When the Moon Touched the Sun #16



“Please, let me help.” The universe said, a distinct note of pain lacing his voice.

“Haven’t you done enough damage.” The Sun’s voice and eyes were dead, the only pain that remained was in the tightness of his jaws as he fought to remain in control.

The universe stood, unsure of whether he wanted the Moon to die or live. So he remained standing in the same spot, watching the Sun cry of his weak Moon.

“I will make you BURN for this!” the Sun bellowed at the universe, all control hopelessly lost.

The Sun had come so close to being with the one he loved, he had touched her, kissed her, seen her smile. The fire of grief roared within him, fueled by his monumental loss. The universe, for the first time, felt the prickle of fear creep in to his heart, an unfamiliar sensation the almost sent him fleeing in a blind panic. The universe stood, but the Sun advanced, uncaring that his opponent was larger and stronger than he could ever hope to be, the fire within him licked at the ground beneath his feet, scorching the Earth.

The quiet moans of a dying Moon fell on deaf ears, the Sun too consumed to notice anything but the fire, the devastating fire.

He stopped within a few feet of the universe and let forth a flare of heat. It burst from him in an uncontrolled wave, eating up the miles of life that stood in its path.
