Ang Pagsilang ng Araw at Gabi

Sa malayong nasirang lugar, may nasilang magkapatid, si Dusk at si Dawn. Silang dalawa ay
nakikilala bilang diyos at diyosa ang araw at gabi. May kagagawan sa pagbibigay ng araw sa
kagandahan ng mga nilikha nila Epimetheus at Prometheus, at may kagagawan sa pagtago ng
masasamang nilikha. Bago silang nakikilala bilang si Dusk at Dawn, nilikha muna sila ng mga
diyos at diyosa. Sinabi noon na isang diyos ay may nararamdamang kakulangan sa nilikha ng
magkapatid na si Promitheus at Epimetheus, na magdadag pa nang isa pang element upang
mabigay ng buhay ang kagandahan nito. Dahil dun, nung dyos sinabi niya kay Zeus at ang ibang
diyos at diyos tungkol sa kanyang naramdaman sa nilikha ng magkapatid, si Epimetheus at
Prometheus. Ang mga diyos at diyosa ay sumang-ayon sa sinabi ng dyos, at nagbibigay ng ideya
nang gumawa ng dalawang kalahating diyos para sila’y responsible sa pananagutan ng araw at
gabi. Ang mga diyos at diyosa ay nakibibgay ng kanilang mga kaloob, at binigyan ng pangalan,
Dusk at Dawn. Ang diyosa na si Dawn ay binigyan ng kagandahan, kadalisayan, at iba pa. At si
Dusk naman ay binigyan ng mga kaloobang wala kay Dawn.

Nang nagsimula na sila sa kanilang trabaho, si Dawn ay minamahal ng marami, nang

pumaso ang oras, si Dusk ay nagseselos kay Dawn nang makita niya ang kanyang kapatid
bingyan ng maraming mahal at pansin. Naaabla si Dusk na lubos na nakikita na ang kanyang
kapatid ay nakatanggap ng higit na papuri at pag-ibig mula sa mga tao at ng mga diyos at diyosa,
kaya't siya ay nag-umpisa ng isang plano sa pagkuha ng kapangyarihan ni Dawn. Kinuha nito
ang kaunting pag-aaral at paghanap sa kung paano niya aalisin ang kapangyarihan ng isang tao,
ngunit habang hinahanap niya ito nang mas malalim, natagpuan niya ito. Gumawa siya ng potion
upang mailabas ang lakas ng ilaw mula kay Dawn, ito ang gabi ng pagdiriwang sa araw ni Dusk
at Dawn nang sila ay nilikha. Si Dusk ay naghanda ng kanyang potion, naghihintay para sa
tamang sandali sa pagnanakaw ng kapangyarihan. Ibinuhos niya sa baso ni Dawn, tiningnan niya
si Dusk, ang kanyang kapatid at bulong sa kanyang tainga "Natutuwa ako na mayroon akong
kapatid na katulad mo." Tumahimik ng isang tawa na naririnig niya ang sinabi ni Dawn, "Hindi
ka magiging maligaya sa lalong madaling panahon." Bumalik si Dusk upang kumuha ng isang
tasa ng inumin para inumin ito ni Dawn, ibinigay ni Dusk kay Dawn sa sandaling ihanda niya
ito. Sa sandaling ito si Apollo, ang diyos ng kaalaman ay dumating. Tinanong ni Dusk si Apollo
tungkol sa potion na natuklasan niya, at kung ano ang mangyayari kung ang isang sipsip mula
dito. "Kung ang isang tao ay humihigop mula sa potion, ang taong ipinanganak o bibigyan ng
kapangyarihang iyon ay mawawala ng kapangyariha at mamamatay" Sinabi ni Apollo, sa
sandaling iyon ay natanto ni Dusk na lahat ito ay isang pagkakamali. Nang tumitig siya kay
Dawn, napansin niyang uminom siya mula sa tasa, tumakbo si Dusk kay Dawn at itinapon ang
tasa. Tumingin si Dawn sa Dusk kasama ang iba pang mga diyos at diyosa. "Dusk, bakit mo
ginawa iyon?"
 Tumingin ang lahat sa Dusk nang makita kung paano ang kanyang pagkilos ay tumitingin
sa iba, tinanong muli ni Dawn kung bakit niya ginawa ang ginawa niya at tumingin si Dusk. Ito
ay sa sandaling naintindihan ni Apollo ang sitwasyon. Si Apollo ay lumakad hanggang sa
kambal at tiningnan si Dawn, "Hindi ito kasalanan" Tumingin si Dawn kay Apollo at tinanong
kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito. Pinihit ni Apollo ang kanyang tingin kay Dusk at tumango,
"Sabihin mo sa kanya" sabi niya at ngumiti. Tumango si Dusk habang mukhang lito si Dawn,
tumayo si Dusk at sinabi sa kanya kung ano ang naramdaman niya sa buong araw. Sigaw ni
Dawn habang nakikinig at niyakap siya pagkatapos, "Narito ang naramdaman mo sa ganito? Ang
mga sandali na ikaw ay malamig at walang puso ay dahil doon? Maaaring sinabi mo sa akin,
tutulungan ko kang mapagtanto ito. " Hindi nakuha ng takbo ang ibig sabihin nito, lumakad siya
sa iba pang mga diyos tungkol sa kung ano ang nahanap niya ang pag-aaral ng dalawang
kapangyarihan Araw at Gabi. Nakasaad na ang dalawang kapangyarihan ay nilikha upang
balansehin ang isa't isa, kung ang isang kapangyarihan ay nawawala, ang balanse ng mundo ay
magnanakaw. Ang halaga ng iba ay pareho sa halaga ng kabaligtaran, dahil ang kapangyarihan
ng araw ay sinasabing mas pinapaboran, ang kapangyarihan ng gabi ay sinasabing mas maganda
para sa ito ay nagpapakita ng kagandahan ng hindi nakikita sa araw. Habang bumabangga ang
dalawang kapangyarihan bilang isa, kailangan ng dalawang kapangyarihan ang bawat isa para sa
lahat ng bagay upang mag-ikot. " Sumigaw si Dusk habang binabasa ito, napagtanto niya ang
kanyang pagkakamali at nagalit sa kanyang pagkilos, at gayon pa man pinatawad siya ni Dawn
na ang pag-ibig ng kanyang kambal na kapatid ay mas malakas kaysa sa anumang
kapangyarihan. At iyon ang dahilan kung bakit ang unang ilang mga tao sa iyong buhay ay ang
iyong unang pag-ibig sa iyong puso, kahit gaano pa huli mong mapagtanto ito ngunit ang pag-
ibig at bono ng isang pamilya ay palaging magiging mas malakas kaysa sa anumang
kapangyarihan.

In the ruins of a faraway land dawns the two twins, Dusk and Dawn. Both were known
for being the ones responsible of Day and Night, responsible in giving light that shines through
and see the beauty of Epimetheus and Promitheus’ creations, and responsible for the night that
hides away the terror and horror of the opposites. Before they were known to be Dusk and Dawn,
they were first created by the gods themselves. It was told that one of the gods felt that the
siblings Promitheus and Epimetheus’ works were incomplete and that it needs one more element
to gives its lively beauty. And so that god told Zeus, the god of all gods, about his finding. Zeus
didn’t take it at first but accepted afterwards in seeing that its true, because of the help of other
gods. And so the god who told his finding offered an idea to create two demi-gods in responsible
for day and night. The gods agreed and gave their gifts, and named them Dusk and Dawn. Dawn,
the goddess of Day was gifted with purity, beauty, and such. As for Dusk, the god of Night was
gifted with what Dawn didn’t have. As they started their job, Dawn was more loved by the
people than Dusk was. As time passes, Dusk was jealous seeing how Dawn can get the love and
attention from the people and Dusk doesn’t. It bothered Dusk greatly seeing that his twin
received more praise and love from humans and the gods and goddesses, so he hatched up a plan
in taking Dawn’s power. It took him a bit of studying and finding on how he would take away
one’s power, but as he searches deeper into it, he found it.

He created the potion in order to release the power of light from Dawn, it was the night of
the celebration in Dawn and Dusk’s day when they were created. Dusk had his potion prepared,
waiting for the right moment in stealing the power. He poured into Dawn’s glass, she looked at
Dusk, her twin and whispers at his ear “I’m so happy that I have a twin like you.” Dusk hold
back a laugh hearing what Dawn said, “You won’t be happy soon.” Dusk went back to take a cup
of drink for Dawn to drink, Dusk gave it to Dawn as soon as he prepared it. At the moment
Apollo, the god of knowledge came. Dusk asked Apollo about the potion he discovered, and that
what would happen if one sips from it. “If someone takes a sip from that magic removal potion,
the person born or given with that power will be removed and the host will die” Apollo stated, it
was that moment that Dusk realized it was all a mistake. As he gazed up on Dawn, he noticed
she was going to drink from the cup, Dusk ran up to Dawn and threw the cup away. Dawn
looked at Dusk along with the other gods and goddesses. “Dusk, why did you do that?”

Everyone looked at Dusk seeing how his action took the gaze of others, Dawn asked
again why he did what he did and Dusk looked down. It was at the moment Apollo understood
the situation. Apollo walked up to the twins and looked at Dawn, “It wasn’t his fault” Dawn
looked at Apollo and asked what he meant. Apollo twisted his gaze to Dusk and nodded, “Tell
her” he said and smiled. Dusk nodded as Dawn looked confused, Dusk stood up and told her
how he felt throughout the days. Dawn cried as she listened and hugged him afterwards, “You’ve
felt that way all this time? The moments you were being cold and heartless was because of that?
You could’ve told me, I would’ve helped you realize it.” Dusk didn’t get what she meant, she
walked up to the other gods about what she had found the study of two powers Day and Night. It
is stated that the two powers are created to balance one another, if one power is missing, the
balance of the world will plunder. The worth of other is the same as the worth of opposite, as the
power of day is said to be more favored, the power of night is said to be more beautiful for it
shows the beauty of what cannot be seen in the day. As two powers collide as one, two powers
need each other for everything to cycle through.” Dusk cried as he read it, he realized his mistake
and was resentful of his action, and yet Dawn still forgave him the love of her twin brother is
stronger than any power. And that is why the first few people in your life will be your first love
in your heart, no matter how late you realize it but the love and bond of a family will always be
stronger than any power.
