Introduction to Sleep
Story: The King of Heaven, the King of Earth and the Daughter of the Moon 2



With a fiery spirit the Earth Kingdom army began to exert all the strength that had been carefully prepared. The army was led directly by the Earth Kingdom Emperor. Originally those attacks could be held back by the Sky Kingdom army. Due to the Earth Kingdom's large army and complete war equipment, the Sky Kingdom's soldiers could be subdued. They stormed into the palace. Once you know the Princess is gone, anger the Earth King. Palace destroyed. All families are wiped out. Likewise with the Heavenly Emperor and the Empress. 


The cruelty of the Earth Kingdom army did not get there. The existing building was destroyed. None are left. No one can survive their invasion. The Skies crumbled without rest. 


The princess who heard her kingdom was destroyed cried sadly, especially when she found out her father, mother, and the entire population were killed. His sadness is incredible. It felt like he was avenging the death of his beloved father, but what power he was just a woman and had no power whatsoever. 


Since then the Princess turned into a beggar. Every day he daydreamed and locked himself in his room while opening the window door. He was sad to see the destruction of his kingdom. Every day he looked at the Earth from a distance. The nanny host tried to comfort the Princess in various ways. But in vain. The princess always remembered her family. He wanted to return to Heaven just to let go of the longing for his lost family and kingdom. His consolation now was simply staring at the Earth Kingdom that had destroyed his father's palace. 


Once he saw a flower in the distance. The flower looks very beautiful, sparkling islands in the light. The Princess was eager to have the flower on Earth, but she was afraid that the Earth Kingdom Emperor would know of its existence and quickly kidnap her. 


His desire was more and more to have the flower. One time he asked the host for permission to come down to Earth and take the flowers and hasten back to the Moon. 


“Don't come down to Earth, Princess. What will happen if the evil king finds out about the princess? They will not let the Princess come back here again,” said the host babysitter advised. 


“But I want that flower, Bi.” 


“Aunti knows the wishes of the Princess. But it would be nice if the flower was allowed to grow there and we can see it every day from here. What looks beautiful is not always the same when we touch it.” 


“What if for example it was just a trick from the Emperor of the Earth Kingdom to invite the Princess out of hiding? One more thing, we will not be able to return to this Moon if we have been tracking feet on Earth, a place where a lot of blood is shed. Remember that, Princess. You will no longer be able to come here.” 


But the Princess seemed to be adamant about her stance and was unconcerned about the nanny's host's advice. His desire to pluck flowers that look beautiful is becoming more and more. One day, unbeknownst to the caretaker host, the Princess came down to Earth to pick up the flower. 


But how surprised he was to know there were no flowers there. The beautiful, blooming petals visible from afar were nothing but scattered molasses. Suddenly the princess felt she had entered into the Earth Emperor's trap. He was terrified and wanted to return to his palace on the Moon. 


Many times he tried to fly. But his body did not go up as well. He can't control at all. He remembered the nurse's advice that he would no longer be able to ascend to the Moon if he had set foot on Earth. 


The princess is very sad. Cry out loud to him. He was very afraid, because at any time people would see him and hand him over to the Emperor of the Earth Kingdom. 


The Princess then climbed up a tree, hoping from there she would be able to fly back to the Moon. But, baby, the effort never worked. Every time he tried, every time he fell. With growing sadness and great fear he kept trying and always failing. 


As it dissolved with overwhelming sadness and regret, the longer its body grew smaller. He did not realize that his body was beginning to grow wings. Long enough to become a bird. 


So every full moon arrives he will always sound while trying to fly from one branch to another. He always remembered his beautiful palace on the Moon. Likewise with the caretaker host, he always sits under a giant banyan tree while waiting for the arrival of the Princess. Every full moon will be visible from Earth.
