The Legend Of Moon

Prologue

A soft sigh escaped my lips as we sat down on the grass with the whole gang, staring down at the setting sun and the rising moon. Shades of several red, orange and yellow colors painted the sky. A soft breeze of air hummed through our hair. "Beautiful, don't you think?" I nodded, looking as if nature was the only peace left in the world. "I wish I could see this every day", remarked Lili, a soft smile creeping on her face. "You could if you took the time for it." Moon's voice echoed lightly in my head, speaking on a monotone volume as always without looking anyone in the eye or showing any emotion. "That's not possible, remember the cloudy nights during the winter?", I asked in protest to protect Lili's reaction. But he just shrugged it off like it was nothing, staring up to the sky. "Whenever you want to see something, you just have to look. Those who won't look, won't see." All of us felt silent until none could find the words to break the comfortable silence. The sunset made pirouettes of rainbows, allowing all of us to get lost in the view, forgetting yesterday's worries. The moment felt so real, even when it seemed like I dreamed. "Remember", Lili finally started a converstation, "the first day you arrived at Trogcross Academy?" Her hazel-like eyes met Moon's golden irisses halfway as he watched her smile with a mask. "I remember", I answered, making Lili turn her gaze towards me with a happy face. "He just came into class on his very first day and had already made a great impression with the girls." "That's not something I want to know." She pouted and held Moon's hand tight, squeezing it tightly as to show he was hers and hers only. "But he indeed made a big impression on his first day by both girls and boys." The positivity in her eyes shone as she agreed, returning back some memories. "I recall how he pissed off Kenny just by his lookings." Her voice was in a soft whisper as I looked at my friend. Silver bags of his hair covered his forehead as well as half of his eyes. "But I also recall how you embarrassed yourself in front of the class on your first day, Lili. Just as much as how I remember that you starting calling all the ciphers of pi as far as you knew just to impress the teacher, Thomas", he told us to make us shut up. "What did I do?" His eyes met mine with a low : "I can hear you thinking." The sun started dying down, spreading her last colors as all of us turned their gaze back to the horizon. Moons words repeated a few times, making me chuckle softly as I nodded with a thought running trough my head : "Back then, I had no idea who you really were either... Moon."
