In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYdqyO61Q8
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBUnmNaJtt
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsSjxUbZ0o
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…7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ2kxPvNRZ
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. 7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6U99QCMgt
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXzXmiz2LD
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lAGm01O8d
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxcbK6LhWr
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuFC9bBBav
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZzisqFYAT
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iZKcz8fyw
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizsb0yNZ6U
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe8P99Npqf
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck3KJAZgWQ
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtbO8n8k4l
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO9Ge7hRA8
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdWAGAFsKb
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn7u459MpH
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H6j60f0qD
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7bVlKhX4e
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YiUzzHWe3
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGrVy8qHU
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfOiQOjSLg
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1goHyXtPq
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITSjgzYz56
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskeNSU3ilk
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReVg1Q0cRP
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUzdvPImM1
“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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz32l7euTdo
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt5g2NTDm7
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW41WVW9lcP
“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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQCMG1KMJz
“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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6tUXOMNjc
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ktAk9DIDO
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.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRY9sghfJw
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’.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGnYdpD83H
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFF8hdrfjJ
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWngli2JTO
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
