It was silent when Lunar arrived at the house. As if… No one was in here. But there was definitely someone in it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR209iBHS3H
Selene looked up as she heard glass shatter. The fourth time this week.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4dVnGZfbn
A man opens the door and looks at her. He was drunk. A fat man with a beard, no hair and brown eyes looked at Lunar.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNnkvhLXLu
“Who’s that?” he asked, tilting his head to the side. Selene’s gaze darted around the room.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OR1K7VZkm
“Just… A helpless kid,” she answered, adrenaline coursing through her veins. She knew something bad was about to happen.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW94chDFxG3
“I thought I told you… I TOLD YOU TO NOT BRING ANYONE ELSE HOME!” he yelled, slapping Selene.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAjIzKO83j
Selene fell and so did Lunar. Selene touched her red cheek for a bit… The aching pain…328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mHXCdp4Fe
“You better bring this kid back before another snow storm arrives… Go and buy me more liquor,” he said before heading into another room.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXBs1w7wQH
Selene stared at Lunar. She heard someone crying. Not in this room. Somewhere else in the house.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfArjnwYurq
She picked Lunar up in her arms and headed towards the bedroom. The floorboards creaked with each step Selene took.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoxi6PPQ4u
When she opened the closet, she saw Luneth in there. She covered her head with her thin, bruised arms.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7KIaWQqj2
“A-are you okay, Luneth?” Selene asked, concern etched all over her face. She put Lunar down and tapped on Luneth’s shoulder.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGr5SP4PCK
“Fa… Father hit me…” Luneth whispered, in between sobs. Selene hugged Luneth and patted her back.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVOiuKZP3M
“It’s okay… Don’t cry. You’re strong,” Selene whispered, wiping Luneth’s tears away. “You’re going to have a little sister!” Selene informed, smiling.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyhEZEpbpa
Luneth blinked rapidly. “A little sister…?” she mumbled before looking at the person wrapped in cloth.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSacSdd3yiW
Selene smiled while she removed the blanket where Lunar was wrapped in. Lunar’s right eye still wasn’t open. Luneth had a big smile on her face.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARnbTLilpR
“What’s her name?” Luneth asked, leaning closer to look at Lunar. She had a look of admiration in her eyes.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8vpGGSGkL
“Her name is Lunar. Similar to yours. You two are going to be the best sisters, mark my words,” Selene answered, brushing a stray strand of hair behind Luneth’s golden hair.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Ux1suLYM
“But… Where are her parents..?” Luneth asked. Selene just shrugged and stood up.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xCdnyYXz6
“Can you help me make food?” she asked, her eyes glistening in the dim light. Luneth looked at Lunar but then nodded.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K9bBKaGz6
“C-can I hold her?” Luneth asked, looking down. Selene chuckled.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kyHWZUabN
"Of course you can. It’s your little sister anyways!” Selene answered, patting Luneth’s head. She waited for her to hold Lunar and then entered the kitchen.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtBr2811Em
When she came in, she saw the shattered glass. “Luneth, don’t come in until I say so!” Selene said, closing the door. She started picking up the shards of glass and throwing it away.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P0JdGB0Xt
Her white hands were stained with her own blood. After a few minutes, she finally cleaned the kitchen.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nk6hjjy5m
She opened the door, just to see Luneth and Lunar quietly sleeping while leaning against the wall. Lunar was in Luneth’s arms.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFnoQYGSfd
Selene’s heart melted at the sight. She picked Luneth up and slowly walked towards the bedroom.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmg3LXAZJz
She laid Luneth down on the bed and went back to get Lunar. She saw the man crouching next to Lunar, staring into her blue eye.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlhOBpeUXs
The man stood up and left the room. Selene just stared at the place where he stood.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjzyAwebei
She brushed her thoughts off and picked Lunar up. As she made her way to the bedroom, Luneth opened the door.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynWkkm8v0W
“Mom… I had a nightmare…” she whispered, a look of fear in her eyes. Her hands were trembling.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT7XPHUyd0
Selene put Lunar on the bed and then pulled Luneth into a hug. “Do you want to talk about it?” she asked softly, reassuring Luneth.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbV8SJFwWM
Luneth calmed down a bit. “F-father… He killed Lunar while we were asleep… Then y-you died…” she whispered, her eyes wide open.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjMT2ZrB9S
Selene sighed. She took Luneth’s hands in hers and looked her in the eyes. “Don’t worry about it… It’s not gonna happen. As long as I’m here, both of you will be safe,” Selene whispered, smiling.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvkd3Bo8w6
Luneth nodded and got on the bed. Selene lit up a candle that was next to the bed and left the room.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUYYZjZKfB
Luneth stared at Lunar. Both of them were awake. Lunar was looking at the ceiling. Her blue eye was glowing.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmrp8sPtRE
“Little sister… I hope we never grow apart from each other…” Luneth whispered slowly before falling into a deep slumber. Lunar fell asleep right after.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNf1nxVVvh
The door creaked open… The man came in. He tiptoed to Lunar. He stared at her face and had a sadistic smile on his face.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNyD29u2aS
“You’ll be the next one…” he said. Lunar couldn’t hear him. Her gaze drifted to his face. She stirred and woke up. She reached her arms out to him.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj0oErylxi
The man’s eyes softened for a few minutes and he lifted her up. She yawned, but no sound came.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ7KQCEzYs
He wiped the blood off her right eye with the sleeve of his shirt. She opened her right eye. It had a white color. As if she was… Half-blind.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3uuTYRoAh
The man leaned closer and inspected her eyes. He puts her back next to Luneth and leaves.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs9kZ4Od6a
He grabbed his coat and put it on his shoulders before leaving the house.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WlqRnqpkI
It was windy… The breezes of wind were cold and harsh. The man puts his hand in his pockets for warmth.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ012VfIXd6W
He saw the door of the basement he had been looking for. He opened it and entered the basement… Stairs led underground.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiz9bh16XP
The man smelled the smoke from the stairs already. He opened the huge gate.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHp3iRCyTL
A few men were sitting on chairs, smoking cigarettes. They looked up as the man entered.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg7pGeZgL5
“Nice to see you again, Kairo…Finally changed your mind?” a man with a scar on his eye asked, looking at the man328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihJb6Ppx0M
The man nodded. “Yes. My wife recently brought a new girl home and… Her eyes seem valuable. You could sell her for a lot,” he answered.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ2YxlGHSL
The man with the scar on his face grinned. “I won’t accept the deal,” he said, taking a long drag from the cigarette.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclIEQfNEdH
“Please, Enzo… I’ll do anything. I’m in need of money,” Kairo pleaded, desperate. Enzo stood up and walked towards him.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AQb84HhpH
He put a knife in his hand. “In two days… Slaughter your wife, and both of the girls. That’s the only way I’ll accept the offer,” Enzo says, smirking.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzGMwzra8z
Kairo looked at the knife. A sadistic smile appeared on his face. “I’ve been doing this for years… Three more won’t hurt, right?” he asked, tilting his head.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqGTbwxF55
Enzo nodded. “Bring the bodies here after you’re done. I’ll pay you… Two thousand ryx,” Enzo added.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5PJUGJseQ
Kairo’s smile widened even more. “Alright… I’ll be here in two days,” Kairo informed before leaving.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNjJB66JFl
The men started laughing. A blonde haired man with blue eyes smirked. “He does anything for money, doesn’t he? I want to make a deal with him someday…” he mumbled.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQOY5odUgH
Enzo stared at the man. “What kind of deal are you planning to make then, Cain?” he asked.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNCcId1Hfu
“Just an… order to kill someone for me. The queen of Nirvenia… That old hag,” Cain answered. The butler chuckled.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhr8KgHhw2
“Still striving for revenge? She didn’t pay you because you didn’t kill him,” the butler said.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw3Orz5iqV
Cain scowled. “If he can’t do it I’ll kill her with my own hands,” he said, rage flickering in his eyes.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8w5r0ABY8
Enzo smiled. “We can just get one of those girls to poison the queen…” he thought.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75BQuIu10q
A man with black long hair and grey eyes stood in the corner of the room, arms crossed. He didn't say anything.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk58zGTqPu
Back at the house, Kairo took his coat off. Selene was home. “We’re running short on ryx, I can’t buy liquor anym-...” before she could finish her sentence, he cut her off.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsbZmwMCYM
“Don’t worry about that. I’ll get it myself,” he interfered. Selene raised her eyebrows.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjkKp5mdVd
“How will you get it without ryx…?” she asked. Kairo ignored her question and laid down on the couch. He fell asleep.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQizjGLViC
Selene sighed. He was always like this. So suspicious… She entered the kitchen and started cooking.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9V57k7wBI
The aroma of the food filled the house as she finished making tomato soup. It was the usual food in Grimveil, which was located in the southern part of Nirvenia.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tF084JblX
The village was old, most parts covered in dust. Even though a lot of people lived here, most of them wouldn’t have enough food to eat.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenC3qcKzsT
It was cold and snow was found in every corner, even in the summer.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE5YrXaEQW
Luneth woke up. She was debating on whether to wake Lunar up or let her sleep. Luneth gently taps on Lunar’s shoulder and Lunar wakes up. “we have to go eat… I think…” she mumbled.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53YxpvJAuP
She picked Lunar up and headed towards the kitchen. Luneth was eight years old. Born on the fourth of Ryreth, which was the sixth month of the calendar.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRh9bDtCpg
The months were; Voreth, Moreth, Kareth, Zareth, Ryreth, Vereth, Mureth, Tereth, Asreth, Noreth, Gareth and Xareth.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MLW1KnIRZ
Each month had 36 days. A day lasts 24 hours.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwPTKFmuIw
Luneth puts Lunar down on the table and sits on a chair. Selene smiled at the sight of her daughter getting along with Lunar. “Did you sleep well?” Selene asked.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7OI8s53TV
Luneth’s eyes lit up. “Yes! I had a dream about me and Lunar becoming queens!” Luneth says, enthusiastic.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHfw38XQ91
Selene pats Luneth’s head. “That’s nice… I made your favorite soup!” she said, grinning. Luneth’s eyes sparkle.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsFeVU75n3
“Thanks, mom! You’re the best!” Luneth reacted, eating the soup in the bowl.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDGZgwgtWy
Lunar just stared at the bowl in front of her. Selene sat down and slowly fed her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebONMWXogJ
For the first time, Lunar smiled. It was like a silent ‘thank you’. Selene’s heart melted. She knew… This child was promising.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeGGs0oRp2
Night approached after a long time… Somewhere in the house, a person was sharpening a knife…
