Lunar Night

--Chapter Three--

   A few hours later Nome woke up on the forest floor. A dense forest surrounds her. She looked around before looking up at the sky, the moon shone down on her. It was Midnight.

Nome stood up and wandered a bit until she found a path made out of stone. She followed the path, picking up a stick to defend herself from whatever lurks in the dark. Nome eventually found a small village. Looks like a small group of people lived here. She explored the small village a bit. The village leads to a cliff. She looked down the cliff. It's a straight fall into the ocean.

Then out of nowhere, torches started to light up. Nome was startled by this. A person dressed in a monk robe came from one of the houses, then a few more people, then more, until the entire village population came out.

A quiet raspy voice greeted her, "Hello my little child. How are you?", "uhm.. first of all, where am I? And second, who are you?", Nome responded.

"We are the followers of the moon.", "The followers of what?". The people started to lift their hands, pointing at the bright shining Moon"

Nome stood in confusion, followers of the moon? What are they babbling about? "Listen, your little moon club is cool and all. But I need to get home, now.", "But my child, you are home. This is your home. You are now one of us!", "What! No! I never said that!", "You'll soon be enlightened by the wisdom of the Moon", "Wisdom of the... what? You guys are weird people! I'm leaving!". Nome started to run, maneuvering through houses and trees. The moon followers soon gave chase. Nome ran frantically through the dense forest. She'd stumble and run into trees a lot. It's a dark forest with only the moon lighting the forest. The Moon followers knew the area in and out so they quickly surrounded Nome, stopping her from leaving the place.
