It was the night of the twentieth of June. There was a full moon, and they'd have to be extra careful.

As their nightly routine, the two met under the lone apple tree. Both gazing at the night sky, they talked. The stars seemed to shine brighter than other days that night. No clouds were in sight, and the pair was happy.

Their talking came to a stop, and all seemed to go quiet. One of the princes, the mortal, sighed before speaking once again. "I wish our people would let us be together." Agreeing, the other spoke. "Yeah, then we would be allowed to be together for... forever." And with that, the clock struck three, and the bell rang.

Signifying their departure with their love-filled kiss, the princes didn't notice the faint, glowing light that the apple tree emitted. Nor did they noticed the pair of eyes watching them from afar.

.

The morning after, both princes awoke to a pounding on their doors.

Prince Jonathan of the Underworld jolted out of bed. He knew what today was, and he knew who would be on the other side of his old door. Walking on the cold, black floor, Jon walked to the door. He opened the door to find the person he had expected - his brother, Luke.

"It's time," Luke stated.
Jon nodded. He knew what would happen, he knew of the upcoming events of the day.

Evan, on the other hand, didn't quite feel like rising from his warm sheets, so he simply told the person on the other side of the door to come in.

"Son... you're near 23 years - it's time to take a hand in marriage."
