Woohoo! Third update for a story today. I finally got around to updating this story. So I guess the last story to update is Soothing Rivers and then I'll go ahead with my first story of my 2017 Debut list, Feathered Droplets. I've decided to make it have a the same word length as Red Moon Nine. I honestly wanted it to be either 400 or 450, but I prefer the word count to be a set number below 400 though (unless under special circumstances).

Vchanny: I know right :(

Xilliet: I'm starting to feel like a broken record at this point. I'm glad you think the story is good, but I unfortunately will not make it longer than what I wish or want it to be. The ideas I have are best written in below 500 words and it also calls for frequent updates from when I have time to spare. How is it frustrating? You can always wait for more chapters to be added before reading the story and I encourage you to do so. Also, I do not write fillers and never will (I hate fillers). Every chapter has a purpose. I wouldn't spend close to an hour writing a chapter if that wasn't the case.

Flareup4Ratchet: She hasn't seen any picture of him at all and so, didn't know "who" he was. And things are still being kept from her, but she'll figure them out in due time. After all, Mau's politics are quite...questionable.


Red Moon Nine

7/ Belittle

Words tend to hurt like ice. The belittlement had risen and made her feel worthless again. Luna had had her fair share of them, ever since she was a kitten within city and forced into labor within the castle, but they stopped once Mau took the steps to ensure those words never met her ears. Such a kind soul she was. And such a soul Luna needed now. Who would kill a feline like her? Luna understood politics played a lethal game with those involved. Mau had made it very clear.

So why did Mau's life needed taken? To what did it ensure? Lately, those questions slowly tapped at the back of her mind and with the heavy workload, she hardly had time to think about them. At least when Artemis didn't occupy her mind. Speaking of the prince, Luna hadn't seen him since.

Sighing she watched Nyanko, who was suddenly brought to the palace, twirling around the garden, "He's so handsome! Don't you agree? Though perhaps I'm not such a match…" she pondered turning to her. 'I don't have the beauty Mau possessed."

Couldn't agree more Luna wanted to roll her eyes, "Then again, at least he would have a better status and looking wife than what he would've had before. Uncle Chronos didn't want an heir of a tainted bloodline," Nyanko smirked. The words cut through her. Nyanko had done nothing, but belittled her at any chance she had.

Why they were together? Because Chronos suggested she learn to be a Lady's Companion once more seeing as he would keep to the old way and ignore the successor chosen. And yet something bothered Luna. Uncle Chronos? She hoped that was something Nyanko referred to the feline as and not an indication of clear relations.

Luna appeared bored and stood up, "I…have lessons to go to, Lady Nyanko. I'll request another maid to substitute in my absence," she bowed, the words tasted bitter on her tongue. She longed to go back to her freed status and yet here she was, stuck as a servant.


You'll get your freedom eventually, Luna. In the meantime, its best you start asking questions before Nyanko takes the throne and you're forced back into servitude completely. Until the next chapter!
