The twin stars, entwined and spinning, grew ever brighter, casting halos of blue and purple, and then a crescent of the crystal moon slowly took shape.
The once-illusory surface of the water turned into frozen ice crystals, as the ethereal condensation from the far shore of time became tangible.
More and more ice crystals formed, until at last, a full moon carrying the sands of time rose gradually from the water. It was transparent and flawless, faintly glowing with blue and purple lights, and within, one blue, one purple, two girls lay sleeping back to back.
They were never apart; they were each other's two sides of the same coin, like the ancient mythological 'God of Two Faces,' Janus.
