Sanctuary for all

Prologue

It was very cold and starry night on planet Arcanus.

She was all alone in her small cave. She was preparing for an arrival of her child. She could sense it will be very soon. She laid on the ground strewed with grass. After few hours she was snuggling to her little daughter. Her daughter had the sign of a crescent moon on her head so she named her Luna.

After two weeks she could leave Luna in the cave and go hunting. She was very lucky because her kind was growing extremely quick. She stepped to the entrance of the cave and glanced back. Her daughter was still in a deep sleep so she smiled at her and rut to the forest.

During the hunt she heard strange noises. She pressed her body against the ground and crawled nearer those sounds. She hide behind a bush. She found a small opening and looked through. She found four humans. Three males and one female. They were oddly dressed, all in the same. She found the situation they were in very amusing. Two of the males were arguing about something and the other two were just looking at them. So she turned back and continued in her action.


She was on her way back to the lair when she heard explosions. They were coming from the direction of her cave. She dropped her catch and run towards her lair.

When she got there almost everything around the lair was burning. She jumped in and saw Luna trembling in the corner. She grabbed her in her mouth and dashed out of the cave to the forest. She didn't know was chasing her, but she figured out they were after Luna. I must get her out of here. She thought. May be those humans can get her somewhere safe. So she ran to the place where she found those humans. The youngest of the group looked the most responsible. Was another her thought.

When she got near them she changed into a human herself. She got onto the clearing where they stood. She got to the youngest and gave him the cub.

'Take care of her.' She said. 'Her name is Luna.'

The man was just looking at her with opened mouth. He wanted to say something but was interrupted with explosions, which were getting nearer.

They wanted her to come with them, but she was already in the forest heading straight toward those, who were threatening her daughters' life.

Only thing she could heard from behind was just one order.

'Head to the gate!' One of the males called.

She knew two things. First was that her daughter is in safe hands and the other was that she was now heading towards her death.
