Roman walked out into the moonlight. The white of his suite seemed to glow in the light of the moon. He looked at the man shaped figure on the moon.

"Fate has been cruel and order unkind. How can I have sent you away?" Roman sang quietly. He missed his younger brother. "The blame was my own, the punishment yours. The Harmony's silent today..."

He used magic to make his hand glow, as to have a source of light besides the moon. "But into the stillness I'll send you a song and I will your company keep. 'Til your tired eyes and my lullabies have carried you softly to sleep.."

He couldn't help but look on past memories, ones of when they were little kids. "Once did a prince who shone like the sun, look out on his kingdom with pride. He smiled and said "surely there is nobody so valiant and so well admired as I"..."

Young Prince Roman laughed as the people praised him. He stood on the balcony and waved to the people below. His younger brother, Virgil, watched from the door way before going to his room.

Roman sighed and looked at his hands. Tears already in his eyes. "So great was his reign and so brilliant his glory that long was the shadow he cast. Which fell dark upon the young brother he loved and grew only darker as days and nights passed..."

The young Prince didn't notice his brother's avoidance and change of behavior. He was too caught up in pride and joy.

Roman looked up at the moon and smiled a little. "Sleep prince of darkness. Goodnight brother mine, and rest now in moonlight's embrace. Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth through cloud and through sky and through space! Carry the peace and the coolness of night and carry my sorrow in kind!""

Roman reached up as if to comfort the prince on the moon. "Virgil, you're loved so much more than you know. Forgive me for being so blind.."

He sighed and remembered the first time he spotted the odd behavior change. "Soon did that prince take notice that others did not give his brother his due and neither had he lived him as he deserved. But stood by as his brother's jealousy grew.. "

Young Prince Roman knocked on his younger brother's bedroom door and opened it. He saw his brother curled in a ball crying. He went to home comfort Virgil but the dark Prince yelled at him and forced him out of his room.
The young Prince of light reluctantly left his brother alone.

"But such is the way of the limelight. It sweetly takes hold of the mind of its host and that foolish prince did nothing to stop the destruction of one who had needed him most."

The young prince of darkness gave up the fight and let the evil take over his body. He felt like he had nothing left to fight for and stopped fighting. The new evil Virgil laughed as he set out to make eternal night.

Roman choked back a sob and knelt in front of the rose bush he was growing as a memory of Virgil. The dark purple roses reminded Roman of his brother. "Sleep prince of darkness. Goodnight brother mine, and rest now in moonlight's embrace. Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth through cloud and through sky and through space. Carry the peace and the coolness of night."

Roman and Evil Virgil began fighting. Roman using light while Evil Virgil used darkness. Both of them had tears streaming down their faces while they shot magic at each other.
Evil Virgil had almost hit Roman but the Prince of light was stronger and sent the magic back into Evil Virgil.

Roman looked at the moon again. The tears pouring down his cheeks. "Virgil, you're loved so much more than you know. May troubles be far from your mind. And forgive me for being so blind..."

The battle continued until Evil Virgil had landed a hit on Roman and sent the Prince into a building in the woods. An element landed near the Prince.
Evil Virgil went after him but before he could use magic, Roman had used the element and sent the young Prince of darkness to the imprisonment on the moon.

Roman cried softly. He missed his brother and wanted him back. He blamed himself for not noticing. "The years now before us, fearful and unknown. I'd never imagined I'd face them on my own. May these thousand winters, swiftly pass I pray...

The young Prince cried as he looked up at the moon. He clutched his bleeding side and stood up on shaky legs. He began to make his way back to the palace.
He hated himself for hurting his brother but there was nothing that he could do about it now.

"I love you, I miss you all these miles away.. May all your dreams be calm tonight there upon your throne of moonlight. Known not of sorrow, pajn, or care and when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there!" Roman stood up shakily and let his magic light disappear. He stood in the darkness, the moonlight as his only night source.

He went to his brother's room and sat on Virgil's empty bed. He saw the cat doll that he gave his brother and hugged it. His tears soaked the toy but he didn't care. He wanted his brother back.
The young prince laid on the bed and stared out the window at the moon.

"Sleep..." Roman began his walk back to the castle entrance. "Sleep..." He stopped in the doorway and looked back at the moon one final time. "Sleep.." He went in and shut the door.
