Monster of the Moon

The Origin of Monsters

The monster was born in the darkness of night without the grace of the sun to shine upon it. It was born in a dark and dank cave overtaken by plants. Not far was a small village home to the creatures of day. The village looked small and cozy with smaller creatures of day, as the monster took to calling them, roaming around and playing with each other. The taller and larger ones took to doing other tasks around the village.

During the infant years of the monster there was little to do. The Monster stayed in the cave and at Sunset when the monster rose from its sleep did it wake up to find a pile of food (Mainly fruits and berries) at the entrance of its cave. The infant monster went up to the food and brought it into its cave to feast on. As time went on and the monster grew slowly but steadily the village was increasing. The monster now at a Stage in its life where it became curious of the many things around it. The monster slowly moved out of its cave and into the night with the bright light of the moon shining down on it. As the monster explored it came across a large crystal clear lake. As the monster approached the lake it gazed into and saw its appearance for the first time in its life. The monster gazes at its appearance entranced by its white Scales and Hair. The pale skin from never stepping into the sun and vibrant purple eyes. As the monster moves forward with its lower body being that of a snake its looks at the branch like horns on its head the seem to have white flowers on them. Her body not covered by anything as she looks deep into the water.

To busy gazing in the water the monster doesn't notice a small creature of day walking in the forest torwards the lake. As the creature walked torwards the lake the say the Monster of Night looking into the water. The tiny creature of day was stunned by the beauty of the scene and attempted to move forward. The creature of day stepped on a twig causing the monster to look in the direction of the day creature. They stared at each other before a slow cracking noise was heard. The creature of day looked down and saw that they were slowly turning to stone. Their face twisted into one of fear and despair before fully turning to stone. The monster witnessing this event quickly went back to its cave.

Two days later the village was in an uproar due to the missing creature of day. The older ones went to the village to find the small creature of day. As time passed the never found them. Only an odd statue staring at a lake in fear. Years passed with the the Monster growing into its teenage years and the Village growing bigger. The Monster hasn't seen any creatures of day in the forest at night after the incident and has been hiding in her cave. The occasional animal would come in and help her or spend time with her.

*Time Skip*

The Monster is now in its adulthood stage and the village has now grown into a large town. After a century of living in the forest the flora and fauna have grown turning the dark forest into a beautiful lush grove. At night the monster goes out of her cave and into the night heading to the lake. Once the Monster arrives at the lake she sees a person with black and green hair standing at the edge facing the lake. The monster slowly approaches the being and looks at them warily before the being turns around to look at the monster.

"Ahh~ it seems you finally arrived. I have been waiting to meet you." The mysterious person says to the monster.

The monster tilts her head as she looks at the person standing in front of her. The monster notices her appearance os similar to the creatures of day but the energy surrounding her is frightening. The aura causes the monster to shrink away a bit.

"Now now no need to be scared. I have come here to give you a gift for surviving this long my child. I shall bestow upon you a name."

The Monster looks confused at the situation and gazes at the person in her eyes. The eyes of the mystery person are black with hints of green around the edges of the pupil. Her eyes seem to swallow the monster leaving the monster paralyzed in fear. The person looks away and up at the moon.

"What would be a fitting name for you...."

The person puts a hand on her chin and goes to inspect the monster. After a few minutes of this she would clap her hands scaring the monster before backing up and looking at her.

"I got it! Your name shall be Vanya." The mysterious lady exclaims excitedly and looks at the now newly named Vanya.

Vanya looks at the mystery person and starts to feel dizzy. She sees black spots cloud her vision and she eventually passes out. The person who named her smiles and picks up Vanya carefully and takes her back to the cave.

Vanya eventually wakes up to find out she feels different. She would get up and stretches before looking around her cave and freezing. The cave looks completely different from before where it looked like your average cave plus bedding. Now the cave had furniture there was a table and a cushion. The bed was essentially a massive circular pillow that was purple in color. The walls were completely different compared to the grays of the rock walls. Now the walls are decorated with colorful crystals and on the roof of the cave was small purple lanterns.

"Wh... what happened here?"

"I decided to decorate your home for you."

Vanya jumped up and turned to face the person who named her as well as decorated her home. They stare at each other before Vanya looks away nervously causing the other to chuckle.

"Th-thank you..."

"It is quite alright Vanya after all you are my child and I can't have any of my children living in such a dirty and undesirable place such as what this cave was like before I came. Now then I think it would be time for me to leave. I'll let you get comfortable with your new self and home."

The person waves and starts to leave the cave. Before she can leave Vanya asks for the name of the person but the person just smirks and disappears as if she was a mirage.

".... I hope I can see her again." Vanya looks around her home before going and laying on her giant purple bed. Which is practically a giant pillow.
