The Dark Moon

For centuries that almost resembled eternity, the words “Dark Moon” were never to be spoken off. A day that comes graced with mayhem and terror at his sides. No one ever speaks of it because it is simply full of sorrow. Thousands of people are lost to the creatures walking in the dark. On this dreadful day, only the wind swirling and dancing of the leaves could be heard for no creature had the guts to move. Some years ago, the royal family of Reobell died. Yes you heard that right, they died. All of them, down to the relatives to the extended family. All of them died. That day was strange. Before their death, the sun was clouded by a moon. A dark moon so dark that the sun was completely covered at noon as if it were the night!. The whole venor (which in your language I suppose it’s called country) experienced it. At first, we were oblivious to what had happened until the king best friend announced that all royals were dead. The day was so sorrowful for everyone. Who would have ever thought our beloved queen, Queen Angela and king, King Seth would die so suddenly and young. The day was immediately named the “THE DARK MOON” for whenever it appears, if signifies only one thing…” destruction”. Reobell was never the same after that day. To cut the story short, the throne was left without a king. The council came to the conclusion that they would take over the throne because there was no royal left alive. They fought among themselves. They became selfish…Anyways, a winner emerged. The king`s best friend, Kelvin who also was the leader of the council was crowned the king. One particular day, a pregnant woman tried hard to get to her abode at the arrival of the Dark Moon. We all know that it is considered a bad omen to be out in the day the royals died, but the pregnant woman failed terribly to get home. Her screams echoed in the air as she stumbled and fell on the unforgiving ground. A minute later, the wind picked up the cries of a baby born. A baby born under the scorching gaze of the dark moon. The cries echoed loud enough for every creature, and by creature I mean living. Every living creature knew a child had been born. After the Dark Moon passed away, the villagers went out to see “their destruction” waiting for them. The Dark Moon lasts for five days so it deemed right for the baby to die. The moment it passed away, every villager ran out to see the damage done this time and they were shocked. Shocked to see a child which they all thought would have died, lay still near the never ending flowing stream with a woman by its side. The baby being covered in black fluid made the people cry in agony. We all thought that the Dark Moon has bestowed upon us mayhem and terror. The strange baby looked at everyone with its shining crystal black orbs. The villagers bursted into tears again thinking ill of the child. The baby began to crawl and everyone gasped. It began to crawl towards me? As the baby crawled, villagers began to run, some spat in its face but it never for once lost its concentration. The baby stopped right at my feet and fear engulfed me but there was this tingling feeling that I was safe. “Why has the gods cursed us!” I heard the voices of mothers breaking down. “It didn’t feed on anything for five days yet it lives!” “Look at it! It killed its own mother! What type of demon is this?!” “The dark moon has come in human form to destroy us all! We are DOOMED!!!” “I say we kill it” “YES!” “Ezekiel, what are you doing? RUN! The demon is at your feet” my friend Hazard exclaimed in fear but my ears turned deaf to his words “Ezekiel, if you touch that thing, I will leave you! You good for nothing bastard. How can you even look at that thing?” I heard the voice of my so called wife. One I was forced to marry! Makes my life a freaking living hell. If by taking this child she will leave me then why not? Do I even know the dangers that might come with this child? I asked myself as I took one last glance at the baby and then, I made my choice.
