Lula, The Ice Luna

Prologue

Sixteen years ago, in the land of Drobar, above the clouds lies the Kingdom of Olympus. Where one of the strongest gods rule among the others and his name is Zeus. He had three wives, and each of them was pregnant with a female baby goddess. He loved all of them despite their differences, and even if the three women were not kind to each other.

Hades and his underworld soldiers attacked the Kingdom. Zeus didn't give up his stand and fought back at his underworld brother. The war lasted for days until the Kingdom of Olympus crumbled and fell to the Earth's surface. Zeus has no choice but to save his daughters. He told each wife to hide and save them, and they followed what they were told. One wife ran towards the Olympus' god of messenger and his name is Hermes.

"Please save her. She's our only hope!" the wife pleaded.

Hermes took the baby with his tiny arms. He glanced at her and saw that this baby has beautiful long white hair lying around her shoulders. He could feel coldness around her even if she was wrapped with many blankets.

"I won't let you down."

They heard crashes and screams that turned their heads and saw the demons set their red glowing eyes on the baby.

"Go!" The wife said.

Hermes opened his white wings that were the size of a baby gryphon's, and flew away with the baby wrapped with his arms. He saw how the mother was slaughtered as he was flying away from the distance away from her. He disappeared into the clouds and he was no longer followed.

Flying across the sky, he was greeted by a heavy thunderstorm. He descended towards the ocean and hovered over it. Waves and creatures greeted him as he dodged each of them. The baby laughed with the creature's callings as they left a trail of ice on the ocean's surface.

He landed at the island where an old castle stood alone. Then he heard the shrieks of the underworld creatures which he thought he lost. While panicking, he ran inside the castle and closed its doors. The dark elf found him panting and sweating while he was reading a thick book.

"Gaston!" Hermes called his name as soon as he saw the elf took off his eyeglasses then laid it on his table with other books and scrolls.

"Please, save this child!"

Without uttering a word, Hermes handed over the child to the elf. "Bring her where they cannot find her. I'll distract them."

Gaston wasn't able to reply when Hermes quickly took off and ascended to the tall castle's ceilings, making his way out towards the window. The god of messenger sounded his lyre that called the creatures' attention. They thought that the baby was still with him, so they followed him.

Gaston took a glance at the baby who was cold as ice. He could tell that the baby won't survive on her own with such powers. He raised his hand, pointing at one of the shelves, and a thick book was drawn out of it that landed on his hand. The book opened on its own and stopped on a specific page. He muttered words that casted a spell on the baby, disappearing the bluish colors on her and warmed her whole body like a human-being.

"At the age of sixteen, your powers will come back to you leisurely, but a curse will be mark on you forever."

Then a portal appeared beside him and it showed an image of the dark woods. Gaston took one more glance at the baby, "Fate will bring you back here to save us from destruction."

The baby floated while Gaston's hands were below her then she was catapulted through the portal, and made a soft landing on the grassy ground.

Lying alone in the darkness, the baby cried after the wolves' howling sounded behind the tall trees. The full moon was staring at her, not leaving her alone.

A few minutes later, a man saw her and picked up the child. Removing the blanket covering her, he was mesmerized by the beautiful sight of her, especially of how white and long her hair was for such a young age.

As soon as he heard the wolves' howling, he left with the baby, leaving the blanket on the ground along with the glowing blue pendant in it.
