there's a pretty girl in the forest
Hara sees Luna, really sees her, for the first time in the Forbidden Forest.
Luna is barefoot. There is mud upon her knees and ankles. Her corn-silk hair is down and swaying about her waist with sticks and leaves tangled in knotted strands. She is talking to several ghostly horse-shaped creatures and has hunks of raw meat in her hands. Hara's breath catches in her throat.
She is the prettiest girl, being, thing Hara has ever seen.
Hara can almost glimpse a crown of white bones atop her head and wings of gossamer magic spread wide behind her back, but when she blinks there is nothing. Just hair and trees and a small girl who seems so very large in the forest.
When Luna turns to greet her, radish earrings swing and ancient, otherworldly eyes full of starlight and swirling galaxies look through her, peering into her very soul. There is blood smeared, a vibrant red, across her pale cheek and she focuses upon it. The desire to lick it clean from her face sparks within her before she accepts Luna's extended hand and clasps it tight. It feels like a promise.
She doesn't let go.
