“ the greatest love story ever witnessed “

Long, long ago in the time before time is when it all began.

It was when our Sun, then called Solar was still very young.

There were two sister planets who vied for his attention,

one was named Giah( for when her tears fell ).

Her sister was called Theia she was the petite one

Her beauty was widely known throughout the Universe.

Now Theia was the younger of two, and things being

the way things are there was only room for one in the arms of Solar.

And Sisters being sisters each wanting all of Solar’s attention.

While sister planets do that dance they do, and vie for attention

they found themselves spiraling out of control and destined

to butt heads which is what they did.

Their collision was so violent that the Universe cried in agony.

As both of the Sisters sustained injuries.

Theia was the worse for wear and what little was left of the

once beautiful sister drifted off into space.

Many believe she is the Mysterious Planet X of fabled belief.
