I climbed into a tree and looked down at the town. It looked like something out of a child’s storybook. The colors were bright and cheerful. Even the pathways were colorful, mostly a pale purple. A castle’s towers peaked above the town. A faint dusting of snow covered the rooftops. Houses ringed the city and business buildings were inside of that. The central point of the city was the regal castle. I stared at the roads. I noticed a vibrant plum colored road ran through the city, all the way to the other side.
I didn’t note any lodging for myself within the city. I decided that I would simply have to sleep in the woods one more night- however; I felt that I should walk through the city. So I swung lightly to the ground.
As I walked into the town, lovely twinkling lights greeted me. I smiled in return as I walked through the city. I understood that the lights were left on at all hours, for the moon was at its peak, but I did not understand why. This baffled me, yet I continued on.
I peered with interest at all of the buildings. There was a simple café and several dress shops. A market was set up, though vacant. Jewelry stores and furniture shops were present as well, along with many others. The shops were unnamed, but displays in their windows made it clear what the shop had to sell. Similar shops were painted in similar hues.
Swarcon. It was beautiful, and beckoned to me. I thought I would at least rest and spend a few days here. I only had a few coins- not that they would be of any use to me here. They were Itorian. I sighed. I knew I would spend my nights in the treetops, staring at the moon, or sleeping. I would have to be awake during the day.
My passage was silent and unseen. Elated, I walked through the town, seeing how alive it would be in the daytime. Secretly, I hoped for another spirit. Any nocturnal one was fine with me. It was too much to hope for another Spirit of the Moon- therefore, I did not. I contented myself with hoping for a companion- preferably, the Angel.
Finally, I reached what must have been the eastern side of town, as the path ended. Large woods beckoned to me, and I happily ran into the forest. I climbed into the tallest tree and bid my time. Waiting.
Waiting for daylight. Waiting for my future.
