The Dark side of the Moon

The Magical Memories

"Where did you say this happened?" I ask.

"The entrance of the castle." Aruna says as we walk through the long halls towards the entrance. Since I haven't yet, as I walked in I really took in the scene.

We walk down the large set of stairs leading into the front foyer it was massive with a red large red carrier leading in and pillars arranged on the side. When you look up and the roof was almost rounded to a point at the top where the two curved ends of the roof met. Along the curves there was carefully arranged glass. Dark blue flags dangles down, from that height they seems so small but I can't imagine how much bigger they are face to face.

I forgot how amazing this castle looked!

"Alright this is it.." Aruna says. I look at her, she's really trying hard to fight back her tears, I can see them pooling up in her eyes.

I gently rub her back trying to reassure her again.
"It's okay. You got this." I say smiling. She nods. "Whenever you're ready!"

With that Aruna steps towards the middle of the foyer trying to figure out the exact place it happened.
Depending on how big we want our projections of our memories to be, we would need the exact amount of space it happened in. The foyer seemed like an obvious choice.

"I think I've found the exact spot!" Aruna says.

"Okay now you remember how to do the spell, Right?" I ask.

"Yes. I do." She says.

"Okay. I'm ready when you are." I say walking to stand next to her.

She takes a breath in and focuses on the memory. After a while tiny gold flares started circling us growing bigger and multiplying by the second, the memory had started to form. I do not recall that the spell had looked like this, it used to look like a hologram of what happened not a storm of it. Soon enough the magic started to form a person, a man! I look even closer but not close enough to get caught up in the spell. It was Maxwell!

I really do miss my little brother and my favourite person in the world. His big blue eyes and his blonde hair always covering his eyes. I told him to cut it multiple times but he wouldn't because he wanted to "look cool". What I wouldn't give just to see him again, to know that he's okay and to tell him that there's nothing to worry about. His family is safe.

The magical imitations (holograms) of Maxwell and Aruna fully formed and started replaying the memory before my eyes.

"What happened? Where's Esmeray?" Maxwell demanded entering the castle.

Aruna couldn't speak, her face was stained with tears and her eyes were red from crying, she wasn't able to stand still. She was on the ground not able to keep herself together.

Tears start forming in my eyes. She really did love me didn't she. I just betrayed her for what? Some people to like me? No it's more complicated then that. Do not think negative thoughts not now!

Turning back to the memory I watch Maxwell absolutely losing it.

"Where is she?" He yelled. I was shocked at his outburst, that's not Max!

"I- I couldn't stop her.." Aruna managed to get out. "I tried to get her out of it- but it completely took over her mind and body... she was possessed!"

Max's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe it. "Where is she now?"

"I-" Aruna fights the urge to scream. She stares at the moon. And there my symbol, my crescent, the symbol of the Moon Goddess carved into the moon. It looked like the moon waxing facing upwards with little designs on the moon, lines pull up from the design to form almost somewhat of a flower in the middle.
