[i]Beyond the far, faraway other side of the heavens, there was someone that loved and was worried for the moon. The name of that Princess was Viena. Her singing voice would cross the heavens, and reach the place where the moon is. However, Princess Viena was suffering. She was suffering because she thought and felt too much about the moon. And because of her excessive suffering, she put a curse in the sky. As if it was for her singing voice to not reach the moon, she covered the sky with clouds, and Princess Viena became unable to look to the sky ever again. She did not have to love and be worried for the moon anymore. She did not have to sing her feelings to it anymore.
It was a land without sky. In a very distant past, the sky of this land was covered by black clouds. The people that lived under it became weak, and their crops also grew badly. They were living under the pressure of the hunger. No one trusted in each other. And they believed that "this land is cursed". Until a certain day, a Hero, to dispel that curse, began to climb a very high, high Tower. The more he went up in the Tower, the darker it became, and the monsters he encountered also became stronger. Through his persistence in defeating them, he finally reached the highest floor in the Tower. However, what he saw in there was not a monster, nor a witch. It was a beautiful princess. The Hero asked the Princess: "Are you the one that turned the sky into darkness?" to which the Princess answered honestly with a nod.
The Hero then asked again: "Why you did this to sky?" The Princess answered: "Because I didn't want to degenerate into a witch, because I will forget how the moon of my hometown was. Because if I cannot see the sky, I will forget the pain that it has brought me." The Hero cried, because he thought that this was something very painful. "That is really what you wish to do?" the Hero asked. "It is futile to talk about it." the Princess declared. But still, the Hero did not leave the place. The Princess began losing her patience. "I want to go beyond that sky. However, that is impossible. No one is able to do that." The Hero denied that: "And I say this, because this Tower is here. If we climb the Tower further up, we will arrive to a place over the clouds." And carrying the Princess on her back, the Hero began climbing the Tower.
One day behind other, the Hero continued climbing the Tower. And even though it looked as if the darkness was not going to clear up at all, he still continued climbing everyday. The Princess asked the Hero: Why do you to take me to the skies, even going as far to do this?" "That is... because I want to see the sun." The Princess did not understand the meaning behind these words, but they worried her a little. And at the same time, but at the same time, for some reason, it made her feel a little disheartened. The Hero continue ascending to the top, and finally, he crossed the dark clouds, and reached the skies.
The sky showed it was night. And the two walked over the starry sky and the full moon that filled the entire firmament. The moon was just before her eyes. The Princess gave her thanks to the Hero: "Thank you, though I had given up about it. But still, why did you lead me here, going as so far to not even think about giving up?" "That was because of the many people that live under this sky, and because, I want to see the sun. That was what filled me with hope." However, the Princess still had a question: "It is because the time for the sun to rise has not come yet." The Hero, as if he had guessed what the Princess was going to say, he told her: "Because, right now, the sun that I was wishing for has appeared in front of my eyes." The Princess first put a face that showed that did not understand at all these words, but once she realized it, she was taken aback, and her face turned red. And at the same time, she understood why she felt disheartened back then. And somehow, she became very embarrassed. And the two of them passed a joyous time, yet short time under the great full moon.
Beyond the far, faraway other side of the heavens, there was someone that loved and was worried for the moon. The name of that Princess was Viena. Her singing voice would cross the heavens, and reach the place where the moon is. Her song nurtured the land, and the crops were abundant and never rot away again. And it is said that the people then lived in an eternal happiness.

This is also a flag in the story.
[i]In a village at the farthest ends of the world, a girl called Yoshibane lived. And in that village, Yoshibane was offered as a tribute to God. She was destined to be sent off to the heavens on her 13th birthday. That was the law of the village, that was an extremely important thing for the prosperity of the village. Thus, Yoshibane always looked forward to that day, and lived all of her days expecting that day to come. She was very happy, because she would be able to meet God once she reached the age of 13.
Yoshibane was always looking forward to the day of her 13th birthday, and during the afternoon when she was 12, she met a boy. A boy that came from outside the village, and he took the girl to many kinds of places, unknown places to her... a dream-like lake, a magnificent mountain, a warm meadow. The girl passed many happy times with the boy. However, after a few days, the girl said: "Once I reach 13 years, I'll be sent off to the heavens". The boy was astonished, but the girl looked so happy about it, and expecting it so much, that, even if he felt sad as he saw the girl like this, he was glad since the girl was sharing her 'happiness' with him.
Both of them spent half a year together after this, playing together, joking together, and sleeping on the meadows. The boy and Yoshibane were unchanging, yet very close friends. However, as the days passed, the number of times in which the girl talked about her 13th birthday festival increased, and that began to cause a little pain on the chest of the boy. And before soon, every time they met, Yoshibane didn't want to talk about anything else that wasn't about the festival and her meeting with God. This made the boy very bitter, and he spoke to her about it without holding anything back. However, that only made the girl angry, and they had their first quarrel, and that quarrel was what tore their relationship apart.
The girl didn't want to meet the boy again, and the boy, sad and confused about this, walked about in search of her. He looked for her every day, and after 48 days, under a moonlit night, he found her on the spring of the waterfall. The girl just told him: "I hate you". For some reason, he couldn't understand anything of the things he heard the girl say. Still, his overflowing tears didn't do anything more than moistening the already wet spring. The boy embraced Yoshibane, but at the same time, Yoshibane faced the boy, and screamed to him: "Enough already, this is the end! You will never bring the true happiness to me...!" The expression of the boy faded away. At the moment, he didn't understand the meanings behind these words. "If everything was just a false happiness, I was glad with it, but going to God's side, is something I didn't want to dwell in as being the supreme happiness. I always looked forward to, and expected the day of my 13th birthday festival. And that's because, if I don't do it, I won't be able to stand it. If I don't do it, I will only continue lamenting it in this world, forever. Yes, that's it... there's no one that doesn't fear death, there's no one that doesn't suffer with death. So, I simply didn't want to know it".
"I didn't want to know... what...the true happiness is..."
