"In the ancient war of the Sun and the Moon, no one knew where to go or where to hide, or who to choose. The Moon wanted to cover the Earth in her beautiful darkness, and the Sun wanted to cover the Earth with his joyful light. But in the end the Sun and the Moon couldn't come to terms, and so war was the only choice. Battles after battles, the Moon saw what had become of them, she wanted to be at peace with the Sun, but he didn't believe her. And so with a final strike of his sword he ended the Moon's life, and with her final breath she created a necklace that holds her spirit. She spent her final moments looking into the eyes of the Sun, cursing him for his mistake, she then bled onto the Earth, turning into water and holding the necklace. The Sun was cursed to become the Moon at night, and to stare at his reflection on the water to see what his mistake has brought for all eternity. As for the Moon, she went into eternal rest..."
"Was that story true?"
"Of course it was my dear, in fact I have the necklace!"
"Really?"
"Yes, and it's for you to keep and to remember me."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
