Moon Over River Novels & Stories

They looked up at the moon, now high in the sky, and smiled at each other. "That was the best night ever," River said, her voice barely above a whisper. Thane nodded, his eyes shining with agreement. "Definitely," he said. "I'm so glad we get to do this together." River smiled and nuzzled him gently. "Me too," she said. "Me too." As they lay there, wrapped in each other's arms, the forest grew quiet around them. The only sound was the distant howling of wolves, and the soft rustling of leaves in the wind.

But Leon was with me, and I did not wish him to think me ridiculous in my conduct. I made my way towards the moon, and in the courtyard of the castle a meandering river flowed slowly round it. In the moonlight it looked like a beautiful ribbon of silver that covered the river. Thanks to my werewolf vision, I could see the river flowing toward another range. It was a lofty peak, crowned by a dome-shaped house, around which a faint glow of candlelight was visible. From a distance, it looks like a shining star standing on top of a mountain. “What’s that?” I pointed to the dim light on the distant mountain peak and asked Leon, “Does someone live there?”

“Some say the Moon Goddess uses the Red Moon to correct her mistakes. Like granting second-chance mates. Or pulling destined ones from hiding.” A mix of dread and excitement bubbled in my stomach. Dread from crossing paths with the past. Or whatever the Moon had in store. “Come on,” Mariah said, linking her arm with mine. “Let’s go cool off at the riverside.” The river lay just beyond the edge of the market, hidden by drooping willows and wildflowers that brushed our ankles. The water sparkled beneath the sunlight, calm and inviting, as if the Moon Goddess herself had blessed it.

Per Beta Jansen’s command to check the sturdiness of the bridge we built. Well, if it doesn't go well, we’ll basically be picked up as drowned corpses in the unrelenting river below. Good thing we managed to cross and return in one piece. As I hoped, the bridge remained solid under our feet. Thank the Moon Goddess for that. Although I wouldn’t mind if Alpha Cain’s car will pass here and eventually find himself dropping in a cruel height and plunging into the Marianne River dramatically. It would be a fucking great scene to watch, I suppose.

Very soon. The river entered inside the Witch Mountains and penetrated the canyon. They had arrived. Sounds of apes could be heard on both sides of the river. The scenery was as beautiful as a picture because there were green mountains and blue waters. A melodious sound was heard. Luna, who was behind Alex, suddenly took out the Sky-Devil Zither and played a zither tune. With a pair of bare jaded feet and sitting horizontally on the Sword of the Universe, Luna gently plucked the zither with her fingers, and a beautiful tune like high mountains and flowing water was played. The tune complemented the surrounding scenery perfectly.

Under the river bed, a huge crescent-shaped being began to break through the river bed and slowly rise. "Moon Palace in the water, you finally appeared!"

She quickly searched something. Her hands trembled while looking at the screen. The new lunar month was going to start tomorrow and therefore today was no moon tonight. She looked up at Xavier who's eyes were glowing and his fangs were ready to attack his prey. Star didn't have much time to think. She quickly got up and walked towards him who was sitting on the floor breathing heavily. She sat down set to him and cupped his face. "Go.... away." Xavier's breathing was ragged. He didn't want to hurt her and it was difficult for him to control his inner demon.

Zeus asked his mother in curiosity. Zeus: What is going on with him? Maria: What do you mean? Zeus: Why is he acting like this? Is everything okay? Maria: Everything's fine dear. Your brother has a girlfriend now. Zeus: Wait what? Moon reached first at the lake and was waiting for Ocean. He was getting bored, so he decided to swim in the lake. He stripped off his clothes and jumped in the water. Ocean just heard a splash, like someone jumped in the water. She reached the lake side. She saw Moon's clothes but he wasn't there. She sat on the ground, knowing that he must be in the lake, swimming. Time passed by but he didn't come out. Ocean got worried but she couldn't do anything, she didn't k

“Together.” He seemed to consider that. Then he nodded, satisfied, and ran off to rejoin the whirlwind swallowing Rowan’s legs. I straightened. The lanterns rose. Over Mooncrest. Over Nightveil. Over Bloodthorn. Three rivers of light flowing toward the same sky, held aloft not by curses or contracts, but by hands that had decided, stubbornly, to keep lifting.

🎀CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT🎀 Moonlight spread across the celestial river, turning the water silver. The river rested at the peak of the mountain, high above the world, so close to the moon it felt unreal. The air was cold and thin, filled with a quiet power that pressed against the skin. Asher stepped forward. The moment his foot touched the water, his breath caught. It burned, yet soothed at the same time, like fire and ice moving together. He didn’t stop.
