Beyond The Moonlit Sea Novels & Stories

None of it seemed important. The sea stretched endlessly before her. Blue and silver. Sunlight dancing across the surface. Waves rolled toward shore in long white lines. The horizon seemed impossible. A place where sky and water simply decided to become one. No walls. No borders. No ending. Just the distance. More distance than she'd ever seen in her life. The sea didn't look large. It looked infinite. Selene forgot to breathe. Forgot to blink. Forgot everything except staring. The sound she'd heard earlier reached them clearly now. The countless waves. Endlessly arriving. Endlessly retreating. The rhythm of something ancient. Something that had existed long before kingdoms or before crowns.

Ronin’s gaze was fixated on the distant horizon as he leaned on the cruise ship’s rail, soaking in the dazzling moon hanging from the black sky, so close to diving into the ocean, but not quite there yet. It was as if the moon was too terrified to take a chance at the last minute, as if realizing that if it let it go this once, it may never recover from what it would lose in that one moment of recklessness.

When they awoke, they found themselves in a place unlike any they had ever seen – a realm of shadows and moonlight, where the rules of reality seemed to bend and twist with each passing moment. As they gazed out upon the strange landscape before them, Elias knew that their adventure had only just begun. And as they ventured forth into the unknown, he vowed to protect Kate with his very life, no matter what dangers lay ahead. For theirs was a love that transcended time and space, a love that would endure even the darkest of trials. And together, they would face whatever challenges came their way, united in their quest for truth, adventure, and moonlit love.

I thrash, legs kicking against the frame, bit it’s like fighting a wall made of molten lava. I’m out before i can protest again, his strength terrifies me precisely and he slams the door shut and pins me between him and the cliff’s edge. “Stop, let me go.” He grunts lowly and turns me around and my eyes widen. The world stops breathing. The sea glitters below us, a wound of light across the dark. The moon, bloated and brilliant, hangs over the horizon as if a god watching in silence and admiring it. Waves crash, and the wind dances through my hair.

Jennifer bluntly remarked as she crossed her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes at them. Nobody retaliated to her words anymore and the silence crawled into the atmosphere back again, until Primo notified them that they’re close to the destination because of the sea now being visible. Georgia was prompted to roll down the window, so did the woman beside her. The crescent moon reflected on the sea so visibly, though its light appeared to be like a sprinkle of dust on the sea. It’s beautiful. The salt air ran through her hair as its cool touch brushed through her skin. It’s already dark, but the hue complementing it makes the view aesthetically pleasing.

“There’s a difference.” I sat on the other side of the creek, the cold water flowing between us like it wanted to keep us apart. Moonlight spilled across the surface, pooling silver between us. It painted Eirween’s face in light and shadow, making her look older, wiser, untouchable. I didn’t answer. My fingers trailed in the water, feeling it slip through them, carrying everything away like time, like him. “I miss him,” I finally said. “Malen.” Her eyes softened slightly, but her voice stayed even. “It is not wrong to grieve for the dead. What matters is that you’re able to find strength in grief and push forward.”

Again, he was the only thing my eyes still could see inside this dark sea, again he came to my rescue but just the difference is this time I didn’t need it. When he closed on my, I pushed his chest ruthlessly and without any mercy, not caring if I hurt him with my paws and swam back up on my own. The dark sea took pity on me and the waves went little calm when I tried to reach the shore. The beach was shining under the light of moon goddess. It looked too beautiful for this tragedy that was happening.

The road was surprisingly well paved despite its remoteness, the black asphalt shot off into the distance and eventually disappeared from view under the looming mountain range. It was getting dark by the time the first signs of the Silver Moon’s territory came into view. The light turned blue as the last dying rays of the sun tried and failed miserably to cut through the thick cloud. The wind had picked up considerably and the scent of sea air hit them as they closed in on the pack house. Even all these miles away from the coast Daniel could tell the sea was rough, wild, unpredictable and dangerous. 'We have company.' Slade muttered through the mind-link.

When I was five, I was always excited whenever it was time for bed. My Grandma Momma will cook our dinner. Let me brush my teeth and comb my long hair. And after that, she will put me into bed and bedtime stories will follow. She told me a lot of fantasy stories, but my favorite was the pirate of the Lost Sea named Escarial. He was the epitome of perfection. Gentleman, handsome, a knight in shining armor to most of the ladies in their land, and most of all, he caught the heart of the brave princess, Athalia.

The waning moon's small crescent shape was a silver glitter against the dark water of the Caribbean sea. Just before Leo closed the door, I heard the soft rumble of applause as Bastian began his speech inside. The door sealed with a soft thud, separating Leo and me from the rest of the world. It was warm and dark out here, and still thrumming with the magic of Bastian and Ava's reunion. I wanted to be in a world with just Leo, even if it was only for a moment. Even if I couldn't really have him, I wanted this moment.
