The Rejected Luna
My heart ached, a painful reminder of how out of place I felt here.
The music stopped, the clearing became eerily quiet, and my father stepped forward, his eyes scanning through crowd.
"Tonight, we honor Selene, the goddess of love and light," his voice thundered, filled with authority and pride.
"Under the loving gaze of the moon goddess, I pray we find our halves, a soul tied to ours for eternity," my father recited the rites.
" May the moon guide us," we chorused, our eyes closed as we whispered a quick prayer.
