Moon Over Ruined Castle Novels & Stories

Aurora POV The crimson moon pack stretched out before us. Dunes as far as the eye could see as we drove over the tumbling grains of sand. The heat was unbearable. Part of me wanted to wring out my top from the sweat that had accumulated. I’m not sure how Kara survived in this heat. A large sandstone wall surrounds the Crimson Moon Pack. Rows upon rows spiral up the top until finally an enormous castle sits. The place has turrets, towers, and gateways. When a sandstone occurs, the entire pack is lost, blending in with the surroundings. They hardly ever have invasions because anyone heading towards the pack is picked out like a fly in a glass of milk. The drawbridge lowers and then we make our

My curiosity piqued, I furrowed my brows. "Explain what things?" Without uttering a word, Liam stood up, extending his hand toward me. I accepted the gesture, and together, we walked to the balcony of my room. The balcony offered a panoramic view of the sprawling kingdom beneath us. Moonlight bathed the landscape in a silvery glow, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The castle, perched on a hill, stood as a majestic sentinel overlooking the fertile valleys and meadows that stretched out in the moonlit night.

I retorted. "Hmph! You're just a coward. I am confident, strong, and brave, yet I'm bound by someone as weak, powerless, and foolish as you. It's truly unfair," she continued to criticize me. "Get away!" I blocked Rose, but I couldn't block the desire permeating the air. I tossed and turned, restless and uneasy. I looked outside the window; the deep blue sky was adorned with drifting clouds, and a full moon hung among the treetops, casting a gentle glow over everything like a thin veil. The chorus of insects filled the night, playing the symphony of nature. A strong desire surged within me. I longed to tread on the muddy ground, to feel the softness of the grass under my feet. I yearned to r

Andros alerted and we travelled down a steep hill before taking the path straight to where a ruined castle stood. I knew this castle from history but never thought that it would exist. It was said that the moon goddess once resided in this castle deep in the forest before her Ascension to heavens which was caused by a war which broke out between her and the god of the vampires. I had always thought that it was mere fables but staring at it now and remembering what I had read, it was all a true story.

Lalaine was shocked when she found Stella laying on the floor, the moon light illuminates her like flittering lights in the night. The crystal orbs surrounds her, slowly lifting her from the ground. She immediately called out Nana, Aeriol, Nathaniel, and Lynx. Aeriol immediately pull out Stella from the illuminating light and lay her to bed. Nathaniel and Lynx looks out the window and saw a beautiful red rose. As if the moon light blessing it. The more light it absorb, the radiant the color gets. Lynx trails back to Leis last words.

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.

Realizing what her friend was thinking, Selena rolled her eyes and waved a dismissing hand at her. The moon's reddish hue in contrast with the starry sky, reflected by the black sea, the solitary ship floating alight dimly through its windows, coupled with the sound of the crashing waves, seemed so surreal to Selena. When the picture couldn't get even more magical, a floating castle suddenly graced her sight, popping into existence as if it had always been there. With a castle hovering so close to the moon, both girls sat straight, their eyes wide and jaws dropping, their hearts beating wildly in their chest. "Is that a castle?" Cynthia asked, snatching Selena's arm and shaking her. "Hey, pi

I wait til I hear feel the cold air drifting into the kitchen and the soft sound of a door closing before glancing into the hallway again. Through the doors glass I could see Embers back to me. The left side of her body was eliminated white from the moon and her hair looked like silver threads as they hung down her back. Creeping towards the door she shifts and a second later a see a silvery gold wolf dashing across the snow, her body low as she ran.

But before I could cross the space between us, the air shifted. It started as a faint hum in the floor beneath my feet. Then the chandeliers rattled. One of the guards stiffened. “Blood moon.” The words carried like a curse, and all at once, the castle trembled. The sky outside burned red, spilling its glow through the tall windows, staining the marble floors like spilled wine. My pulse spiked. The last blood moon had brought whispers of her, Samira. But whispers could be ignored. This… could not.

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.
