Now that a candle-shadow stands on the screen of carven marble
And the River of Heaven slants and the morning stars are low,
Are you sorry for having stolen the potion that has set you
Over purple seas and blue skies, to brood through the long nights?

- Li Shangyin, translated by Witter Bynner 

An unfathomable amount of years ago, a mortal woman stole two elixirs of immortality and is named the goddess of the moon. 
An unending amount of years later, she continues to remain, stuck in her own thoughts.

A short, 1000 word character study about ascension and regret.

The art is so lovely, and the lights at the end are so beautiful. The writing flows really well

Really lovely. I'm glad to get a perspective on her feelings that her greatest mistake is celebrated every year.
