The Story of Morning and Evening
Part 1
So for hours and hours, he just sat there, nobody. Hardly known to anybody else, he gazed into the world that seemed to not acknowledge him. Blinking heavily, the man stood, wearing a blue fur jacket and a suit underneath. Walking toward the balcony he stared up at the stars, the white haired man named Hiver sighed. Never once knowing the meaning of being alive, being born, dying. His long ponytail swayed in the wind as he muttered,
"I never knew the feeling of seeing light, I have only seen darkness. Forever blind to the stories out there, waiting to be discovered" Hiver turned to the two girls sitting inside, "Hortensia, the mistress of life and light. And Violette, the mistress of death and darkness. Being with me since that day, oh Chloe. My dear Chloe, losing a person of which put her in misery. Being let down, with her loss"
Hiver sauntered back inside, the two mistresses awakening from their gaping daydreaming. They both stood and curtsied to Hiver,
"Bonjour, Monsieur Hiver" They both said at the same time, Hortensia wore a black laced tunic and a blue edged cardigan with a blue skirt. And Violette also wore a black laced tunic, except she had a purple edged cardigan and a purple skirt. They both wore laced bonnets the colour of their skirts, on Hortensia's left cheek a sun shaped marking was always there. But on Violette's right cheek a moon shaped marking was there, both of which could be seen on Hiver's cheeks as well.
"Bonjour Hortensia, Bonjour Violette" Hiver replied he continued talking to the two girls, "Mistress of Life and Light, Mistress of Death and Darkness. I want to know, are there any Romans* out there? Are there Roman's waiting to be told about my past, things I will never find out on my own? My two marionettes from my life" Hiver took their hands and placed them to his marks on his cheeks, "Would you find those Romans?"
"Oui, Monsieur Hiver" They both said, Hiver smiled and let go of their hands,
"Now" Hiver paused, his hands being held by two small soft hands, "Get going"
The two marionettes turned to each other and held up one hand gesturing a 'goodbye', they ran in the opposite directions and the two mistresses split. Only to reunite with Hiver, once their mission was complete, then Hortensia stopped to find a funeral was taking place.
a/n: If you want to find the song I write this from, it's called' Asa to Yoru no Monogatari' by Sound Horizon, sorry it's so short. Not much happens in this song. It's set in France, I think, and the album is called Roman.
Translations:
Roman = 'story' in French
