Chapter Four: The 12th moon sword bearer

“Where am I?” Karla looked at the woman sitting on a giant throne. A giant moon stood behind her, and there were white ghosts in the woman’s side, smiling at her.

“Come here, my loyal successor. Come to me.” She waved her hands to her, pearl surrounds her arms.

She hesitated, the pearls surround her head and then a little wing flew to her back. She looked at it, it stick in her back like it had glue. She turned to the woman, the wings flew her closer, closer, and closer to the woman. She saw how beautiful the woman was. She had a toga with white orchids decorating it. She had a Giant White Orchids in her head, arranged to form a crown. 

She smiled, and the ghosts cheered.                           

She stopped in below the throne and she kneeled. She tilted her head to look down. Her crown almost falling off. 

“You don’t have to kneel, Karla, please stand up.” She said as she gestured something to the ghosts.

The ghosts floated to her and helped her stand up. While in the arms of the ghost, she looked up to the woman.

“You know my name?”

She smiled. “Of course, I never forget the name of my dear successors.” She placed her hand in her chest where her heart is located maybe. 

“Girls, why don’t we introduce our names to Karla?” 

The ghosts smiled at the woman and a ghost started.

“My name is Michaela,” She pointed at her heart. The ghost named Michaela has beautiful short black hair, matching with her brown skin.

“I’m Jevilyn, Karla.” Jevilyn smiled at her. Her chestnut hair covering half of her face.

“My name is Anne, welcome to the clan.” Anne cuddled her and pearls showed up from her blonde hair.

This continued until the last ghost was finished. The woman is the last one to introduce herself.

“I am Luna, the first moon sword-bearer.” She stands up from her throne and in her left hand appeared a sword with flaming white fire. The ghosts walked backward and Luna passed the sword to her. 

Karla looked at the sword. She is not sure if she is gonna accept it. She closed her eyes. If they trust her, then she needs to accept it.

She accepted the sword. When it was in her hands, she can feel the warmth and the power. She opened he eyes and she saw that Luna removed the crown from her head.

“I, Luna, the first bearer, will pass you the power of the moon.” She placed the crown in her head. 

“As the 12th  moon sword-bearer, promise me that you will protect worlds no matter what happens.” She placed her hands in her heart.

She nodded slowly and blurted. “I promise.”

Deep inside her, she is not sure if she can do it. How would a twelve-year-old girl save worlds with a crown and a sword? 

Luna returned to her seat and the ghosts returned to their positions. She curtsied in front of them. She looked at the sword and gulped. She saw a portal opening in front of her and sucked her in. 

She breathed hard, and then she saw herself lying in a circle bed surround by leaves. She stretched and saw the aurora borealis forming in the ceiling. She gets out of the bed and saw a girl with green hair waving her wand.

She waved at her, and the aurora borealis flew to her shoulders. It flew to the ceiling making a circle. It fell to her crown.  

“Hi,” She Cheered at her while looking at her.

She smiled at her and waved the wand again. It formed letters and now a word. She slowly read it and speak out the sentence.

‘Hi, I’m Suzy.’

They smiled at each other. Karla marched outside to see what is happening. It was late, and there is no sign of someone moving. She was about to walk forward when she bumped into a tree. She moaned in pain as she touched what it is. 

It was a tree, blocking her way. 

She saw a pearl floating in her sight and started to glow. Maybe light to show the way. She smiled at it, and the pearl showed a little smile. She walked around the coven’s  forest 

along with the pearl as a flashlight. 

She was enjoying it when she saw a black orb with shiny yellow dust coming to her. She touched it and then it exploded. She looked at her hands, blood flowing from the wound. The pearl’s light died and now she can’t see. A figure jumped in front of her, landing in her body. Her body hit the ground, and then a glowing orb became the light. She saw the hair of the figure and it looks like it is a boy.  He punched her, and then she professionally dodged it. The boy punched her again, and she dodged it.

The boy was annoyed so he flew into the air and then he revealed his face. A black-haired boy stood up to her, six black orbs in his back forming a circle. She flew to the air and saw Anne controlling her body.

Anne is her fighting spirit, and she can do everything.

Anne raised her ghost hands and her hands moved and she is now controlled by a ghost.

She flew up and raised her hands, pearls formed in her palm and causing energy to flow. She pointed it to him, and then it formed into a white beam. She pointed it to him, he bumped into a tree.

Karla sighed in relief. She flew to the boy, and then he draws his sword. He pointed the sword with a black flame to Karla, and then he spoke something in Latin. She heard someone yell his name, Merlin.

They both looked up, and then Merlin’s hot eyes met hers. He had a handsome face, and it looks like he is a bad boy. He hid his blade in his cape and flew up to the sky. 

Karla gasped and touched her throat. She wondered what did the boy said.

“Ms. Demigod!”  Yelled Azaroz. He flew to the air and looked at her

“What are you doing here?” He asked, his voice loud.

“I was attacked, by a boy.” She said to him. “Where is Helios?”

“Maam, before I answer your question, let me ask you something first.” He looked at her eyes trying to read her mind.

“Is he handsome?” He said slowly, his curly hair swaying in the air.  She blushed and covered her face with her hands. 

“Don’t lie.” He said. “That guy is tricking moon bearers for so long. And girls like you too madam.” 

He touched his orange curly hair and finally, read her mind. “Please don’t fall on him, he is too dangerous.” 

He sniffed, “I warned you.”

She nodded confidently and gave him a serious glance. Azaroz smiled at her, she understands what he meant. 

“That’s good madam. You understand. Now, let us go back.” He jumped down and ran to the coven.

Karla touched her heart, and then she jumped down and followed Azaroz. A black orb secretly followed her.
