After about five hours of running the group finally decided to rest. "OwooooOwhuoooOoo!" A wolf howled happily at her.

"She said, 'Thank you for saving us your majesty.'" Beca translated.

"What do you mean by Your Majesty?" Luna asked.

"Well, according to a prophecy and well, your bloodline if the prophecy is correct, You're to be the next Moon Queen." Beca replied.

"Beca... what?" Luna raised an eyebrow at the rabbit. "Yeah... sorry for dumping all that on you." "So let me get this straight, you're saying I'm the next Moon Queen? According to the stories... The last Moon Queen died about two hundred years ago. You're saying that me, An average village girl, is going to be THE Moon Queen out of nowhere?" Luna questioned.

All the creatures just nodded. "I don't even know what this prophecy-thing is!" "Well," Beca sighed "an old prophecy, passed on generation and generation. It appeared when the Four Rulers of Sky were all killed by Exium, The Ruler of Destruction. It spoke in detail about who the next prophesied rulers would be. You fit the next Moon Queens description perfectly! The prophecy that helped all creatures of this planet get through the times of no sun or moon and when both light and darkness became duller, just might be coming true."

"I... I don't know if I'm really the person you're looking for but, I'll try to help the best I can." Luna said, trying to calm her mind. "But, anything I should know about the last Moon Queen?" Luna asked.

"I'll tell you a story then." Beca cleared her throat. "Once there was a young queen named Echo she was very kind and generous. With her power she kept the moon in the sky. The King of destruction, Exium wanted Queen Echo's and the other Rulers of the Sky's power. The only way to get their powers was to kill them. They all fought valiantly but, they still fell one by one. Echo was the third to die."

Everyone was solemn as they thought about the stories they were told as children. Beca broke the silence.

"It wasn't until about ten years ago Exium decided to return. He ravaged many settlements and killed many of us creatures. Some say he just seemed to know something changed and he felt threatened." "But, if so many villages were attacked, why was mine safe?" Luna wondered

A firefly hummed something into Beca's ear to translate. "He says that something must've been protecting you."

Beca than turned to the beat of footsteps coming towards them as it got closer they could hear growling. "Jaguars, RUN!"
