"Where am I….? It's like I've walked for days….Everywhere I look….death and decay lingers…Why is the world like this….?" A male with brown-haired wandered around the desolated plains of the ruined planet. His destination? He had none. His purpose? He didn't know. All he could do was walk along the seemingly endless road of emptiness and desolation that surrounded him on all sides.
He was all alone and knew that he would soon be destined to die soon enough. Being a human, he was unaffected by the ruin. However, the ruin had successfully destroyed most of the life and resources that were required for a human being to live. With that said, it was safe to assume that he would die eventually due to the lack of human necessities but would most likely outlive most of the robots.
The young man had accepted death's inevitability and had no intention of resisting or fighting against it. He would simply continue to wander until death's merciless veil had wrapped itself around him, freeing him from this slowly fading world of misery and sorrow. Though is he was ever presented with the oppurtunity to save his life, someway or somehow; he would take it.
"It's disgusting isn't it…" the sound a feminine voice immediately caught the male's attention, averting his attention to a nearby pillar. At the very top sat what appeared to be a child with light blue hair and deep blue eyes. She wore a hat on her head that was white in the middle while being red and yellow on the sides. She had on a white mini dress with red on the insides of her collar and matching white boots that stopped slightly below the knee.
The young man examined the appearance of the strange girl before him. It was obvious that she was robotic but the fact that she seemed sparkling new instantly made her seem different from any other robot he had come across during his travels. Who exactly was this girl? Was she immortal? Only immortals could live through the ruin unharmed so that was the only explanation. If she was immortal that would be she had received Luna's blessing.
"The world and its inhabitants are slowly ebbing away with every passing second…No matter where you go…. The world is encased an unavoidable cyclone of bereavement. It is truly disgusting… death is so ugly….wouldn't you agree?" said the young robotic girl as she looked down at the human male on the ground. The young man was silent for a moment before simply nodding his head in response to her question. A small smirk played across her lips as she jumped down from the pillar and landed in front of him gracefully.
"I can save you..." she looked up at him with her deep blue irises, keeping the same smirk plastered on her face. She stared deeply into his eyes, almost as if seeing into his soul. The male's gazed poured back into her eyes. Her piercing gaze almost petrified him to an extent. Save him? What could she have possibly meant by save him? What exactly was this strange girl capable of? So many questions raced through his mind, yet he found himself unable to speak.
The girl closed her eyes and turned around, walking a few feet away from him as a light breeze blew her long bangs gracefully in the wind for a short time before eventually subsiding entirely. She looked back at him, this time smiling instead of smirking. "A single drop of blood from my veins….can grant eternal life. Just…one…drop…"
"Who….are you…?" the male finally managed to say, his curiosity growing increasingly as watched the girl before him. A thought passed his mind about who she may be, but the chances of that girl being who he thought she was were extremely low. She was supposed to be dead after all.
"… my only job is to give life…. to offer healing to those who need it…" she answered vaguely. The male folded his arms for a moment, her vagueness making him even more curious than before. "I see… and you can save me? With your blood?" he was highly skeptical of her claims and wasn't quick to believe her just yet.
"Yes…just a single drop…" said the girl as she kneeled down, picking up a broken piece of glass from the ground and examined it closely. "And why should I believe you?" he asked, continuing to watch her movements carefully in case of the event that she tried to pull a fast one on him. The light blue haired child turned around completely to face him, still holding the broken glass piece in her hands. "I can prove it…" she placed the sharpest end of the glass against her index finger and pricked it with just enough force to make it bleed.
This shocked the young man, He had believed her to be robotic based off appearances alone. However, after witnessing her bleed he was starting to second guess himself. Robots were incapable of shedding blood. So, how was she…
"If you drink my blood… you will be given eternal life. Just one tiny drop is all it takes…" she said, walking towards him slowly with her finger extended towards him. "One….drop…." he thought as the girl inched closer and closer to him. Was she serious with her claims? Could she really grant him eternal life that easily? He was uncertain on what to believe at this point. He was going to die one way or the other so even if the girl was lying to him it wouldn't matter. What harm could one little taste do?
The young man slowly kneeled down to be on the same level as the girl as he slowly opened his mouth to show he was ready to have her blood. "Good…" she said, flicking a small amount of her blood into his mouth. Once the blood had reached his tongue he slowly closed his mouth and swallowed it.
Initially, he didn't feel any different. After a few seconds he felt the hunger had felt suddenly vanish into thin air. Any form of fatigue he felt had also disappeared entirely. Was what she had true? Did her blood really grant him immortality? That was impossible…the only one capable of doing that was…
"You are now healed…" the girl turned around once more and slowly began to walk away, not saying a word further. The young man immediately rose up and called out to the girl. "Wait! What is your name?!" he had to be sure who she was. He couldn't let her walk away from him without knowing her identity. It was possible that she could be the one everyone was searching desperately for.
The girl stopped, not turning back as yet another breeze blew past them. "Give me your name… and I shall give you mine." She answered. The male took a deep breath, nodding his head. "I am Tristen." He responded to girl before silently awaiting her name in response. Silence filled the air for a moment before the girl turned her head for a final time and smiled sweetly at the brunette. "Some call me the sun that was named moon….most call me… Luna…."
