Lunar Twilight 2020 - the third night: Prince of Persia Two Thrones

 

Lunar Twilight is the kind of like a wake/celebration for the transition of 2020 to 2021.  It is unique time when an afterglow of 2020 shines, after sunset for the first few weeks of the New Year.  For the Moon was declared the ruler of the night, and the last Moon of yesteryear remains for just a bit into the new year. The current Moon will not fade until January 13, 2021.  Until then, in a certain way the nights revert back to 2020, to honor the memory that was and allow for that transitioning serenity and hope for tomorrow. 

Speaking of the time and the past, a seminal game that rode the mystic's adventure to the ancient world came into being in 2005—The Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones.  

In the opening sequence, you can see the enchanted medallion that controls aspects of time.  It is engraved with a Moon.  In the Far West, we have forgotten to notice the clockwork magic of the Moon, that sets the months and counts the passing of time.  It is no wonder that people of the clear desert skies would be more aware and take notice of the Moon's transition with the passage of time.  

The Prince of Persia was something of an interactive dream, that had a particular spark on the history of time and its connection to the Moon.  The ending credits song is thematic of the Lunar Twilight's passage of yesteryear's time.
