Heads Up Seven Up Tag

I was tagged by @zmlorenz (a little while ago) thank you!!

so this is from the Book of Veitau Part I, a short compilation of myths from Veitaunese mythology (which is what the people from my wip Of Time and Wonders used to believe in)

In the everlasting darkness amid the flickering stars, there were two lost lovers yearning to unite. One was Nua, the Goddess of Night and Afterlife, of everything that surrounded them at the time, of that which could not be seen, that which could not be known, that which would never come to light. Then there was Yume, Goddess of Today, who was everything Nua was not: the present, the here and now and every slipping moment, a single breath of life and light, who did not remember, did not learn, but simply knew. It was engraved on their skins, hearts, and bones that they were different to the core.

Yume embodied the joyful disc florets in the magnificent constellation of the Sunflower. Nua, on the other hand, appeared as the brightest star of a bewitching flute; its plaintive sound was said to be dulcet and lilting and mellow, sweet and soft as the half-light.
