Luna brushed her lavender locks away from her face as she sat up. The glass jar created a cold and unwelcoming world as she started to come to her senses, last she remembered was her colony getting invaded by poachers, she was flying away with Carrie when one of those bastards casted a gray fog that spread across her village.
