Moon Over River Novels & Stories

It’s a new moon day, so the sky is only filled with stars, and there is a certain beauty to it as well. The tree line ends as we come facing the Great Genecy river, which gushes down the land straight into the human kingdoms, getting broader by the second. All through its length that lies within the Lunar woods, the banks are littered with milky white pebbles instead of the usual black ones. This is said to be because of the Moon Goddess’s blessing she bestowed on the river ages ago when she was still walking amongst us. The wolves and I make out way to the edges of the river, panting, and dip our heads to take a drink of water. The water of the Genecy is as cold as ice, heavy, and refreshin

The girl threw herself off the bridge, her white dress billowing like a butterfly with broken wings. The foam disappeared into the river. In the crowded traffic on the bridge, the busy night scene mixed with the tired eyes of people returning home, leaving only the white figure behind. The waning moon hung blood red in the dark sky like a theatrical curtain. The bat wings twisted and turned, creating a dark and eerie dance. Parker looked down at the gloomy river, where passing cars' headlights flickered briefly before disappearing. The water was black and cold, giving the impression of staring into an abyss without a bottom.

“But I’m sure he’s fine. If something really bad happened to Lucas, I’d feel it… right?” Mark nods, reassuring me like he actually knows the answer. “Yeah. So take it easy.” I take a deep breath, push the door open, and step out. Mark follows, stretching his arms as he takes in the scenery. The river stretches out in front of us, massive and endless, the moonlight making the water shimmer like something out of a dream. It’s past midnight now, and everything is too quiet, just the sound of the waves and an occasional owl hooting somewhere in the distance.

I could hear the gentle lapping of the river against the rocks, harmonizing with the symphony of nature's nighttime chorus. I stood at the edge of the river, my heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. The moon cast an eerie glow upon the water, illuminating the scene with its pale light. The air around me felt heavy, as if carrying a weighty secret. Suddenly, a spectral figure emerged from the river's depths, ethereal and otherworldly. Its translucent form seemed to shimmer with a haunting radiance. I watched in awe as the figure spoke, its voice echoing through the night.

He pulled me on his lap and kissed me deeply. "Then the answer is a yes?" He mumbled between my lips. "Yes." I grinned. "Let me show you something." He said with a smile. "Okay. Let's go." We stepped out of the car as we came face to face with the big river. But when we walked to the bank of the river, the mind-blowing view took my breath away. I felt my mouth automatically hung open. There was a full moon and stars in the dark sky. A crystal clear reflection of the moon fell on the dark blue water of the river.

The other part was the real basement which was below the ground. Dara’s room window opened to the garden which was at the back of the house. It was a big garden. Cold wind blew and the moon looked beautiful than anything. She put her ear phones on and played hers and Wade’s favorite song. She sang softly with the song and watched the moon as it shined. “O for I can’t help falling in love with you!” she sang. After the song finished, she thought to go to her bed and get some sleep as she was feeling tired and sleepy now.

I find myself beside Lily, cradling her youngest pup snugly in a blanket, as an unearthly stillness envelops us. We linger by the river, where the moonlight casts a spiritual glow, revealing a mysterious path that dances across the water's surface. The pack hangs in the shadows, their heads lowered, emitting an offbeat whimper that hangs heavy in the air, thick with sorrow.

So that I will no longer be a burden to them. I decided to breath in air first, I sat on the side of the river. I am focused on watching the stars in the sky. The glittering objects above are now on the surface reflecting themselves into the clear water coming from the river. I stared at the water, until something hit my eyes on the part where it was dark. Because there is a part of it where the tree covers the water, so the moon does not shine on it, and there is no reflection of the stars. But I was surprised when there was something circle in shape that’s shining over there. It glows gradually, until the light gradually grows stronger. My gaze was really steady over there.

Something gentle but powerful was growing between us. We hadn't confessed. We hadn't rushed. But I could feel it—steady, patient, unshakable. Just when I thought our story would unfold slowly… something unexpected happened. The warriors came to lead me to Moon River. The path was covered with white roses, the trees adorned with crystal ornaments, and above us, fireworks burst into the sky— scattering light into the night like falling stars. And there he was— Leo, standing beneath the moonlight, his eyes locked onto mine,

The nearer I got to her, the higher the water rose— it was now on my neck. “I want to go with you.” The rush of the water that once parted finally closed and my mother disappeared. I struggled to stay afloat from the big splashes of the waterfalls, my body slowly sank. Wolves started to appear and waited on the banks of the river. The sky turned dark and the full moon revealed itself. The light of the moon illuminated the waterfalls and I gazed away from its bright light. In unison, the wolves stood up and faced the moon. They howled.
