I've been waiting to write one about my favorite Moon Spirit.
Day #10: Silver
Characters: Yue
Setting: Pre-Siege of the North
7/15/12
She had always loved the moon. She thanked the Spirit everyday for the life it had given her as a baby.
Yue would look at the moon every night, as if she were drawn to it. Then she remembered that part of the moon lived in her as she ran her hand through the long white waves that she let cascade down her back during the nighttime.
One of her favorite things about it was the glow it cast over everything. Some people found the moon's light to be eerie, because it showed things in a different way than during the daytime, but not her. She loved the silver light that it cast, reflecting on the snow and water that surrounded her home. It drenched everything in its radiance, revealing an entirely different world that she could wander around and explore for hours.
In this world, she wasn't a Princess, she didn't have to fold her hands in her lap, and laugh politely at jokes that weren't funny. In this world she was an explorer, and she could go wherever she liked, roaming around the empty streets. She never once ran into another person, not even a waterbender enjoying the power the moon gave them.
In addition to life, the moon also gave her freedom.
I have these thoughts that Yue was actually adventurous and she wanted to go out and explore the world, but she knew she never could because of her duties to her tribe, so instead she pretended to explore when she was young, and the older she got the further out into the city she went.
I JUST REALLY HAVE A LOT OF YUE FEELS.
I CAN'T DEAL.
Please review!
