The Blood Moon Ascendance
In my heart, I harbored a skepticism born from the lessons of a world where trust was a fragile commodity, easily shattered by the machinations of the powerful.
As I prepared to embark on this uncertain journey, the wild mouse - loyal little adorable critter it was - seemed to sense the gravity of my decision. It perched on the edge of the table, its small eyes glistening with a mixture of curiosity and understanding. In that fleeting moment, a silent pact was forged – a vow to tread carefully, to navigate the murky waters of intrigue with as much caution as I could. I swear sometimes the sheer awareness that mouse shows creeps me out like heck.
