They were both little girls and born in a tribe that lived in an area we now know as the Saharan desert. Back then it was a luscious forest with vegetation and a large population of animals. 

The tribes worshipped the sun and the moon in unity. 

Their descendants should become the greek titans and pantheon and the egyptian ennead.

But then they were only one tribe worshipping both. 

They were not entirely human, but also not entirely gods or chaosborn. 

In their inability to really differentiate between one or the other, even though some of them were long lived or had the potential to become immortal, they asked their rulers, their makers for a sign. 

And it just so happened that following this, on a blood moon Phion was born. 

A few hours later, when the sun was at it's highest, Phite was born. 

Those children were weird in that one of them had star patterns all over her obsidian skin, she was called Phion, and the other had golden eyes. This was not all though, the girl named Phite had hair the colour of a lioness and Phion's eyes were silvery grey. 

The shamans determined that these kids were the incarnation of their gods and raised them as sisters. However, this was not how they felt.

 

When they played together at the start it was with kindness and even though Phite's temperament was more energetic and Phion was more of a night person, they always got along. 

Always protecting the other while the one slept. 

As they grew older their waking and sleeping rhythms met in the middle, even though Phion still went to bed late, she didn't sleep all day anymore.

In their teenage years they started learning and each found a profession that aligned best with their gifts, while Phion became an oracle and was proficient with the dagger, Phite became a warrior and though provicient with most weapons preferred the sword.

They were always close and oblivious eyes wanted them to marry into their families and saw them just as sisters, but the moment they bloomed into women, their eyes never strayed from one another, not even once.

No one could do anything as they married and didn't stop living and being together - now in a more deeper sense than before. Yes there was jealousy and bitterness, but this was a very sensible species and as such they never started a war, but they still parted ways. 

Still, on one night of new moon Phion saw that the Sahara, the paradise they had lived in, grown up and fallen in love in would soon turn into a desert. 

And as she shared it with the remnants of the tribe, the previous division of the tribe, which had started already, as mentioned above, became more grave and made them leave. This previous division, as mentioned above had set into motion the groundwork for the genesis of the egyptian and greek pantheon. 

The women were abandoned in the now desert, as they didn't want to part from one another and become the moon/night god for the splinter group that only worshipped the moon. Or for the other to become the sun/day god of the other segment that only worshipped the sun.

The remnants of this tribe now believed to know that the gods one worships should never become mortal or close to it, because they never followed the expectations of a non-immortal mind. 

However, some of the people also became convinced that they could do it better and as they were not human to begin with they finally ascended to being their own gold or wine red blooded deities.

Even after a long time Phion and Phite did not join them. Instead they stayed in the desert and were said to be responsible for each oasis and the underground rivers, which flowed beneath the yellow ocean of powder.

 

And then they disappeared.

Maybe their celestial bodies called them back, maybe their bodies were eventually exhausted, as these beings were not suited for that much energy. Or maybe it was because of not having a mission anymore.

Whatever it was, as far as we know, this is just another secret buried beneath sand near an Acacia tree.
