Lullay Moon

Chapter One: The Forbidden Daybreak

The isle of Lullay, the birthplace of or kind and the sacred home of our legacy. A haven where newborns arrive and the ancient depart our perfect world. Our island is astounding that others cannot venture, even if another soul were to seek a thousand life times. They will never make past our smothering mists and our harsh ocean winds.

Only our kind can enter and depart from Lullay, my father Polaris dedicated his entire life to make this a truth. Polaris, our great Alpha set foot on this mysterious island with his small band of warriors. When my father died, he left his legacy to grow upon generations, and his fellow warriors devoted their loyalty to Polaris. When they raised their families, and died as time told them.

For hundreds of years, our kind have adapted an inner connection with Lullay, even if ones leave for a period of time. They will return to lay their eggs and to die peacefully when the time comes. When a new generation is born, the newborns inherit this special connection and they will know how to travel to Lullay.

When our time arrives, we will return to our beloved haven and we will walk the clouds with our loved ones. However, until that moment, we will live the lives that we were given, and we will celebrate our friends and family.

As for our lost loved ones, shall we meet again.

"Uhh! Toothless, stop reading Father's scrolls!" Luka Star moans annoyingly, Toothless bounces back to reality at the sound of his brother's voice, he was entrapped in amazement with his readings. "It's almost daylight and we have to go to sleep."

Toothless rolls his eyes and he turns his back to his younger brother, Luka Star never did appreciate our father's scrolls of Stellar Flare, or at least not in the way Toothless appreciated them. These very documents belonged to Stellar Flare himself, the son of Polaris, who sacrificed his life to keep all of us safe.

Stellar Flare wasn't just Polaris' son but he was also one of the warriors that stayed to protect the island and carry on the prophecy that Polaris set out. One night when Toothless and his older sister Moonlight Blaze were hatchlings, their father Lightning Storm read them one of Stellar's scrolls and Toothless was instantly fascinated.

Since that moment, Toothless has been reading the scrolls every daybreak before bed, in hope to become as scholar and adventurous as Stellar Flare. It seems that only he out of his three siblings, even care about Stellar's scrolls, the others have other interests in mind.

Both of Toothless' younger brothers Luka Star and Jasper Sky, they are too immature to fully understand the importance of our history, they only care about playing and wrestling at night and sleeping the day away.

Moonlight Blaze, the oldest of the four siblings, she's seemed to outgrow the desire of Stellar's work and she contains her emotions when appropriate and she follows her parents' orders when asked of her. Moonlight upholds her title as older sister, and she's devoted to protecting her younger siblings at the best of her ability.

Toothless believes that out of the four of them, Moonlight is the strongest, he's never seen his sister have any sign of weakness. She seems to handle herself well enough, that one day their parents will let her hunt with them. That's her main goal now, Moonlight desires to prove to her parents that she's capable of surviving during the day.

However, what Moonlight's family doesn't know about, it is her desire to leave home. Within the last two years, she's found herself lost in our ways. Moonlight wants to know that there is more to life than Lullay, the one thing she's known her entire life. Of all those days in the cave, while her parents hunted leaving Moonlight to watch over her brothers. The time meant for sleeping was spent siting at the end of the cave, taking in the sunny days that she'll never get to experience.

Moonlight doesn't pay much mind to Stellar Flare's scrolls, she lost interest in his work after a while. She knows that Toothless prefers those dusty old papers anyway, but the one scroll that she still reads. It is the one that she reads when her brothers are asleep, it's the only one that stands out to her.

For those who choose to leave Lullay, they are the symbols of bravery and they will make my father proud. Although my loyalty to my father remains strong, it is my soul purpose to set an example for my fellow warriors and for the many generations yet to come. This world shifts and changes like the oceans tides and the mountain's air, which each new season there comes anew.

After an expanse of time, Polaris proclaimed that outliers will rise and soon leave the comfort of our sacred home. Like my father, I too understand that even when those who venture to experience the outside world of Lullay; they will one day return with knowledge, wisdom and stories to share.

Polaris honors those who challenge themselves and live up to what our proud species represents; to become dauntless and face the fears that others dare not to attempt. My father knows that we our brave ones return to Lullay, they will be welcomed with open arms and will be praised for their failures and successes.

We both believe that without our moments of failure, we will not grow individually and we will never fully understand humbleness until at first hand.

Take my advice curious ones, don't just stay in one place your whole life. Find the strive to rise from your comfort zones and venture to whatever may be calling out to you. You'll never know what life truly is until to learn branch from away.

To where I stay and to where you may wander, when one has returned home and has rejoiced new experiences, may we rest together in peace.

As for our adventurous ones, shall we meet again.

While her devotion for protecting her brothers is top priority, she just can't help her longing desire to explore the daytime, and to bask in the rays of sun on her scales. Moonlight doesn't mention these ideas to her family, not her parents nor her brothers. If they knew what she was thinking or feeling, they may shun her for such ideas. Moonlight knows deep down that the best course of action, it is to say nothing; for now, at least.
