In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.22Please respect copyright.PENANAzo0UwylXEE
He had a knife in his hand. The metal was stained with blood, as if he had killed someone. There was a hole in the blanket. Dry blood was visible on it.22Please respect copyright.PENANAdIltEBbczM
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.22Please respect copyright.PENANAUuMDdWzSX6
The man laid it down on the ground. He stared at it for a bit. He pulled out a withered flower out of his jacket and put it on her. He walked away…22Please respect copyright.PENANAiQgi0a8nSF
The soft sound of someone walking on snow was heard… Somewhere, the bells rang. Even though the sound didn’t reach it. Nothing reached it. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAHxtDKknmoo
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAiFULDWiJlS
No one was around. No one could see. But it looked like the snow was the only thing that had mercy… A cold breeze passed.22Please respect copyright.PENANARGoH0zmcYM
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.22Please respect copyright.PENANAC4Wux1N9x5
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.22Please respect copyright.PENANAWNOLHlzBgP
Last night, a blizzard struck a village. The village where the man lived. It was named Gravemire because of the countless amount of gravestones that stood there.22Please respect copyright.PENANAZyhHZ4PqJI
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.22Please respect copyright.PENANAFeiXd8bizj
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.22Please respect copyright.PENANATiJ1VupI9Z
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.22Please respect copyright.PENANA6hoen9DRYB
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.22Please respect copyright.PENANA78MlGoWiQa
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?22Please respect copyright.PENANAEEyXbL3oIO
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.22Please respect copyright.PENANAqYyYs2ApeE
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.22Please respect copyright.PENANAYrajBIyfEb
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?22Please respect copyright.PENANAQnmFHKMUOf
She didn’t even cry yet. Not like she could. Not when her father had left her out the day she was born. Everyone looked away, disgusted or not even caring.22Please respect copyright.PENANA7PCEFEYqSl
She was nothing more than a mere orphan. Everyone left. Without a word. Without a goodbye. Just one thing… A sharp, uncertain look. Then they disappeared.22Please respect copyright.PENANAk3n55HfQLd
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.22Please respect copyright.PENANAWrMWhxdjFN
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…22Please respect copyright.PENANAyp8NrLFTn7
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.22Please respect copyright.PENANAPDKA32KjGR
The girl opened her eyes. A woman stood above her. The woman’s brown hair was bound in a braid. She brushed snow off her shoulders. Her eyes were chocolate brown.22Please respect copyright.PENANA6tBcI9ilcV
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.22Please respect copyright.PENANARsaeH4MrtW
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.22Please respect copyright.PENANAUPdjc87dN1
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.22Please respect copyright.PENANAPvgZRQLzM6
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.22Please respect copyright.PENANAANlZXsdU4D
“So cruel… Which devil decided to leave such a small, fragile person in the cold…?” the woman asked. More to herself, since she wouldn’t get a reply.22Please respect copyright.PENANAifNKEDo2q9
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.22Please respect copyright.PENANAfGlsuJzByy
The woman takes her cloak off and wraps it around the girl. Her arms were strong, and she held the child like she was made out of glass. Something a touch itself could break.22Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ul5dm3H37
“You’ll stay with me. I do not care whose child you are, I will not let you die here… Just hold on to life a little longer, please…” she pleaded. The woman gazed at the full moon. She smiled.22Please respect copyright.PENANAQyaJZAX3Oq
“Your name will be… Lunar. Similar to my daughter’s name, Luneth. Remember it, okay? The moon is beautiful, but alone… I think… You’ll be like it,” the woman said, a tear sliding to her chin.22Please respect copyright.PENANAWvtmgPDpei
She didn’t know that Lunar couldn’t hear her. Lunar was deaf and mute. A failure to her family, maybe to the world as well. She didn’t know yet.22Please respect copyright.PENANA2xwyf91g9V
She was being carried away from the grave her father had made for her. She would be taken to a place with walls and a fireplace.22Please respect copyright.PENANARKR4X2w2wk
Even if the world would call her strange, she wouldn’t know. Even if someone would try to hurt her, she wouldn’t feel pain. That’s because she already knew how it felt when she was born. She got used to it and called it ‘love’.22Please respect copyright.PENANAufkLoWS5bc
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.22Please respect copyright.PENANAYVoG0gM4fY
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.22Please respect copyright.PENANAt2dYYqgK9s
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
