Novel & Cerita Moon Led Journey Across Another World

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.

"Where are they? Where will I be going?" "They are in a pack called Mystic Moon. They are in California. We will call her and make arrangements for a flight. You need to go pack now." I looked at Ma, who was crying. I went over to her, "I am so sorry. You can't come with me?" "No, we can't. Our lives are here. We are hidden here. We have obligations here. We just can't leave." I hugged Ma as we cried together. Once I let her go, I walked upstairs and started packing. I could hear Pa on the phone with his sister Leila. This would be my new life. But where did Krewe fit into this?

I call back over my shoulder. …… ~ Moxie ~ “It’s not working.” Randall pleads out to me through the mind-link. “Just a little long.” “Luna, we have been out here for hours. The moon is at her highest, we can’t let him get near human territory.” “That’s why we are tracking him Randall.” I seethe through gritted teeth. I am not going back now, not when we have been tracking him for hours already ….there is only this. I can’t bear to think about another failure.

Like what they’ve done with life. The rusty moon fits this year: the world’s and Helen's own. Her very personal one that she wouldn't even tell the diary about, because writing about it would be too painful. For the world it isn't over yet: the year of longing in which the moon began to rust. For Helen it will be soon enough. In three steps, beneath a rusty moon, in a rigid time, and someday it will hopefully be hollowed out by water, so the world can move again.

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.

I got to know about where we were heading to from the conversations of the soldiers. As we got to the center, I realized that even though it was luxurious, its walls had similar inscriptions to the first underground prison that I had been kidnapped at. Like prisoners, we were all pushed out of the van, as the dragged us into the auction center. As we walked into the venue, the deep feeling of tension and uncertainty hit me like an iceberg. I realized that I was about to be sold in a strange land. Maybe, it was the destiny which the moon goddess had designed for me.

All I knew was to run away. My running stopped as soon as I reached a lake. I have no clue where this lake was or how far I had come but I knew I was still in the pack land. I could sense the borders pull just some meters away from where I stood. Glad that it was a full moon night, I collapsed by the lake's bank that imitated the role of a mirror. The clear water of the lake reflected the round moon like an acrylic painting on a huge irregular shaped canvas. One word; breathtaking. Though I didn't intend to ruin the pretty picture, my throat was absolutely parched. Tongue lapping at the water in desperation, I slowly slid myself in the water to calm the aching of my muscles.

"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.

He had repented. Why would the Moon be so cruel? What was the meaning of that cryptic message? Will I be needed again? Will my father survive? Why won’t he give me answers? "Please, wait!" I shouted. "What about you?" He smiled—radiant, peaceful. "I’ve completed my sentence. The Moon is letting me go home. Time flows differently here. In your world, a single day passes, while we experience many." He extended his palm into the dark void, and a beautiful woman stepped forward. A soft presence. A gentle smile. Her long hair shimmered like moonlight, and her eyes sparkled with light. She didn’t speak, but her gaze was kind and full of depth.
