Fiction! A Tale of Forbidden Love
They loved each other with a passion that burned brighter than the stars, but their love was forbidden by the Creator, who had ordained that they should never touch. For if they did, the balance of the cosmos would be shattered, and chaos would reign. The Sun and the Moon knew the consequences of their actions, but they could not resist the temptation of being together. They devised a plan to elude the watchful eyes of the Creator and the other celestial beings, and to steal a moment of bliss in each other's arms.
They agreed to meet at the edge of the horizon, where the sky and the earth met, and where they could briefly embrace before parting ways. They waited for the perfect opportunity, when the Creator was busy with his other creations, and when the stars and the planets were aligned in their favor. They flew across the sky, faster than the speed of light, and reached their rendezvous point. There, they kissed for the first time, and felt a surge of joy and ecstasy that they had never experienced before. They felt as if they were one, as if they had found their true home.
But their happiness was short-lived, for the Creator soon noticed their absence, and sensed their disobedience. He looked down from his throne, and saw them locked in a forbidden embrace. He was furious, and unleashed his wrath upon them. He sent a bolt of lightning that struck them both, and separated them with a loud thunder. He cursed them, and condemned them to an eternal punishment. He decreed that they would never see each other again, and that they would always be on opposite sides of the sky. He said that the only time they would come close to each other would be during an eclipse, but even then, they would not be able to touch, for the earth would stand between them, and block their view.
The Sun and the Moon were heartbroken, and pleaded with the Creator for mercy, but he would not listen. He banished them to their respective domains, and ordered them to resume their duties. He warned them that if they ever tried to defy him again, he would destroy them and everything they loved. He then turned his back on them, and left them to their fate.
The Sun and the Moon obeyed the Creator, but they never forgot their love. They longed for each other, and dreamed of the day they would be reunited. They watched each other from afar, and sent messages of love through the clouds and the stars. They waited for the rare occasions when they would be in the same sky, and tried to catch a glimpse of each other. They lived for the moments when they would be in an eclipse, and felt a faint connection through the earth. They hoped that one day, the Creator would forgive them, and allow them to be together. They hoped that one day, their love would overcome the curse, and restore the harmony of the universe. They hoped that one day, they would be the Sun and the Moon, and nothing else.
