In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFlxNd0e1R
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxD6GbrdrL
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjE7THWVMB
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…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrRfwOfLaT
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. 35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDDi6rKdUq
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1MAWIHTok
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGpSfJilIo
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGQiZZuBa3
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst6wxsJrdR
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMP8DKyn9l
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vz1fuEasj
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJNFWwVbSW
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIChHiE32k7
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdAnrU6d32
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB0ZTG6gx1
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPElPdt3Ho
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUaWGYmorM
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW4zzJs6tJ
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7yMKF8BJI
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw58g2b59no
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xb4T5ByjS
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRzFYdJDua
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIOTF0Gf6m
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfSl0x8owX
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEdwuS0BLp
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbFnbdoFiF
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK30ZB1uRoo
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DgopygFg5
“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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRVOpwpUsz
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZqjZQjYg
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVNZ6qadm9
“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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d41CuirrP
“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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz1it1K6ih
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVo2xDqmOw
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrI3J42rQR
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’.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3BiPF8YWF
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLTVG0wF9I
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ29k8sObmn
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
