Moon Led Journey Across Another World Novels & Stories

The male eyed the room where the sounds of the party originated from, but slowly swam to the side to let me through. With a slight nod, I hurried into the room. That couldn't have gone much worse. The room unfolded before me, and I nearly halted in disbelief. I forced myself to continue, feeling the guard's lingering gaze on my back. An enormous, white golden room greeted me. The dome overhead portrayed the moon in intricate detail, a marvel beyond description. Even the craters of the moon were painted, and I couldn't help but feel the magic of the earth's satellite. Viewing the moon made me strangely closer to Earth.

"And what were you so wrong about, Mads? We're natural enemies. Born to hate each other. Cursed to love the same woman. The sun and the moon, right?" I ducked my head, walking into his room. We were still in the Milky Way, and I could see Earth clearly from my vantage point through his window. The moon circled it. Even as it got further away. "What do you see out there, Javier?" He sighed. "What's the point of this?" "Humor me." Javier sighed, closing his door and joining me by the window. "I see Earth. Trapped between the sun and the moon. A battle for attention. Split between day and night. Is that what you want me to say?"

Andrei asked. The Moon Goddess tilted her head. “Don’t worry. You will return to your bed as soon as it’s over,” she said simply. As she spoke, she rose from the rock, and the water in the pool stilled around her feet as she stepped off of it. She walked right across the surface and stepped onto the ledge where we were sitting. Stopping in front of us, she raised one hand, and the grotto fell away. What replaced it was something I could only describe as a memory that didn’t belong to me. We were nowhere and everywhere at once, standing on no ground, watching a sky that was familiar in the worst possible way—red and churning, split through with black.

he murmurs, his golden glow flickering like a dying ember. “How many?” Ryland growls. Silas winces. “Too many.” --- We plunge into the trees, the moon a fractured sliver through the branches. Selene stumbles, her breaths shallow. “The ground’s angry, Mommy. It wants to swallow us.” I hoist her onto my back. “Hold tight.”

"But it is the only way to save the world." She raised her hands, and the gravity failed. I floated upward, unable to control my own limbs, as Maya stepped off the ground and began to drift toward the descending moon. The wolves howled, a sound of triumph, as the moon opened its eye wide, ready to swallow her whole.

"Thomas, Damian begin the Coda-Lock." ​On the Moon, Thomas and Damian stood on either side of the Silver Monolith. They didn't speak. They sang. They sang the "Song of the Spheres" that Lyra had taught them, their voices blending into a single, dissonant chord that resonated through the lunar crust. ​The Monolith didn't glow gold. It turned a brilliant, piercing Silver-Blue. A beam of concentrated Negative Space shot upward, not toward the Sun, but toward the deep-space coordinates that the Golden Map had revealed.

I dropped my gaze instantly and asked before chewing onto my lips, "Anything else I can get you, s-sir?" "No, sweetheart." He darkly chuckled. Just as I was about to walk off this uncomfortable scene, I felt a burn on my skin. The moonlight had escaped the drapes of the clouds finally and it was lighting up the terrace with its own enigma. But why burn? Isn't the moon an epitome of cool and calm? I shrieked when I realised the burn that was flaming on my skin was actually, under my skin. With a clatter, the champagne glasses on the tray shattered on the floor. Luckily, the sound of music drowned it out but didn't stop the fact it poured all down the back of someone.

"In the place where the first bond was made. The mountain at the edge of the world." "When?" "Now." --- I gathered a small team. Dax. Farrah. Morwen. Sol. The wolves who had been with me from the beginning. The journey took three weeks. The mountain was taller than any I'd seen, its peak lost in clouds. At its base, a cave—not dark, glowing. "She's inside," Morwen said. "Alone?" "Not alone. Luna is with her." I walked into the cave. --- The Moon Goddess was not what I expected.
