Tales of Dawn

The Black Dawn Prologue

Tis I, back again with an analysis!

This one will be shorter than the last one, but we have things to analyze so let's get to it!The beginning of a momentous journey has begun! The prologue is here and it's a package laced 

with sweetness and a spindle of mystery.

We see the main character, Aurora, carrying her son Casseus up the steps to the temple where 

the story will unfold.

It's now revealed that the whole family has traveled together to the Oracle of Delphi, and it wasn't just Aurora alone who decided to receive wisdom from Pythia. This could be presumed as a family trip, an experience for all three kids to enjoy and get exposed to the wonders of 

futuristic tellings and magic.

In my previous analysis, I had guessed that the Moirai's temple was very excluded from society 

as they seemed like the ones to not be on center stage. And I was right.

This results in those who seek their visions to make a long trip to acquire their answers- as shown by the fatigued Aurora who looks like she might collapse on the staircase to the temple. Perhaps if she had traveled alone she wouldn't be as exhausted as she is now, but with three 

little monsters scurrying by her feet like piranhas, it gets tough to hold it together.

This brings insight to the laborious sector of motherhood for not just Aurora, but all those mothers out there who have to gamble with their jobs, husbands, and kids. We've seen Aurora handle her kids effortlessly in the Dawn of Light, and with this simple scene of a chaotic string of events, it makes people realize that even the most efficient mothers have breakdowns from the 

stress of their kids.

Kids.

Look at where this is taking place. Theia and her younger brothers are still kids compared to their adult lives in the Dawn of Light. That means the Black Dawn is centered between the Old Family and the Dawn of Light. Heh, how ironic it placed between two stages of cimmerian circumstances and luminous developments.

Moving along, let's glance at two quotes that captured my attention right away:"The night sky was filled with stars and the light from the crescent moonlit some way. The rest of their journey was lit up by the tall beacons of fire that were placed beside the marble stairs."

The night sky...

Where the journey all began and why the journey started in the first place. It's a clear sign of what's always going to be blanketing over everyone in the Black Dawn like a shadow, the night sky. The night will be a very treacherous time for Aurora, this is only the beginning where it spares its face in a graceful and fluorescent makeup. It will become bottomless and universal as time goes by, suffocating everything it captures in its grasp. But that's just it, it's only the beginning. The night may be the end of the day, but guess what breaks through and ends its 

time in the sky? Dawn.

Dawn will prevail and will end that way as well.

Going towards the moon, its in a crescent shape. In most cultures, it is a symbol of fertility, relating to life and death. But to greek mythology specifically,

"According to the Greeks, the moon is associated with love and unattainable beauty. Since it grows large and small, it is also a symbol of time, change, and repetitive cycles such as birth and
