Once upon a time, there lived a girl in a far off land. She had beautiful skin with a light kiss from the sun, lips a rose pink, and hair as purple as the night sky. For her beauty, the moon goddess placed a mark in the shape of a crescent moon on the left side of her face.
As a kid, she thought her mark was beautiful, but as she got older, the kids would pick on her for it so bad that she would run home crying. She ran into the forest to the abandoned moon temple where nobody ever went. Years passed and one day a strange woman came to the village riding a horse as black as night without the moon and had white spots that made it look like stars. The strange woman was looking at all the girls not seeing the one she wanted. The woman had hair as white as snow, skin as cold as ice, and lips a light rose red. She asked the townspeople "I'm looking for a girl with a moon birthmark on her face. Is she here?"
The strange woman sounded hopeful that she would be here for she has searched all over the kingdom and there was only one more village after this one. The old man looks up at the woman and just points to the forest. "Last we saw her, she was in the old moon temple," the man says and walks away. The woman rides to the moon temple and starts to think about her mother 10 years ago before she came down to earth.

"Mom why must I find a girl with the same marking as me just on the other side of her face?" she asks. "Because if you do, the sun god
will stop this war. And if he gets her, he will take more of our time to make everything beautiful. She is our beauty, our night. We need her." the moon goddess explains to her daughter.*end flashback*
"Mother, why pick her and protect her in your temple with the moon beast whom you were trying to keep out?" she wonders to herself.
Eventually, she reached the temple and walks inside. Seeing the girl singing to herself, she knocks on the wall scaring the poor girl. "Who are you? Why are you here?!" the girl yells, scared having never seen her before and her mark starts to glow. "Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to marry you," the women explains. The mark of the moon starts to glow on the woman's face as well. "My name is Grace Moon. What is your name?" Grace looks over at the girl seeing fresh cuts on her legs and arms from a whip.
The girls' eyes change from a green-blue color to almost black/brown as she starts to talk while Grace's turn back to the green-blue color. "I'm Luna. I don't have a last name but I'm 19; soon to be 20." Luna says as she toys with her purple hair. Luna walks out of the darkness and the moonlight. As it hits her hair, the moonlight makes it look like it glowing and her skin looks so soft. Grace bites her lower lip now seeing why her mom chose her as her forever mate.
"Luna means the moon you know. Also, where are your parents?" Grace quizzically asks. "Yes I know, I love the moonlight and I don't know. They left me here when I was five years old. I was born here and my father would go to the village to get food but then one day they just left." Luna sighs. She was never mad at her parents for leaving, unlike most people. She was just happy the beast of the forest played with her. Grace sees how happy Luna is and starts to smirk "oh Luna, how would you like to live at my place? The house is far too big for just me." Grace puts her hand out towards Luna
hoping that she picks to live with her. She wants to treat her right, like the goddess she looks like and soon will be. Grace looks up and sees Luna face shocked and looking around at the fond memories she made here. Luna looks at Grace's hand, then her face, seeing it would make Grace happy to live with her.
"Well it is hard to find something new around here, so I guess why no-" Luna starts as she was cut off by the earth shaking and fire making a perfect circle around her. As a bright light comes from the ceiling, a strange voice boomed from the fire "it's been too long Luna." a strange voice comes from the ball of fire.
