Author´s Note: I know I have the Invisibles unfinished but I want to write this short fic before finishing it. A tribute to Mr. Joyce, Sandy and that wonderful story called "Man in Moon". Hope it goes well. And as for your probable question, yes. This is my own take of the story with lots of adventure, magic and romance. Song belongs to Owl City.
Let´s go!
1. Moonlight
Man in Moon, a capital fellow who has watched over children for centuries also known as MinM for his friends or Manny. Yes, that´s the guy. If you look upon the night sky, you will surely see him. A kind-hearted and creative man who chooses the Guardians of Childhood. Now I´m sure you know who he is. Hard to miss, anyway.
But what you might not know is how he got there. You may have read the book but that is just part of the tale that you´re about to hear. Thus, let´s make this adventure one you never forget, amigos míos.
"Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from 1 to 10 and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time
Way up in the air, you're finally free
And you can stay up there right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time"
First thing you should know, is that my name is Cait Sith. I am King of the Unseen, of Spirits and countries from far across the sight. I am the Northern Star and proclaimed Guardian of the Unseen, also known as Mr. Shogun, fastest sword of all and cat gentleman who roams around time and space in search for adventure. I came acquainted with the Royal Family of the Moon people a long time ago and back then, I sworn that my blade would be put to protect the innocent.
"When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight"
In the Golden Ages, back in those days, all was calmed and bright. It was then when Manny was born and raised like any other kid, although he was no mere kid but a prince and was put under the care of Nightlight. All was perfect and me? I was dedicated to learn the arts of the sword while my good friends have no need of me. But after a few years, I was suddenly called to the presence of the Moon People and to my surprise, I wasn´t the only one appointed that day. And what´s more, I haven´t been called just for the good times.
"Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flames so hot it melts our hearts
Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out
But not this time
Let your colors burn and brightly burst
Into a million sparks that all disperse
And illuminate a world that'll try to bring you down
But not this time
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight
A thousand heart beats beat in time
It makes this dark planet come alive
So when the lights flicker out tonight
You gotta shine
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight."
First shot and coming through!
