The Lord of the Moon was in an excited state. He sauntered out of his residence and began to look at the beauty of the moon’s night. Everywhere was covered with darkness. However, there was no night breeze, whirlwind or sea-breeze.

“My kingdom is large, cool and beautiful; I am the custodian of powers from the moon. I am the one that puts smiles on the faces of the motherless and fatherless, I give hope to the hopeless and I eliminate the lives of the wicked; I am the Lord of the Moon,” the Lord of the Moon exalted himself.

“Guys, I think the half moon is closer, I can hear the voice of a man,” Alfred said.

“I can hear that too, but do men live here?” Smith said.

“Don’t be daft, Smith; have you seen anyone’s house from the outset of this adventure?” Alfred said.

“No, I haven’t seen any, boss,” Smith said.

“Then why the silly question?” Alfred said.

“I am sorry, boss,” Smith said grimly.

“Nobody can live formidably on the moon because it has a vacuum atmosphere. It is only the powerful like the Lord of the Moon that can live here,” Alfred said.

“Smith is just too inquisitive and nothing more,” Sarah said and everyone laughed.

“Guys, no waste of time; we are almost there...,” Alfred said.

The Lord of the Moon soon noticed the presence of strange men on the moon; he muttered to himself, "Some men are here, I can feel their presence. They must have come for some reason."

“Lord of the Moon!! We are warriors of the earth! We don’t know where you reside, but we know you are not far from here! Please, could you show yourself; we are perplexed now!!” Alfred said, and the Lord of the Moon appeared.

“Grata!! (welcome)” the Lord of the Moon said.

The astronauts wanted to take to their heels because of the appearance of the strange being.

“Don’t run, astronauts; you seek me and I am here,” the Lord of the Moon said.

“Are you the Lord of the Moon?” Alfred said frightfully.

“Yes, I am the Lord of the Moon. I am the one that puts smiles on the faces of motherless and fatherless, I give hope to the hopeless and I eliminate the lives of the wicked,” the Lord of the Moon praised himself.

“Everyone, shout for joy..., we made it!” Alfred said.

“You are men from America?” the Lord of the Moon said.

“Yes, Orator: we are from California,” Alfred said.

“Wow!! I can remember when I lived there centuries ago”, the Lord of the Moon said.

“I read about you in a historical book,” Alfred said.

“Oh! I am the custodian of the powers of the moon. It’s nice meeting you all, I am also an American too. How is the United States of America?” the Lord of the Moon said.

“The country is in an eyesore state. The killings, wars and crimes everywhere are unnumbered. We read about your benevolence and vowed to locate you. Receive us!!” Alfred said.

“Receive us!!” the other astronauts said.

“I have received you already. I am aware of the United States of America's calamities, but I have remained mute for years because you didn’t seek power. However, your presence here will turn the country into a new leaf,” the Lord of the Moon said.

“We are thrilled, Orator!” Alfred said.

“Sume nos in domum suam (Take us home),” the Lord of the Moon said, and he disappeared alongside the astronauts.

The Lord of the Moon and the astronauts appeared in the Lord of the Moon's residence. The astronauts were looking at everywhere, though the night didn’t allow them to take a clear view of the place.

“This is where I reside in the half moon. Will you mind something to eat?” the Lord of the Moon said.

“Yes, benevolent being; we are famished already,” Alfred said.

The Lord of the Moon sauntered in and came out with a plateful of potatoes.

“Take this..., and what’s your name?” the Lord of the Moon said and handed the plateful of potatoes to Alfred.

“Thank you benevolent being; I am Alfred, the lead warrior of California,” Alfred said.

“Wow!! You look like one. Please, eat your food while I bring water for you,” the Lord of the Moon said and walked away.

The hungry astronauts hurriedly ate their food. The Lord of the Moon came out with a cupful of water.

“Drink this water when needful,” the Lord of the Moon said, and placed the cup on the ground.

“Thank you, Lord of the Moon,” the astronauts said.

“Beautiful lady, what’s your name?” the Lord of the moon said.

“My name is Sarah...,” Sarah said.

“Wow!! That’s a beautiful name. Do you have a husband or a child?” the Lord of the Moon said.

“Yeah. My husband had passed on before now; my two kids are at home,” Sarah said grimly.

“I am sorry for the loss. What caused your husband’s death?” the Lord of the Moon said.

“Lord of the Moon, Sarah’s husband, my friend, was killed at a birthday party,” Alfred chipped in.

“This is barbaric. Sarah, you must avenge the death of your husband,” the Lord of the Moon said.

“How will I do this?” Sarah said.

“Eat your food, after you are done, I will teach you,” the Lord of the Moon said.
