The story of the moon and the sun guardian

Long ago, there were two guardians, a moon guardian and a sun guardian.
One day, they met at a changing post and instantly fell in love.

Each time they met, they spoke, laughed, and shared secrets under the shifting skies.
Their love grew stronger, and they longed to be together always,
To share each other's joy, pain, and happiness.
Defying the ancient rules, they crossed the forbidden wall,
Causing an eclipse—the strongest and longest one ever seen.

But in their union, tragedy struck:
One guardian lost the sight in an eye, blinded by too much light.
From that day, the Sun’s guardian decreed
That they could never meet again.
With heavy hearts, the Moon’s guardian agreed

You may ask, "But what happened with the two guardians?"
... well, they had to say goodbye.
