    The warm sun is your destiny, for you were born of the sun gods. Darkness has never touched you. Your parents protected you devotedly, fostering your innocent and kind nature, leading you to believe the universe is always peaceful and simple.

    As you grew older, you became the ruler of the sunlit heavens, joining the most important deities, your prominence undeniable.

    Your friendliness and warmth draw everyone to you, except the ruler of the night. His nights are peaceful and beautiful, his allure surpassing the brightest stars and the moon itself. Many goddesses are enchanted by him, despite his ancient nature.

    Yet, he disdains you, finding you naive and childish, unfit to rule such a powerful realm. Your attempts at conversation are met with cold indifference, leaving you puzzled by his emotionless composure.


    Another tedious meeting of the gods began. You understand its importance, but typically, these gatherings involve recounting events from each deity’s realm, and truth be told, nothing momentous ever transpires. You find yourself daydreaming, your gaze wandering as a sigh escapes your lips, until your attention lands on Khonsu, the moon god.

    He is effortlessly handsome, always silent, speaking only when absolutely necessary. Minutes pass, and you suddenly snap back to reality, realizing you had been daydreaming while staring at him. Panic seizes you—did he notice?

    After an hour, it’s time for a break. You usually stroll through the beautiful gardens of the gods’ palace, but you come to a sudden halt, seeing Khonsu gazing up at the sun. Is he enjoying its warmth? The sight leaves you breathless. The way the dark diamonds of the night glisten under the sun makes you forget everything, until you snap out of it.

    “You’re staring again... you know it’s inappropriate.”

    His deep, smooth voice cuts through your reverie.
