The blues in your eyes

Chapter 7

A month has passed since her fateful encounter with the Moon Stone Pack. Emma, having accomplished two missions-one to retrieve a part of the lost relic of the Moon Goddess and the other to quell the uprising of the Shadow Wolves, is now taking a well-rested nap until she is awakened by the sounds of a bell ringing in her ears. 

When Emma opened her eyes, it glowed a brilliant blue. She leaves her quaint cottage, the moonlight casting a silver glow on the surrounding forest and deep into the dense, mysterious woods. Light shed upon her, and soon, a voice speaks to her.

"My child," said the Moon Goddess, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall, her eyes reflecting the night sky, "I've deeply missed you." The Moon Goddess reached her hands on a kneeling Emma and ushered her to stand up as she cradled Emma's face. Emma relishes in her warmth and asks, "What is my next mission, Mother? "Happiness and confidence lace in her tone, but the loyalty and obedience towards her mother truly shine in Emma's eyes.

The Moon Goddess smiled, a radiant glow emanating from her presence. "You have proven yourself, my dear Emma, but there are shadows stirring once again. The balance of our world is at stake."

As she spoke, the forest around them seemed to come alive, rustling leaves whispering secrets from the night breeze. Emma felt the weight of responsibility settle on her shoulders, as did the thrill of purpose.

"The artifact you retrieved is more than a relic; it holds the key to a powerful magic that can seal the rift between our realm and the Shadow Realm," the Moon Goddess explained, her voice soothing yet firm. "But there are those who wish to harness its power for darker purposes."

"What must I do?" Emma asked, determination sparking in her bright blue eyes.

The Moon Goddess gestured towards a distant peak, where the moonlight converged like a beacon. "You must journey to find the last artifact, the true power, the moonstone. But beware—the Shadow Wolves will be hunting you, desperate to seize it first. You must reach it before they do."

Emma nods in respect to the Moon Goddess. The Moon Goddess places a hand on Emma's heart. "Remember, my child, the light within you is stronger than any shadow. Trust in your abilities and in those who stand by you. You are never alone."

With those words echoing in her mind, Emma turned towards the dense woods, the moon's silver glow guiding her path. A sense of calm washed over her as she stepped into the shadows. She knew that this mission would test her, but she would grow stronger with each challenge.

As she ventured deeper, the forest seemed to shift, revealing glimpses of the challenges ahead—dark silhouettes flitting between the trees and ominous whispers carried by the wind. Emma steeled herself, the warmth of her mother's love lighting her way. She was ready to face whatever awaited her, a warrior of the Moon Goddess.
