17th - House of Solace Orphanage

A small figure stood outside of the Orphanage with a steady frown pointed at the large building. She understood what it meant but denial crept through her little body like a snake. She wasn't an orphan. Her mother and father were alive but it didn't matter in this kingdom because her family wasn't here with her. She was alone and it was something that she wasn't able to get used to. It'd been two days since she'd first arrived and her loneliness only grew with each passing hour.

The nights were the worst. She didn't want to return to the orphanage where she was forced to try and sleep while unsettling thoughts plagued her. Perhaps she's cursed like her mother. She'd been told that this world wasn't a curse but what else could it be called.

Luna sighed softly before turning away from the Orphanage and walking down the street. When she grew hungry she'd have to return but for now, she was going to avoid the daunting building. Her shoes were a little too big, borrowed from Mono, and every few steps she tripped before regaining her footing once more.

She had no idea where to go or what to do.

20th - Nightime Storm

The nights were the worst and the sudden storm made it unbearable. Luna had hidden under her bed with a blanket over her head for the first hour but she could still hear the rumble and see the bright flashes of light through the nearby window. She cried silently making her throat ache for the voice that she'd lost. She wanted to call someone to come save her but no one could hear her cries.

She thought of her twin brother and knew that he'd have been there with her, holding her to protect her from the angry god that cried out for justice. Sole wasn't with her. It was time for her to be brave.

Luna gathered her blanket and wandered out into the rain. It was difficult to see but she'd been to Mono's home when he'd given her a pair of shoes and she was positive that she knew the way. The wind battered at her tiny form and if she'd been any taller then she would have blown away but she stood strong with her tiny fingers clinging desperately to the blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

Her steps stumbled to a stop when she spotted a figure in the distance. She couldn't make out what it was but stopped, falling to the ground as fear froze her tiny limbs.

23rd - Midday Songs

Her time in the city had been stressful and not without incident but there were calm moments too. In between the hours she found herself looking up at the sky with a thoughtful gaze. Was the storm truly over or was this a lull. Luna had never liked stormy weather and the castle she'd once lived in did nothing to define the noise. It was for this reason that she'd first begun to learn how to play the harp.

The small lyre that she'd been given from Llyewelln sat on her tiny legs as she carefully plucked the cords. The notes were a little different but the strings were the same.

Luna sat on a random street corner and began to gently pluck the lullaby that her mother used to sing to her. It wasn't overly complicated and even when she fumbled she was able to recover and recall the remainder of the song. It was far from perfect and she played one of the sets twice having forgotten what had come next but it was a lovely song. If it wasn't for the frown and slow draw of her fingers it might have sounded happy.

It was an unusual fear but Luna had found herself in the unfortunate situation where she'd nearly been eaten by her father, courtesies of the evil queen. It made her distrustful of adults but she was slowly attempting to conquer her fears by befriending those who seemed like an adult to a small child.

She exhaled a sigh of relief and smiled before lightly tracing another word on Mono's palm.

'Good.'

It was obvious that she was afraid of something and wanted to protect herself. If Mono or someone stronger than herself could be around all the time then it'd be okay but her brother wasn't here. She had to learn how to keep herself safe. Even if it was only for a short period of time.

After a brief pause, she looked thoughtful before tracing another word.

'When?'

[monochromatically]

At least Mono didn’t find the fear that strange, although he realized that a lot of adults around here probably would think otherwise… So, instead, he was glad to put her worries to rest and to avoid her having to bring it up with people that might make her feel weird for having such a fear.

Her question, though, got his attention again. When was a good question, and… Well, the boy had time now since he wasn’t working that afternoon and no climbing lessons with Nida scheduled. So he offered her another clumsy attempt at a smile and tilted his head slightly. “We can start now if you want, or I can explain how I think we’ll do it and then start… Yeah, I think that kinda sounds right. First, I’ll explain stuff, then we can start.” Mono was rather new to the idea of teaching other people’s stuff. Most kids had to learn to fend for themselves in his world. Team ups like the one between him and Six had been kind of rare, and it had been a long time since he’d even seen another real kid before she met her.

So teaching? This was new.

But a good new, because making sure his new friend would be safe would be a good feeling.

So the boy proceeded to launch into an explanation once she agreed. Animatedly explaining how the ‘game’ would work and drawing out examples in the dirt with a stick. They had a lot to do ahead of them that afternoon, but Mono was determined to do a good job…
