Black, black, the skies were as dark as the starless night. There was nothing here and nothing there. Silence, that's how everything was. No sound, no movement, nothing was everything. Nothing existed; there were only floating moons, dark moons with no life, no light. Floating on by every moment of their lives- until two, two the same size and shape-identical in every way. Never witnessed, never heard but oh how bright and magnificent it truly was. As worlds were forming together from the far reaches of the galaxy - a small glimmer of hope emerged. The sun - as they called it - shone brighter than any other fire, bringing warmth and light to everything within its magnificent path. Light now overcame the dark shadows and gave the moon their glistening reflection.

Ages after the creation of light- a massive asteroid came flying through space, leaving a blue trail from the sun went along and hit an even bigger comet that just so happened to also be in the area, this impact forced the larger comet to circle the new born star for the rest of time. The two comets merged together and made a planet. There were so many pieces left of the comet, chunks of the debris off of the impact created really small islands floating around the main one, the atmosphere around the planet was so big- it thankfully stretched across to the floating islands and beyond. The main planet was accompanied by a lovely celestial body, a grand moon. Such a Grande architecture-the planet itself was shaped like a heart, although one side of it was smaller due to the size difference of what used to be two comets.

within the three celestials bodies were three powerful beings, gods, lords, spirits, their name different matter. The oldest resided in the moon, then one resided in the earth, and the youngest resided in the sun. The three things-beings I should say got curious as is natural in their nature to see what they can do with their newfound homes, so they worked together to stop just floating around in space. they eventually gained enough power to leave their original bodies and gained their name. Agnitus the sun God, Gaia of the earth and Sin who later came to be known as Sin of the moon. Gods, Gods of the new world. Together they created the continents, life and all the elements that reside there. Well, at least that's how the story goes.

Now, all the continents have their own names, with their own rules and leaders. Although there are the three greatest kingdoms that stretch far across a continent, the Sol kingdom, the Gia Kingdom and the Moonia kingdom, this sadly, is the evilest continent-the residents and beasts there are the utmost evilest beings alive ranging from Warlocks, cultists, demons and monsters alike, none who live there are of kind of heart. The Moonian is the name given to the beings from the moon continent and they are not treated well in the other continents due to distrust and paranoia of the land itself.

Now back to the story, this story begins in a hillside at sunset in the beginnings of himmers. A little girl had fallen down. She fell down a hillside, her foot had been caught on a stray branch from a tree at the top of the hillside, this in turn had caused her to stumble and begin to tumble down. The little girl would drag her hand down the hill to try and hold herself, to stop herself from falling further, though having no luck at her side, she would cut her hands on some loose rocks in the dirt as she fell. She did try her best to stop turning and rolling but alas, the hill itself was too steep and hard to grasp in her tries. She must have looked, what, five or six years old. She eventually came to a sudden halt when a tree tugged and grabbed her at the bottom of the hill, stopping her fall. Thankful it didn't snap right away, the little girl swayed there, a bit winded from the sudden grasp otherwise alright. She would soon stop crying, rubbing her eyes of the tears that spilt out of her eyes in her fall as she was scared. She dangled there in the tree for a couple of long minutes collecting her mind, quiet. She then got distracted as two young boys at the same age as her, came.

They approached her slowly as a way to not startle her. The boys wore expensive-looking clothing - showing that they have high status indeed. The one wore bright golden clothes adorning a crown, the details of which she couldn't quite yet see, whilst the other had red-brown scaled clothing, he adorned his own crown too. They looked down at her as she looked up confused she was only an inch off the floor, the one boy gave her a sympathized smile and asked her-

''Are you ok?" as he helped her off the tree that snagged at her clothes, once-off she collapsed to the floor, to relax, letting her tired, cut, and bruised body to settle. .

She nodded-somehow in understanding their strange language, her memory was lacklustre, nothing sticking or fading into her head, not for a moment.

"Luna, that is my name" she told the two, she was anxious and scared of the two but she hid it well. She curled herself in, hopeless for what to do or say, she had no idea what was happening, she was clearly lost and alone, she had no idea what she was doing on top of that hill.

"I'm Leo! "The blonde boy replied happily and loudly. Joyful to see a new face. He bent down and helped the little girl up to stand on her feet once she was ready to move, he wouldn't rush her exactly but he is still a child at the end of the day.

"And this is my best friend Koda, where are your parents? Oh! And what happened to you? "Leo is a very curious boy. Unfortunately, Koda is the very opposite type of child, he didn't look too bothered as he knew they shouldn't be this far away from their home.

Such a kind soul, Leo didn't know what else to do so the young boy decided to take the initiative and had snuck Luna into his home palace- he explained to her that this was the dragoligh palace also known as the palace of Light, mostly known across though As Sol castle, names change over time. Either way he and his parents lived, Koda then explained how he was over for a visit, he lived too far away for them to sneak Luna into his home plus the travel would be more difficult to complete with the trip being with his parents too. Luna had seemed a bit faint and dizzy for the longer she was in the bright sunlight. So the boys had decided to bring her to the darkest place in the palace- the crystal cave that can be found underneath the palace, the only people who know of the cave are the general and the royals. 

Unfortunately, they did not know that this particular cave is where the general dragon Ignol has chosen to live as usually his place of rest was a secret that hasn't been told to the young prince just yet...

Out of nowhere, a loud, dark and sharp voice sounding sonorous was resonating from a darkened corner of the cave, 

"And look at what the little prancing boys brought me-food perhaps?", the voice had mocked the two boys with a huff a little irritated from just being woken up from a rather pleasant sleep..

The three children were more than startled by the voice jumping a mile, Koda would be the worst hiding slightly behind Leo while Luna herself just stood there, she didn't know the area so it wasn't like she could just run off to safety. . Leo shook his head as Luna hid behind Koda who looked very fed up with the day he's been having, she herself had never seen a dragon before so she was unsure of it and its intentions.

Leo began to plead to the grand dragon he saw before him, "We were planning on hiding her here-the sun seems to be making her faint from the head and... so can she stay with you? Please, Ignol?" he was respectful, for a child, to those he deemed worth not to anger at least. Apparently he knew that he shouldn't mess with a dragon, especially not the General.

Ignol was a very patient dragon to say the least, been in many battles, laid witness to many feats, but two hours of a small child he couldn't eat begging and pleading for the girl to stay with him eventually wore down the dragon. He would look down at the small girl who hid behind Leo, tilting his head as he ordered for him to shut up finally. He wanted to see if it was worth the trouble. She seemed quiet and didn't show any disrespect to him or the other two boys. The dragon would study her for a few more minutes before huffing out some fire into the ceiling of his cave. "FINE!" he told them. "You may stay, if you listen, if you are well, I do not take nonsense, I will make you a small room somewhere in my cave, Leo...Koda ask one Michael to come to see me, she will need clothing, and a bed, and I can't go sauntering into town to look for these myself" And with those words the two boys went running, leaving the young lost girl there with the dragon. It did take some time but the dragon dug into the crystal caves to give her an odd shaped bedroom, having some royal workers make the room for her while keeping it hush hush from the people of the capital and even the royals for now.
