“You don’t dress like the other kids I know,” Neil commented.

“I’m not from here, I’m visiting from the Underworld. I get here through mean-looking statues like this one. I only do it at night though because the day time is too bright!” Eloise replied.

“I don’t spend a lot of time outside during the day either. My dad works nights, being the Man in the Moon and all. I am usually with my family when my dad isn’t working, so I mostly get out at night too. It’s great when my dad starts work early. That’s when I get to play with the other kids.”

“I can come here in the evening just before the sun goes down!

Do you think the other kids would ever come to a place like this one so I could meet them?” Eloise asked excitedly.

“Yeah, I can ask around when the sun comes back up. They just gotta get permission from their parents. Most of them can probably come, but my friend Scarlet might have some trouble. Her mom is really protective.”

The years passed by and the supernatural offspring were growing up. Most of the children played together, but Eloise often found herself alone. Being nocturnal, there were usually no other children to play with because they were asleep. Additionally, her parents were always needed to help those who had passed away move on. 

Even so, Eloise still remained cheerful.She was not a loner, but she remained happy because as she was allowed to do as she wished. She could even visit the surface on her own, so long as she stayed near grave markers and statues dedicated to the Underworld. Her father could still keep a close eye on her this way, so long as she did not travel too far.

Unfortunately, the Sun Goddess Phyra and her partner were not so lucky. Phyra longed to have a child with the mortal, but it seemed it was not meant to be. Phyra’s bitterness and fury had driven the mortal to leave her. He still loved her, but her fiery temper could not be calmed. This only made Phyra even more angry at the world and its inhabitants. 

The story of Juliet and the Grim Reaper’s love had quickly spread to the other realms. Supernatural beings became inspired to put aside their old, solitary ways and finally find soulmates of their own. The Man in the Moon finally revealed his feelings for the Lady of the Lake, the Creator of Dreams professed her love to the Sandman, and even the fiery Sun Goddess had found love while visiting the mortals.
