Born in the moonlight

It was supposed to be a silent and still night and it was untill ...

It was not....

The night was beautiful but not dark , it was a full moon after all and beautiful stars dotted the sky ,the sky was cloudless. There was no soul in sight but if you could listen carefully you would hear the cries coming from deep in the forest.And although it sounded laboured and like pants it was faint but not far . But the sound grew and the sky began to darken gray clouds appearing out of thin air and covering the stars .

But not the moon ....

The night sky flashed with streaks of lighting, thunder bolts ,and strong winds assaulted the night. And yet the cries grew in the forest , so did the storm.

And then it began to rain suddenly and heavily , like hailstones coming downon the forest like glistening pebbles in the moonlight . The wind grew with the rain it hurled the weaker trees up from their roots and far away,the stronger ones that could wistand it were bent almost to their breaking point.

It was no longer a silent night instead no one dared to step outside for fear of being homeless away by the wind .And yet the cries I'm the forest grew....

Suddenly,just as it started it stopped,the clouds that once filled the sky disappeared to nothing and the winds settled into a gentle breeze.

Even the cries in the forest stopped , it was once again silent . Just as it should have been.

The insects began to chirp happily calling to their mates,growls and roars followed as the night beasts awakend they to calling to their mates. And a baby's cries were heard coming from the forest.

🌚. 🌝🌝. 🌚

“I'm sorry ... mommy is sorry but you will be safer this way ,” a young lady with delicate feautures and long black hair wept as she placed the wailing child she had just finished wrapping in a soft green blanket on the floor.

“Mommy is so sorry,” she kept on mumbling to herself as she wrapped her up,and stood up turning her back on the wailing child , tears streamed down her face .

As if she knew she was about to be abandoned her cries grew as she hiccuped , tiny chubby hands reached out as if to grab unto her mothers dress. Her eyes so green they were like glistening emerald stared with grife.

The woman's face mirrored that of her child and she kept on mumbling "mommy is sorry, mommy is sorry, mommy never wants to leave you....mommy loves you" She turned back to the child and placed her palm on the child's shoulder.

Her eyes flashed pure white for a second her pupils disappearing as her palm lit up and then dimmed. Then she stood up turned around and disappeared into the night leaving the child there.

“The child is born, ”Ruby snorted out fire as she mentioned this to the other dragons her red ruby eyes sparkling with excitement as she wipped her tail from side to side. “I shall go get her ”.

“I can feel it too mate,”Zule her mate said as he stood up “and no Ruby its too dangerous remember our kind is almost gone you can't go for her yet” .

“But she's alone now i will clothe myself and be back before you know it,you know she's our only hope. ”

“I know and that is why you can not go for her now .Its not the right time. ”

“ Then when is the right time. ”

The slivery dragon who lay down quiet by they both as they talked opened her grey eyes at this question and snorted . “ The girl shall be brought to us. ”

Not long after the lady left the wailing child a white tiger walked by a saw the child, he walked around her sniffing, and growling before he huffed and then reached with his mouth and lifted the baby in her blanket, turned around and began to walk due east .

He walked till he reached a garden a then placed the child on the ground and roared. He walked around and roared louder again and again. Until a petite lady came out cursing. “ Damn it white I'm here what is it?”

He growl moving the child to her with his nose.

“Oh my so cute is she the one? ”

He snorted . “You found her in the forest,” she frowned starring at the child as if trying to figure out why then shook her head and glanced at white. “ White you know should talk to me and not just growl and snort all the time, it's realy getting on my nervs,” she said as her bent and carried the baby.

“ I know and that's why i don't do it,” white said then turned to go.

“ Wait what should i do with the child ?”

“Nothing you will know when it's time ” ,with those words white left.

She stared at the green eyes looking up at her and sighed.

“ I guess it's you and me now, atleast we will have each other for company. Now, what shall I call you?....I shall call you Dice is that okay? Cause i happened to like the name and will suit you.What do you say? ”

Dice

Then she took her into the house and closed the door*.
