Luna
Luna’s name was curiously as related to moon as her uncanny life events were.
First was the birth of the girl. The New Moon. As soon as she came out of the womb, the nurses around her immeaditely noticed her eyes. They were unlike any other eyes seen before. They were silver and speckled with little dots almost looking like crators.
The Waxing Cresent was the next. Instead of growing like a normal child, Luna grew at an extreemly slow pace compaired to her brother, Solar.
The Frst Quarter is when her smile began to fade. No one appreciated her anymore.
The Waxing Gibbous was the saddest part. People only noticed Solar, who was the talk of the town, and Luna was once again forgotten.
Then came the Full Moon. The day she met him, Com Eit, the love of her life who would soon propose and marry her.
With her own veriosn of the Waning Gibbous came her first children, Astise and Astroi, twins. They were beautiful, but did so much damage to her energy her entire person started to fade away.
The Last Quater brough reflection. Reflection about her choices, her life, and her love of Com. She found that she was finally happy.
And with the Waning Cresent, Luna slowly and quiltly faded into the night.
