In between the forest trees… A man stood there, holding something covered in a blanket.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIed04abj1
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoeXQN9B0z
Maybe not something… Maybe it was someone. A fragile child.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3XPlPSXzo
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…26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9BiaDHdkE
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. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyItlSgj8wy
The snow fell quietly. It surrounded the blanket… It came on top of it. Whatever or whoever was in there would freeze to death. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S6nmKlfkr
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDPTmh3Ge4
The world was cruel. The wind was whispering, as if it was trying to not disturb something.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHZcXTCNmz
Another bell rang. In a city, somewhere far away… People were begging for money, food or water.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY3KjKT2QL
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOg92RF7C8
Almost no one survived. Most of the houses were destroyed. The villagers were dead, but not found.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWGg9ggD39
A dog passed by with its owner. The dog started barking. He looked at the mound of snow.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY9ZxLTZGX
The dog started digging. Further and further. Until he smelled blood. There was a look of horror on the owner’s face.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiKrqHtess
He saw a little baby… Tiny. Its skin was almost blue, pale. There was frost on her short eyelashes.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOSPAFvJSY
There was blood on her right eye. It was closed. Her left eye stared at the man. Was she even conscious?26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeUrxvNddF
Her eye had a diamond blue color. Not a really stark contrast with the snow. Her nose was as red as a rose.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9amnJNJyyZ
She couldn’t do anything. Her body shivered. The owner pulled his dog away and ran back. Into the mist… Further, leaving her alone.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRn9nEAkrj
Days passed like falling leaves… She didn’t move. She should’ve been dead by now. But was she dead?26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OwvZ5AhsG
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26C3iQHUqj
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Qc5Snbzu
She didn’t remember their faces nor did she remember their voices. Not like she could hear or speak.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTd0eyU4A1
The girl was silent… Unmoving… Unbeknownst of the world. The moon watched her. Still, she didn’t speak. She couldn’t speak…26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTbIzYs93
Footsteps approached… Closer and closer... Soft and deliberate in the snow. As if they were expecting someone to be alive.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhB8WJF4oQ
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTygBJIUb35
The woman looked old. Not in years, but in pain. She saw the girl and the girl saw her. Yet, no sound was heard.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBqE0HtCGt
The woman crouched. She touched the girl’s hand, expecting it to be cold. But… It was warm. Unbelievable. She was alive.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydZ0nKoFIn
The girl’s fingers twitched. The woman had a look of empathy in her eyes. She was the only one who did.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZZW7F7M4p
“You poor thing,” the woman whispered, afraid to hurt the girl. She probably couldn’t move with her battered body.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZNeAxOLhJ
“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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTgTyDFlkR
The girl didn’t have a name. She didn’t have a warm place to call ‘home’ nor someone who she belonged to.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZCMtZZEIL
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWYAH6nISu
“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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3e6McbwLc
“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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6kjnJYDv0
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaMWj1mrLD
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.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMJTnI3DS4
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’.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3byFreYF3D
Lunar knew what loneliness was. She wouldn’t ask herself who she really was, because deep inside… Something older than her body knew it.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUICaG0W97q
She had been left. Not forgotten. Not hated. Just… Discarded. Without a name. Without a cry. Without her parents.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPberp8T3m
With the snow, falling quietly as always. It was as silent as her… That’s how her life starts.
