Two moons
"Two heavenly sisters"-by Valincius Demorris
Every seen the two moons in our sky. The big grey looking one is called Claudina and on other nights you can see her sister Enya. The small red one. Many years ago, before the risen war, here in Vostoria took place. This place was called --(BOOs from the audience.) I know I know. You see my friends, there were two Keltori girls. Their lives were normal back than for slaves. but as the youngest was getting closer 16 years of age. the Shilen elves wanted to give her the test. They brought her to the room where other Selynar empire loving mages were. They found her to be worthy of study over at the tower. they told Enya she was to be congratulated for be talented in magic. this will bring your family up to second class citizenship and no longer slaves to the empire. Enya knew what this meant for her. She will never again see her family. She went to her family who was already being told by another Shilen elf that they will be moving up. Claudina wanted to know if she will see her sister again. they of course would not answer her, being still a child of course. Claudina needed to hear from her little sister what was going on. Enya told her as she was told she can pack one bag. tears rolling down her face, as anger build up in Claudina gut. Took her sister and ran. they ran and ran. Weeks turned into months. (Cheers from audience.)
For months the lost girls, stayed out of sight of every elf. Claudina say what those elves saw in Enya. Magical things happened around her little sister. there was nothing she could do to help her little sister. So, in the wood they found a cabin and in that cabin was a walking stick, Enya took the walking stick as her staff. which seemed to help her manage her magic. Claudina kept and eye on the path that led up to the old cabin. they stayed there taking care of each other for about two weeks. Until that faithful night... (gasp from the audience) Shilen patrols looking for the found the cabin and them. Claudina killed three elves, the survivor ran, and they called for reinforcements. Claudina picked up a shield ran inside, turn to face the door shield ready, Enya who was casting a protection spell she made up. The cabin was surrounded. Claudina told her sister." I will not let them take you away!" The elves started breaking down the door. Enya full of emotions and love, tears on her face. Released all her emotions and power in her spell. A blinding light covered the entire cabin... A hole in the ground, trees bent and broke, No elves for miles, no weapons or cage. Just a hole where the cabin once stood. The light fades and two girls' glow. The old gods stand before them, they were so moved by their love for each other that they send them to the night sky. Naming the moons after them. So, I tell you friends, when the moons shine, and you are out in those woods below the black mountains you will see two girls playing and laughing together.
