Chapter 2: Campfire stories

A/N Hello again everybody I'm back with another side story don't know where this came from just all of a sudden I wanted to write it so without further ado let's get started

They were exploring the Lush Woodlands when night began to fall they decided to camp until morning instead of heading back and so they built a fire. They mostly sat around talking to eachother until suddenly Lucas burst out "Man this is boring let's do something fun."

Sally let out a short phhht and said "What exactly are we supposed to do numbskull? It's the middle of the night."

Rebecca stood up pointed dramatically and cried exuberantly "Let's tell stories!"

Lucas, matching her enthusiasm, stood as well "That's a great idea start us off!"

Rebecca's face was blank for a few seconds "I got nothing... Saiko!"

She pointed at the young man who was caught off guard. He looked thoughtful for a moment before he started "There once was a young girl named Goldilocks, she was exploring a forest when she came upon a small cabin, living in the cabin were three bears, they didn't like her very much so they ate her the end."

Rebecca walked up to him and started slapping his back "AHAHAHAHA Saiko you're such a riot!" she continued laughing as Saiko tilted his head in confusion.

Lucas looked at the pair unbelievingly before saying "I really don't think that was supposed to be funny" he let out a sigh "Well anyone else?"

He looked around before Sly said "I've got one." everyone focused on him and he continued "How about the story of the sun and the moon?"

At this Leon smiled "Ah I remember this one mom used to tell it to us all the time." Rebecca shushed him and looked at Sly expectantly

"Let me tell you the story of a tragic love that could never be. The story of how the sun loved the moon so much she died every day so that the other may live." he looked around and everyone was paying attention, even Zeus looked interested so he continued.

"Long ago when the old gods still walked among us never was there a love stronger than that between the goddesses of the sun and the moon. The goddess of the sun was extraordinarily beautiful her long golden hair radiating with warmth and joy, none could claim to be her equal except for the goddess of the moon her silvery locks radiating with peace and serenity."

"They were so different and yet they were inseparable, until one day another goddess, her heart filled with jealousy that she would never capture Sun's gaze in the way Moon did, called upon all her powers and struck Moon down destroying herself in the process."

"Sun was grief striken as she held the body of her dying lover, what would she do without her best friend who had always been beside her? That's when Death appeared his cloak of the darkest black his face pale and almost skeletal and his eyes a deep blood red."

"He spoke not a word and reached for Moon with one bony hand until Sun stopped him and cried out 'wait I want to make a deal!' he turned his chilling gaze upon her and she continued 'I will give up half my life for hers' Death continued to stare his eyes boring deep into her soul until at last he slowly nodded then reached for both of them."

"Sun felt all her strength leaving her until she collapsed on the ground dead and at the same moment Moon rose and saw the retreating figure of Death she looked around until she saw the body of Sun next to her and she wept for with the deal came a terrible burden they would never be able to see the other alive again never be able to feel the warmth of their touch nor the tenderness of their kiss."

As he finished Sly looked around and saw that everyone looked sad Rebecca was clinging to Leon while sobbing and even Dawn was dabbing at the corners of her eyes "Ah sorry I guess I bummed everyone out."

Rebecca let out a big sniff and cried "How could you tell us something so sad! Now I just wanna go lie down." everyone else agreed and so they all want to sleep with their sorrow

A/N hey so how did you like my story I hope you weren't too bummed out I really liked writing this so I might do more like it in the future but until then take care everyone!
