Sunne and Mona

Solar Eclipse

The Sun Made The Moon

Soon Mona realized that the sun had not yet risen and Sunne was in a panic; he didn't want to leave Mona, but he didn’t want to lie, so he told Mona the truth. Of course Mona didn’t believe him because how could she be talking to the sun? So Mona asked Sunne to prove it, and he did. Sunne did not return, so the sun did not rise. He explained to Mona that it was lonely up in the sky, so he’d come down only at night, and it was not until Sunne met Mona that he felt whole. Mona asked Sunne if there was any way she could join him in the sky, and Sunne said there could not be another sun; however, there was no one to brighten the night. By using his powers, Sunne would be able to create what he would call the moon, a round porcelain celestial body that would be Mona’s shape. By doing this, he'd never be able to return to his mortal form, but this was a sacrifice he was willing to make to have her closer. Mona wanted to leave her own body if it meant adding some light to the night, though she didn't think she could be bright enough, so Sunne said he’d help her shine. To mimic the strand of hairs that covered Mona’s face, Sunne shined his light upon her in phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. Sunne wanted people to appreciate Mona’s beauty when she was at her whole. Sunne made Mona in control of the tides and made sure that they eventually met face-to-face to create an eclipse.
