Chapter 14 The Magic of the Stones
They heard a movement from the shadows and veered their sights towards it.
"Anyone there?" Rana asked.
Julienne came from hiding behind the darkness of the trees wearing a very big teasing smile on her face.
"Wow! Lovers under the moon sky. I couldn't be more wrong timing than ever, Ran."
She said joining the two who were standing close to each other by the banks of the lake. The bright moon was a witness to them while it reflected its own against the silent waters of the lake. Cicadas could be heard with their gritting sounds sometimes joined by croaks of frogs somewhere.
"We're not lovers, Jules."
"Don't be shy about it, Rana."
"I'm not Mother Julienne," said Rana trying to muster her nun-like voice when caught in an awkward situation.
"But you are of age, my child."
Julienne played along with her making her voice deeper and sounding stricter.
"It's not a crime to fall in love, Rana. Better to admit it than deny

“Enos.” Ethos said in a hoarse voice studying his long-lost brother. As always he stood proud and tall. “How is life living in the human world?” he asked in a derisive tone. “Good,” Shane replied simply. Ethos looked away from him and glanced at Julienne. “I see you’ve brought a human with you,” Ethos said barely looking at the woman crouched next to Enara. Julienne glared at him. “You don’t have to look down at me,” she said in a fierce voice. He chuckled softly at her reply. “Am I? I’m simply saying you’re human, woman.” He said with disregard in his voice. “Her name’s Julienne,” said Rana tightly. “Thank you for enlightening me that, Enara. What happened to you, my love?” Ethos asked, his voice softening at her. He crouched before her still lying body. He touched her head. Rana looked at him darkly. “Don’t touch me,” she said, sharply. “Still mad at me, Enara?”
Love Under The Moon Sky Chapter 16 Lunara
They walked on the lake water and reached the center of the lake where the moon was reflected on the water. The white orb of the moon mirrored on the still water. They stood across from each other. Enara removed her necklace while Enos removed his bracelet and dropped them together on the white-filled circle of the moon water.A white beam of light emerged from the reflected moon circle shooting white light straight into a line upwards towards the full moon in the sky. The water soon rose out of the lake building a cylindrical narrow channel of wall water tunnel ahead. A door was formed made of water and moon earth overlapping each other and a golden knob formed from mixed gold and opal.Enos opened the door.Enara looked inside. The tunnel was dark but she was soon caught in amazement and fascination how slowly the dark channel sprouted with flowers blooming from the depth of the unseen darkness under and grew on the surface ahead. Lilies, water lilies, and oth
Love Under The Moon Sky Chapter 17 An Unwelcomed Return
Shane, Helios, and Ethos with Rana on his back walked on the lake water and reached the bank. They touched the dry ground. The sudden rustling of the leaves sounded as birds flew out of the trees. Birds chirping above the trees were heard. The frogs croaked from the lake and on the ground. Midnight at Lunara already felt like dawn as the sun was already out in the sky. Midnight was actually dawn in the City of the Moon as it was very different from the normal human world. They walked down the cliff and found Ethiara at the foot of the mountain. She was waiting for them along with a servant. Ethiara is a robust young woman with wavy dark brown hair and cool silver eyes. She was wearing a light brown woven dress and a long wooden necklace hung around her neck. A dark red soft cottony shawl wrapped her shoulders. The servant beside was a slenderer woman and slightly older to her by three years. Her name was Anisa. She had been in Ethi

Rana stared at Helios for a full minute before she collected herself. She removed her hands from Shane. “That doesn’t surprise me,” she said trying to sound calm. “Maybe a bit. But I haven’t really expected it.” Rana looked again at Helios and asked him. “When’s the trial?” “It’s scheduled next month,” he answered directly. “It’d be the fifteenth.” Rana expelled a deep breath. “Guess, I have to pay the consequences of my thoughtlessness,” she muttered to herself and looked down at her blankets. “I’ll be there with you, Rana.” Shane automatically said trying to hold her hands again. Rana clasped her hands and looked at him and gave him a smile. “Thanks, Shane. I really appreciate that.” “Don’t worry, Enara,” said Helios putting a smile on his face to ease up the situation. “We’ll all be with you. We’ll do our best to help you out.” Rana mustered another smile on her face as she loo

“Why must Enara be punished for my crimes?” Shane asked angrily. His fists were clenched. One of them was on the table, the other on his side.“It’s not your fault that you were lost in the portal when you were eight years old,” Rana said trying to assuage Shane’s anger. She sat opposite him inside the wide living room. Her eyes were looking outside at the bright beam of the sun in their green-trimmed yard.“You’re not a criminal, Enos. You were a kid when that accident happened. It wasn’t your fault.” Rana said looking back at him.“But you are to die here because you tried your best to search for me and you even lost your memory because of it,” Shane said with tensed jaws. “In the end, you must die because of it?”He asked feeling incredulous and murderous at the verdict of Enara’s fugitive action ten years ago.“You don’t have to die for m
Love Under The Moon Sky Chapter 20 Second Chance
The next day came with looming anticipation. It wasn’t precisely a bright day like the weather was empathic of the day to come and what was about to happen. It was partially gray in the skies. The blue sky was covered with the glum white clouds. There was no sun at sight. Rana was dressed in white robes as she walked to the high ground where she would be executed. Her arms were bound by tight ropes behind her. Two guards walked beside her as she was brought to the ground. She looked at the tall blade that hung above her. Rana felt surprisingly calm as her head was raised above. She looked everywhere around her. The townspeople were gathered at a far distance to watch her. The jury and the Elders of the Council were gathered at a closer distance. The Elders sat atop a raised stadium. At least ten guards watched the post where she would be executed. She looked down at the ground below her. The ground was roc
Love Under The Moon Sky Chapter 21 Always Forever
Rana and Shane were standing before the wildflowers of the desert looking ahead of them in the wide flower field where they used to spend so much time together playing when they were still children. Rana had a straw hat on her head while wearing a comfortable floral dress and a pair of cream sandals. Shane wore a moss green shirt, a pair of khaki pants, and a pair of slippers.“Feels like a lifetime since we’ve been here,” Rana said as she admired the blossoms of wildflowers that span as far as her sight could reach.The wind around them blew gaily. The ground smelled of wildflowers.Shane expelled a soft sigh from his lips as he looked at the scenic view before them. The mountains could be traced from the horizon.“Yeah, you’re right, Enara. It’s been so long ago. I now wonder what it feels like to be a kid again.”Rana laughed at his statement. Her cheeks were turning pink as she laughed with mirth.

Rana and Shane stared at the spot Ethos left after he went out of the room without saying another word. A tense silence hung around the room after he left. Rana moved and took a glass of green tea. “I don’t believe that guy,” said Ethiara as she picked a biscuit and put it in her mouth. “He doesn’t even have the gall to congratulate you but rather opposed to your upcoming wedding. What an insolent man.” She shot a look at Rana but shifted her gaze to Shane. “Do you have the date set already?” Rana looked quizzically at Shane. Shane turned his gaze back at Ethiara and shook his head. “We don’t have a date yet,” he informed her. Helios took a drink before speaking. He put the glass on the table. “When do you plan to hold the wedding?” “We haven’t talked about it yet,” Rana said as she held the glass in her hands. “We can hold it in a month,” Shane suggested as he bit into a biscuit. Rana looked at hi
