The Girl Who Cried Flood

This is another story from the book of Kaye Allen. It is a story about two twins who fell in love with the same man.


Exposition:


There was once a city at the very heart of the ocean and it was a paradise for the living. Twin sisters lived in the city and they were very much identical. The only way to distinguish them was in the color of their eyes; Isla - a maiden on earth- had green eyes like leaves while Cordelia - a protector of the sea - had blue orbs. They kept the city's peace and maintaining the prosperity of the land; with Cordelia in the sea while Isla on the land.

Plot
Ending:

Moon would chase her sunsets every single day and to him, that was enough. But there are special days when Moon completely catches Sun and he becomes selfish; shielding her from the earth and keeping her all by himself and that's when we look up in the sky and see a magnificent eclipse.

The Moon glows because of the Sun, for the Moon belongs to Sun as the Sun belongs to the Moon.

Plot
Climax:

The god of Day had to give his powers to Sun for his daughter to heal, but Sun might heal too much for she is the one that the prophecy talked about - that a daylighter would become too powerful that he/she had to go to the higher realms. The ceremony had begun and the god of Day had disappeared and Sun became well again but different. The time had come for Sun to ascend to give light to the world and so, she glew brighter and brighter that everyone had to look away.

Sun disappeared and Moon felt hopeless, he felt anger and confusion. Moon started to glow bright -although nightseekers don't glow - he glew so bright and disappeared as well.

Moon's disappearance was a mystery.

When the Day had gone to give way to Night, the Night goddess went on her routine to shroud the world in shadows and she saw a glowing white ball situated in the high heaves. She stopped to stare, tearing up the sight.

She knew that it was her son, Moon, glowing majestically in the night skies.

She's gone, he thought, panicking. She's really gone...

Moon felt like the universe was coming down on him - anger, pain, love, confusion. He felt like his heart was ripped out as Sun took it with her.

He wasn't even paying attention to her mother calling his name, he was filled with several emotions.

Moon glowed and as the healer, nightseekers do not glow. Everyone took a step back and watched Moon glowed brighter and brighter - so bright that everyone had to look away. The moment they opened their eyes and looked back, Moon was nowhere to be found.
