Twinkling Stars

Once there was a girl as bright as the sun named Solay, and a girl that glowed like the moon named Celeste, they were sisters and cared deeply for each other.

As the two grew older so too did there beauty grow, and soon they were kown throughout the land.

Suiter after suiter came trying to whooh one if the sisters, but through it all the sisters stayed firm never leaving the others side.

Then the day they turned eighteen years old and every year after their father would come to them and say. "Oh my darling girls you bring me happiness beyond even the sun and moon, but please tell me why you refuse to marry, I love you both dearly but I would also love some grandkids".

Then like clockwork the girls would answer in unison. "We wish to stay together Father, for our love for each other surly surpasses anything we could feel for a husband or even a child.

There father would sigh and leave the two only to ask the same question the next year to find that his beloved daughters answers still remained the same.

Suiter after suiter year after year their answer always remained the same, until after a while they were no longer seen as a wife or someone to care for but a prize to be won.

One day many years down the line the prince of the kingdom himself came to see the maidens his kingdom spoke so highly of, and to try to win one of them for himself.

The prince had a darkness in his heart full of greed and anger boiling, festering inside of him, and he wished to gain the favor of the sunlit girl Solay.

Every day he would come to her in her garden the promise of sweat nothingness on his lips, and every day her answer remained the same one she gave her father.

The Prince grew tired of this determined to take his prize, growing bolder and bolder every day. But again and again she would reject him.

One day the prince decided he had had enough. That day when he met her in the garden to whisper sweat nothing's in her ear he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it through her heart, he watched her callopse relishing in it she could no longer belong to anyone only to him as the one who killed her.

The prince fled the village leaving behind the dagger and the girls sister and father.

Celeste was the one who found her, and from afar her sister looked almost peaceful as though she had fallen asleep amongst the flowers and fruits.

When Celeste saw the blood and dagger she let out a long whail filled with pure sorrow tears filling her soft lovely face. she had lost her sister? her other half, the sunshine in her life, her twin, she felt an empty space in her heart a feeling as though when her sister had died it had torn a price of her heart out as well, and she knew what she had to do.

Slowly her hand trembling Celeste reached out a delicate hand and took hold of the dagger. She looked to the heavens and imagined her sister just beyond her reach and then Solay was gone once again all that was left were the twinkling stars far far above her as she plunged the dagger into her own heart as well.

Celeste's body collapsed to the ground spread lifelesly next to her sister, and the Gods took pity there was no returning the girls to life but there was something they could do.

The Gods called upon the powers of the sun and the moon and the stars swirling them and mixing them as the girls so too had been entwined.

Every now and then you can see the Gods work if you look up to the night sky on a clear night much like the one on which they died you can see them two sisters smiling in a bed of flowers happy to be with one another one last time.
