After Luna asked this question, three bizarre-looking plant monsters popped up and attacked them by launching fireballs from their mouths. Sasha reacted first, leaping out of the way, which put her off the trail. Not ready to fall to her doom, she grabbed hold of one of the rock formations floating in the sky and climbed it.
Once on top, she saw a variety of floating trails and jumped on the nearest one. Luna summoned forth a shield while Byeol did the same as Sasha and found herself stranded on a different path from the one before.
"Great! Fire-breathing plants!" Sasha sarcastically said while running up the trail.
"Keep running, you guys! I think I see an exit!" shouted Luna right when the fiery heat of a fireball brushed against her cheek.

A pair of dainty feet stood on the cold tile floor. Fingers nervously fiddled with the edge of the sweater. Luna flinched when the man's booming voice, who sat up high with the rest of the council members, loudly called out her name. Slowly raising her head, Luna met their stares and felt like she was being stabbed a million times over from the piercing, disapproving glares they threw at her.The knots in her stomach caused her to feel nothing but pain that she wished would stop. Eyes void of emotion, Luna looked towards the painted-glass ceiling above. Ignoring her mother arguing with one of the council members, Luna asked herself,'How did it come to this?''To answer this question, let me first rewind to about a week ago'.'When my life was perfect...''Just before the nightmare descended...''...and changed everything'.
As soon as Luna entered her room, the Royal Designer, Madame Dia, instantly grabbed hold of her wrist and began measuring her height, bust, and waist. "Oh my, it seems like our darling princess has put on a few pounds since I last measured her." Once again, the man was adorned in another fabulous and exaggerated outfit. His remark shamelessly reminded Luna of the delicious pastry cakes she had been having Sophie send to her room, which would explain the extra weight."Now, as the proud princess of Lunaris, you must look stunning, darling~! KeKe, bring me the fabric!" With a clap of his hands, Madame Dia's assistant KeKe, who was always seen in a formal but stylish pants suit and sunglasses, placed a roll of lime-green fabric in his hands. Holding it against Luna's light brown skin, Madame Dia made an expression as if something had stung his eye."Oh, no! Bring me the next one!" This time Keke brought him a roll of h
On the next day, the city streets of the capital, Selene, were lively. Everyone wore a smile on their face as the restaurants and food carts were jammed with customers. Like in the olden time, before the inventors and scientists of Mirai advanced all technology throughout the Starry Galaxy, building things like movie theaters, people watched street plays.With all the fun activity taking place outside, some entered competitions that offered rewards. The children giggled and played in the streets while throwing flower petals in the air. The beautifully dressed street-dancers performed to the festival music.Luna slept peacefully in her chambers inside the palace, dreaming about stuffing her mouth with different pastries when she felt her body be submerged in a tub full of hot water. She shot her straight awake as the smell of coconut invaded her nose. "What's going on?!" screeched the princess, spitting out water tha
A pair of footsteps appeared from out of the shadows, and Luna felt her entire face flush red. Now, Luna had seen numerous handsome men, a majority being young aristocrats trying to court Mika, yet the man standing before her was incredibly beautiful and attractive. Luna was shocked that such a man could even exist in this plane of reality.A man of his caliber belonged only in myths and legends, yet here he was standing right before her very eyes. A regal black suit covered his sleek figure, which towered over Luna like a mountain, who had to tilt her head back to get a glimpse at his face. But the longer she looked at his face, the crazier her heart got.Long silverish-white hair, which shimmered like moonlight, poured straight down the man's broad back and slender waist. Each strand was slicked, and not a portion was falling out of place, but the small section that alluringly fell over his left shoulder blade.&nb
The joyous and festive air that once covered the capital of Lunaris vanished when citizens spotted the massive, undefinable black cloud that covered the entire capital of Selene. Nobles, dignitaries, and allies standing in the imperial garden and on balconies widened their eyes with disbelief as they stared up at the sky."Oh, my word... What on earth is that?" a noblewoman in an elegant green dress called to question, voice laced with terror.Zain, who had been trying to find a polite excuse to get himself away from CeCe, made his way back out onto the balcony and narrowed his icy eyes towards the ominous black cloud. The sight of it brought forth the foreboding feeling of despair and malice as if it was the beginning of an end.The shining beacon of light from the towers issued a loud siren. Knights dressed in white appeared inside the ballroom and outside the imperial garden, ushering people inside the p
Clenching his blade, the ruler of Lunaris ran out of the throne room. But just as he stepped foot outside, a roar shook the sky, and knights yelled out in alarm, covering the palace's extensive front area. The barrier which surrounded the palace now had a large hole. A small shower of black rain poured inside, staining the palace's peerless white ground. Puddles formed that allowed skeletons and beastly creatures to run rampage as the knights began fighting against the horde.The one who cracked the hole was the dragon soaring through the sky, flapping its jet-black wings. Gray-white hair attached to its head blew ominously and wildly in the wind. Opening its mouth, the dragon released a roar of red flames that disintegrated everything it touched. Its figure blended into the blackness of the night as it soared in the sky, bringing forth the haunting image of a reaper.The dragon swooped through the hole and landed o
Luna's father charged forth and leaped high into the air. His sword was raised right above the creature's head. "Pathetic," said the dragon, who unleashed a wave of negative energy. This negative energy wave took the form of tiny red orbs, protecting the dragon in a dome formation.Instead of his sword clashing against the dragon's head, the sword clashed against one of the orbs. The orb blinked red before detonating. The blast sent Luna's father flying to the ground, where he crashed beside Zain. The boy shot ice arrows that did nothing but cause the orbs to detonate and then reform.Smirking at their foolish attempts of harming him, the dragon let out a mighty roar as the orbs scattered and shot towards the palace. Luna's father's eyes widened with horror as he got back on his feet and realized the damage those orbs, that numbered over a hundred, could do to the palace.He knew he had to
"Departing?! Dad, what are you talking about? You're strong and healthy! You can make it through this!" Luna's legs weakened, dropping down to her knees beside her father's bed."No, sweetie, my health has been failing me for a long time, but now it has finally caught up with me." Luna's father stared weakly at his daughter and felt his heart break at the sight of his sweet lil-star in tears."Dad, I don't understand! You always appeared vigorous and full of strength whenever I saw you!" cried Luna. None of this was making sense to her. Just a moment ago all was fine, so how come all of this was happening?! Seeing confusion laced within the princess's eyes as she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the Royal Physician spoke up."Princess, a couple of years ago, your father was diagnosed with{Larkspur}, and as you know,{Larkspur}is still marked as incurable. Doctors a
