Chapter Two

Solaris/Lunaris Temple

At the brink of day, some place at the other side of the forest as far as the human and elvish eyes can see from Kanikaro Village, a temple of both forces conjoin in one place. The temple hold not only one girl in the, the sun-kissed redhead we know in love, but also a white-haired heretic, both cursed with the stone spell caused by the sorceress. The temple holds of white pillars that look on the brink of the outside world and its glory. Inside, the temple represents a sun mark in the center where Leona stands in cursed stone.

Leona awakens with the glow of a thousands suns aiming towards her. At that moment, she looked confused but with the knowledge of her own home at her hand. At that point, Leona looked around her cabinets in her dressing room to find her journal to write on as days pass by. Leona senses that someone is approaching with vigilance, but not in great hindsight. In the other hand, Leona grasps that not only she, but Diana became cursed with same spell, but wakes in a different time of day: at night.

She sat on her chair, twirling at her hair, wishing for the curse to end so. She can feel now that someone is coming along to save her. She knows it won't be easy, and those monsters will stop him at no cost. But at what price? She knows he can do it, somehow.

Then she looked back to Diana, since she's not the only one with that curse through her head. Some witch had casted her into this temple to "live until someone comes to stand and fight her." But she also had that vision. She never met him before, this kind of "hero." She imagined this knight in shining armor with a trusted steed to come and fight for her freedom.

During her lunch, she always goes for a nice apple, sometimes a sandwich or a steak dinner. She doesn't do her tradition much since she has been locked up in the same place for some long years. This seems like her only time to eat as she passes through day after day, the only foods provided by the temple itself.

At the end of the day, as the sun closes, her imagination fades into stone, as her eyes start to close, to engulf her in a statue made of stone. Her wavy outfit has made into a boring color, and so her shoes and gloves all cover in her body. She takes this sun setting down as a "rest for the night," or so she says.

On the brink of evening, after the sun sets, Diana awakens with the Lunar power surrounding her. Like her other part, Leona, she awakes confused but with the diligence to acknowledge that a hero is coming to save her, too. With blade at hand, she waits anyone to challenge her and restore her righteous glory. her heretic personality doesn't stop her from praising the moon every night.

During the night hours, Diana gazes into Leona's soul as she had loved her once somehow, but no remorse had taken for her instincts. But now she practices meditation in the night, saying to "raise her focus." In her eyes, however, she wouldn't even care for Leona one second, even after the curse was given to her.

Still, she imagined a hero of the same kind coming through the obstacles faced in his journey to not only save her, but to "enjoy the embrace of the moon" or so she would say. She feels as if she and Leona were intertwined in the cycle of life. However, she still can't imagine about that witch who gave her the curse, somehow. She didn't remember her family much either. Maybe it was not family as she remembered it.

Diana doesn't do much in the night. Sometimes she wanders around in the temple, wondering why she had been trapped inside with Leona. But other than that, she meditates all night until she turns to stone again. Diana took her rest on the same place she's standing every night, like the same place where Leona stands and takes her rest.

And the cycle continues for both of them. By day, Leona, and by night, Diana. Only their truth speaks of an adventurer who will save both from the evil curse within. However, their imagination did not tell of an unexpected visitor who would save them both and end their curse.

END OF CHAPTER TWO

After two years, the story has finally returned to take upon a mystery of the Sun and the Moon. Oh, and I am PurpleKingCrazy, but you already knew that by the name. Still, I am not here to give away any information other than what Leona does by day and what Diana does by night. I don't feel quite loved by the beauty of Leona anymore now that I think about it.

I may be posting a chapter every week or so through revision and editing. But then the vision is still there, ready to finish what I had started. I may be posting a forum of the Rising of the Sun discussion sometime soon if you have any questions regarding the story. I'll be checking every other day, so I won't answer immediately to anyone's questions. I consider this story interesting in my experience and it has come to my attention that I could bring it back.

Thank you all :}
