If the curse of sun and moon was a myth then why did it work
In season 2 it is said that Klaus made up the curse of the sun and moon so that others will find the requirements to break the curse.
So why were the others suffering from the curse like the vampires could only walk at night and the werewolves could only turn during full moon..??

Thanks to some clever plot maneuvering, Elena lived to see another day after the curse was broken.What was the moonstone curse?
A book explaining the curse. The moonstone was originally thought to be used some time in the 15th century by an Aztec shaman, as the power source of a curse cast upon both vampires and werewolves. The effects of the curse made vampires vulnerable to the sun, and tied the werewolves' transformation to the full moon.What happens if Klaus break the curse?

Klaus wants to break the curse that is upon him so he can reawaken his werewolf side and create an army of hybrids.
