Moonlight Butterfly Horn Novels & Stories

--- Zaya’s Trial – The Moonhorn Elk Zaya stepped into the circle, her Lycan form partly shifted. Her eyes glowed, claws out, ready to fight. The air was still and quiet. From the mist, a tall, glowing creature appeared. It was the Moonhorn Elk, its silver antlers shining softly. Its eyes were calm and wise. Zaya frowned. “This is it?” She ran straight at it, fast and strong. She tried to strike, but the Elk vanished. It appeared behind her.

And even from here, I could see the faint, ethereal glow pulsing from within it. The Moonfire Orchid. I picked the lock on the glass door and slipped inside. It was a simple mechanism. Likely because Lycans relied on strength, not finesse. The air in the sanctuary was warm and thick with the scent of ozone and blooming jasmine. And there, in the center of a raised stone dais, grew the Moonfire Orchid. Its petals were pure silver, glowing with a soft, internal luminescence that seemed to breathe. "Leo," I breathed, tears pricking my eyes. "I found it."

“It’s a Luna Moth. I’ve never seen one before.” Camille reached out to touch the insect. It rose, frantically circled her fingers, and then flew away. Diana widened her eyes. “The Luna Moth is considered one of the most spiritual and mystical guides.” “Why?” Camille asked the witch. Diana watched the creature fly away. “To meet one is a special gift, for when she is in her adult moth stage, she only lives for approximately one week.” Camille frowned. “Why only a week?”

In her hands she held no poison, but a forbidden artifact from the Great Tribunal: a horn carved from ancient bone, inscribed with runes of mass freezing. “If you are not of Silver Moon, you belong to no one, you useless fat cow!” Chloe shrieked in madness, raising the horn to her lips. A deep, ancient and terrifying sound echoed through the Valley of Bones. The ground trembled, and in the blink of an eye, the eastern slope of the ice mountain above the fortress groaned, unleashing an avalanche of rocks and frozen mystical snow that fell directly onto the outpost where we stood. “Maya, watch out!” Lawrence’s roar was instantaneous.

Mino immediately smiled and showed me a butterfly with black wings and a blood-red body. While feeling the overwhelming dread, I hurriedly shoved the butterfly away from his palm. "Entrante! Let's go!" I yelled as I swiftly lifted Kypper and we took off running away from the river. No! We need to get out of here as soon as possible. The terror and pounding in my chest have rendered me virtually deafening. "What's going on?" Mino wondered as he ran alongside me. "That butterfly is a Lastreias!" I exclaimed frightened as I grasped Mino's hand to flee faster. "What the hell is that?" he questioned, perplexed, as we abruptly exited the forest.

I absorbed the moon’s energy to make myself feel better. Beside me, Ronny put his head up and looked right into the moon. He was astounded, freezing for a second with eyes glued to the bright orb in the sky. His hands gave up, letting the box that he held fall down for the second time. “Ronny?” I was startled with this sudden behavior. Ronny’s body was vibrating. He turned at me with glowing orange eyes. I backed down. I knew exactly what it meant. Groaning out of pain, Ronny sprawled on the asphalt. He screamed as his body was changing. Furs growing, nails turned into claws—he shifted into a menacing furry creature.

Then there are some fish with gray-blue-green heads and bright silver-colored bodies, they flash like a light when they turn from side to side, as the light reflects off them. Moonlight moves and I will dive to the bottom, when I reach the bottom I will pick up a pair of Conch Shells. Returning to the top Moonlight is delighted when she sees what I have in my hands, as I give her a conch shell. "Oh Magnus it's beautiful ... the cream, pink, light brown, and bright colors in these shells are amazing!" I tell her that we should put the shells in the sun, next to the house, because the heat from the sun will make little creatures that live in the shells, come out ... “Ewww she answered and lowe

I pointed to the two I could see. "There are six moons in total." Leo's arm brushed against mine, sending prickles of pleasure along my skin. "What about those mists we passed through?" I bent and picked one of the orange flowers. Then brought it to my nose. The petals were shaped like pansies and smelled like tangerines. "These flowers are called tigerspaw." He plucked the flower from my hand and spun it between his fingers. The color was that of a tiger's fur. "Why, tigerspaw?"

“Maren keeps half of these for the kitchen. The rest, we use for healing. Wolves heal fast, but herbs make the process easier.” I crouched beside her, brushing my fingers over a patch of silver-leaved plants. “What’s this one?” “Lunaria,” she said. “Moon herb. Supposedly grows stronger on full moons.” She looked up at me then, her expression softening. “You should come out here when you can’t sleep. It’s quiet, and the air clears your head.” I smiled faintly. “You think I’ll still be here long enough to get bored?”
