A Grimm Moon

Description

This piece was done for :iconmyths-and-legends: Grimm's Fairy Tales contest. For this I have chosen the story called 'The Moon', and it is about four travelers out exploring in a time when the night was truly dark, for there was no moon. That was, until, they stumbled across a town whose mayor had purchased the moon and hung it in a tree to pierce the darkness. The four stole the moon, and took it to their village where it remained amid the branches of a large oak for many years. One by one, as the travelers aged, they eventually died, and as they did so, a quarter of the moon was removed and buried with each of them. However, now that the moon was being reunited with all it's pieces in the underworld, light was being shed upon the dead, and they were joyous, and arose. When the guardians of the upperworld saw this, however, they thought the denizens of death were staging a revolt, and so they forced the dead to return to their graves, and took the moon to hang it amid the stars, far beyond their reach.
