short story

Reflection of The Moon

A boy stands in front of a lake as he looked at the reflection of the moon on It. He kept thinking about his sins, kept thinking whether he will ever be forgiven, will he ever be able to live happily. He walked away from the lake and into the forest and so fate had a plan for him. His eyes caught something on the tree and his eyes never looked away. He saw a girl hanging on the tree. He got caught in the beauty of her eyes as if he could look into the girl soul. Their eyes met and never looked away again. However, she was not like any ordinary girl..... she was a monster girl. She came down from the tree and got close to him as he did the same. They got too close to each other as they are looking at each other eyes. Humans and monsters fought for generations and centuries yet at that moment it didn't matter at all. Their lips touched, sparkles of love covered around the forest. They kissed each other under the moon.

From mountain not far away yet not so close. An old man stood on it with a stick in his hands as he laughed looking at the two lovers kissing each other. Soon his laugh was disturbed as he heard the monsters searching the forest for their princess as the humans search the forest for their prince. Little they know, they were kissing each other as the birds sang. The old man smiled and hit his stick against the mountain and so a thick fog covered the forest and around the two lovers. Soon his smile was wiped as he saw something hiding in the bushes. He saw a monster boy hiding in the bushes looking at the two lovers kissing, looking at the love of his life kissing another man as she is being stolen away in front of his eyes. His eyes filled with tears yet his pride didn't let them fall from his eyes. He felt burn inside his heart yet nothing can be made.

The wizard magically appeared behind the boy. Put his hand on the boy's shoulder trying to comfort him as he felt the burn inside the boy's heart. He knew the boy and knew how kind and good-hearted he is. The wizard started thinking of a way to comfort the boy and so an idea crossed his mind. He waved his magical stick as a door appears. The boy looked inside the magical door as he saw wanders and things he never saw before on the other side of the door. The wizard crosses the door to the other side and so the boy followed him. Eager to see more of the other side.

He founds himself in a huge library with countless books and all sort of knowledge. The boy was amazed and astonished by how many books there are. The wizard knew how much the boy loved to read books and to learn. The wizard taught the boy everything he knew, all the knowledge he has. Years in that world were seconds in the real world. Your mind grows as your body remains the same.... and so it was time to go home. The wizard was about to wave the stick and the boy stopped him and asked him for one last favor. The old man looked at the boy with a heavy heart, sadness is obvious from his eyes. The old man waved his stick as his heart is heavy as a door appears and open yet this time, not to home..... The old man looked at the boy walking through the door as he felt proud of how much he has grown, proud of his decisions as he felt hard to see the boy that now in the place of his son walks away. He saw the boy walking away from him, away from his home, away from the war between humans and monsters, away from the girl he loved and into the unknown world of wonders and mysteries and so..... the boy adventure begins.
