Chapter One: The Rendezvous
Well...................................................
It all began on a hot day on Ecstasy.
Luna shuffled her feet around in the dust. Her sixth birthday was quickly approaching, and her parents were already planning out the party.
But what she really wanted, was a friend, someone around her age whom she could play with.
Not caring if she got her dress dirty, she plopped down on the soft ground and looked at the Moon from afar.
Her mother had always told her stories that a beautiful moon goddess named "Symphony" lived deep within the Moon. Then, a couple of weeks ago, her mother told her that Symphony would birth a baby girl, named "Selenity".
Luna clasped both of her hands together and closed her eyes.
"If there really is a moon goddess, please let her hear my plea. I want a companion, a friend, a-"
"Who are you talking to?"
Luna whirled around. Right behind her, she saw a boy, around her age, with long white hair and stunning gray eyes.
"Um, who are you? What are you doing on my family's star?" She stood and backed away.
"YOUR family's star?" He asked, looking smug.
"Yes, boy, my family's star. My whole genealogy has owned this star for over a thousand years. It's ours. So what are YOU doing on it?"
"I'm scavengering, you see I live right over there, in the Cluster of Craters," He pointed to the East. "And I love finding new places. What is this star called?"
"Um, Ecstasy, I think. But do not quote me."
"Hmm, Ecstasy, I've heard of that before." He rubbed his chin.
Luna blushed. This boy could be her new friend! She smiled. "Um, do you want to be friends?"
"Friends? I don't have friends." He turned his back to her.
"Well, I don't either, but we could start, couldn't we?" She whined.
He turned around and sat down with his legs folded. "I mustn't be friends with someone without knowing a name."
She smiled and sat down in front of him. "Okay, my name is Luna."
"Luna, ay? My name is Artemis."
Luna stuck out her tongue. "Eww, Artemis? Why'd your parents name you that?"
Artemis glared at her, so Luna changed the subject.
"So, what is your age?"
"I am 7 and a ½, on the verge of manhood." He stuck out his chest proudly.
Luna giggled. "You're funny! I will be six in two days, on the verge of ladyhood."
Artemis smiled back at her.
Suddenly, Luna's mom, Righteously, came out of her garden.
"Luna, Luna where are you honey?"
"I'm over here, in the dirt patch!"
Her mom walked over and bent down.
"Who was that you were talking to?" She asked. "And WHY are you in the dirt patch with your new dress on?"
"Mommy, I made a new friend, look!" She pointed in front of her, but Artemis was nowhere to be seen.
"B-but, he was just here!" She exclaimed, standing up.
Luna's mom smiled. "I am sure he was darling. Now, we must go get you cleaned up. Your father will arrive shortly." And with that, she picked Luna up and carried her inside the house.
Artemis watched from a far, hiding in a bush. He wanted to talk to her longer, but if that got back to his family, he was a goner.
