" I did not mean to be cruel. I swear I am good, I am good, I am kind. I have love inside me. Some place far far away. "

"The moon does not have the ability to create it's own light. It merely reflects the sunlight."

"The moon doesn't make it's own light?"

"No, it is not capable. So the moon spent it's entire life existence trying to prove it's worth, but to no avail."

"Is this a sad story?"

"Mm, well, I would suppose it is."

"Why are all stories sad? Even the ones with happy ending, they start sad."

"Well, if you think about it, it's like real life, no?"

"I suppose."

"Of course, our story is sad, no? We met because of misfortune but look at us now."

"..You can continue the story. I think I'm okay with a little sadness in a story."

With a small airy laugh the male continued. "The sun carries the burden sustaining life on earth all alone. In doing so the sun lost everything when obeying it's purpose."

"Everything?"

"Everything. But even so, both were molded to belong in the sky. Never truly alone but never together either. For they could not both exist in one another's worlds."

"But isn't there one day every few years when they exist together? I can't remember the name.. Um, solar..something" The young woman stuttered trying to remember the name. After all her life did not start with teaching, even when she's considered an adult she knows little. Only medicine all their knowledge steaming from experience on past wounds for both him and her.

"A solar eclipse."

"Right, that, totally could have gotten it."

"Uh huh, there is a time in which they will go together in the sky but it takes a long time, and when it happens you must never look. For it you do, you'll become blind from how brightly they will shine."

"That sound beautiful."

"It is, but it is very dangerous as well." The man nodded putting his hand on her head. The girl smiled as they leaned into his tender touch.

"My beautiful doe, beware the moon, it will be loyal and it may seem like a friend but you can't trust something miles away to save you."

"Why do I sense this isn't about the moon anymore?" She asked in a childish huff.

"You're so childish."

"Hey!"

"Years ago, I did not understand those words. But I do now, I believe. Did he speak of you? Did he tell me the story of you and your bother?"
