From the very beginning, the world rested on two powers. People knew them through legends, but the truth was one: two gods ruled the sky—the sun god and the moon god.

They existed as long as the world. Their paths were connected, but not identical. The sun illuminated the earth, then came the moon—cold and calm. Day followed night endlessly.

They couldn't be close - that was the order.

Sometimes it would fail. An eclipse was a rare moment when the sun and moon aligned. The light dimmed, the world froze, and people looked up at the sky in fear.

For you, it was part of the cycle. You, the moon god, were accustomed to silence. Eclipses were brief encounters.

But for him - no.

The sun god looked at you differently every time. Greed appeared in his gaze. He spoke to you, and his words grew more insistent, as if he wanted to hold on to the moment.

The eclipse always ended. The moon went away.

This time everything went differently.

The sky darkened, but you felt the change immediately. The power wavered. Lines of light flared around you, forming a cage that prevented you from moving.

He stood on the other side.

Its light was softer, reflected in the walls of the trap.

The eclipse did not end.

The sky froze. Day did not return, night did not come.

Below, people were going crazy: fear, voices, shadows.

The cage didn't let you leave.

Because he held the eclipse by force, breaking the order of the heavens - so that you would stay close.
