Tales and Fables
INSPIRED BY MY OWN WORKS AND OTHERS...
He spotted a solitary cloud surrounded by the night sky and soflty landed on it. He laid down and rest his head on the cloud and closed his eyes.
He felt a gentle touch followed by a surge of energy, cold and tingling. His mind heard a voice, soft and calm, that spoke with no words. Almost like a melody. The man opened his eyes and panted. The cloud he laid on wasn't there anymore. He looked around and saw a vast landscape of pale rocks, mountains and craters. The voice spoke again, this time with a word: "Welcome". "Hello, Moonlight Guardian." he heard inside his mind. It was the moon. She never spoke to him before, but he instantly knew. The man grinned. He almost forgot about her. The moon has been his constant companion and guide through his endless journeys across the night sky. For so many times he wondered if the moon was thinking about him when she followed him around, what she was thinking and feeling, if she had dreams. "Where am I?", he asked. "What is this place?" "You wanted to know my dreams," the voice seemed to smile at him, "this is my dream, this is how I see myself." The man saw thousands of stars brightly shinning in the dark sky and a blue marble glowing in the distance. "You wanted to know me", the moon said. "You were always curious. Do you want to see something?" He nodded. He walked across the craters and rocks, guided by an invisible hand. The moon showed him amazing sights of ancient ruins of civilizations that once lived on the moon, a long time ago, much longer than the time the Moonlight Guardian spent in his journeys. He saw mysterious artifacts that he couldn't understand, glyphs inside caves that told the history of the moon. He felt awe and shock and fear and gratitude. He asked so many questions and the moon answered them all. She told him about her origins, her history, her purpose and her dreams. The man never thoght he would learn so much about his loyal companion. The moon also showed him thing he had long forgotten. Memories of his life before becoming the Moonlight Guardian, scenes from his earthy adventures, his past joys and sorrows, the people he loved and lost. She knew everything about him. She had been watching over him all along, even before he ever thought about her. He found about his destiny, that he wasn't just a random night traveler, wandering aimlessly through the night sky. The moon had long chosen him, to fulfill a mission. He was the Moonlight Guardian for a reason. He was needed for a higher purpose. An eternity passed while the man kept exploring the moon and discovering her secrets and hearing her stories. And yet, only a few minutes went by. He felt weary, his eyes closing. "It's time to go. Goodbye my friend," he heard in his mind,"and thank you." He opened his eyes and looked around. He was back at the solitary cloud where he rested his body, as if nothing had changed. But everything changed. He looked up to the moon and grinned. He felt a deep connection and a new sense of appreciation towards his loyal companion and tireless guide. "Thank you for showing me your dream, my friend." he said. The man got up and resumed his night walking, more in peace and determined than ever before. He knew who he was now, he knew his destiny. He was the Moonlight Guardian and he was ready to fulfill his mission. Comments are closed.
