" Will she be alright?" Moon asked to the god of Day and he was intrigued by Moon's concern. He then shifted his gaze towards the goddess of Night and they exchanged greetings. The god of Day appreciated the Night goddess for helping in returning his daughter and said that he would let them know of her condition  but Moon interrupted saying that he wouldn't leave his Sun. The god was mildly shocked at Moon's persistence and ability to stare him down. 

But the god said he wanted to speak with the Night goddess instead, which slightly confused Moon. The Night goddess gave assurance to Moon by placing her hand on his shoulder and Moon gave her a small smile before she went away with the god of Day.

Moon was left alone in the great hall and looked at the door in which they took his Sun, wishing for her to be well. Then he waited. 

And waited.

The two Kingdoms lived apart to maintain the balance of the universe. They have been separated for a long time that's why the Daylighters were surprised when they saw the Night goddess and her son as well as their lost goddess.

"Sun!" The God of Day exclaimed, emanating strength and authority. Moon looked up as the doors opened, revealing a tall man with a sharp jaw and hard and intimidating features - a contrast to the Night goddess calm and collected disposition. Moon held onto Sun more tightly and held his ground.

The God of Day shouted orders to take Sun to her chambers as well as to summon the healer. He then gave thanks to Moon for returning his daughter.

As they reached the Nightseekers kingdom, the Night goddess was already waiting for them with a face that portrayed calmness and peace. But the Night goddess' calm expression turned into worry as she had a closer look at Sun's diminishing glow.

Moon asked her mother to help him heal Sun but the Night goddess said that it was beyond her power since Sun was a Daylighter. The Night goddess then promised that she would help Moon to take Sun back to their Kingdom and so, the three of them went to the kingdom where Sun belonged to.

Moon convinced Sun about going back to their kingdom. At first, Sun hesitated because she was kind of afraid what would happen to the both of them -  to the love they shared for one another. Moon promised that nothing would happen to them, that they would forever be together no matter what. Moon hopped to the Griffin, a magical creature with the face and body of a lion  and talons of an eagle, a creature of Moon's kind. Sun held tightly onto the Griffin's neck and they rode through the night sky, returning to their Kingdom.
