Ampere & Zèklè
"Maybe some day you can try," she murmured truthfully to the boy's inquiry. Who was she to stand before him and tell him he couldn't do anything? "You'd have to be faster than the whales though, and the clouds, and the wind. Because no matter how fast you seem to run, you can't ever seem to catch the sun... but maybe no one has been fast enough yet, hmm?" She proffered him as wink as she settled into the sand, wings loose at her sides as her mane danced in the breeze. She paused to build the moment, and to gather her breath for what would be a detailed story."Well, the story of the moon and the sun might help your with your question," she began, teasing the scruffy mane that sprouted on his slender neck as she leaned in close to whisper. "It all began when the four gods were making Helovia. The God of the Earth claimed the land as his, wanting to be close to his mortal children and all the creatures he tended. The God of the Spark claimed the heavens, where the beyond world exists and time is woven into existence. That left just the God of the Sun and the Goddess of the Moon left, but they both wanted the same place, the sky." Ampere glanced up at the limitless plane of blue, admiring it as the sun cast his last colors before night fell. "The sky was so lovely, that even the other gods had to take some part of it. That's why rain falls down from it, as part of the Earth God's touch, and why storms snarl with lightning, all due to the God of the Spark. What the brother Sun and sister Moon were really arguing about though, was who owned the sky." Here Ampere made somewhat of a face, because she still didn't really think anyone owned the sky. Of all the heavenly bodies, it seemed the most free, and that was why pegasus were born - but that was a different story. "The Moon Goddess tried to claim the sky by saying her element, the wind, was the most obvious choice. And so she sent her breath across the land the Earth had created, helping to shape it. Her other brothers nodded in agreement, and for a time the world was plunged into eternal darkness. Yet the plants did not grow, and the animals froze. The Sun God stepped forward after a time, asking for his siblings to come to their senses. He said that life needed flame, for it's heat and its power was what fueled the muddy golems of the Earth. The other two brothers agreed, and so the world was cast into endless day. At first all seemed well, yet the continuous light did not give the plants time to rest, and they withered in exhaustion, while the eternal heat wasted the animals away." Surely her lightning could understand that part - enduring Tallsun in the Dragon's Throat was no easy task, even with a night fall. "The Earth and the Spark finally stepped in after a time, calling order to their family and the realm. They proposed that the Sun and the Moon lead together, as neither were suitable alone. The sky was certainly vast enough to hold them both, but as you can imagine, their pride and their differences stood between a peaceable agreement. They had little choice though, and so the Sun settled into his daily throne, and the Moon into her nightly one. The Moon was sly however, and still felt herself best suited, so during the day she would creep into the Sun's domain, casting her shadows everywhere. Because of her, we have the cool shade to hide in when we become too warm. The Sun was furious, and in spite he galloped into her midnight court, his flaming hoof-steps leaving behind the stars we see today, while he plunged some his brilliant light into the moon itself. So it was that he created starlight and moonlight, and in this way, even at night, there is always light to guide us." Ampere smiled down at her son, nosing his neck with a puff of warm breath, a testament to the internal fire all life carried, just as the Sun had said. "The Sun and the Moon argued terribly about that, but the Earth stepped forward, thanking the Moon for her shade, and the Spark appeared to appreciate the assistance the stars had in telling time. The Sun and the Moon were flattered, and had to accept each other's help and mark in their kingdom amid the sky. Still... they fight, which is why the moon goes all dark sometimes, why some stars are kicked out of the sky, why there is more darkness during Frostfall; why the sun at a certain time of day removes all shadows, why there is more light in Tallsun. The Moon chases the Sun away at sunset, and he goes in such beautiful fashion, turning the sky red with war, so that we won't forget him come night. Then, when the moon has shone long enough, the Sun chases the Moon away at sunrise, and he lifts his head with the golden glory of a new day dawning. They are balanced, and the world cannot exist without either of them. You will find the world always has balance little lightning, because there is never one thing that is complete. It's why we need all the elements, all the plants, all the animals, all the ranks... why we need each other. All of us are good, and all of us are bad, it all depends on how we choose to balance what we are, what we have, what we do. You must come to decide on your own, what is important to you." Gently Ampere reached back to one of her loosely extended wings, lips pressing along the shafts of the primary plumage as if she preen. When her head next turned around however, she gripped one of her long flight feathers, its black hues broken up by bands of blue on the topside. "You are important to me," she murmured, leaning out to gift her feather to her son. "I want you to always remember me, like starlight in the night, or shade in the noon." If he'd accept it, her magic could easily tie it permanently into his mane, like those she carried in hers. @[Zèklè] FUCK SORRY FOR THE REPLY THAT TOOK A DAMN ETERNITY
