The Legend of the Star-Crossed Lovers
In the tranquil town of Arendelle, blessed with the bewitching synergy of sun, sand, and waves, there laid a long-lived tale of two star-crossed lovers, Belle and Miguel. They are said to have existed during the epoch when gods and humans shared a common dwelling, imparting their divine knowledge, wonders and thrills.
Belle was a maiden of unparalleled beauty and wisdom, the daughter of a humble and respected farmer. Her hazel eyes twinkled like the stars and her laugh radiated sunshine even during the gloomiest winters. Every resident of Arendelle admired Belle's grace, intelligence and inner beauty. Her spirit possessed the ability to heal the bleakest hearts and lighten the melancholic surroundings.
A slightly different world was inhabited by Miguel, Arendelle’s crown prince. Miguel was a charismatic figure with a warrior’s strength, a poet's heart, and the wisdom of noble ancestors. He bewailed his solitude, isolated by the demands of his station. But his melancholy was no match for his benevolence and his undying spirit to strive for his people's prosperity.
Belle and Miguel's paths crossed during the annual harvest festival, where Belle won Miguel's heart with her intelligence and radiance. He found an emotional solace in Belle that had been elusive in his life. They started meeting clandestinely, by the moonlit river and under the verdant trees. Love flourished between Belle and Miguel, as did the captivating flowers of Arendelle in spring.
Their love was besmeared with the colors of joy, passion, empathy, and respect. Their conversations held the deepest secrets of their hearts and the longest dreams of their souls. Time seemed infinite when they were together, yet ticked faster than ever. However, the cruel hands of destiny and tradition played a significant role in their story.
The steering customs of Arendelle’s royalty were stringent about the royal bloodline's purity. As a result, Miguel was forbidden to marry a commoner, and that included Belle. This idea tormented Miguel, and he expressed his predicament to his wise old advisor, Sylvester. Renowned for his sagacity and knowledge of the divine presence, Sylvester was the only one who could perceive Miguel's torment.
Sylvester advised Miguel to approach the gods for a solution. After listening to his story, the gods were touched by his pure love and compassion. They granted him a single boon, a solution that was bittersweet. They turned Belle into a star, thus granting her a royal status equal to Miguel's.
Yet, as stars are never permanent on earth, Belle came to Arendelle's sky only during the night, returning to her celestial abode at dawn. Miguel was granted the ability to transform into the sun, illuminating the world with his strength and glow. He would rise at dawn and set at dusk, making way for Belle. Only during twilight, the fleeting moments of dawn and dusk, could the lovers meet, putting on a spectacle of hues in the sky.
The legend of these star-crossed lovers was passed from generation to generation in Arendelle as a symbol of pure and undying love. Even today, their cherished love story enlightens young hearts, bringing light into their world—much like Belle and Miguel, who continue to strive hard to share brief moments of unity, painting a tale of love in the sky of Arendelle during every sunrise and sunset.
