Chapter 1: Their Faith is Here.

On an opening of a cave, the young siblings were running along on the edges. It was Aphelios and his Sister Alune, running happily as they strode from left and right balancing near the edge. The height was terrifying.

"Careful!" Screamed Aphelios as he held on the wall. "That part is too steep, let's go back before father sees us."

"Don't worry Phel..." She balanced herself with her steps. "See it's not bad, don't be a wimp." Alune jokingly teases him, but then in seconds with rumble the unfortunate happened, Alune slipped and hanging on the edge. "Brother!!!" She screamed.

Aphelios was terrified, hastily he ran towards her. Quickly grabbed her hand.

"Don't let go." She screamed.

Aphelios began pulling her into him and safely got right back. The immediately went back to the cave where they we're been and back to the entrance. Tired they sat on the stones.

"Don't scare me like that again." Aphelios said to her as he braced his hands on her shoulder.

"Sorry, I got carried away." Alune laughed in embarrassment. "Besides I have a strong brother to protect me." she smiled at him.

"..." Aphelios' face turned bright red. "ehh... did you just forgot? you almost died!" He stood up. "Let's go back to the tribe."

"Ughhh! you're no fun." Alune got up and took his hand.

"It will getting dark soon." Aphelios looked at the horizon.

The two went back to their place. As they track their steps Aphelios pondered his future with Alune.

"Luna, Do you think that we're not the choosen ones." He asked.

"What do you mean?"

"It's just what if... we're not the ones who will set free out Race." Aphelios cleared.

Alune fell silent.

"Is it too much huh? Luna."

"Do you have faith Phel?" She asked.

"What do you mean by faith?" he asked.

"The moonlight shows my path every night." She answered.

"So you do think, we're the chosen ones."

"Don't waver my brother, Trust in me as much the Lunari trust us." She stopped walking and looked at Aphelios. "Our Faith is Here." She pointed at their place. "Our people."

Aphelios stood still, didn't answered her words.

"Phel, I know you have faith, somewhere in you." She placed her hand on his chest. "You just need to find it."

It came to him. Aphelios realized that She was his faith, their bond is the ignition of his faith inside him.

"L-Luna.. you're my faith." he said to her.

She blushed and looked away from her twin, thinking it was a joke.

"Don't call me Luna.. just use my real name."

Aphelios chuckled. "But you kept calling me 'Phel'."

"Oh Phel.. I will always be by your side, so your faith won't waver." She happily encourages him.

Aphelios smiled. "I won't leave you too."

"Let's go back home brother."

"Sure."
