It was a dark period in the history of two ancient kingdoms, one known as the land of the sun and the other like the land of the moon. Separated from a roaring river as old as the land itself, the two kingdoms were engaged in an incessant war of attrition that left them both eager for peace. The king of the land of the sun, seeing the uselessness of a further war, offered a truce, which the king of the land of the moon accepted promptly. Hoping to consolidate this rediscovered peace, the Sun King offered his only daughter, the shining princess of the Kingdom, married to the only son of King Luna, an offer that Prince Luna accepted reluctantly.
