Tale of the Moon Goddess
Prolog
Long ago, there was a beautiful goddess whose eyes were the color of oceans, and it was said that the light that seemed to come from her and gave joy to others, was the light that the god of the sun tried to capture in the fiery star that hung over the earth. She lived with her own kind in the heavens, far away from the dragons and demons of earth. These gods of purity were respected, praised, and loved by all their followers. The same was for this goddess of beauty. Only, there were those who didn't follow the gods of purity, and hated them for their exquisiteness and light. These were the creatures of shadow.
These creatures were not demons. No, they were something far worse than that. These creatures managed to hide themselves from the gods of purity and in secret, they planned their demise, starting with the most beautiful and pure of them— the goddess of the moon. These creatures would soon be known as the gods of shadows.
Unfortunately, they succeed in destroying the moon goddess and the other gods of purity, though the gods of shadow still hate the moon goddess after thousands of years for she is still a threat to them.
Before the elves or humans walked the earth, when there were only the dragons and demons, the sun god fell deeply and madly in love with the moon goddess. Her father, the ruler of the gods of purity, said that if he wished to be with his daughter, then he must prove his love for her.
Night after night, the god of the sun watched as the moon goddess danced across the heavens, giving the earth the silver light of the moon. Yet, as she danced with the silver orb that contained her powers in hand, the light faded, until for a while the world was left in darkness as the goddess slept. As she slept and regained her power, the light of the orb slowly filled, and once it did the goddess woke once more to dance in the heavens.
The god of the sun took his own power and created it into an orb, though with his he had captured the light of the moon goddess. He wanted to give the world this gift so that they knew the beauty of the one who had first given them light.
The ruler of the gods of purity was pleased with this and said that if the sun god could get his daughter to return his love, then she would be his. So for a long time in the years of mortals, the two danced across the heavens, the son god always trying to catch up to the moon goddess.
Then finally, one day, the moon goddess let the sun god catch her, and the earth was eclipsed in darkness. The sun god did not care. He had finally, after so long, reached his love.
The moon goddess accepted the sun god with open arms, for in secret, for many years, she had wished for him as well. Though, like her father, she had wanted to see if his love was pure in her own way. Little did the two lovers know the fury of the ruler of the gods of purity would be tested when he saw the darkness.
He separated the two lovers and forced them to chase after each other as they had done for centuries before. Though, the next time the moon goddess rested her powers, it was soon clear that she was with child.
For a while, it was only the god of the sun who danced through the heavens. Yet, when the moon goddess joined him once more, she carried their small son with her. His eyes were as blue as his mother's, and his hair was just as golden. When she brought the child with her, the earth received a new gift – the stars.
For a few short years, which seemed like only moments to the gods of purity, they lived in peace. But, the creatures of the shadows soon attacked. They destroyed the other gods of purity while the moon goddess and the god of the sun were dancing through the heavens.
When the god of the sun returned home to rest, he saw his home in ruins. Before he could escape the creatures of shadow captured and destroyed him. Right before his death, he passed his powers onto his son. He knew that by doing this that his love would know he was dead, but he hoped against all hope that she would stay away from her home and stay safe, along with their child. With his last breath he muttered a prayer for them, but to whom, it is unknown. For, whom does a god pray to?
It didn't seem that the sun god's prayer was heard though, for as soon as the moon goddess saw that her son had received her lover's powers, she came looking for the now dead sun god. What she found was the same as what the god of the sun had found. And like him, she too was captured.
Though, she was not killed immediately, she was taken to the leader of the creatures of shadow, and unlike so many of her kind who had trembled in his presence, she held her head high, and her eyes held only determination. The only outward sign of fear was that her arms tightened around her son whom she still carried in her arms.
She was ordered to be killed, but more slowly and painfully than any of the other gods of purity. She was, after all, the purest one of their enemies.
Right before she died, she used the same spell her lover had used and gave all her power to her son, and before any of the shadow creatures could touch him, she sent her son, frozen in time, to earth. It was then that humans and elves came to the world.
From that horrible day that the gods of purity were killed, to this very day and time, the gods of the shadows still look for the moon goddess' child. He is the key to their destruction, and yet, he is also the key to their victory over earth.
For a key can always turn both was.
