Once Astreia and Az'rune started creating a new world as Astreia wished, the problems appeared one after another.

They tried to create a world where light and darkness could coexist, and it was going pretty well.

Soon they created the elements in their little world: water, fire, wind and earth. 

When the elements were settled, they raised plants and large trees, sculpted mountains and carved lakes into the earth. 

All was going as Astreia desired, and She felt happy when she gave the world the first living forms.

She called them sprites, and she gave them harmony with the nature itself. This way, if a sprite was nervous or causing chaos she would know something wasn't right.

Darkness looked curious at his sister, while the Moons were rising up in the sky. He thought a balance between Light and Darkness was necessary, so he created the day and the night.

Years later, when they both had constructed a world they considered perfect to maintain life, Astreia started creating life: first, the faeries came to be the Nature's protection. Then, the elves were born.

Secondly, Az'rune created the demons and beasts.

Astreia created the angels, and she gave them the possibility to fly with beautiful wings.

Az'rune was rising a Palace for them both to live in that world, where their creations could have all the prosperity they wanted to achieve.

The Palace was located in what would be the capital city of the Realm: Pandae. 

Pandae was a huge city in the middle of the forest, as Az'rune wished to have all the privacy he could get. His palace was in the middle of the city.

It was an obsidian and crystalline structure, in which magic was being constantly created.

Astreia had no words to describe how she loved Az'rune more and more every day.

She thought of his sacrifice to help her and she gladly walked to her brother.

—Darling! —Astreia smiled, looking at his brother in the obsidian throne in the middle of a huge room—.

—Astreia, my love. I have a question for you.

—What do you mean, brother?

—Do you know I love you, right? Plus, do you know I'd give my life for you, right?

—I do know, but, why are you telling me this? I mean… —Astreia held Az'rune's hand— 

—Let me make it simple, my love. —Az'rune stood up for a second before kneeling before Astreia, with a ring in his hand—. I do love you, and I wouldn't be able to be happy without you. So… Astreia, will you marry me? —He took Astreia's hand, watching her—

Astreia started crying, hugged to her brother. She was deeply in love, but she was too occupied to realize he loved her too. 

With a very quiet voice she told a short yes to her brother, and he put the ring in her hand.

A fairy watched everything as it happened in the palace because she wanted to talk with Az'rune.

The fairy flew to her home, shouting the good news to every living soul —magical or not—. 

Sooner or later, everybody knew and the whole Realm was celebrating future wedding between the Light and the Darkness.
