‘Come along and walk with me.” Her gorgeous blue, velvet dress dragged behind her. Embellished with silver and amethysts. Her long flowing black hair was pulled neatly into a braid. Her tired eyes did nothing to diminish her ethereal beauty. A large black cat walked beside her. On it’s large forehead among it’s long hair was a silver moon that shown delicately.

“Coming, Mother.” Behind her walked a young man. His short, blond wavy hair highly contrasting that of his mothers. His orange and red suit was embroidered with bright gold thread. Unlike his mother he was wide awake.

Long ago the moon had been the only light. But it had been cursed so that it was always tired and could only sleep once every thirty days. This cast the world is darkness and very little work could be done. But when her sun was born The Sky, her father blessed him so that he could shine brighter then even his mother. Now they worked together side by side.

They walked along on a worn, broken path. Beautiful flowers filled the air with sweet smells which delighted the nose. Both the Sun and Moon were above them. They could rarely be in the same place. She linked arms with her sun as she walked. He had grown even taller since she last saw him.

“How I missed you, Sol my dear.”

“You have me now.”

“But only for a little.” She leaned her head against his shoulder. It broke her heart without fail every time he had to leave.

“We shall see each other again.”

She could feel herself fading. She stopped and gently brushed her hand against her sun’s cheek. He leaned into her touch. She kissed his pale forehead. She faded into an array of millions of stars. They could be only where their light shined. As the eclipse ended so did their chance to see each other.

“Farewell, Luna.”
