Chapter 1: the last winter

It was the year 1300 on the moon clipper. A big party was held in honour off the 500th birthday off the ship and all sorts off guests from all around the Galaxy came to celebrate. The brightest two lights at the party however… were the Tsar and Tsarina's two children. Prince lunar and princes Fellandia Lunanoff.

Prince Lunar the eldest was eight years old age now and would soon move to the top decks off the moon clipper to be prepared for the day he would becomes Tsar. Meaning his six year old sister wouldn´t see him as match as she used to, which was quite troublesome for the young princes, because she was quite close with her older brother and his bodyguard nightlight as well as to their younger brother Prism. Both the prince and princes had begged their parents to wait a few years until Fellandia could join her brother in the upper decks as well. But the Tsar and Tsarina had told their children that it was high time for Lunar, since they had a feeling they wouldn´t have match time left in this world. So prince Lunar had used some off her pocket money to let the royal jewel maker craft a very special gift for his sister. To make the separation easier… for both Fallandia and himself.

"Fellandia!" Lunar called, waving at his sister, who was just then at the dance floor with her father when he and his bodyguard nightlight arrived from picking the gift up. "here I am sis!"

"LUNAAAR!" Fellandia called, waving at her brother and making a silly face at him behind their fathers back. giggling happily when her father picked her up and spinned her around, hugging her close, before putting her down so she could run to her brother. "look what I drew ya!"

happily the six year old gave him a drawing she had made off the two of them standing together on the top deck along with their parents, Prism and Nightlight. The drawing was of course drawn by a six year old so it wasn't what one could call perfect but it certainly got the message across.

"it is beautiful sis! Thank you!" Lunar smiled, putting the painting away to hang at the wall of his new quarters once he got there. "I also have something for you"

with these words he got a beautiful golden music box with four green gems in the side as well as the images of four stars and in the middle two people that seemed to be dancing

out of his pocket, showing it to his younger sister with a misschievous grin on his face, making Fellandia gasped in delight.

"it's so pretty! Fellandia gasped, taking it over to have a better look at it. "it's a music box"

"indeed, i had the royal craftsman make it for you and Prism to remember this separation won't be forever" Lunar smiled, getting a beautiful golden necklace from his pocket next, which he used to wind up the music box. "it plays our lullaby, play this before you two go to sleep… and imagine me singing along on the top deck"

With these words Lunar opened the music box carefully, making a beautiful melody fill the air.

Far away

Long ago

Hear this song and remeeember

Soon you'll be

On top deck with me…

Once upon a deceeeembeeer

The children sang together, doing a little curtseyed when the song ended. after which Lunar carefully closed the music box. Carefully taking out the necklace key which he then handed to his sister.

"read what it says Fellandia" Lunar instructed happily as his sister carefully took the necklace key over.

"together on the moon clipper, together on top deck" Fellandia read, making a funny face because the letters were very small making it hard for her to read them clearly. "very soon brother, very soon"

"and I will convince mother and father to let Prism come with you as your bodyguards since I have nightlight with me as mine" Lunar smiled.

"that would be awesome! Then we can all be together again!" Fellandia smiled as she hugged her brother close. "speaking of being all together again. Were are Prism and Nightlight now?"

"Nightlight had some things to finish before he would come and join us and Prism…. I don't know…" Lunar death panned as he said the last part. After which both children started to look around for their little adopted brother. Prism was (like usually at parties) hiding behind the thrones off the Tsar and the Tsarina thinking he was ugly to look at. His people had always told him that when he still lived with them. Why would these people be any different? That the Tsar and Tsarina were nice to him didn't meant their guests were automatically nice as well… right? RIGHT?

"FOUND HIM!" this call shook Prism out of his thoughts and look up at the owner of the voice. Making he looked straight into the bright beaming eyes off his adoptive families youngest child Fellandia, who scooper close and gently took his hands in hers. "come on silly! Your going to miss the dance if you keep up playing hide and seek!"

"i wasn't playing hide and seek! I was hiding cause I don't dance" Prism sputtered, trying to pull away from Fellandia, but the youngest Lunanoff girl held on firmly as she pulled Prism onto the dancefloor.

"dancing is fun!" Fellandia beamed, looking at the people around them to see how they were dancing, before adjusting their poses to match theirs. "If yer afraid to make a fool of yerself then don't be… mommy and daddy told us people won't judge us cause were still young and learning"

"I am not afraid Fellandi! I just don't like people see me" Prism admitted, pulling away from his adoptive sister before he got behind the throne again. "they think I am ugly to look at…. They always do…"

"your not ugly Prism…" Fellandia reassured her adopted brother as she carefully took one step towards him and reached out with one hand. "mommy and daddy don't think your ugly, neither do we… so were did that idea come from ?"

"I hear them talk in the hallway Fellandi... and i don't even blame them" Prism hid his face even more, hiding the fact he was close to crying. "Who wants a ugly fearling around?"

"WE DO! who cares what everyone else thinks…. Your amazing Prism... just the way you are! That will always be enough to us! Lunar brought in, smiling as he walked up behind his sister and reached with his hand towards Prism as well. "Those stiffnecksonly see you at parties anyway so they can talk all they like, they don't even know the real you come on….Dance with us"

Prism, convinced by his siblings words, came out of his hiding spot now a little shyly and took his adoptive brother and sisters hand. Making a circle with his brother and sister in which they start to dance around.

"That looks like fun, might we have this dance children?" The Tsar asked while he and the Tsarina walked over to the children.

"Why of course mommy... daddy" Fellandia smiled, doing a slight curtseyed before allowing the adults into the circle as well. The Tsar getting in between Lunar and Prism while the Tsarina got between Fellandia and Prism.

"And don't forget the bodyguard" Nightlight beamed, also joining the circle from behind Prism, since he had just returned from his duties. Makinh Prism beamed happily. Happy he was wanted and happy they were all together now.

In that one moment everything was perfect for the Lunanoff children as they were happily dancing and sharing a happy moment together

And then that moment ended...

Suddenly all the lights went out appart from the light emanating from the four lunannoff's and Nightlight as siren's started to cry andi the ship started to shake violently. The children looked around in shock when people started to scream in panic when the moon Clipper grinded to a hold. After which a horrifying launch could be heard over the intercom.

"Aaaaah one off the famous Lunanoff parties i heard so match about" a deep voice called over the intercom next, making a shiver go down their spines. "I assume... my invite got lost in the mail"

"Obscures..." the Tsar realized with a look off horror on his face. Stepping before the children to protect them in case that was needed. "You are not welcome at this party! GET OUT!"

"Get out? I just got here" Obscures launched. Again the ship shook, the lights flickered the walls banged after which something slithered into the high ball room... something BLACK, something SLIMY, something HUGE. "I didn't even have a appetizer yet"

With these words the black thing launched himself at the closest guests and swallowed him whole, causing everyone in the room to scream in terror while obscures merely launched.

"match better… now on to business…" Obscures let his red glowing eyes glide over the remaining party guests stopping his gaze at Prism poking his head from behind the Tsarina to see what was going on. "I came for the boy and i am not taking "no" for a answer"

"Lunar.. what would you want Lunar for?" The Tsar asked, looking at his son with wide eyes full of horror.

"No.. not your spoiled brat off a heir" Obscures let out a high pitched launch that gave everyone in the room the cold shivers. "HIM"

As he said "him" Obscures pointed its big slimy tail at Prism, who backed away looking at the monster before him with wide eyes off shock and horror.

"Prism? What would a MONSTER like you want such a sweet innocent child like Prism" The Tsarina asked, beaming back at her children before giving nightlight a hand sign, the bodyguard immediately understood... "get out of here" ... making him back off slowly, while holding on to Lunar, after signing Prism to do thesame with Fellandia.

"The Tsar and Tsarina want us to get out off here" nightlight whispered. Once all children were gathered behind the tsar and tsarina.

"All exits are blocked and probably guarded...there is no way to get out unseen" princes Fellandia whispered, trembling at the notion off being trapped.

"The air vents aren't blocked ot guarded though" Prism smirked, pointing at the air vent they sat close to. "And i am sure i would be able to pry it open"

"How? With what?" Nightlight asked firmly, though it clear from the expresion on his face he WAS impressed with Prism's ingenuity.

"This might help" Prism looked up at Fellandia, gasping when he saw she had plucker one of the golden pins from her hair meant to keep it in place. and now offered it to Prism.

"Fellandia your a genius" prism smirked as he took over the pin and started to pry the screws holding the grate before she air vent lose."this should work"

"Are you sure your going to get it open?" Lunar asked a little afraid looking up every now and again to make sure his mother and father were still keeping Obscures' attention away from them. "I don't want to know what things that thing will do to us if he…"

"he isn't going to get any of us… Lunar…" Prism cut his older adoptive brother off with a firm look on his face, that soon turned to a surprised look. He had never dared to snap at Lunar… were did THAT come from?i won't allow him to harm any of you…I promise…"

"Prism…" Lunar whispered, looking at

his friend with wide eyes, realizing he meant it. They had saved him from a life off horror and abuse... they had taken him in like he was their brother... family... and now Prism, who had always been so shy and reserved was determined to return the favor. "go for it"

After these words Prism went on with his work. He managed to pry open the gate that blocked the air vent, managing within a few minutes, after which he climbed in first, followed by Lunar and Fellandia and nightlight last one to climb in, and before he followed the other he turned around and placed the grate back in place to cover up the place they escaped from.

"Prism… do you have any idea were this air vent leads to?" Fellandia asked after a little while of climbing through the air vent. Her voice trembling because she was scared.

"I don't know Fellandia… not yet... but I know one thing… we have to hide and let the adults handle the big monster thingy" Prism answered from the front of the row while keeping his face out before him to hide he was just as scared as the others. Sure he knew they were all frightent... his species had always been very good at picking up fear. But despite that and the fact that he wasthe youngest off the group he realized he had to be strong and keep everyone moving. let the adults handle the ugly monster. And after all the Lunanoff's had done for him… he was going to be big and strong and protect the others… no matter what happened or what would become off him "once the coast is clear they will surely come and look for us"

"do you think Papa and mama will be ok?" This question coming from Lunar made a shiver go down Prism's spine as he halted and looked up at Lunar for a moment. "will they be able to kill the monster?"

"I'm sure they will be just fine" Prism reassured the oldest Lunanoff child, while at the same time also trying to reassure himself everything was going to be just fine. His adoptive family was so powerful… and they had so many powerful guards, servants and guests visiting for the party around them…. Yeah! Yeah! Their parents were going to be just fine... no way that monster would be able to lay a hand on them…. "remember… your mother and father have a greath many powerfull servants, guards and guests with them in the ballroom. No way that monster will be even to lay even a fingernail on them... you'll see! They won't have a single scratch on them when they come looking for us"

"Yeah! And once the big ugly monster is good and death papa and mama will come look for us" Fellandia called, eyes beaming at the idea. "And then we'll get hot coco and lots off hugs and kisses and Lunar will be Tsar one day and..."

Fellandia trailed off when she said this, knowing that (if their parents survived) they would still be separated from each other for a while. something Fellandia wasn't looking foreward to.

"Yeah... and thought we will be briefly separated it won't be forever... we will see each other again" Lunar chimmed in, seeing his sisters drop in attitute all off a sudden and knowing exacly what caused it. Gently taking her hand in his own and giving it a little squeeze to encourage her. "Momma and Papa assured us we would once you turned eight as well"

Prism and nightlight smiled at this and also moved their hands back, briefly touching Fellandia's hand to give her courage before they went back to the matter at hand; crawling throught this narrow air vent in order to get away from whatever that monster was.

"There! I think i can see something off a light up ahead!" Prism called after a while off climbing through the narrow air vents in silence, Each off the childeren alone with their own thoughts. This call from Prism made the other childeren gasped behind him in excitement, looking over the shoulder off Prism as he pryed open this grate next. Clawing out first to make sure the coast was clear before he helped the others out as well.

"Where... where are we?" Fallandia asked, looking around a little unsure when she had gotten out of the air vent as well.

"Were... were on top deck..." Lunar noted after looking around a bit more. Seeing there was a fork in the hallway. Splitting into four seperate hallways "Mommy and daddy showed me around here the other day... as preparation for... tommorow..."

"Are there any good hiding spots around here?" Prism asked, looking around to make sure that slimy monster wasn't listening in on them or showed up out of nowhere... "were we can all hide together?"

"No... there are several good hiding spots... but their never going to be big enough to hide all of us at once" Lunar answered, looking around with a scared look in his eyes. Fearing what would happen itf they didn't hide fast. "We... we would do best if... if we split up"

"Split up!" Fallandia gasped, eyes wide in horror at the mere idea to be appart from the others. "I dunno Lun-Lun... that sounds awfully dangerous..."

"I dare to disagree your highness" Nightlight looked at Fallandia with a calm gentle look. "If we split up we might be able to hide better. Meaning we have a higher chance to survive"

"Indeed... and it won't be forever" Lunar smiled, taking his sisters hands in his own. "We will see each other again when momma and papa come looking for us... when the coast is clear"

"We best get going now... before those things come looking for us" Prism stated, giving Lunar a firn nod. Lunar nodded back in understanding before pulling his siblings in a tight hug.

"Be safe" he whispered to no one in particular, before he let them go. All off them gave each other one final nod before they each took a hallway to get to a safe hiding spot.

Yet only after taking a few small steps into the hallway he was supposed to go into, Prism fell a tingle going down his spine. Knowing this meant danger Prism sprinted back to the fork in the hallway and walked to the entrance off each off the other hallways to feel were the danger came from. Running after Fellandia as soon as he fell the danger tingle had come out off her haway. Managing to grab her arm and pull her away in the nick off time before a shadow monster the size off a elephant could have grabbed her.

"THIS WAY!" Prism called, pulling Fellandia with him into the prism white hallways and towards the fork again, leading her into the hallway he was supposed to go into at top speed while holding his adoptive sister close, looking back every now and again to see if the shadow creature was still following them. Which it was.

"P...Prism..." Fallandia called, panting behind Prism as she struggled to keep up.

"Don"t worry Fallandi... i gotcha... just... stick close to me" Prism told the Princes with a stern look on his face. Determined to keep his adoptive sister save... even at the cost off his own life.

"I'm scared... were are Nightlight and lun-lun..." Fellandia asked, tears running down her cheecks as she clung to Prism's arm.

"If their smart they are hidden and they stay hidden" Prism replied as they entered a big cargo room, were Prism pulled Fellandia behind a few crates. Only sighting in releave when he was sure the monster passed by. After which he looked around the room they were in. His entire features brightent up when his eyes fell on some escape pods. "And we gotta do thesame"

"Escape pods" Fellandia realized, smirking when she started to catch on to what her adopted brother was thinking. "Prism your so smart!"

Prism visibly collored at the compliment, his days on his home planet hadn't yet left his memories. Not even when he started to live a match happier life with the royal lunanoff's and finally got treathed as a own child... instead off a abomenation. Yet despite that a compliment had been rare then and it still made him visicly uneasy...

"Aaah it's nothing... " Prism smiled, heading to the control pad and put in the codes for auto launch. Maybe if he left the ship the monster would come after him and not his adoptive family... who had been nothing but kind and caring to him. Once he was safe and far away the tsar and tsarina could come and call Fellandia, Lunar and nightlight and move on with their...

Prism was snapped out off his thoughts by a loud set off screams, coming from the ballroom right beneath them. As quickly as he could Prism ran to a peep hole in the floor that gave him a direct vieuw on the ballroom. His eyes went wide with horror when he saw the Tsar and Tsarina stood in the middle of the ballroom, covered in blood THEIR BLOOD as they held up swords made of light towards Obscures, whom also seemed to be hurting. All off a sudden, as if knowing Prism was watching them, they lowered their swords and looked up towards Prism. Smiling at him one last time as a golden light envelopped both. "take care of them" the Tsarina mouthed to Prism, before the golden light fully envelloped her and her husband after which they dissapeared from sight.

"Momma...papa..." this snapped Prism out off his trance. Bolting up, he gently pushed Fellandia into one of the escape pods. "Prism... what happened? I heard them scream, Were are they?"

"They are fine Fellandi... their holding off the monster and just screamed for us to get out of here" Prism lied, he knew lying was bad…. But he couldn't tell her the truth… not yet…. Not until Nightlight and Lunar were here as well... "so I have to get your brother and nightlight..."

"Don't leave me behind... please" Fellandia begged, eyes wide in shock at the idea of being left alone.

"I won't be gone long... Just… pretend were playing hide and seek." Prism reassured her with a small smile on his face, since he could clearly see from the smile on her face that she liked that idea. "so keep that thought… and I will be right back"

with these words he dashed into the hallways and started to look for Nightlight and Lunar. Using his senses to feel their fear he managed to find them in record time. And he didn't had to say a word to convince them to follow him back into the bright hallways and towards the room were the escape pods were. Yet when they arrived.

"PRISM HELP!" Fellandia called, squirming in the grib off the black worm like creature that was squeezing her tightly with a evil grin on his face.

"FELLANDIA!" Prism called as he and Lunar took a step towards the creature to try and stop it from hurting her. LEAVE HER ALONE!"

"Then come to me little prism" the creature smirked as it extended his hand. "Join me... and the girl goes free"

"Don't do it Prism! It's a trap!" Fellandia and Lunar called at thesame time as they reached out towards Prism, who looked from Fellandia towards the monster with a thoughtful look before taking a step towards it.

"You promise?" Prism asked, voice trembling as he looked from Lunar to Fellandia who were both shaking their heads in a scared way.

"my dear boy… you have my word" Obscures slithered as he held out his tail towards Prism, who hesitated one more moment before he grabbed the tail firmly with one hand, before he held out the other.

"good, you have me…." Prism remarked with a firm voice, reaching with his free hand towards Fellandia, who looked at him with big fearful eyes. "now let her go"

"hmmm NO" Obscures smirked as he shook Fellandia firmly in his grasp. "we can't have her and her bothersome brother come to your aid now can we?"

"You PROMISED" Prism snapped with a scowled at the shadow before him, as he tried to grab Fellandia. "YOU GAVE YOUR WORD!"

"OO BOOHOO cry me a river!" Obscures snapped back, closing in on Prism with his face. "didn't you know yet little prism? Adults always lie…"

"they DON'T! Prism don't listen to him!" Fellandia called, tears running over her face as Obscures increased the pressure on her body. "your better then that… you know mommy and daddy would never…"

Fellandia started to call out towards Prism, but she was stopped when Obscures roughly threw her into one of the open escape pods. Throwing it closed before he smashed the control pannel.

"NOOOOO!" Prism called, biting in Obscures's Tentacle with all his might, before he dashed into another escape pod and pressed the launch button. Pressing the buttons to make the pod go as fast as possible to catch up to the pod Fellandia was in. He could see the scared look in her eyes when he got closer and he could see her mouth move… she was clearly calling out to him a"HOLD ON FELLANDI! I AM COMING!"

Just when Prism wanted to attach his pod tp hers black shadow made a shockwave go down Fellandia's pod, sending it further away from Prism's Pod and into the magnatic pull off the planet bellow them. Prism could hear Fellandia's scream off fear in his head and he was unable to do anything but watch in horror as the pod catched on fire then dissapered from sight.

"FELANDIAAAAA! FELANDIAAAAAAA!" Prism called, banging on the window in his desperation to get to his adoptive sisters side.

"I am sorry kiddo… but this had to be done… I have big plans for you" Obscures smirked, locking his tail in the front of the pod and pulling it closer to earth. Close enough that Prism could see the crash site. The pod had completely evaporated and there was no sign of survivors. "come now… we have work to do…."

With these words Obscurus pulled the pod witha destrought Prism inside along into the big empty void of space. Just in time to avoid Prism could see someone moved in the wreckage…

*meanwhile up in space*

Lunar and Nightlight had watched by the window as Prism had desperatly tried to save Fellandia and failed in the end…. Making Lunar turned his head away sadly.

"now i have no one left" he mumbled, tears streaming down his face as he spoke. "what once was is now gone forever… "

Nightlight looked away when Lunar said this to hide his own tears, while at thesame time praying that somehow… someway… Fellandia had survived and would find her way home…
