In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.15Please respect copyright.PENANA5w6KGbhkEl
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAuwxhQVFInF
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.15Please respect copyright.PENANALbQVV3GVvo
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…15Please respect copyright.PENANAx2Q3fAJ2kU
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. 15Please respect copyright.PENANA7bb6SWIXd4
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 15Please respect copyright.PENANA9yFcrF7TWW
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAYHaSYsLn1d
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.15Please respect copyright.PENANAw4vo5UyhGg
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.15Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ6u7e2XLP
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAKrEnvW167D
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.15Please respect copyright.PENANA4jR4l5gC26
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.15Please respect copyright.PENANA1PdABJWJTx
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.15Please respect copyright.PENANAi4XlKk4Eju
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.15Please respect copyright.PENANAkF7vLXIPZt
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?15Please respect copyright.PENANAA7sIpzJ5dU
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.15Please respect copyright.PENANA3CJ23yCobr
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.15Please respect copyright.PENANABsIaSOYiPi
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?15Please respect copyright.PENANAgdg0Zit9ZR
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANA8fB0VfeqKR
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANACIhVKSJt27
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.15Please respect copyright.PENANAzvjegBCK2W
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…15Please respect copyright.PENANA70h7nzlMB5
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.15Please respect copyright.PENANAQm3VZqK6Xk
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAngIZ0VxxJ8
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.15Please respect copyright.PENANAekICjY86qO
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.15Please respect copyright.PENANAZLAYwNyInn
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.15Please respect copyright.PENANAy7AiIJ5tX1
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.15Please respect copyright.PENANALStiidRZ0W
“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.15Please respect copyright.PENANATyDvEpSNfF
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.15Please respect copyright.PENANAsO1iIDGJHT
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAmWZS0RjHcO
“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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAgFm537Tk6P
“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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2r86L4GcH
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAADUr337L14
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAx3vAgPm9fA
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’.15Please respect copyright.PENANAbX8eHUTNl4
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.15Please respect copyright.PENANABy9Bhcj5RX
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.15Please respect copyright.PENANAGAgCnEYFeO
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
