Event 1 Event 2 Event 3 Event 4 Event 5 Event 6

In one of her short travels outside the kingdom, she met Mar,
the son of the sea god, and they fell in love after their secret
meetings.
Luna fought with her father and decided to run away with
Mar who was able to escape his father’s punishment.
Longing for Mar, Luna goes out to the sea in hopes to see
Mar. Mar sees Luna’s reflection and he struggles to escape,
causing troubles to the water.
Since then, whenever the moon is full, the sea gets troubled
and causes the high tide.
The sun god was furious and he informed the sea god about
Luna and Mar’s disobedience. The two are punished and they
never get to see each other again.
There was a beautiful moon goddess named Luna, the
daughter of the sun god who loves going around in her golden
chariot.
Mar, after his attempts, escaped from the sea cave and Luna
was very happy to finally see him again.
One of Luna’s jealous cousins told the sun god about her
secret affair with Mar.
