Luna

𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓉ℯ𝓇 ℱ𝒾𝓋ℯ

The air swirled and twirled with delight. Suddenly, golden letters appeared in the air, spelling..

𝙰𝙽𝙰𝙺𝙸𝙽

Her silver hair flew with the wind's graces, it was a calm breeze that Luna felt herself listening to the sound of the wind and what it speaks. She found it a safe space to just calm down and listen to the beautiful notes and tune of the wind.

Anakin, the raven's new name flew piece by piece and like the mellow grass or the cold winter snow, it swayed with the wind and let it go with the flow.

The golden particles lightened, thus found its way to our marks. The marks absorbed its particles and glowed a faint silver and blue.

"Wow... This felt way more calm than before." Luna said, her eyelids catching up to sleep. She laid down and saw the moon's endless shine. Anakin seemed to notice her sleepiness and draped a blanket all over her body.

"Goodnight, Anakin..." she yawns and closed her eyes, then catching a voice saying, "Goodnight.." the darkness consumed her little by little but, she says in a whisper, "Luna..Call me.." before she can say it, she fell asleep.

The furious knock on the door has awaken the silver haired beauty, as she stood up to clean herself.

"Young miss! Your food is ready!" Nina shouted through that door. Luna's hair is styled as a high ponytail from a ribbon she picked up on the bedstand beside her.

Nina walked behind her as to show respect, she noticed the hallway looked clean as the ballroom. No signs of blood nor flesh everywhere. As she still remembers the nightmare, 'atleast that's sorted' she sighs.

They approached the living room, "I'll take it from here." Luna said and entered the room, leaving the maid to her own devices.

As she entered, she hears the faint crackle of the fireplace. "Lulu." a man said, dressed in his formal attire. Luna fixed her eyes and immediately recognized the man, Lunelio Gales, an aristocrat from the north. He's also her childhood friend, though, Luna thought it was unexpected for Lunelio to come since he has competition for the Gales' household.

"Nelo? That is surprising... You've never sent a letter about coming here."

"Ah..Apologies, Lulu. I was just concerned for you and your brother, the news was shocking to me.."

Luna sighs, she takes a glass of wine and gently drinks it. She thought that he must have come here for a long journey, what is his motive? Luna looked at him, should I ask? Is he.. The Nelo I've known before? No... I must stay calm and question him vaguely.

Nelo seemed fidgety for a guy that just arrived in their home. Luna thought, then came her brother knocking the door, Elijah shouted, "Where is it??" Nelo's hand hurriedly picked a letter and gave it to Elijah.

"What is happening?" she asks, it seems that this letter is of important value. They could just had called Luna's brother than her. Nelo sighs and his face became serious, he answered, "While you were busy maintaining the house, we found some leads. It seemed that our sources are reliable after all." he smiles but it was such a contrasting difference to their faces, eyebags were far too visible and she can sense their tiredness from finding.

"Did you find one?"

"Yes... But.."

"But..?"

"He was dead. Just a couple weeks ago, we found him dead, it seems that someone doesn't want us to know who he is." he sighs and runs his hair up in a frazzled state.

"My. If a powerful man is behind this, then. I am afraid that this will be like finding a needle in a haystack." she looked at the both of them, and asked, "Do you know some private investigators?"

Elijah raised his hand and said, "I do. Though... I am afraid that they're quite... Rare to find." he looked at the both of them and poured himself a drink, "Though, even finding them would deem impossible given that we are busy afterall." he sighs after drinking his wine.

Lunelio chuckled, "That would 'be' impossible, but!" he raised his head and looked to me, "...If Lulu here can vouch for us two gentlemans, then wouldn't it be solved?"

Luna opened her mouth to object, "That is extremely impossible. I am a busy woman, I still have to do paperwork this evening-"

"Leave that to your maids."

"But how about the mansion? Who's gonna take care of it?"

"Elijah will take care of it."

"But, I couldn't possibly make him do the dirty work!"

"Taking care of the expenses, the mansion and everything is the job of a duke."

"Yes, you are right in all of those aspects however, is Eli capable of taking care of the mansion?"

"Of'course he is capable, he is raised by the duke himself."

Luna sighs, "I am expecting a good result when I come back." she said that made her brother pat her head gently, "Do you have no confidence in me, Lulu?" he asked and smiled confidently. "Don't worry about the estate, I will take care of it. Even the following days or so." he said. Luna pursed her lip and nodded, "I believe in your confidence, brother."

"I shall get ready for tomorrow... I believe it would be a long day for us all."

"Yes, yes. Of'course, I should get going already, but before that." Lunelio hands him a paper, "I've already written a code, it is said that whoever wants to find them shall say these exact words with a flower that matches what they want."

Luna smiles, "Thank you, this will be handy in the future."

"The duchess and duke are also my family. This should be enough to help them." he opens the door and bids goodbye to the siblings.
