A week after she meet up with Lance and the letter, she was finally going to have a month of freedom due to her aunt going away on business. She brushed her hair as she pulled it back in a braid. She looked at the mirror, she had healed the broken cheekbone as she looked at her face. She had some teeth that were jagged not straight and a huge overbite. She had high cheekbones with tan skin with white hair that shine with silver – metallic as the light hit it. She looked at the blue eyes that were filled with something she couldn't describe.
As she turned away from the mirror she never notice the image had stayed in change. The image had changed to a woman with hair that floated around her with light as her eyes shine with light. The image smiled at a straight teeth smile as it disappear in a proof of smoke.
Luna grabbed a gym bag put clean clothes in there as she pulled on jogging pants, and a tank top pulling on a gray hoodie. She jogged to the gym with her mp3 player drumming through her ears. As she popped the door open, she saw it was her customer from the restaurant punching at a punching bag hard. She was walking to the boxing arena when the bag flew and landed in front of her. She jumped as she tripped over her bag. He didn't recognize her without her black wig. She had to wear it, due to her aunt didn't want to be social with a freak, and so anytime Luna worked at a job. She would hid her real hair under a normal color wig.
As he rushed over, he held his hand out, "I am so sorry ma'am. I didn't see you there."
Luna blinked as she grabbed ahold of his hand, she muttered, "And I thought I had a strange right hook."
He blinked, "Excuse me?"
Luna smiled, "I thought I was the only one who could punch a bag like that."
Luna always called him Blondie, when she saw Red and Sandy walk in. She waved toward them, "Hey, Red. Hey, Sandy."
Red snorted, and smiled a grin, but frowned as Sandy stuck his tongue out and yelped as Red knocked him upside the head. They went to the boxing arena as Blondie helped her up as she stood up high. She watched them circle one another as they were quick and fast. Neither could land a hit as Blondie watched. Luna sighed as she left the three alone. She picked up a stray punching bag, and after wrapping her hands. She started punching, kicking and upper cutting. The memories were coming with each hit.
Freak! Punch! Whore! Kick! Who do you think you are? Upper cut! Monster! Lower cut!
The punches were going faster, then harder that the bag started to swing on its chain. Blondie turned to look at the hard expression as she was baring her teeth as she growled, and snarled. Luna kept work up a sweat, as she landed a hard punch that sent the punching bag through the air and broke in half. The two remains made a crater in the wall as Luna was twitching keeping the energy contain. As she unzipped her bag, she pulled out some throwing knives. She started walking as she threw them as she flipped in the air, she threw. She twist on the ball of her feet, she threw. She kept herself in motion as she threw the knives to her target.
As she swung her right leg out, she laid her upper body against her left thigh as she stood up, seeing her target full of knives directly in the middle. She walked over pulling out the knives, she turned to see Red's eyebrows up, and Sandy had his mouth wide open. Blondie was looking at her, the target and the punching bag. She went to the showers with her bag in tow. She was in the locker room when Red opened the door, "Where did you learn to throw like that?"
Luna shrugged her shoulders, "I know a lot of stuff, but don't know where I learned it."
Red nodded, "Maybe you should work for my company, we are called –"
Luna straighten up as she slammed her boot down on the cement floor, "Don't care. I just want to get on with my life. I got enough in it already. I don't need some poor ass job."
Luna rushed out of the gym with her boots clicking on the hardwood floor as Red jogged behind her as Luna pushed the door open. She ran, she looked over her shoulder to see Blondie at the door as Sandy pulled back an arrow. She kicked it in high gear. As she ducked under the flying whistling arrow, she pushed her heels into the ground as she laid her body parallel to the ground. As the arrow sailed over her head. She blinked as she saw the man that gave her the card watched her slid by him. He blinked as the arrow hit a building. She pushed herself up with the air as she righted herself up.
As she looked around, she sighed as she pulled the fur vest closer to her body as she walked back to her home. She neared the steps, when she saw a red box with a red bow on it. It was the same handwriting on it as the letter from before. She grabbed the letter and the box as she entered the house.
She sighed as she went to the dining room, she gently laid the box down as she pulled the bow, which exploded in a gentle flow as the ribbon pulled itself away from the box. She blinked, she had never seen ribbon do that before. She pulled the top box off, seeing tissue paper, she pulled the paper back to reveal a bow. She pulled the bow to see that it was the perfect weight for her, she squeeze the bow. It didn't bend under her strength. She pulled the bow closer as she looked at the Celtic work on the bow. She looked at the ivy that circled the bow. As she strummed the quiver, she looked down at the arrows and its holder. (Does anyone know what the holder that holds the arrows is call). The woven patchwork was enchanting at the crescent moon with an icy castle in the background. She smiled as she went to a shooting range, she pulled the arrow back. Luna's back tight as she firmed her stomach as she straighten her arms. She let it fly as she watched it twist and turn in the air. It shot right through the middle of its target. It hit a bull's eye. She went back to her home as she remembered the letter. She back to her room as she hid the bow and arrows.
She gently slice the top of the letter with a letter opener. She opened the letter in the now familiar writing.
"Dear Luna,
I hope you enjoyed my present. I wanted to see if you are as strong as a warrior when they pulled back on the arrow. I thought it would fit you, my dear. I had seen you throw the knives at your home. I knew that you were the warrior that shall be my side. I am glad that you have freedom from how do you would you said it, the banshee. She shouldn't treat a princess like you in harming you. I wonder, why don't you fight back? Do you have an honor code that you keep that keeps you from defending yourself? I saw you at that gym, you call it, the power, speed, and strength is nearly comparable with me. How do you do it? I would love to see a smile on your face? A true genuine smile should be on your face, not a frown. I must take my leave. Forgive me, my lady.
Sincerely,
Your Trickster."
Luna sighed as she saw what time is was. She laid in her bed as she hid the letter away. She fell into a restless sleep.
She was flying high above the mountain as fire was shot in front of her as a black beast was destroyed. She was lifted higher in the air as a man with one eye in a armor came crashing toward her as he lifted a metal hammer. He slammed it down on her nose as she was flying through the sky. Not flying, she was falling. She could hear people screaming as they watched her fall. "Sister!"
She had brothers that she need to look after. They were too young to be on their own. As she fell back to Earth, she was watching the clouds as they went by her. She snorted, if only, if only, she could open her wings. She didn't have wings to fly her away from her falling doom.
She couldn't bare it. She looked to her right to see beside her to see a woman shining in bright yellow light, she turned to her left to see a woman shining in red light. She was falling in golden light. She remembers a man that was yelling for her to wake up, it was not her time.
It was her time to die, it was time for the new generation to be reborn and become the next Guardian as she opened her eyes she looked at the bright orange moon. She smiled as she felt a heat in her body, as her body started turning to golden lights starting with her feet. She looked back at the man that was flying toward her, he was so sorry. He hadn't mean to hit her, he didn't know that she was the protector of this world.
He was reaching for her, he wasn't getting close enough to her as she lifted her hand, he barely touched her hand as it disappeared in lights, she smiled, and "I forgive you, Buri."
He yelled as she started to disappear. She was the only one who could keep the peace between the battleground of heaven and hell. She was the keeping of the planet. She was the giver of life, she was the keeper of Death. She was the master of Water, the master of healing. The master of Truth. She was the master of all masters. She was a teacher, a giver, a healer, a mother and a sister.
She was the only one that had no husband, but her husband and mate had not been born yet. She felt a jerk as her neck was turning into lights. She was at the ocean as her body finally turned into golden lights. The planet started shifting as it cried for its protector. The creatures went into hiding as the people started running for cover as volcanoes erupted in a fierily blast. Mountains started lifting themselves higher into the sky. Rivers were flooding with tears as the ocean sent powerful waves to the beaches.
The God looked down on the planet, tears were falling from his face as he drank in the guilt. He had destroyed a very powerful protector over this realm. She was beautiful and powerful, how would he ever forgive himself. He threw his head back, as the sky rumbled with sadness', "Pangaea, I am sorry!"
As the planet destroyed life that it had living on it. It didn't care, its mother was gone. She felt that she would never get her mother back as it cried out in anguish. It forsaken the god's grief for he was the cause of her mother's death. It was about to destroy the very god that had come to help, when it stopped. It held still as it heard a tiny baby cry over all the grief. It shifted trying to find the baby's cry.
The baby was laying in the snow as the dragon brothers flew to the spot. A large beast kneeled before the baby as it giggled at the noise the creature made. The brothers walked toward the baby as blue eyes looked at them. She giggled as they lifted her up to see that she had white hair like that of the snow. The bigger brother calmly spoke, "Welcome back, little sister."
Luna sprung up from her sleep, as she gasp, what a strange dream, and why did she have the dream? She wondered, what am I?
