Moonlit Pages Chapter 33: Plans
"What do you plan to do next?" Zoren asked Galen as he watched his loyal follower apply something to his face. Galen just shrugged, not giving him any certain answer. Zoren sat back, his arms crossed.There is nothing that could interfere with them now since Galen has successfully pulled Zoren into his own office. It was very difficult for him to do so earlier since Zoren wouldn't go anywhere without getting a glimpse of where Verena was. He always had to know what she was doing, what was going on in her mind, and if she was fine. Even though the woman was casually sitting in the living room, Zoren was there to monitor her in case something bad happened to her. Perhaps it was his own problem. Struggling to accept the fact that within three days he won't be able to do any of it for Verena. All he can do is do the most today and try not to leave any room for regrets."Are you going to stay quiet and pretend to not hear anything till the end of the day?" Zoren blurted it out. "You wanted
Moonlit Pages Chapter 34: Best
"For now, Rena has to focus on her own." Galen tossed Zoren a piece of jerky to munch on as they sat in the huge living room, watching random shows on the television. Zoren got hooked on a cooking show, and now he wants to know who would win the title in one sitting. "If you are still bored, you just have to press the buttons on this remote control a couple of times and you will be able to find something else to watch. Isn't that nice?""If you leave me alone, I think I would not have the power to stop myself from ruining her efforts and just walk right inside her room to bother her again.""I told you to stop doing that; she needs to be able to tap into her inner being, the witch inside of her that had been concealed for such a long time." Galen tossed another piece. "I told you already, didn't I? All she has to do is tap into it, accept who she is, let her feel all the power that would eventually engulf her, and get used to it by herself.""Is she able to handle all that?" His voice
Moonlit Pages Chapter 35: Seriona
Verena entered her room, feeling a bit anxious about what the magical book of witches might reveal to her. She had heard that it was incredibly powerful and that only the most skilled witches could decipher its ancient text. And although Galen and Zoren try to reaffirm that she belongs to the best of the best, she is not fully believing it. However, she was determined to try.As she opened the book, she saw the strange markings on the pages—lines and symbols that seemed to dance before her eyes. She tried to focus on the letters to make sense of the jumbled mess, but it was no use. The text was incomprehensible to her."What the hell am I supposed to see here?" she asked herself. "Is this going to work?"Frustration bubbled up in her chest. She had come all this way to study with the greatest witches of the land, and now she couldn't even read the book that was supposed to be her key to unlocking their secrets.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Then s
Moonlit Pages Chapter 36: Rain
"Are you serious? You've read that name written on the book, Rena?""I am very serious," she replied, the word determination written all over her face. "Now that I am able to read the words written on the ancient book, do you think I would be able to follow it and become a decent witch at least?""You want to be a decent witch?" Zoren was a bit taken aback by her words. "Do you really want to fully embrace it now?""I had always taken it seriously, Zoren," she said. "Even when I did not want to be a witch, I really wished I was a mere mortal. But if I could help, at least I should do my best, right? Even if I was not sure if I could handle it, at least I should try, right?""This might have been the very first time that I heard you be this enthusiastic about being a witch, Rena," Galen said. "I must admit, I am a little bit surprised that you were able to progress this fast with your abilities. I was thinking that it might take a lot longer, but look at you now.""I am just as surpris
Moonlit Pages Chapter 37: Tonight
Verena's POVI walked beside Zoren, marveling at the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of the wet market. The scent of freshly caught fish and aromatic spices filled the air, mingling with the lively chatter of vendors and customers. Colorful stalls lined the narrow pathways, displaying an array of exotic fruits, fragrant herbs, and neatly arranged vegetables.Zoren seemed both intrigued and slightly overwhelmed by the vibrant scene unfolding before us. His sharp eyes scanned the various stalls, taking in the rich tapestry of sights and sounds. The flickering sunlight filtered through the canopy overhead, casting a warm, golden glow on everything it touched.We strolled along, occasionally stopping to admire the assortment of goods. Zoren's curiosity was infectious, and I found myself pointing out the unique local delicacies, explaining their uses, and sharing stories about the market's rich history. The merchants, with their friendly smiles and quick banter, offered samples of their of
Moonlit Pages Chapter 38: Dear
As soon as the clock hit six in the evening, Verena already knew that she had to muster up her courage. When the full moon comes out to shine its majestic light towards them, she has to use her powers. With her own words and her own voice, she has to wish for Zoren to leave them. It would hurt; she already knew that much. It will be very difficult; she also told herself that, but she can't back out. It is the very last thing that she could do for him; of course, she has to do it right. "What are you doing?" Zoren asked as soon as she sat up on her bed. She looked beside her to see his beautiful face. "Why are you getting up?" She had played this game the entire day with him. Zoren woke up and chose not to acknowledge what day it was. Since yesterday night, he has been acting strange. Whenever Verena woke up, she would catch him, eyes peeled open, watching over her as she slept. Now, he kept on talking as if he would have a year or two left for the two of them to hang out when he kne
Moonlit Pages Chapter 39: Darkness
In the dark living room, Galen sat still, taking in the loud sobs of Verena as she sat by the main door of the mansion, looking up at the moon. It was completely silent, even though the insects that had always been interrupting his sleep at times seemed to notice such a heartbreaking moment. All he could hear were her sorrowful cries, not able to rest or stop even for a second. He wishes that he could just tap on her shoulder, tell her a couple of jokes, and make her stop. But Galen is well informed that none of that would help Verena.It has been two hours since Zoren left. Verena kept on trying to read the words written on the cursed book, like she was clinging to the stories written about Zoren, imagining how he is and what he is doing at the moment. When she informed Galen that there is no record of him returning to Lunaria or even words written after Zoren had left, she was even more broken. The way he misses Zoren is killing her. But Galen could only sit back and watch as she pu
Moonlit Pages Chapter 40: Church?
Galen spent his entire day waiting by Verena's door to check on her. There was nothing for a few hours for him to hear. He knew that by that time, it was only decent, thinking that she was resting or taking her sweet time to heal her whole body and take time to rest. But when it suddenly turned four in the afternoon and he still couldn't get anything from Verena, it worried him."Rena, are you awake?" he tried to ask her while placing his ear directly on the door, but there was no response. "I ordered pizza; do you want some?""What the hell are you doing?" he asked himself. "Of course she won't have any pizza right now; she is hurting and wanting to distance herself from you." He hit his own head with his palm. "But should I really not try and just leave her inside?""I am not even sure if she is alright," Galen sighed. "Why the hell am I having full-on conversations with myself? Am I unwell?"Galen sighed. He took a very deep breath before he slowly fell to the floor. He controlled
