Or How The Fiery Star Fell In Love With The Silver Snake
Once upon a time, this legend does proclaim
The ether sky was ruled by two stern foes
Over the years a feud so great has bloomed
But none of the opponents knew when it was sowed
Six Brothers, fierce and strong, with flaming locks
Controlled the sky by day, while blazing bright
And Silver Snake, with cold and cunning heart
In solitude controlled the sky by night
The Brothers burned with might so great
Illuminating every corner of the world
While Silver Snake remained untouched and mild
Shining coldly, around himself was curled
This might've never changed if not for twists of fate
Cause Brothers' family expended once again
And Sister was created from the searing sun
A dainty creator, small but fierce beyond mundane
The Brothers were bewildered, for she shone alone
While they were bound together by the flames
Their love for her, however, grew each day
They burned much stronger and things were just same
But years passed by and She became upset
Her light, though fiery and intense, was unseen
For side by side her Brothers were the sun
And she, a tiny star, no matter how much keen
Once, when the Brothers rested peacefully in sleep
She fled their dwelling, wishing to shine for her own
But when she reached the crest of skies
She realized the night was not alone
She recognized the Silver Snake, of course
Her Brothers spoke of him so many times
But never did they mentioned that he was
Indeed, not hideous and head-to-toe in grime
She glanced down and saw, to her delight
That she was seen and this she did prefer
She scanned the night sky but saw just him
His silver eyes embedded into hers
"You are the Silver Snake," she spoke out bravely
"The one who see no use in burning mirth.
My Brothers said you dwell the skies unruly
Because you cannot find peace upon the earth"
"And who are you, might be?" he hissed at her
His voice drawled out in boredom and contempt
His eyes slipped on her silken skin and hair
And inwardly he praised her weak attempt
"But I should recognize the flaming locks,
You are another piece of burning sun"
He stated in disdain and turned away
Indicating that their chat was done
She gasped in rage, her skin shone scarlet
"How dare you claim such foul lies!
I am my own and shine alone!
Right here and on another thousand skies!"
"You do?" he arched his brow in malice
"Then how come no one ever saw you shine?
For sure such fury should be well known
At least as your Brothers or as mine…"
She silenced and gazed down in shame
She mumbled something, but he did not hear
"I said I am too small!" she shouted as reply
When he viciously asked her to be more clear
He laughed in mirthless glee and watched her flush
The frost in his eyes enough to make her cold
He shifted his position and glanced at her again
"You may stay here tonight, if you're that bold…"
She smiled, quite shocked, but did not say a word
That night she shone so proudly all eyes have seen
The fierceness of her blaze and the warmth of her heart
And the newborn deity of fury in her glorious sheen
But soon the night was over and the Snake had left
And her six Brothers appeared beyond the hill
They flared at her with rage for fleeing from their home
She apologized, but knew she must again be real
The next night, as soon as her Brothers fell asleep
She fled again and tumbled to highest peak
And there he was again, unnerved by anything
And exactly whom she came to seek
"I see you found your way back, Little Star
Weren't your Brothers upset?" he asked uncared
"Did they not forbid you to come near me?"
She shrugged, but gulped "I am not scared…"
He laughed again at her, with mirth this time
"You are not scared, Little Star?" he asked, unbelieving
"Oh, but you are. I see it in your eyes"
She cringed under his stare, but knew she wasn't leaving
"Alright, Little Star," he hissed at her with a smirk
"You wish to shine in lightless sky, so shine.
I will not stop you from your doings
But time will come and I'll claim what is mine"
She nodded fearlessly and watched him smile again
Somehow she knew that her decision was right
She smiled at him and turned away
Resuming shining in the night
This night she returned to her Brothers' dwelling
Before it was too late she faked her sleep
And when they woke her up, she went with them
Knowing that her secret she must keep
Thus were many years the deities dwelled
She shone by day, while still unseen
And also shone by night, admired and praised
And her Brothers knew nothing of her sin
But, alas, she grew tired with every passing year
Shining both day and night, not having any rest
Was not easy as she thought it was
And she had to think of something if she wished to last
"What is on your mind?" asked the Snake one night
In all these years he grew accustomed to the Little Star
"Why are you dull? Are you sick of your sheen?"
His voice as always was superior and cold as she remain afar
He called again to her and this time she replied
"I'm growing weary, Silver Snake. I cannot shine much more…
I do not rest and this is much more harder than I thought.
Can't you see I'm paining to the core?"
His silver face remained aloof, while his heart sank
A strange possessive twinkle sparked inside his eyes
"What are you saying, Little Star?" his voice was low and changed
He clenched his jaw as his emotions began to rise
She looked at him, her face so pale while tears rushed down
The ember of her eyes pleaded for his comfort, but he remained at bay
"I do not know what I am saying. I am just tired.
Perhaps I should return and rest tonight" she said and ran away
And in the darkness of the night he watched her as she fled
The sky became so cold and held much naught
Her burning figure disappeared and he was left alone
To realize he found what he had never sought
She ran so fast she could not see a thing
Her heart was breaking out; her tears had won
She rushed into her house to find her Brothers
Wide-awake and angered that she dared to run
Many nights passed and she had not returned
His loneliness was like a searing knife
Which stabbed into his heart whenever he dared
To think without her there'll be life
Her Brothers raged for many days and scowled at her
Like at a disobedient child who knew not of his wrongs
But she remained just silent and did not fought
Despite how strongly she began to long
He raved upon his lands, unable to stop his thoughts
The air became so cold and night so cruel
He couldn't breathe again for she was gone
What good were solitude and all the lands he ruled?
Days flew by and night crawled painfully slowly
She wept her tears as darkness reigned her mind
For she had realized that He also dwelled within her heart
And that his eyes had penetrated her rind
More nights had passed and still she was not there
He came upon the edge of his control
And with a fury matching hers to dare
He finally allowed himself to fall
The next day, when the six Brothers and her form
Came to the crest as they did every dawn
They found that the Snake remained in the sky
And did not disappear despite the blooming morn
"What is this? Silver Snake shines by day?" asked the first-born
"Why are still around? Leave!" commanded the third
"The night had slithered away and so should you" raged the fifth
But the Snake remained still as if he had not heard
Instead, he gazed in silence upon the fiery star,
Who seemed so meek and pale beside her scorching Brothers
He could not avert his eyes, his heart now breathing
And he no longer noticed all the others
She held herself as not to crumble down
She wished to be so close and hold him
But, she knew, this could never ever be
And finally she broke and tears began to brim
He tried to rush to her but he was thrown aback
Her Brothers stood so high, their flames like searing fists
He stroke upon them all, his wrath and love combined
And they stroke back, with wrath and hate, fighting like wild beasts
All the men upon the land, who happened on this sight
Were struck with awe as the sun covered the moon
They saw the very first eclipse like battle at its' heat
But everything was over soon
She shed her tears for Brothers and for him
As they fought each other with ruthless might
But suddenly she realized what must be done
So once and for all to end this fight
She waved her arms and the opponents were cut apart
"This has gone too far!" was voice was thunderous and deep
"This aimless feud shall cease, tonight! I know not of what was sowed
But dead Brothers and a lover, I will not reap!"
The six Brothers stared at her, surprised
The Silver Snake remained unnerved
Though deep inside his heart had leapt
As with this gift he was just served
And thus the feud was over and two rivals agreed to cease
She left her Brothers' house that night
And came to the dwelling of the Snake
Where she was welcomed by the clear and softest light
"You spoke of love today," he suddenly said quietly
"How can you claim so freely such great emotion?
How can you 'love' a Snake, my Little Star?"
His voice was designed to be aloof, but she saw the craving notion
She heaved a deep breath and took his hand
"My dearest Snake, I do not know how I can feel
Such love for you, but please be sure of its' intensity
Be sure my feelings are of real"
He gazed this time into her eyes, his silver orbs shine bright
His lips curved up into a smile before he sought her own
And soon in yearning kiss they were engaged
He knew then very clearly - he will never be alone
So this is how our legend ends - the Silver Snake fell in love
And this is how the ancient feud was broken
Now, every time their family comes together there is an eclipse
And it is there to remind that love does conquest hate, this simple token.
