In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvwozuiSbT
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fpq25hDNf
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKQQWTsSqv
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…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6GHgiopkr
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. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9D04kS5TA
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfmyri7dSH
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiPEWXK1u6
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPppzS7fWU
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ167dTazqfN
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5P4MG7hXO
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWrA1NEy2O
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C33rM134K
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCim7Zn3bO
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvMvOkqnPK
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNP0G5yipM
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCn55ItCGp
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPtMvQboSy
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCevsz9jBfZ
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEccVhf0SC
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkDkYkKQNs
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhVIakCbDU
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0BuTGGfDJ
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMGZKrpHmv
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqk0B95l9w
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSdM1YLi3L
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamPHYNL6tb
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V85T0wZ9D
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoI0B0ghZV
“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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMbHgXWqQo
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC16l87eGm
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ljRsYLsJ5
“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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXXJvEDMuc
“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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TQ0cQNVgc
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMLZzuyXUG
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.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzLF466uFd
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’.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBOI1kRLu2
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9gVF7xsuZ
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vESMvA4sJ
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
