A young boy not much older than eight sat restlessly in his bed as an elderly man approached him.

"Grandpa tell me a story"

"Well alright I think I will tell you the story that has been passed down through our family for many generations. The Legend of the Silver Moon."

They boy smiled and laid back against his pillow while the old man pulled out a chair from the little desk by the boy's bed. He slowly sat down and coughed a few times as though testing the child's patience before beginning the tale.

"It was said back in the medieval times that strange things always happened, but nothing tops the story of what happened to two sisters and how their lives changed for the worst. You see these sisters were very close though one was a few years older than the other. Each had their own talents and personality, but when working together nothing could stop them. The eldest sister was named Lunar Knight, she was brilliant at archery. No man or woman could out shoot her with gun, nor arrow. She was not only quick but was skilled with many deadly weapons. Among those weapons was her favorite the scythe. Now while Lunar was training with the large weaponry her younger sister Solar was working on, well ninja skills. Solar was top in her class in knife throwing and could hit a target of any size with ease. Like her sister she was quick which made her all the more deadly. Don't think she will be easy close up because she also trained with swords and both sisters were masters at close combat. Yes these two were some of the best fighters across the lands though only one thing stood in their way of letting them use their talents in battles. They just happened to be royalty. Lunar and Solar were princesses of the Blue Kingdom one of the biggest and well respected royal families known. Though as many kingdoms the Blue Kingdom had an enemy the Red Kingdom.

The Red Kingdom was known for its brutality and often caused wars. So you can believe the Red King was proud to have had three sons to pass on the bloodline and power in battle. Now it is said that back then girls were not allowed to fight in the war that the kingdoms held every sixteen years but the Blue King's daughters begged him to fight. The King loved his daughters but he couldn't bare to watch them both get hurt so he did the only thing he could. He agreed to let the eldest daughter fight this way if Lunar had been slain he would still have a daughter to marry off and hopefully Solar would not wish to fight anymore. This angered Solar of course for she thought it was unfair her sister got to fight and she couldn't. Supposedly she ran off to the Red Kingdom and begged him to fight and the Red King couldn't say no to have his enemy's daughter fighting for him. When word broke out about the about Solar joining the Red army the Blue King was said to have disowned his daughter. He then told Lunar that she must not hold back against her sister and must kill her sister for acts of treason. Though Lunar loved her sister she knew she would have to listen to her father or she would be killed as well. So the night of the battle both armies a lined and waited for the moon to rise as their signal. Solar and Lunar locked eyes on each other for they were both in the first line of the both the armies. It is said that when their gazes met the whole battle field seemed to grow cold from the hatred and betrayal they felt blazing from the two. When the moon has rose to its highest point the two armies charged at full speed towards their enemies. Red versus Blue and Sister versus Sister. Lunar and Solar were out in front running faster than their men though right before their blades collided a light flashed from what seemed like the moon. When the light faded the two sisters had vanished and the only thing left were two stone necklaces. One with a blue jade stone the other with a red jade stone. Both kings were given a stone of their color and somehow they both knew what they must do. Each king chose a knight to find their missing princess and were told to not return until they have found them. Once found they would finish their fight and then finally see who would win among the battle of betrayal. "

"Grandpa what happened to the sisters?" the boy asked sitting up to look out at the moon through the window.

"No one knows what happened to them, all they know was that night the moon shown silver as though saying this was the work of the gods."

"What about the knights? Do you think they will ever find the missing princesses?"

The old man smiled and patted the young boy on the head.

"I do believe they will find the princesses no matter how long it takes. The stones will be passed down from generation to generation picking out a worthy lad as yourself to go out to search."

The boy smiled jumping out of his bed and quickly ran to his closet where he pulled out a wooden sword.

"Do you think I will be chosen to find a princess? I am brave and strong just like a knight!" he shouted swinging the sword wildly at a shirt hanging on the bedroom door.

The old man laughed and motioned the boy to come to him. "Yes you have quite the spirit that it would take to find the sisters. So maybe if you train and stay pure you might be chosen to continue the search, but you can't get stronger if you don't sleep so off to bed." He said lifting the boy and laying him on the bed.

"Now go to sleep Skye before you know it your adventure will soon begin." The man said as he tucked the boy in and walked out of the room. The young boy didn't quite understand what adventure his grandfather spoke of but he could only wish it was him finding the lost sisters, and bringing them back to their kingdoms where they belonged…
