It's been over 60 years since the last Supermoon. The next one scheduled for almost 30 years.
And I was determined to capture this beautiful phenomenon.
Who knew I'd be brought face to face with one of the many creatures of the night.
And the most...
Luke and I walked, hand in hand, to where the mere-people inhabit.
As soon as I laid my eyes upon him, I knew he was my mate.
It surprised me, honestly.
I've been alive for a very, very, very long time, searching for my mate for a large portion of it. So when Luke suddenly walked into my territory, subsequently activating the mating bond that has been sleeping within the both of us, I was quite shocked.
I'm sure he felt the mating bond as well. I could easily see him visibly shiver and shudder at my touch.
And if that didn't excite me...
When I look into Luke's gleaming brown eyes, all I want to do is protect, cherish, and love my beloved destined one.
I glanced over at Luke, who was looking around in excitement and awe. A light blush dusted his cheeks.
He was holding onto my hand tightly, almost like a little kid who went to the zoo for the first time. It was cute.
After a few more minutes of walking later, we had reached the oasis the mere-people inhabited.

There were splashes and laughs. Talking filled the area.
Luke and I stepped through the vines and bush surrounding their home.
One of the guppies, Ivan, turned around and spotted us. "Malachi!" He yelled running over to us. He jumped up and I caught him in my arms.
The yell of Ivan alerted the others of our presence.
"M-Master Valentine! Sir w-what are you d-doing h-here?" An elderly man stuttered, most likely in fear and surprise. He was the group's elder, Tanako. The leader if you'd say. I knew him when he was just a tiny guppy.
He used to adore me. We would play hide and seek together in the woods. When he would get into trouble, I was the one to discipline him.
But that was many years ago. Almost a century.
While I stayed youthful, the people around me, my friends would leave this world. They'd change and come to fear me.
And I fucking hated it.
But... Luke wasn't like that. He doesn't fear me even though I told him what I was.
For the first time in my many millennias, I felt some type of love. Some type of normalcy.
For once, I might actually have someone to love; to care for and treasure.
And I'll be damned if that were to be taken away from me. My mate.
