The redden moon.

It once appeared a million years ago. No one knew the exact time where it first appeared. No one knew what causes such unfathomable calamity. Yet one thing is for certain, this 'redden moon' calls - no, but rather brings forth the darkness that plagues the mind and the soul of every living. It'll devoid every possible salvation. It'll cause unhappiness. And bring forth misfortune beyond saving. While all tainted souls and heart are fed in the mouth of the avaricious abyss; where the gates of the shunned ominous personification of evil will be set free and will roam around the surface. Taking all of the innocence of the living then succumb them into the darkness.

They said that in that unfaithful time where the world had fallen, a light was given as the last resort of those who still believes. This flickering light was nurtured and bloomed as the only savior of the falling world. Using the gathered prayers and dreams of the believers the gates were shunned back in the depths of the abyss taking all of the malice back down where it rots. Yet despite the saving grace an unavoidable sacrifice has been made.

In exchange for the restoration, the flickering light that had bloom for the sake of saving was taken. Embracing the darkness, that light was shattered into pieces beyond repair. And no one will be able to remember to that saving grace.

A million years ago the once fallen world had regain back all its light. Creating a new but same world where all loved mortals are given the same laws, everything is at peace.

The once known redden moon never appeared ever since that day. The once terror filled nights became a time where all at rest despite of being devoid from the light and warm of the days brings. The darkness that looms in that time had been forgotten and became a legend to scare the children but little they know the unwavering eyes of the darkness has always been waiting for the right time. The right time where the corrupted flower blooms and bears the fruit and soon will call forth the redden moon.


Its dark... where am I?

Unknown to him he felt his words echoed around the old deep home. If it fits to be called one but known to him it is a home, his home. A home with no corners, windows, or even a door but a large hole up ahead. The only part he likes in his little stifling home. Remembering even if there are things worth of remembering he never seen anyone but himself. He didn't even know how he learned like the words to now use to speak. He didn't even know who taught him to breathe, to see, to touch, or even to eat. If only he had seen someone like him he would have thought he is abandoned.

Abandoned?

His train of thoughts ceased when his mind caught this single word; who knows who taught him this. But he felt that this word carry solitude and sorrow for a living like him. Unconsciously his golden slit eyes trailed down from the shining thing above his head and landed to a pile of bones across him. Yet not too far because his home was only capable of two person space. He reached for the head; he calls it because the holes are exactly located in him as well, feeling the enigmatically soft skull studying the structure once again in a millionth time repetition that he knows it like the back of his hand. He run his fingertips in between the discernible shallow gaps of the skull. Thinking that this skull must belong to someone he was with that he can't remember. Feeling the hallow void in his heart he felt a tears coming out from his eyes.

Reaching to touch this unfathomable water that is now freely flowing from his eyes. He wondered if there are more like this in there. He look-up again seeing how beautifully that shiny round thing above his head as a smile creeps on his cracked lips.

Closing his eyes smile remains in his lips he gave a prayer.

Oh beautiful, forgive me for not knowing what you might be but please stay with me and fill this void a felt. And I promise you when I am free I will find you even if it means to cross in endless time.
