Chang Er Ling and the call of the Blue Moon

The Escape Plan

Two weeks, haunted by the Shadow Clan, the island was no longer a peaceful, harmonious and happy place as before. It all was gone when the Darkness invaded and destroyed what was good.

The Morning Major Star once again appeared on the horizon, however, the black clouds prevented natural light from brightening the day in Giselle.

The Dark Lord was the new leader of the island, at the height of 679 years, had the whole body completely black and was always smiling and manic; He wore a black robe with violet rays, adorned by black flames that ran to the tip of his head and appeared to have huohi-shaped hair.

That morning without the Morning Major Star, he walked among the Gisellians inspecting each one in his duties.

The Gisellians performed their duties and tasks ordered by the Lord of shadows.The younger ones and the children were trained for combat under the surveillance of the Zordragis, the older ones carried linen bags with seeds and building materials, and the babies were force-fed with a portion of evil energy.

Why do we have to do all this? Why don't we just run away?― complained mirella to her friend.

You know why. If we try to escape now, they're going to catch us and do the same thing they did to that woman when they got here.— answered Ágatha.

Upon entering the space reserved for him, the Dark Lord saw the symbol drawn on the wall and began to recite a charm in his language.At that moment, someone dressed in a black robe and hood that covered his head entered desperately and bowed.

My Lord, we are being attacked by some enemy who spies on us at night.The entire production area of food and weapons has been looted.― Shelork said desperate. 

IMPOSSIBLE!― the Dark Lord braved.

It's all gone. We're sorry about that, but...― Moriax blamed himself and before finishing the sentence, he was interrupted by the leader's fury.― THEN FIX WHAT YOU HAVE DONE OR THE NEXT TO BE BEHEADED WILL BE YOU!

Yes, sir.— they all answered and left.

Akio's trumpet vibrated and echoed a noise all over Giselle.It was a sign that everyone has become accustomed to its meaning, the curfew.Every time Akio's trumpet rang, everyone should be in position under the surveillance of the Zordragis to be examined.

You know the laws, you know your obligations, and you are aware that anything you are hiding from us will be discovered at some point.So without more talking, what did you guys collect during these days for us?― the War asked. 

During the Gisellian examination, the Zordragis stormed the huts in search of the unusual and found some pieces such as a necklace of stones, a rattle of seeds and feathers, a linen tiara with palm leaves, and a bag of herbs.

Well, well, look what we have here.— Death has expressed itself.― A makira necklace just for me. 

That's not yours!It's mine!― a 7-year-old girl screamed, pushing her hands behind her back.

Do you remember the law the Dark Lord told you?All that is yours is ours!― said The Hunger.

What? He didn't tell us anything.— thought Larissa.

The Dark Lord doesn't like to be disturbed and hates those who disturb him.Little girl, come here.― called the War.

Larissa refused the call of war and decided to remain silent without making movements or signs of communication.By rejecting one of qimugsi's knights, the Zordragis forcibly led her to the War knight where she was forced to get down on her knees on a hot coal mat. She could already feel the heat burning her knees, her skin peeling off and gaining a dark tone. She couldn't express, scream or cry while there, or she'd be killed in front of everyone for judging the Shadow Clan.
