In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.85Please respect copyright.PENANAusblcVfYnl
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAsvMf0NsnRK
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.85Please respect copyright.PENANAkXm4zhjFDL
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…85Please respect copyright.PENANAUNH9gA0vqf
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. 85Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qw5jPIzy1
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 85Please respect copyright.PENANA2e0ClW9Tpp
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAMvdEpurTaR
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.85Please respect copyright.PENANA18vnRIobM3
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.85Please respect copyright.PENANALOehz6TL0h
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAov3I1e7jn2
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.85Please respect copyright.PENANAS7EAV8M4iV
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.85Please respect copyright.PENANAeCgCpR8ETx
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.85Please respect copyright.PENANA9KbWheE39G
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.85Please respect copyright.PENANAz2Va2PzS43
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?85Please respect copyright.PENANAizmHYHeICn
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.85Please respect copyright.PENANALkFdWv2qGG
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.85Please respect copyright.PENANAW9XJNg1wz5
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?85Please respect copyright.PENANAmFtSTvIdQu
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAFIUNCfhJZB
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANASMVDNGBs03
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.85Please respect copyright.PENANA7EfMeSlG0I
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…85Please respect copyright.PENANA3uWnBdL07w
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.85Please respect copyright.PENANAMBk0cDbTpv
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANA8WZa8Zb0Fw
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.85Please respect copyright.PENANAZbgQZWOUP3
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.85Please respect copyright.PENANADbl5ObHHI2
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.85Please respect copyright.PENANAFYc8Ns6Xsc
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.85Please respect copyright.PENANAZnV4NIReqE
“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.85Please respect copyright.PENANASJg5wYf7IA
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.85Please respect copyright.PENANArm1IQaPRfb
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAkHmqErorVy
“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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAUqxjxxzcOl
“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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAT2qX5hERfE
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANA8nA2SpDDFR
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANABaY7fQApo3
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’.85Please respect copyright.PENANAyFi5iHyii1
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.85Please respect copyright.PENANAuu4Dfq2PG6
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.85Please respect copyright.PENANAg3Fe1EcRSR
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
