In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGKiadGweN
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NQZtokBai
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Nc3nH70z
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…13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajLoRn98MA
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. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iOXDYTkeA
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZSyESF2RP
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt8tO1DmKR
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAcAIWdecc
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EyDbC470v
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqcB1dR9lm
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LGVxtoE9q
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql2TbZFu1w
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6NNkapqOQ
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJel8KNwCT4
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aTh19tmHS
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriFeDFG4Ik
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3y5CFXkbC
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84jA5lYu1V
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN587FCkh3
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jaUeuU2eM
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQBBG0RKxe
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvduFN3N2Z
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kmR66q9QU
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu0DOkHy9i
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc7sc4AE03
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAec84Irg03
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhaEbC6SkL
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXepqslbEC
“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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNUarpM1om
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9n0m0wd5l
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0daOHOAz9
“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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeWBizYim5
“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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nQMfXVafR
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKPdSXJKlm
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO6SRYyoYA
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’.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14O1dsPpPS
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEWig7GgVl
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknx9E5fFb6
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
