Romans & histoires The Moon Over The Ruined Castle

Theo and Jolene sat on the edge of the forest, the castle behind them crumbling under the pressure of the floodwaters. The moonlight cast a silvery glow over the landscape, reflecting off the swirling waters and the shattered remains of Diablo's stronghold. The night was quiet, the distant echoes of the collapsing castle the only sound.

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

The moon shone brightly on the city, and the stars looked like particles of diamonds sprinkled across the night sky. The city was a mess, with broken-down buildings and dirt in every corner. Beggars lay around on the streets, and the sound of crying and yelling could be heard from every corner. The city had lost the beauty and perfection it once had, to the point that nothing at all looked familiar to Mary. She finally made it to the monarch’s castle after a long run. The castle was a tall, cylindrical building made of nothing but unbreakable, tinted glass. The bottom of the building was surrounded by a beautiful garden, and maids and soldiers were positioned at different positions around th

His cold, almost lifeless stare still haunted my mind, giving me goosebumps. I rode my horse up a hill, and once at the top, a vast valley lay before me. My breath caught in my throat as a vast valley stretched out before me, and in the center lay the ruins of what was once Starling Castle. The pile of rubble was massive, and the stones sat inside a wide moat. Though some of the old stone walls still stood, the entirety of the castle was a crumpled mess on the ground, a stark reminder of the chaos and destruction that had taken place.

"Mother said we still had three days until doomsday!" Kaelvor’s smirk deepened. "You don’t believe me?" His voice dripped with mockery. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted, and a strange force rippled through the air. The towering roof above us vanished, dissolving like mist, revealing the vast expanse of the night sky. I gasped as the illusion crumbled entirely—the grand castle was never real. We weren’t inside a fortress at all. Instead, I found myself standing in an open field, the cold earth beneath me, surrounded by flickering torches and swirling shadows.

Moon took a deep breath then looked at the second gate of Moonlight. "It's only been a week but the Moonlight gate has rusted right away." Moon looked at the speaker, Dark. Behind her are Ice, Cloud, Star and Fly. "Because the magic that wraps it around is gone, that's why." Fly said and started walking in. "Magic? There's magic wrapped in it." Star said then went inside the Moonlight gate. "Admiral's magic, he maintains a good atmosphere." Fly said then looked at Moon's direction.

Cassandra muttered. After the moonlight slanted across the meadow by the hillsides, they left the gloomy castle. The tangle of riotous greenery was the same everywhere they looked, a small jungle in the moonlight. Only, now, menace seemed to lurk everywhere as they traversed through the vines and underbrush to the edge of the castle's courtyard.

When nothing took his interest, he replaced the magazine in the seat pocket and tried to take a nap. He drifted in and out of sleep, seeing foreboding images of castles and howling wolves. Clouds drifted over the moon and casted eerie shadows over the walls and towers of a gray medieval castle. The wind blew fiercely, carrying dried leaves from branches of trees and leaving them as bare skeletons silhouetted against the evening sky. The leaden clouds continued to drift overhead and once more revealed the ominous silver moon to the delight of the howling wolves.

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.
