Chapter 21: Priestess of the Moon

"The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen."

"So, if you're not a pervert, then what are you?" Uhh... How am I suppose to answer this question? I don't think she'll believe me if I told her I mistook her for someone else, right?

"Hmmm?" She tilts her head waiting for my answer as she covers herself with a robe.

"Uhh... If I told you that you look like someone important to me that I've been searching for, for months, would you believe me?" She just smiled at me and said.

"Ofcourse I will believe you, Shin. You're the son of the greatest hero, afterall." I see, thank God she- Wait... How does she know my name? I never mentioned it to her and this is the first time we've seen each other!

I looked at her with questioning look and that's when she realized that she said my name despite me not telling her what it was.

"Ara~, I unconsciously said your name, didn't I? My bad." She said and laughed softly. "Anyways, you thought I was your little sister, didn't you?"

"Yes but... How did you know my name?" I'm sure I've never met her before, and gramps nor my parents say something about her in the past.

"I know everything about you, Shin. After all, I've been watching you all this time, my fated lover." She leaned close to me and touched my lips while grinning! But huh?! What did she just said?! Fated what?! It's getting even more confusing.

"W-Wa-Wait, wait." I said as I continue to step back and try to widen the gap between us. "It's getting even more confusing. You?! My fated lover?! What does that even mean?!"

We just met right?! She can't expect me to believe anything that she says just because she knows me!

"Pfft... You're so funny, Shin!" She said and started laughing hard!

What is wrong with her?! Doesn't she know that I'm being serious here?! She's making me seriously pissed right now!

"I'm just kidding, but there's a reason why I'm actually here." She stopped laughing and looked at me seriously.

I waited for her to say something but she handed me an elemental stone. It's white. It contains a highly concentrated light magic. But why is she giving it to me?

"Your father asked me to give this to you, Shin. He already know what will happen, so he and Sir Lionheart agreed that you'll be the one to end this war."

This is from my father? But... How does she know what's going to happen? What's her connection to my father and uncle Lionheart?! It still doesn't make any sense...

"I'm still confused, and I don't even know who you are. Who are you, really?" She looked and me with a faint smile and utter some words.

"From the light of the sun, and the glory of the moon. I, the priestess calls upon thee."

She starts to float and a blinding light envelops her entire body. I can't take my eyes off of her as the light disappeared little by little as she slowly descends from the sky.

She smiled at me and held both of my hands.

"I'm the daughter of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, and Moon God Tsukiyomi. The Priestess of the Moon, Kaguya." She said and kissed me on my cheeks.
