In the days when the city of Prontera was younger than it was today, there was once a wizard who created its guardians.
He created these guardians out of two things, a statue with a magical stone heart, and a painting made with magic. He infused one with the power of the moon, the other with the sun.
The guardian made from the magical statue can only awaken at night, for in the day, he becomes the blazing sun over Prontera’s skies, his body turning to stone as dawn breaks.
Meanwhile, the guardian made from the magical painting can only awaken in the day, for at night, she becomes the illuminating moon over Prontera’s skies, the very essence of her being returning to the painting as twilight comes.
The two defended the city with all their might-- banishing the darkness that threatened to befall the kingdom.
With each fight, they grew to admire each other’s strength. With each fight, they grew to admire each other’s devotion. With each fight, they slowly fell in love.
The greatest of evils had arisen from the fallen kingdom of Glast Heim. The Dark Lord and his minions had attempted an attack-- and both sacrificed themselves to banish the fiend.
The wizard, their creator, bestowed upon them a second life. However, his power is limited. Now that the battle is won, he gave both the gift of being mortal-- but it came with a price.
Neither can remember each other, nor their memories of the past. Two linked souls, unaware of each other’s existence.
And yet love is more powerful than any magic.
In dreams, they see each other, a life they know they never lived. And slowly, as Skuld would have it, fate brought them together.
The two sought out their creator and found out that it had been nearly a century since, with his power diminishing as he kept the magic to keep both alive going.
The guardians made a choice: they asked to be restored and forevermore become the guardians of Prontera, even if it meant they would have borrowed time together-- for it was in protecting Prontera that the two fell in love.
With the blessing of the sun and the moon, they returned to their true forms.
And thus, young Novice, if you look over that hill, past Prontera’s gates, you can sometimes see a woman standing guard beside a statue in the day, and a man in vigil in front of a painting at night.
And, if the Goddess of Fortune smiles upon you-- you can see them hold each other close at sunset, just as night falls, and at dawn, just as the sun rises.
