In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiPs4e5Tto
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkUULiihAG
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JgPI89bHw
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…11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPof3JNdmtQ
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. 11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xKpK2lkiU
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDKFZU1GWc
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrCIc8um5E
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56C6QekCMa
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHLkLE5rWd
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVwr7RfBoz
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKTHEvZPKq
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPeZMl9EF1
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ddOwXeLj
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz9w3QGCrN
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeOS3Kuwnz
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq60o5zw8hy
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNFzzgVhCz
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZdnKG6V0W
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhLkSn68Qz
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n15pgLhAo
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M6g7ihA09
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp3NJqExFV
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gwda7wSBW
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5TIOZgP9p
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKwCEzlimx
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zBhs5sXb4
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SieJ2nXYv
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUqBZGvErE
“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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7LvucBwq
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn82f1vFkvL
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcKnWRbMjI
“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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo5M5sJJIu
“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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAuSv58VLy
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWJW4dDZzN
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImxBTPWoBG
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’.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxuO9LLUns
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2EeRnU8XC
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGapgWT8I7
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
