In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO5MZJumj4
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzR3EmNNgO
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVSrcl30u0
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…8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcPVvuBnEU
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. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n9CvwxxPz
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx7KnhLw7L
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TZckbDDbN
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zAGo1qLLA
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfKvdUdMBG
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfPzMFMHmU
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVvc4QM1VV
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejZubYzzdl
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cZgJsw9Z1
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZFOXfrIKz
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3BE9OtZkD
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrH0YBtbsp
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnbAuTrPnn
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzQF2nwFCc
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cqENIwu7j
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjQWRpAnOi
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dZFVF1fCH
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1jovQfaQD
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1QiFoS1Mf
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwro6Althhs
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE9LIPZxVK
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjC3rturF7
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhAHM6R2cg
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVkHgX24Qu
“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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaXyYMskwL
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM1IHnuB5N
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45jzts76cL
“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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q3y7vfWRm
“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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCgseLAXj1
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W8C5cDvuv
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.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqwAF8jH4A
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’.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3hUvFD8Y1
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKQY4v1HXZ
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDukeVYDYWo
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
