Moonscar Island Novels & Stories

"Just try to delay your wedding for now, I need some time to figure everything out." "Dad, you can figure out whatever you want after my wedding too. Here have some water and tell me the reason why you're delaying it!" Mara spoke. Beta Daniel must have compiled as the sound of glass hitting the tables empty crackled through the air. "We are doubtful that the Blood Moon pack might not stay in peace with us anymore and attack us in the next few weeks." My feet froze on the ground; I have heard of that pack name before. But I don't remember clearly in what context. Why did it seem so familiar? With my curiosity peaking, I stepped closer and perked up my ear.

"Quel, can you take me to the cliff?" "What cliff? Are you planning to jump and kill yourself?" I snorted. "Nope, I just wanna breath the fresh air. Another thing is, I love the tranquility of that place. You know, the cliff where you brought me last, last day?" "Come on, Jha. We both know you just want a better view of the moon." "Argh! Of course!" I exaggeratingly screamed. "Did you know that the Polynesian islanders of the Pacific Ocean say that the moon is a creator goddess named Hina and the women called wahines are her representative in the world." I proudly said.

Arlo continued. Arlo sat back next to Scarlett and looked at an article on his laptop with the headline, ‘Super Blood Moon, which only happens once every 100 years, will be visible in the Maldives tonight!’

They needed a place that Aethelgard couldn't touch, a place where they could gather their strength and find a way to fight back. Selene looked at the Archive records on her tablet. She said there was a location mentioned in the oldest scrolls, a place called the Moon’s Cradle. It was an ancient Silverback stronghold, hidden deep within the coastal ranges, protected by the same lunar energy that powered the well. She said it was a myth to most, but the Archive gave the exact coordinates.

Kael replied. “Helpful explanation.” He gave her a small smile. “They tell the story of the Twenty Moons.” Luna ran her fingers across one of the glowing carvings. The moment she touched it, a powerful wave of energy rushed through her. Her vision exploded with light. Suddenly she wasn’t standing in the stone circle anymore. She was somewhere else. A massive sky stretched above her. Twenty enormous moons filled the darkness, glowing in different colors—silver, blue, violet, gold.

The group of young adults settled for a bonfire when the sun goes down, immediately replaced by a blue glowing full moon. Not once in the whole of their existence had seen a moon as beautiful as this one before. It was like they landed in whole different planet entirely. This couldn't help but add to their excitement of exploring the island the next day. Mr Mickelson had explain everything they needed to know the day before, after dinner. Everything they needed was made available and stocked in the store room. They could also get a map if they want.

Then the clouds came. The second the sun was hiding behind the clouds, the loudest shriek Liam had ever heard in his life erupted from behind him. He turned, but he was too slow. A figure in a black cloak had grabbed him and lifted him a solid foot from the ground. It’s hands were cold, clammy, and strong. Liam struggled to breathe, crying out in pain. He could feel his neck being crushed under the weight of this...creature’s...strength, and he kicked and struggled as hard as he could. Liam could hear the sounds of the townsfolk fleeing, knocking over chairs and each other to get away from the cloaked figure. Liam took a second to look into it’s eyes, determined to see who was attacking him.

They were a small tribe, at first, living on the northern shores of Sevardokin, the largest island in the Lovin archipelago. The wind blew across the grass field. Hjolt looked up to a moon. The visage of the moon changed, the craters became a laughing skull. He thought that he's imaging things. He looked again, on the surface of the moon a laughing skull clearly stood. There was no use debating. The skull became larger and darker. He looked around, there was nothing, the field was gone. There, in front of him, stood a dune. A real dune, he wasn't seeing things. He walked.
