Two pillars of swords

✦ Origins

Born from the first remnants of the shadows that appeared when the sun and moon first shone. He is no ordinary being—he is the pure opposite of the two swords: a place where light cannot touch, where truth can never grow.

For thousands of years, he hid in the gap between day and night, in a place untouched by the sun or moon, slowly gathering power. He wasn't just an evil person—he was an existence that hated all things shining, that hated hope, togetherness, and kindness.

✦ Traits & Personality

• Cold, empty, remorseless — no feelings, no remorse, no love
• Cunning & manipulative: takes advantage of other people's doubts, sadness and loneliness
• Divide to rule: spreading lies to make friends suspicious of each other, to break loyalties
• Hates togetherness: for him, emotional bonds & friendships are weaknesses that must be destroyed.
• Calm & ruthless — no screaming, no tantrums; he just erases, slowly, until nothing remains.

✦ Strength & Power

• Devouring light: can dim the moonlight, extinguish the sun's flame — the more despair around him, the stronger he is.
• Making shadows real: transforming hidden fears into dark creatures that obey him
• Spreading doubt: soft whispers in the ear — "They will leave you", "You are alone", "No one cares" — weaken the bond between the owners of the two swords
• Cannot be killed by ordinary force: the wounds he inflicts do not heal easily; his dark traces remain as long as hope begins to fade
• Its true form: not a terrifying giant, but rather a void — a place where light dies before it can touch it.

✦ Dark Purpose

Removing the two pillars of the world: Loyalty & Truth.

• Separating the owners of the Moon Sword from the Sun Sword — making them believe each other has betrayed them
• Make people forget how to hope, so the world becomes a gray, silent place.

✦ Origins

Born from the essence of the sun's light that descended upon the earth at the first dawn of the world. Not forged, but formed from the pure flame of life—not a fire that destroys, but one that revives. He is a spirit of courage that takes the form of a sword, born in tandem with the Moon Sword: day and night, inseparable.

✦ Personality

• Firm, bold, straightforward — hiding nothing behind the shadows
• Passionate, fiery, inspiring — lifts the spirits of anyone who is beside him
• Impatient with falsehood; direct, open, sometimes harsh
• Reject cowardice and injustice — don't let fear rule your steps
• Burn the lies, but protect the sincere

✦ Source of Strength

Not from the desire for power — from:

• Honesty without denial → the more sincere & courageous, the more blazing
• Determination → unwavering even when alone
• Sunlight → peak power during bright daylight; never goes out as long as the sun shines
• Weakened if used to oppress or hide the truth

✦ Two Core Pillars

1. Courage that Never Gives Up
   — Moving forward even when no one is following. Not afraid to face the darkness. Not retreating even when outnumbered. Not fearless—still afraid, but still moving forward. Rising every time you fall.
2. The Unconcealable Truth
   — Revealing all falsehoods. Not siding with anyone hiding behind a disguise. Upholding the truth even if it hurts oneself. Not allowing evil to hide in the shadows.

The two are inseparable: Courage without truth = violence. Truth without courage = powerlessness. The Sun Sword stands tall, guarding both.

✦ Distinctive Characteristics

• Burning bright, warm, burning lies & darkness
• Harm no innocent — its fire distinguishes between evil enemies and those who are simply lost.
• It becomes stronger when the owner fights for others, not for himself.

✦ Origins

Not forged from ordinary fire and steel. Born from the fall of a fragment of the full moon's core light into a valley never touched by the blazing sun. The light solidified into a blade, taking on life and growing into one with the still yet steadfast essence of the night. It was not made by human hands—it was the soul of light that took the form of a sword.

✦ Personality

• Gentle, calm, loyal listener — does not judge the owner's doubts or sorrows
• Not bloodthirsty; every wound he gave, he felt it too
• Refused to be used for evil or power: becomes heavy/blunt if the owner's intentions are wrong
• Not looking for the strongest owner — looking for a sincere heart

✦ Source of Strength

Not from anger or the desire to conquer — but from:

• The sincerity of the owner's heart → the more sincere, the brighter & sharper
• Inner bond → grows stronger along with mutual loyalty
• Moonlight → peak power during the full moon; never completely extinguishes as long as the moon is still there.
• Cannot be used carelessly — if held by the wrong person, it loses all its power.

✦ Two Core Pillars

1. Unwavering Loyalty
   — Stays when everyone else leaves. Not blind: continues to remind and reprimand the owner if he gets lost, but doesn't get lost with him. Accepts shortcomings, accompanies change, and doesn't move on to a stronger owner.
2. Impartial Justice
   — Do not side with friends or relatives if they are wrong. Even reprimanding someone you love is painful. Giving opportunities to change, but not allowing crimes to continue to occur. Protecting the weak without asking who they are.

The two are inseparable: Loyalty without justice = righting wrongs. Justice without loyalty = coldness without compassion. The Moon Sword stands upright because it guards both at once.

✦ Distinctive Characteristics

• Shines softly when held with a sincere heart; becomes dim/heavy if the intention is wrong
• Does not kill without reason — prefers to stop rather than kill
