After an hour of riding, Luna began to wonder if what they seek will take more time to reach.
She cannot get any straight answer from Wulfric. With increased paced she rode right beside him.
"Is it still far? How much farther do we need to go?"
"We are almost there."
“B
"Wandering Mirror of the Moon?""Yes, because along with the moon it wanders around, never found in the same place.""How?”Not comprehending Wulfric's words, Luna knitted her brows."This whole place, the pond, the waterfalls. Moves around, making its location unpredictable. The Mirror of the Moon does not appear to just anyone. No existing map can point you to its specific spot. If it chooses to conceal its location no one can find it. Only to those who were invited, will it reveal its location.""Really? It keeps changing its location? So, once we leave, we can never find this place again unless invited?""Yes, no traces of its existence will remain and this part of the forest will go back to the way it is. Until the next one is invited and again its brilliance shall be revealed. It is a resting place for those seeking guidance. A respite to wandering souls and a place of healing for the broken."Since time immemorial the Mir
The sun was already setting when the Luna and Wulfric emerged from the cluster of trees.Seeing the red-orange hue of the sky, disoriented Luna. She was expecting the bright moon to greet her. Still looking confused, Luna was ushered by Wulfric to her horse."What-"When Luna finally got her head sorted and wanted to ask Wulfric to explain. She saw the giant of a man already galloping away."Forget it. Yeah... I know... Enchanted... Why did I ever have to ask?" Lips extended in a pout, Luna followed muttering to herself.The journey back was uneventful and they soon reached Mirage Castle.Luna and Wulfric went up and the rest parted to go back to their own dwellings.Though Wulfric, as the General, has his own quarters at the palace. He seldom stays there. He has his own dwelling to go home to and was only accompanying the princess.While in the lift, Luna's mind was still stuck at that mysterious pond they visited. And her fro
After making sure that Luna got inside the castle safely. Wulfric did not leave just yet.He waited for few minutes before a shadow appeared beside him.Wulfric did not even blanch a little and directly spoke without looking back."Speak."The hazy image of a shadow messenger
The General was guessing it would take a while for Princess Lamea to come. Thus, he did not expect to see her waiting for him as soon as he entered the room.There were no guards visible around. An indication that the princess had dismissed them and does not wish anyone to overhear their conversation."Something is amiss."Her grim countenance in full display, the moment he arrived. Her words though softly spoken still echoed along the walls of the empty throne room.Wulfric was about to kneel and genuflect. However, Princess Lamea waived her hand in dismissal and instead urged him to come closer."It is only the two of us, Wulfric. No need for formalities. Now, tell me.”"Yes, Princess Lamea. After moonrise today, an attack to the Eastern border caught our soldiers by surprise.""The Elite Guards of Grendlar? Are you certain?" Her brows creased in contemplation.Wulfric did not have to voice out his affirmative response.
"It is true. It already happened." Was Princess Lamea’s dejected answer to her sister’s silent query. “No…”She was too late. Again.Like a wilted flower, Morga crumpled and collapses at the seat next to her sister’s. Her almond shaped e
After General Wolf left, Princess Lamea remained unmoving on her throne. Pondering the events that happened; from her father’s death, Luna’s existence and the attacks that lead to this day.She is beginning to suspect that everything is connected.Before her father died, Lamea recalled, he had been adamantly on guard around her. Though he had never let Lamea freely read all his thoughts; the blocks were never that obvious as on the days leading to his death.It was clear that he was hiding something from her. Thinking hard, Lamea tried to recall any incident from the last time her father came back from the human realm, that may give her a clue.But aside from that one occasion he told them about Luna and her mother, nothing comes to mind.“What am I missing…?” she keeps on murmuring, repeatedly drumming her index finger on the throne. On it was a ring made of pure gold, inlaid with small diamonds. It’s wide and
Luna woke up early the next morning feeling restless. Shifting in her bed, she gazes upon the conch left by General Wolf. He must have arrived at the post by now. Getting up, Luna picked-up the shell and placed the opening close to her ears. The sound of the waves can be heard at first followed by the baritone voice of the general. It was all instructions for what she needed to work on. Including the fact that Commander Ortho will supervise her training. Puffing air out of her mouth, she jumped back on the bed, enjoying a little more lazy-time.
Looking like evil villains in a horror movie, the two princes continued to engage in an awkward laughter. After a while, Luna’s amusement turned into a shudder. When both showed no signs of stopping, Luna bravely intervene.“Cough… I think that’s enough…Please stop.” Upon hearing Luna, the guests immediately stilled mid-laugh and shifted their probing orbs on her. And in unison said, “As you wish princess.”Luna was relieved but would probably have nightmares when remembering the strange sound."Okay, you guys haven't answered any of my questions. Who are you? How did you get in here?" She would probably regret later, staying and talking with them instead of running away. But at that moment, Luna’s curiosity was piqued by these creatures. She needs to know why they risked coming just to meet her."Our apologies, Princess Luna, Royal Princess of the Kingdom of Con
