Once before the dawn of time
And the emptiness of the void
Exists only two beings
Solaris, the flame of heavens
Who lights the empty space
And Luna, the successor of twilight
Whom the night owes its faint radiance
There came a time when who we call the world,
Or perhaps the universe or God or truth or all or one
Spawned yet another breathe of life
Humanity
As ages went by, the two firstborns grew closer to each other
It didn’t take long till they fell in love with each other
This brought an anomaly to the nature of everything
For the two aren’t supposed to be brought together
Solaris has the duty of lighting up the mortal day
And Luna on the other hand, posses the opposite role
Illuminating the mortal world swallowed by the night
As they went off together, the mortal world was enveloped in utter darkness
The mortals called upon their creator
And he simply cannot ignore their cries
So he brought Solaris and Luna back to where they used to be
Bound them apart
He raised masses of land and so came the mountains
He up welled water from beneath the ground and so came the oceans
Both meant to come between the two
Time went on and on
And the pain of longing for their other half grew more and more intense
As the two went through painful days of encircling the world
Knowing that the other one is on the opposite side
The Creator saw this and was heartened
So he allowed the two to see each other
Twice a mortal year, depending on the circumstances that is
Their meetings later was called eclipse
During only these times shall humanity know the sacrifice made by the two
For their greater good
