Reading 20

"It is Sun," Moon finished and to his fear, the god only looked at him sadly.

The god of Day talked about how Sun was born from a nymph - Serena, a beautiful woman. But nymphs could not live forever and so she passed. Moon asked what would happen to Sun and the god answered that they need to restore her mortality and the god should give his energy to her.

Sun would heal but she might heal too well. The god then said that from the moment he saw Sun in moon's arms, he realized how truly different she was.

Moon and Sun managed to get along ; touch without hurting each other. Sun's touched could have burned Moon and Moon's coldness could also have suffocated her flames, but it did not. The god of Day said that Sun might be the Daylighter in the prophecy and once their energy emerged, Sun would ascend to the upper Tier.

Moon then said that if Sun would ascend, she would be left all alone but the god argued that he wanted to let her daughter live.

Yes, she will live, Moon thought and that was enough to consider the option.

She lives... but without her, I die.
