A fairy tale

Part 1

…………….

………Then time passed and they lived a whole life without meeting again.

 The goddess of the sea and the god of the lake.

However, twenty years later one night, the god of the lake heard some music and sadness came all over him.

It was a night with a full moon, when he and his men usually came up from the depths of the lake and went to the woods. To the woods, to run and dance.

 This time, however, he didn’t feel like going up, so he didn’t follow his men but stayed there at the depths of the lake, alone.

It was then that she came to his mind! 

He felt he would like to see her again.

 Then he doubted, but quick as he was, he made up his mind to try to meet her. 

So one night when there was no moon in the sky, he sent his message with the brightest star!

That night the light of the star glared so intensely on the surface of the sea, down there to the south that she woke up!

She hadn’t been out of the sea for ten years!

For ten whole years she stayed in the darkness, at the depths of the sea and it was only her girls who went up, to their beach to run and dance and laugh, every full moon!

But that autumnal star light was so bright that guided her to the surface of the water.

It was so powerful that almost blew her to the beach, where, at first, she stood petrified.

Soon, she calmed down by the beauty of the night star and slowly started a divine song!

Such beautiful singing, that the star took it to the skies.

 All over to the north!

When he heard the singing voice, he knew he really wanted to see her after all these years. 

So riding the light of the star, he reached her beach!

They met, again. After all these years!

They were together!

Three full moons, three meetings! 

They looked at each other and every sound vanished.

Every picture vanished.

 Just them two.

 United in the moonlight.

During their third meeting they both cried. They didn’t know why.

“It was always like this with us”, she said.

“I love you”, he said.

“I love you”, she said.

And they both went back to the depths of their waters.

Some days passed and they sent no messages to each other.

Silence. Dead silence.

No star, no light.

A desperate expectation.

A nothing.

This was the other side of their relationship.

Then images appeared:

An apricot tree with pebbles in a circle on the ground, around its trunk!

An old apple tree, which bloomed late but its apples were small and bitter!

A sea sunset through a ruined shelter!

A wooden northern house in the woods with small patches of gardens, with stones beautifully set and a sign saying, “Things are like this now, but we don’t know what will happen in the future”!!!
