(*3000 Years ago)
The causes of unknown made Crystal World split onto five, Dragon world, Elf world, Crystal World, Wolves world and Underworld. None of them knew the truth except The Guardian's, they didn't wants to created ruckus as the cause still mystery to everyone. It's all started when some of the them excuses that demon tribes fault.
All the demon tribe disappointed with them when slowly others tribe treated them like an enemy, as if they're less than trash. Only hatreds and disgust gaze had been threw towards them. They all took so far to attacks demon race, killing them off without mercy. That is when, demon's starts to become cruel and cold-blooded, killing other races except theirs, they doing it so that they can protect their loves one.
The Seventh Guardian were disappointed with them, their leader decided to wipe their memory off about these. Hoping they will starts new life.
A teen with blue graze hair frowned at him, "Airil you're too soft. You should give them punishment so that, they won't do the same mistake." He states while the latter just smiled emptily. "You knew me well, right." Airil answers make him huffed tiredly, knowing how forgiving his brother is.
"Someday your kindness will get you." He mutters under his breath, the green grass hair girl wrapped her hands on his right arm. "Oh, Yoshi. Nothings wrong being forgiven right? Everyone needs a second chance." She gave a beautiful smile made the others smiled fondly at their antic. Yoshi sighed in silence before returning her smiled, "I guess you right." He whispers.
Little did they know, what he said is true?
In the Dark Abby's,
A man glared heatedly at the water that showing all the guardians movements. He then smirked full of slyness, he glances toward a strange purple-green like poison on the table.
"Finally... After thousands of years, it's done! I will get you back for locking me in this realm! This 'cursed' doesn't have cure except death, the cursed will running through his blood and generations. When the times come, I will be freed!" His laughter echoes in the endless dark.
At the same time, Yoshi suddenly stops. His eyes shaken and his legs gave up make him fell on his knees. He gripped his heart that aching painfully, "what... Was that?" Yoshi panted heavily, it's not long before he gasped in surprise.
A moment later, his bags shadowing eyes, a painful smiled creeping on his lips. "Ahh... I see. If it's mean to protect you then I gladly sacrifice myself." He muttered. He saw it. Yoshi has a gifts unlike the other he can see through the future, sometimes he only think that it's just a cursed but his views changes when he saw that.
What will happen if... Airil is the one got cursed. The once innocent eyes turned dark, "from now on we're enemies Airil." He exclaimed darkly although there is a pain hidden behind it. Deep within him was glad that he alone right now.
Everything changed when someone braves enough to kill a girl that one of guardian, it's turned out became more fatal when she is Yoshi's lover. His unstable emotions make him forgot the 'cursed' that he bear all these time. The 'cursed' gave reactions towards his negative emotions.
That night. All the guardians can only watched in despair. One of them became Fallen Guardian.
In the end, they doesn't have any choices but trapped him inside dark dimension. "EVERYTHING IS NOT END JUST YET, I'LL DESTROY YOUR GENERATION GUARDIAN'S CRYSTAL!"
Airil tears roll down as watching his little brother, forcefully locked down into the depths. The others can only gave him forlorn expression as their body starting to disappear little by little. Soon, by the time sun setting, they completely disappeared from the world's only leaving history behind.

(Present Time)
In the forest, only the sounds of wild animals can be heard, somewhere deep in the forest a blue hair boy gasped in horror woken up from sleep. His blue ocean eyes shaken a bit, after a while he sighs and lift his head up staring at the half moon.
The breezes that greet his small body make him slightly shivered. He shoves his hair back, "my memory is back." He whispered in the dark silent night while grips the necklace with blue crystal pendant.
Meanwhile, at the Wolves world. A white fur coat wolf run as fast as he could, his white fur has been dirtied by blood. Behind him a pack of werewolves chasing with anger and killer intent in their eyes.
'Not good. My strength starting to left me.' He thought in anxious, the werewolves doesn't want to give up at all, as if sensing that his energy began to left him out they grin creepily. He yelped when one of the werewolf catch him up and bite his injures leg. He kicked the werewolf off him with all his strengths left.
His views starting to blurry but he keep on running until there's is cliff. He wanted to sprinted back to other way but all of his strengths completely drained in bad time. 'Crap. My concious starting to slips away.. is this how my life ended?' That is the last thought before he completely lose consciousness and fell into the deep gap.
The sun is finally showing up, mark the starting of new day. I curves a small smile when two hedgehog came near me while eating an apple. I pet them carefully not to makes it startled, they gave a squel sounds as if enjoying being pat. "Cute." I muttered and my mind drove back to last night's where my past memory. My blue eyes became gloomy.
The two hedgehog already left me alone, 'is that why you said never have a grudge to them? Your already knew that I might wants revenge after what has happened.' I thought disliking that she does this but I already promised her...
I grip my blue scarf tightly, she could just tell me the truth. I-no. I and she already promised that never keep secrets. Sighing, I can't blame her because keeping it away from me. I too, knew that there's actually another cursed within me, it just I don't know what is it. But now that I know.
I snapped back to reality when heard some of the wild animals whimpered. My eyes widened in realision. "Crap!" I shouted and tried hard to control my emotions because my surroundings already turned onto ice. I gritted my teeth, my body shivered unwillingly as sweats forming on my forehead. I need to control my emotions.
I can feel a quarter of the forest already frost caused by my power. After a while, I sighed in relief, finally it's stopped. Laying down on the ground, I stared at the sky, I lift my hands staring at my palms.
I can't control my powered...
I can only control it when my emotions are stable, if not... Like just now, everything will be frost. Especially when I knew that I am actually a guardian. Unlike normal people, guardian's powered are three time more powerful because our job is protecting them. If I can't control this. This world will die caused of coldness..- no more likely they're frost to die.
'Ryuu... They're coming, hurry hide!'
A voice whispered giving warning made me startled and quickly get up and climbing up to the tree. I sat on the branches where it's completely hidden from them. Not long afterwards, I heard a group of footsteps came nearby here. I saw a few kids and four adults there looking around trying to find me.
"Tch. Where the hell is he?!" One of the adult shouted in irritation.
"He must have hidden somewhere. Keep on searching." The latter answers and sounds commanding to me, he must be theirs leader.
I frowned, why would they brought children too? Are they that desperate to search and kill me? Too bad, I wasn't planning on dying when there's is many more things I need to solve. They keep on searching me while I sometimes move around silently so that they won't saw nor realize that I'm here all the time.
"Tch! That demon child, I will get him soon." The one that commanding them states in anger. "Huff... Why would we go back home with empty hand? The tree here looks like have a great quality." The other said while tap on the trunk.
I widen my eyes in surprise, "what?" I mumbled while they gave a satisfying smirked or reactions. "Why not? It such a shame to left it here. We could get great deals using these tree." He answered while giving the others meaningful glanced.
"Lucky that I brought axe from home." In the blink of eyes he starts to cut the tree off, I wince in pain and teary eyes start to forming in the corner of my eyes.
'AAHHH!! IT HURTS! NO STOP! RYUU HELP!!'
I can feel their pain, I closed my eyes tightly. It hurts... I whimpered as clutched my head tightly that can hear the nature's voice. Their voice echoes in my mind filtering. I opened my teary eyes that starting to change into red then blue back. An wild animals rours made them stopped and I leaned on the branches tiredly.
"What the?!" They shout in surprise when all the dangerous animals encircled them, without many talk they quickly run away from this forest. Scared that their life will be ended in a blink of eyes.
I let out heavy sighs before jump down from hiding places. I pet an adult tiger that continue watching me, "thank you." I muttered and she answers with a soft rawrs as 'no problem' before returning to her placed. The others wild animals already returned back and continued finding food.
I leaned over the trunk tree, I don't want this place to damages or destroy. For me, this forest is special because here, the wild animals and plants took care of me since I was a baby. Thanks to them, I am alive until now. Today, I am 7 years old and I wanted to returned the favor -- taking good care of this forest. Although not forever since I remembered everything about my past life.
THUMP.
"Ahh!" I clutch my heart that feels aching, my blue eyes starting to change into red then return to blue back. I hissed. This will be troublesome, I need to drink blood... But I don't want to.
I shook my head furiously and took a deep breaths, I need to get a hold of myself. My red eyes returned back to usual ocean blue. I sighed in relief, goodness my body started to feels weak. Just then, my blue crystal pendant shone. What? If my pendant glowing like this, it just means that there is guardian nearby.
I stand up and walked to the west, following my instincts. The pendant shone brightly, giving signals that he or she is few steps ahead. I gasped when found, a wolf with white fur lay down in fatal wounds. His white fur dirtied by dry bloods. He lay down nearby the waterfalls.
I quickly run checking whether he's still a alive or not. He still breathing although it's shallow, my eyes still on his neck that has a red crystal pendant. He is fire guardian...
My eyes turned green as the nature's around me moving, giving me a few calendulas leaves. I use my ice to stop the blood from keep flowing then wrapped the leaves on his wounds. A squirrel came to me giving a vegetable, "thanks." He squels then leave.
I feed him the Swiss chard, it's the most effective for recovery and it's increase your immunity. The wolf looks grimaces when swallows the leaves although not concious yet. Well, it does feels bitter but that is the only way to safe him from this--live threatening. I swept my sweats away with relieved. His lucky that I found him here. I don't even want to imagine the possibility of he's dying.
Now, it's time to let him rest somewhere safe. An adult elephant came towards this way; probably wanted to drink water. Just in time. Right after, she drink water. I approached her.
"Hey, can you help me letting him rest somewhere safe?" I asked and she said okay. She carries the wolf using trunk while I followed from behind. She put him in the tree trunks that has been put a lump of leaves. Hmm... That's is a perfect place for him to rest.
I pet her in friendly manner, "thanks for helping me." I exclaimed and she pet my head as a 'your welcome,' then leave me alone with the wolf. I sighed heavily. That's right, tonight is a full moon.
......Night Time......
I sat on the branches of tree and leaned on its branch. Staring at the full moon fondly, a sight of blue ocean and starry sky are beautiful. A green leaf fall and I catch it. I put it on my lips and fingers makes it on way, closing my eyes then taking a soft breath. A beautiful yet sad melody's outward from the leaf on my lips.
A soft voice can be heard through the forest;
"Distant moon so big and bright, softest silver glowing through the night~ High atop the mountain gold, sun unseen the world is cold. Here I wait and here I stand, early morning northern hour hand~ Studying, in solitude, looking for the hidden clue. I wish to see this world through my own eyes~ To calm, the elders and silence their cries... Because, of you I now gaze up and sing.
The Lullaby Of The Moon~"
I can feels that all the animals gaze on me but I already get used to it, I will only play this melody on full moon. A rang on the pendant near me made me stop and the wild animals confused with the sudden stopped. Because I will play it until late nights.
I avert my gaze on a certain white wolf, he looks stammered when I noticed he's presence's. I feel my lips twitch a smile... Did I just smiled sincerely? It's have been long since I lost my smile after she dead in my arms.
"You're already awake? Good for you. Maybe because it's full moon, your recovery is much more faster than usual." I stated to the looking embarrassed wolf.
'How can I thanks him for saving me? He can't hear my voice.' The wolf asked to himself and I wanted to laughed but held it. "Welp. Your welcome then." He gap at me I tried hard not to laugh at his priceless reactions. 'He can hear me?' Wondering once again in daze.
"Yes, I can hear your voice. Actually I can hear the nature and animals voice, so don't need to be that suprise." I tell to the gapping white wolf.
'O-oh... So can I know your name?' He asks and I avert my eyes to the ocean. "Ryuuraki is my named." I said doesn't want to remind about my last name--more likely that b*stard named. I really hate him. Even though he already dead in my hands.
"So what is your name?" I noticed he looked sad when I asked, 'I doesn't have one.' He said sadly. Oh... That must be sick because you doesn't even have nickname to called out.
"Then, how about I give you one." He looked at me confusedly but then questioning, 'if that is okay to you.' He answered and once again my lips twitch a smile. I already have in my mind.
"How about Moonlight? Moon for short. It's because of your white fur, it's rare for a wolf or werewolves to have this kind of fur. The names Moon is because I named you afterwards in full moon." He looks at me with starry eyes. I will just take that as a yes then...
'Thanks Ryuu! I love the named you gave to me.' Welp, glad that he likes it. He then look at me while fidgeting and I gave a question look to him.
'Well, can I stayed with you? It's okay if you don't want to! I'm just asking!' Moon said in anxious. I thought of it for a while, "okay..." I answered and he jumped towards me happily making me almost fall from the branches. I guess having a friend won't hurt right?
