As The Chaos that existed in between the First World and This World whirled about him,
Moon, wracked with guilt at what he done and not understanding at all why or how it had
happened, soon began to go mad.
And then, after he had seen Mother turn to earth and scatter herself, Moon knew his place
was not in this new world. So as The Chaos continued, Moon, just as Mother had, saw
what must do. His final act in This World was to help bring balance to it by becoming one
with the a nearby mountain and withdrawing from it forever.
Now Moon sits staring at his sweet love and he moves the sea water to try and gently
caress her extremities twice a day as he once did to her whole body with his own fingers.
But, knowing little about her new form, he barely touches Mother Earth: only doing so
along the banks of tidal rivers, an action Mother takes for the unwanted attentions of her
cousin, the Sea Hydros, anyway.
Shrouded both in light and darkness Moon still flits between moods that help alter the
course of events taking place on the front of his former lover. When his rage is at its fullest
and most blind he brings werewolves to stalk and curse his children. When his love is at
the same peak he transfers it to the ground in the form of Cupid’s arrows.
But mostly he hides on his dark side and looks back at the mistakes he made in the Old
World while still in his old form. Ignorant of the poisons he took, Moon ruminates as to
how, fermenting his regret like the madmen who stare at him and the dogs who howl at
him. And Moon curls into a ball deep inside himself to try and forget the woman he lost
and who he watches at night as she stares back, each blind to the other’s attentions.
And he plays in his head those final scenes in the First World, when the last angry words
were spoken, those words of awful power that came before the final separation from
Mother.
And he hopes for the day when he and Mother might be joined anew, destroying the world
of their children so that they can start again.
