How The Moon Was Created

Chapter 5: Firefly Cove

Luna walked through the dark forest, admiring all the beautiful, glowing plants along the way, her eyes distant.

'I wonder what happened to Beca... Also her husband! I feel bad for her... What secrets does this forest hold? How come the village hunters don't notice these things? What's really happening here...' Luna thought as she let her mind wonder.

As she walked she saw something in the distance. It looked like a cove with a weird light inside. As she wandered in she realized she couldn't go any deeper in without going into at least waist deep water.

Looking up she saw how beautiful the cove was.

The cove was bright, lit up by many bioluminescent plants and gorgeous fireflies. The water was a beautiful shade of blue and it was crystal clear. Glowing koi fish swam peacefully through the tranquil waters. The cove looked as if one of the gods had blessed it.

Fireflies then came towards her. The light show was beautiful as the fireflies flew in loops and circles. But the fireflies looked like they were leading her somewhere. She followed them ignoring the water that now drenched her, just admiring their beauty.

Then at the end of the cove she saw a beautiful throne. It had blue and silver gems embedded in it and, above the throne it had a glowing orb. Luna had never seen anything like it.

Then she, felt something strange, like the orb was calling her. But, as she reached out to the orb hideous brown beetles started to attack the fireflies and everything went black.
