Chapter Text
in medieval times there was a village in poor class, there lived a young boy with a film physique, his face was like a moon, the other half of his face was black, like darkness, his body was thin, his body was half gray illuminated and the other is a very dark blue that can be confused with black.
He woke up in his bed, first what the young man heard was the songs of the birds.
and the first thing that came to his mind was his older twin, sun, now he works as a jester to amuse the prince, two weeks ago the kings took him away, he does not allow him to leave the castle unless the prince allows it.
the town misses him, sun helped those most in need and they made him laugh so that those people stop being sad for a moment of their lives, he always filled the town with joy, he is a shining sun for the town. but the ones he missed the most were obviously his brothers.
Tomorrow will be Friday, every Friday sun sends him a letter as he has spent the week inside the royal castle, for now what he knows is that the kings are something cold and serious with him, he treats him like another slave in the castle but that the prince is contrary to his parents, he is very kind to him, humble and has fun being with him.
It is common for jesters to be the closest friend of princes. the younger twin sits and grabs the mirror that was next to him, looks at his face, his eyes are the same color as his older twin, light blue, according to his most frequent nocturnal client, they are the same color tone as the sky .
He saw that he had a hickey near his shoulder and neck, he should have told her not to leave a mark on his body, luckily his shirt could hide the hickey and that his older brother would not notice it.
he gets out of bed and goes downstairs. there was a delicious smell in the kitchen, just smelling it made the young man hungry, surely his older brother of all, eclipse, is cooking a treat to sell.
He went to the kitchen.
eclipse had a cake in his hands, he realized that moon was behind him by the steps, "moon, look what time is this to wake up" says the tall one with fourth arms, arms up he was crossed, "what did you have doing all the night?" He asks "nothing, I just had to sew Balfour's hat. It broke when a bird attacked him on the mountain when he was looking for Mr. Emily's daughter" Moon answered.
"A simple hat kept you up all night?" asked eclipse and raising an eyebrow. "It wasn't that, I finished it in 4 minutes, it's just that I wasn't able to sleep all night" Moon lied while he looks for a glass in the sink to drink water.
"And what time is it?" Moon asks still sleepy. "It's 18:20" Moon's eyes widened, her secret job could affect her work during the day "but lucky for you, today I only have one lost, it's a bit far from here" says her older brother as he walks to the window to put down the cake.
He floats his eyes before speaking, "Okay... Where is it?" he mumbled, "in the forest that is full of fantasy tales" upon hearing that, I sleep away "to witch's terrifying forest?" Moon asked scared "Yes, there is a granny who lives there, her granddaughter bought my apple pies for her, she loved it!" Eclipse says happy that a granny has the same favoritism of apple pies as he does.
"I want you to go there today and I don't want to hear a complaint from that lady. I want to make a good impression on her" that made Moon pale "Eclipse, are you aware that that forest at night is dangerous?" claims the little lunar man "are you still afraid that some magical characters that don't exist will attack you?" says the older brother "it's not that, don't forget that there are wild animals and that's what I fear!"
"mmh... good point" breathed the tall one "Too bad the stupid king we have forbade us to sell and use weapons, because otherwise, you'll know how I would kill the king for having taken out our little sunbeam" he says and as he crosses his arms "but he never banned using a gun outside of town, so..." he goes to his room and his younger brother follows him.
he sees how his older brother looks for something in his closet "it's not here, it's not either... Ha Here it is! my dear little brother, I present to you the knife that was passed down from generation to generation in the dropper family, the slay giant!" all that epic presentation about a knife that wouldn't be able to kill a giant "really... the slay giant?" Moon spoke raising his only eyebrow.
"Well.... not literally can kill a giant... But if someone with a soul so giant and rotten that only this knife would be able to destroy it" says eclipse and cracks his fist in the air "according to dad, the knife has a rule, the owner can only be the eldest son, I mean me... when I'm a useless old man, I have to give it to my son, but since I don't have a kid and I don't plan to have one, there isn't a rule that forbids his younger brother can borrow it" they give the knife to moon.
Moon analyzes the knife, it is made of metal, sharp and very well cared for, since this object must be thousands of years old. the metal had something written "the giant kills", moon thought that he had invented that name for his brother.
"but but buuut... I don't want to see the knife broken or that you've lost it! that thing has a lot of value... not for me, for dad this is the only bottle of wine in town, when it's the day of the family, I would not like him to insult me in front of all the relatives, with the traumas I have is enough, so you would do a great favor if they take care of him like gold" says the tall one.
"Okay, I swear I'm going to take care of this knife as if it were gold" says Luna, placing a hand on her chest "Fine...fine, go change, I'm sure the pie must be cold, I hope this time no bum will steal my pie" murmured the tall one.
Moon having the trafficking and the knife at his side, he goes to the path to the terrifying forest, it is 18:30, Moon hopes that he will not get home at night.
