As Luna woke up, she couldn't see anything till a sack was pulled off her head. Even then, she had been so used to the darkness of space and her home planet Spacio, that she was blinded by the bright lights. Her eyes burned never seeing the sun nor bright lights. She tried to block the light with her arms, but they were tied behind her back. The brightest light she had ever seen was the small bit of light that shown through the blinds during the day. Afterall the sun could eternally blind their kin. Her eyes teared up from stinging and she looked down. She felt a hand roughly grab her chin and force her to look up. She was more scared by this sudden action and the blindness of the lights. "Mama?" She called out confused.
The lights in the room were turned off. Her vision cleared up and she saw an angry man sitting upon a gold throne. She thought perhaps this is the amazing and important Celestial King that her mama talked about. Afterall he was all dressed up and looked like the greatest king. She smiled at the chance to already get to meet him. His appearance was strange. The thought caused her eyes to wander. Nothing here was familiar at all. The people were pale and some dark. Some a mix and some colors she'd never seen.
She smiled back up at the great King. Seeing his reaction upon looking at her made her frown. He looked absolutely disgusted. Like she was some hideous beast. "Look elsewhere, for you are nothing more than what I oppose you to be. You have disrespected me in my own kingdom, my own palace! You dare refuse to look at me in the light. What do you have to say for yourself!?"
The King spoke coldly with no heart. Little Luna smiled. "King Celan for my mother has awaited so long for this day, I am so honore- Mama? Selene?" She had almost forgotten she hadn't seen her mother since awaking in this strange place. "You are now mine; you shall serve me and never see your disgraceful family again!" The shock on her face at his heartless words tore her heart more and more.
Noone could disrespect her mother like that, absolutely no one. "You dare speak of my Mama in such a way! My Mama is beautiful and kind! My sister intelligent and smarter than any other kid I know! I shall never serve such a pig!" "You bastardly child!" He walked over angrily and smacked her across the face. He made a sign to the guards as something cold and something as hard as stone collapsed around her wrists. "Put her with the other three, she shall be cast aside for amusement after such ill-mannered words towards me!"
Before she knew it, she once again had a sack upon her head, and she was being harshly tugged by a chain. "Do not malinger you ugly slave!" She tripped over the chains and was dragged away. After a while, she had been crying and had burns on her legs from being dragged. The sack was lifted off her head. "Shut up kid no one cares to hear you whine!" The light once again blinded her. Before she could do anything else she was lifted up and thrown. She screamed in terror not being able to see what in the world was going on.
She clashed into what felt like a fellow Spacian. They yelled at the barreling person that came crashing into them. They then got up and sat her down in a dark corner while hearing something closing, like the prison door. She opened her eyes, seeing not only the small, cramped space with barley any lighting but three fellow Spectro's! Or that's what they looked like, but they weren't blue like her? They looked about her age though, which meant new friends!
Her curiosity smacked her harder in the face than the king did, and she gave a goofy smile. "Spacians!" They all looked at her confused and then just stared at each other. There were two girls and a boy. The two girls turned to each other and started whispering as the boy helped Luna onto her feet. "Hi, I am Luna!" She offered out her hand with a big smile. Her mom taught her to always greet strangers with a smile. The boy chuckled a bit and then took her hand with a smile, kissing the top of her palm and giving a small bow. "I am Onyx." She giggled. "Why did you kiss my hand?" He tilted his head finding it strange she didn't know common manners. "Where I come from it is how a gentleman greets a princess." She smiled. "Where I come from, we greet each other by holding up two fingers and gently pressing it to our lips. Like so." She continued to do so, and he did it back with a smile. "It's also how we make a promise!" He chuckled at her.
