They had been so at peace a long time ago. So many of the greatest civilizations had come from the sea. This was the time when finned people were not relegated to myth. Not a Golden Age, just an age. People did not fear the deep ocean, they explored it together. There was a confidant of the princess who brought her news one day that the land dwellers wanted to meet her in order to give her a child. The princess was a bit surprised, but she trusted her most senior advisor. Then that day where her fellow adventurer lost his princess happened, and chaos began again.

They had worked for millions of years to build incredible societies, only to have everything robbed, pillaged, and the finned people now had to hide in the depths. Nobody ever thought that the princess would be reborn, that she would come back to unite the societies. She needed her fellow adventurer first though, love wouldn't let her do it alone. What the advisor had set up was out of pure hate. Since she had no child and the princess had a baby with her fellow adventurer, the advisor wanted to rob them of their happiness. The adventurer knew something was wrong that day, but the princess trusted her confidant, she never expected to be harpooned in the heart.

With no princess, the confidant thought she could have the baby. She tried to be with the fellow adventurer as well, but he loved only the princess, no other pair would do. Nobody gave her the child, and she was banished from the land. She could never forgive herself, and so her self-hatred continued for generations. Love is patient, love is kind, love never leaves, but you must first be able to forgive yourself to be able to walk into love.

The ocean world of the finned people grew increasingly darker and deeper. The fellow traveler and the princess, though they had died, love was pure and would allow them to exist together again. What nobody was expecting, especially the princess and her fellow adventurer was that love writes no shitty endings. Journeys may be tough, the lessons may be hard, but love always prevails. Always.

The princess then became the earth, her fellow adventurer became the sun, and they could no longer be separated again. Love would close the chapter on their story, and the two could finally get some peace. They would still have many more adventures and a life full of beauty and wonderful people. The most beautiful thing of all was that for the first time since their matter had decided to exist, they would come together and cease to exist. Their tale would end, and neither of them would have to worry again. They were both light.
