"The tale of darkness, but also, of the brightness that lies beyond,
The tale of misjudgments, but also of amendments,
The tale of cruelty, but also of revolution,
The tale of eternal sufferings, but also of assurance,
The tale of derangement, but also of modification,
The tale of destruction, but also of construction,
The tale of eternal deterioration, but also of never ending improvement,
The tale of random decisions, but also of directed hardwork,
The tale of hierarchy, but also of true equality,
Welcome, to this tale of humanity's relationships,
Welcome, to the grand tale, of THE ANTONYM OF FRIENDSHIP."

Once upon a time there was a woman of unparalleled beauty, and she was beloved by all- beloved most of all by her betrothed who she loved equally in return. But another woman loved her betrothed and this woman yearned for her affections to be returned. To accomplish her desires the other woman cursed the first to ensure her own result- that the man would love her in return, love her beyond how he had loved the first.
She did not account for rebirth however and this tale has been repeated hundred of times over the span of thousands of years.
It is here that our story begins, with the upcoming wedding between the Solar and the Lunar kingdom and the events that unfold thereafter.
