Moonlight Drawn By The Clouds Novels & Stories

Ralas looked up at the full moon in the sky. At this time, there was a dark cloud slowly drifting towards the full moon, as if it was about to present the miraculous sight of a lunar eclipse. This night was destined to be extraordinary.

Drake Calloway still picked on me, followed by cold laughter from the other boy and the wolf. “Stop it, Drake.” Nathan came between us. “Why don’t we all go to the spring? I heard the Moon Goddess sometimes appears in the Full Moon.” “You still believe that bedtime story?” Bryan Waltz, the one with curly hair, chuckled. He patted the wolf next to him. “I think even Elliott no longer believes it—and he’s only ten.”

Rain asked Cloud. "I know none of you like to read." He said then leaned back in his chair. We teased and joked all night while Red would come down from time to time to get food. This is my first day in Moonlight, it was ugly at first but because I know Rain and Shadow as well as Zero, the time spent while I'm here in Moonlight has been good.

Suddenly dark clouds emerged in the sky and the weather changed in the blink of an eye. The Blue Moon was slowly shrouded in black clouds and Jungkun looked at the moon from the corner of his eyes. A smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips. As the clouds filled the moon, the blue light from the moon disappeared. Once again, black darkness hovered above the forest and the bright night of the forest vanished.

“But I won’t condemn him without proof either.” Liam turns toward me. “And if proof comes too late?” The question cuts deeper than he knows. “Then I’ll carry that weight,” I reply. “Like I carry everything else.” I don’t go to the hollow that day. That decision haunts me almost immediately. Because by nightfall, the Moon does something she hasn’t done since the trial. She marks the land. Silver light bleeds through the clouds, not bright—focused. It traces lines across the territory, igniting runes long dormant, all converging toward one place.

"Because I asked you to." So, I stayed. I sat on the east wing window seat with the curtain pulled back three inches with my notebook in my lap and nothing written in it, while I watched the grounds. The perimeter lights ran in a chain along the north wall and bent around the west corner and the gap between them. At midnight the grounds were still. At twelve-eleven they weren't. Two figures moved through the exact gap with deliberateness like they had memorised where the light stopped. They weren’t running; rather they were walking, low and fast, following the line of the treeline along the north edge where the shadow was deepest.

KARA My feet dangled off the edge of the cliff as I drank in the picture painted below. Thick, white clouds of fog blanketed the sprawling forest even as the stars winked brightly above. My fingers itched to touch the waxing crescent moon pinned into the navy sky, wanting to feel if the points were as sharp as they looked even if my brain knew it was all a trick of the shadows.

It was a dark evening with cool gentle breeze, the beauty of the sunless sky obscured by mocking rain clouds, the sounds of the dry leaves on the ground, complaining how unfair it was that they had been cast down from the trees and the response of their comrades, affirming to hang on and continue the struggle against the wind. The clouds had moved a bit permitting a little light from the full moon, that glowed into the distant lake below and the lake in turn returning the favour by reflecting the beauty of its heavenly counterpart. The deem glow casting a shadow upon the trees and flowers as the night grew darker; everything emitted such undeniable beauty and calm.

The wind picks up as the ocean tide pulls me toward the water's edge. With each step out to sea, my footprints sink further and further into the sandbar. My feet create ripples every time a new step is taken. The moon is still out and comes and goes between the clouds. It hovers in the clouds with a soft brightness that only nocturnal creatures understand. Between the mist, the voice, and my desire to heed the message of the song, something or someone stops me from proceeding into the blackness of my destiny.

Xavier replied, and they both started walking along the jogging track in that place, enjoying the cool and refreshing night air. Karina looked up at the sky and noticed that the full moon was partially covered by clouds. "What a shame that the full moon is hidden like this. It would have looked beautiful," Karina murmured. Xavier also looked up and saw the clouds obscuring the moon. "It seems the clouds are starting to move," he said. Karina looked again and smiled happily. "Oh, yes."
