Chapter 1: My dear, I think you've found your calling. This fantasy piece is so nicely done!
I really loved the history and myth and danger and emotion you wove into this oneshot. The characterization was a surprise as I certainly didn't expect the childhood roles, but they were well done and I really thought you pulled it off well. The innocence of childhood balanced with such power and responsibility: it really struck a chord in me.
I'll admit that I am curious as to the reasons you chose and did certain things: the ages, the spirits themselves, how they're chosen, how long they'll keep Sol and Luna within them. But while it is my own curiousity to know these things, they aren't necessary for this story. I really loved that you focused so firmly on the festival itself, the reasons behind it being clear and beautiful, and the culmination being a touching and emotional moment. My heart aches for Yoongi's turmoil at the end there but it is the price he has to pay, and that he does so with such willingness and hope at such a young age really is a fantastic insight into his character.
This is a story that really COULD be expanded into something more, and yet it really doesn't have to be at all. It stands by itself strong and well composed, and I found myself truly fulfilled in reading this.

Chapter 1: Very interesting story! I loved the story within the story too, regarding Sol and Luna in particular. Did you create the myth yourself or find it from somewhere? I also really enjoyed seeing who each member would be here. I could definitely see Seokjin being a caretaker like that indeed. And I'll admit I was held in suspense throughout the story with the threat of what happened last time hanging over everything. Didn't know which way you would take it. haha

I was fascinated by the idea of Yoongi not being able to walk on the earth. Any particular reason for that? Or was that something you thought of for the story? Quite intriguing though. I've never heard of such an idea but it really struck me is all. And I can just imagine him and little Taehyung dancing together on the stage. Granted, it sounds like it was almost more of a choreographed fight (sort of) but I can imagine it would have been fun to see.

You've also got me curious about the role of the various Oracles in here too. Yoongi and Taehyung actually have spirits in them, but do the other primary oracles too? Does it grant them any particular abilities? Are they chosen or can they apply? So many questions. Sorry! haha But truly, this was very enjoyable and I wish you luck in the contest! Well done! <3
