When the Moon shines brightly in the sky and envelops the Earth in its silver glow, on the feast day of the goddess Selene, "I" emerge from the darkness, created from human dreams and desires, to tell you the story of an unhappy love.
This happened long ago, when the light of the Sun still reigned on this planet, and people and animals were not afraid to leave their homes. There lived a girl with hot cheeks, golden hair as lustrous as dew-covered grain, and lips that sang merrily. She was like a deer, agile and graceful, with a name sweeter than anything else. She loved life and freedom. With her joy, she made the world beautiful. Yet, sadness and suffering grew in her heart. She harbored a secret she could not reveal to anyone, for it would cost her her life. So she lived with her, surrounded by loved ones, knowing she could not fall in love. It was a punishment committed by her ancestors. But as everyone knows, fate is as inexorable as the heart. So one summer day, on an avenue among the ginkgo trees, she met Him. A man she had never dreamed of, nor had ever dreamed of. His stance was like that of a proud oak, and his eyes made a man drawn by their color see his true form within them. Love suddenly took possession of their bodies, though for the first few seconds they didn't know what was happening to them. Only when they looked deep into each other did they understand. They spent their days getting to know each other. Her heart was filled with happiness, though she sensed they were not destined to enjoy each other for long. She knew she would not escape punishment, and the gods would send death upon Him. Therefore, she decided to confess her secret to Him, for she loved his life more than her own. She told him about the heavenly sphere of life.
"Once, the gods were mortal just like humans. However, one day, an unknown man took their souls and sealed them in the heavenly orb of life. From then on, they became immortal. They knew, however, that anyone who learned their secret was a threat to them, for knowing about the orb could control their power. Therefore, they cast a curse to envelop the orb. However, it did not work completely. It made the person possessing their secret invulnerable to them. But this spell also has a downside. If he reveals this secret to anyone else... he will die."
At that moment, her previously burning cheeks began to fade. Dusk darkened her bright pupils, and her breath caught in her throat. She collapsed. He ran to her, taking her in his arms, and with tears in his eyes, said:
"Will we ever meet again? You and I, who share my feelings. You, who truly understand me..."
Tears prevented him from speaking. He hugged her tighter to his heart and kissed her passionately. Then, with a final whisper, she whispered in his ear:
"It's always the case that with the end of something, new hope is born. Don't lose it."
With these words, the church bells rang, and then she was gone. She disappeared in his arms, enveloped in the white glow of the moon, taking with her the last golden kiss of her beloved.
This is the end of a sad yet true story of true love. The gods are often unjust. Now I disappear with the last note of memories of times gone by, only to reappear a year later to tell another story that will open hearts and reveal a new, different world.
