The sun god, Sol, was a lonely spirit. Everyday was the same for him. He’d raise the sun to the sky and made sure it set at night so the the moon goddess, Luna, could do the same with the moon. But after eons of doing the same thing, he grew restless. Earth was a beautiful planet with thousands of unique creatures. He could watch any animal anywhere under the rule of his sun, but it was always the same thing.

 

The animals only occupied themselves with one thing. Eat or be eaten. They only cared about their survival on the planet. Not once did they look up at the celestial sky and wonder what put it there or who put the rain in the clouds. The lacked curiosity and nothing ever changed because of that.

 

So one day, Sol got cleaver. He took star dust and clouds and molded them into the shape of the very first human. He put in the human a large amount of curiosity, ingenuity, and a sense of kinship for it’s own kind to not let the eat or be eaten mentality of earth taint his beautiful creation.

 

Sol was so busy perfecting his new creature that he did not notice Luna watching him. 

 

Luna was more of a free spirit than Sol. She did not care if the moon rose and set at the same time. She would often change the schedule for the moon and make it rise early so she could be in the sky at the same time as Sol. And if she was feeling particularly mischievous that day, Luna would sometimes make the moon pass below the sun and eclipse it in the sky. Sol cared deeply for the moon spirit as she was his best friend, but he also knew how she easily got carried away. 

 

He wanted to keep his humans a secret from her so she didn’t try to make her own. She would probably figure out how to improve their design and make her own humans that were more advanced than his own.

 

But he didn’t know that Luna already knew about his creation and was already inspired to make her own. Instead of using clouds, she took some of the earth’s dirt to mold the base of her humans. Then she gave them the strength and speed of a wolf.

 

Her final gift to her humans was their own unique star for their heart. Each one of her humans could summon their star’s power and do something amazing that no one else could do. Some could heal others and others had even more strength or even the ability to charm others.

 

For a while, nothing happened. 

 

Both Sol and Luna were too occupied with their own humans to take much notice in the other. 

 

But when their humans began to meet with each other, Sol realized what Luna had down.

 

He was furious.

 

Not only were her humans tougher and more stable, but she didn’t even try to deny that she stole his design. Luna brushed off his anger and tried to tell him he was upset for no reason.

 

Sol lashed out at her creations and they took the blow meant to harm her.

 

Luna’s humans were cursed to submit to the wolf traits given to them ever full moon so Luna could see her precious creations suffer in the bright light of her moon. They were forced to turn into vicious, blood thirsty wolves.

 

In the months passing, Luna’s heart broke more and more as she watched her precious humans loose all hope with every full moon. Unable to stand their pain anymore, Luna sacrificed her hair and with the severe locks she spun them into string and tucked it behind her human’s ears.

 

Now, they would have sweet dreams at night of their other half. While it wasn’t much, t was all she could do to make them happy. Wether it be a romantic or platonic relationship, she could at least give them hints about their future mate.

 

As Luna’s humans evolved, they became more and more like wolves. They gained the ability to shift between a human and a wolf form even outside of the full moon. Their wolfish nature showed even in how they socialized with each other. They gained the name “werewolf” from Sol’s humans and have been called such ever since.
