In the small village of Manthis, lived a young girl with locks of golden blonde hair and eyes the color of ice. This young girl was not at all how she seemed.  Though the girl appeared as a delicate soul, even the slightest sight of her dark eyes could cause sudden fright. Even though few knew of her great strength, many were puzzled by her common disappearances at the moon festivals. Every year the moon forms into a great lake, flooding the air with the stench of blood. As the smell awakens the villagers the large moon pulls one of it's chosen people to use as it's slave. Though the power is a mystery, many have tried to tempt  the moon in the selfish hope of becoming all powerful. Some say the moon sees all things and knows even the hearts deepest secrets. At the annual moon festival each family sets out a small gem known in the village as a Mirrior stone. When the moon transforms it selects one soul to tempt. The unfortunate victim is drawn away from the village and to where they go has remained uncertain.
One year on the day of the festival, a man found a young girl walking in the forest with eyes glowing a deep blue. Not many have seen a moonlit soul and lived to tell the tail.
