Chosen by the Moon
By Saori-Luna

Time had changed, and so did she, even if essentially she was still the same. That was the price of being a timeless entity, powerful and divine.

Regina couldn't stop to think about this as she took her bag and went to work. To deal another night.

Even if Renaissance was long time ago, she couldn't forget that, that had been the last age when she had felt comfortable in the human world. She didn't like this Contemporary age, everything was so unnatural, and she had lost a lot of her power over the humans. Because they had lost the belief of Gods and Goddesses having influence over them.

She can barely feel comfortable about her new name: Regina. The one that has born to be a Queen. Queen of the Night. Queen of Magic.

She loved her job. Being the nocturnal veterinary at a local zoo allowed her to be with her beloved friends, and watching them in peace, a peace they lost at daytime when thousands of visitors molest them.

Even then, she felt like she was missing parts of herself, being just the previously known as "Artemis".

But lunar energy was tripartite. What about Selene? And Hecate?

She arrived to work, overthinking, and because of that she didn't notice the voice of her boss until he was right next to her.

-Regina, do you have a moment? I want to introduce you the new security guard.

She finished the bandage of the deer and turn around.

He was looking at her. A shocking blue gaze that made her feel dizzy.

-Are you ok? - he said.

Regina got lost into his eyes before she could say anything.

-I'm alright. I'm just stood up quickly.

He smiled .

-I'm glad. My name is Robin. I'll be the new night security guard.

-Nice to meet you, I'm Regina, the nocturnal veterinary

The boss hawked, making them jump.

-Regina, I already showed Robin the zoo, I would like for you to tell him what he should care about the animals, so he can call you in case of an emergency.

Regina nodded.

They start to walk in an uncomfortable silence.

-It's a beautiful night, don't you think? Too bad there is no full moon.

-Actually, we are on waning crescent moon. It will be a while for the moon to be full.

Another uncomfortable silence.

-I'm so sorry – she said, blushing– I'm kinda a moon freak.

He smiled.

And the ice was broken.

Regina begin to enjoy the nights even more. Robin was charming, and he made her laugh, he also shared her love for animals and night.

As the moon keeps vanishing from the sky, Regina begins to feel restless. She knew she was going to a crossroad. In a way, she wanted to let everything go, but in the other, what was the point if he was going to die at some point?

With the New Moon, Regina took a license and she went home to work in her magic. She needed some clarity. On the third day a gentle knock sound at her door.

-Regina, ¿are you there?

His voice... she didn't know she had miss it so much

-Robin? What are you doing here? How did you find me?

He smiled, but the smiled didn't catch his eyes.

-You hadn't got to work in several days, you didn't tell me anything, so, I had extort the boss to get your adress.

-Seriously?

-Of course not, I took it from the emergency directory. So, how are you?

Regina looked at him. She couldn't stop to thinking about him, and she thought she had took a decission.

-I'm fine. I had some personal issues to solve, but i will go to work tonight. Thank you for caring.

She closed the door at his face. SHE HAD CLOSED THE DOOR AT HIS FACE! Maybe, he had misunderstood her signals.

With the arrival of the crescent moon, things had begun to change between them.

Regina was so happy, and he was so confused.

-I don't get it Regina, I don't know if I'm becoming crazy, or you are sending mixed signals to me .

She looked at him full of compassion. She couldn't say that he wasn't doing everything in his power to understand her.

-Maybe this will help- she said, as she bring him closer.

It was the best first kiss in his life. He thought later.

-Tomorrow is Full Moon

Regina looked at him, surprised.

-Is it?

-Yeah, I checked it- he said. Of course, he couldn't tell her that he has became more aware of moon phases since they had met. - And I would like to invite you for dinner as we finish the turn.

-Dinner?

-Well, yes, sun is not out when we left work, so I guess it can be called dinner.

She smiled.

-It's a date.

Moon was still visible when they arrived into his apartment.

It was the best date she had had.

She was 100% sure about her decision.

That afternoon, when he woke up, Robin felt different. He had had the best sleep ever.

But that was not a reason to explain all the shine around him

-Regina?

In front of him, she was shining too, wearing a greek robe. Then thousands of memories hit his mind. He could see her, her entire existence, in all her phases, always beautiful, always alone.

Until now.

-Did you choose me?

She smiled with relieve, letting go that little worry about he rejecting her.

-Is alright?

He smiled, getting close to her to kissing her.

Since that day, Moon was never alone.

THE END

Author's note: so, this was the last. I love greek mythology, specially the lunar myths, since my real name is Diana. I was inspired by the Endimion myth. Some of you probably have heard of him because of Sailor Moon. For this one, I took the figures of Artemis- Selene and Hécate into Regina, I hope you liked it! See you in another opportunity.
