1. In the light of the moon
The moon seemed to be on a mission to shine brighter than the sun tonight. As the bright orb made itself known, shining through my curtains onto my face.
My head was being to pound, as the voice in my head that started as nothing but a murmur was beginning to sound louder and clearer. It sounded like the voice of a woman. I had never heard this voice before, but it brought me peace. Though right now, I wish she would shut up and let me rest.
The louder the voice got in my head, the bright the moon seemed to shine in my face. It was a though I was fighting a losing battle. "I time now, child." the angelic voice said "We have no more time to waste. Time for you to get up and claim what is yours." it continued, I groaned peering at the clock on my night stand, 23:50.
"Outside, hurry now, go." was the voice again. "It's almost time". My frustration was beginning to boiled over at this point and I screamed " almost time for WHAT?" as I sat up on my childhood bed with a jolt. A chuckle came through, with so much amusement "for your first ascension" the voice said. Warmth filled my body at the sound. Familiarity and peace. Did I know this woman? i wondered but i couldn't quit place it.
"Out, in the light of the moon. Begin the journey again." it was louder and more urgent now. The moon brighter than I had ever seen it.
I got up, out of my warm bed into the fidget cool winter air on the balcony of my bedroom. With an irritated " here I am, now what?" immediately as the words left my childish lips, I was hoisted into the air, seemingly by the moon light. A rush of power I had never felt before ran through my body. Wave after wave, it was relentless. I could not breathe. My lungs burning for air.
Eventually, I began do descend slowly to the ground, now surprisedly covered in snow. 'Well, this is a first' I thought to myself. It never snowed this far South, even though we had cold winters.
"There, welcome back, child" the said, I recognised the voice now. "Selene" I said, in a slow breathless whisper.
"Happy birthday, my beautiful Khaia" Selene said to me and I could almost feel her smile as I hear. Just then a beautiful set of amber eye flashed in my mind and I smiled.
"Let the games begin" I said.
