La Lune

Follow the titular main character Lune, as she escapes the laboratory with a bunch of rag-tag super-powered animals, find the powers within them and perhaps defeat the evil queen?

## Prologue

Once upon a time…there was a prophet, whose kingdom is under an evil queen’s rule.

She told the Queen that she’ll be soon defeated by one of her children.

The Queen was mad, and ordered the prophet’s execution, so that her children will not be born.

But what she doesn’t know…is that her baby daughters (one yellow and one grey) are tucked away safely from the others in the countryside.

Unfortunately, the Queen and her soldiers still searched, and managed to keep one of them under her wing (no, she’s not a bird).

What about the other, then?

She was trapped, under one of the Queen’s biggest labs.

Her real name was erased, and replaced with the name “Lune”, referencing her grey fur that shines under the moon.

What the Queen doesn’t know is that it’s not just her who’s going to defeat her…

but she will bring along a bunch of others, of her kind.

And Lune’s story, starts here.

## Chapter 1 Where?

”Mama?!”

I woke up to the sound of a foal’s cries.

”Mama! I’m scared! Mama!”

I crawled, leg tied to a chain.

”What is it? Little one?”

”Mama said no talk to strangers.” She sobs, “Where?”

Her pristine eyes were green, with a tiny pinch of blue.

”Don’t worry, young one. Let big sissy stay with you while your mama does her thing, good?”

She wipes her tears, and nodded. I scooted my way to her. She was in a normal child’s clothing, unlike me, in white rags tainted with blood.

”What does your mama look like?”

”Bloo. Mama bloo.”

We both sat there for a couple of minutes before she started again, “Why your clothes…weird?”

”I’ve been here for years, they just gave me these.”

”Pajamas?”

”Sort of.”

”Wat your name? I Tatia.”

”Lune. Nice to meet you.”

Something at the door clicked open. A tall beagle came in with a pale brown lynx, her crown was bright golden with a black veil covering her face.

I knew immediately who they are.

Dr. Geller and Queen Aurora.

## Chapter 2 Why Me?

Behind them was a horse in chains, like me.

”Mama!” Tatia screamed.

”Get out! Lune, you’re next.”

Every day we need to be tested on by Doctor Geller big syringe. I’m used to it, but not Tatia’s mother, she looked tired, they must be new.

He injected me with another medicine, “I’m sure, my Queen. Your Lune will have powers today, I promise.”

I closed my eyes, it’s just the same, pain.

Except it’s not for today.

The pain is much stronger this time.

I couldn’t handle it, I felt something was glowing inside me, a grey beam of moonlight.

”Get her up! Now! This is the moment!”

“Mama, look! Big sis, she funny!”

I opened my eyes, everything is covered in a pale grey aura.

The floor is shaking, the medicine bottles went flying. Everything went like there was no gravity, and Doctor Geller and the Queen were just barely holding onto the steel cages.

Then the power went off.

”BOOM!”

I laid down again because of the dizziness.

”Dr. Geller, good job.” Said the Queen.

## Chapter 3 Something Wrong?

”Princess Sol! The Queen wants to see you downstairs!”

I woke up to the sound, Myga was at the door. She is rather small for a maid…she’s a mosquito.

”Myga, I’ll be there for breakfast in 5 minutes! Just let me change my clothes!”

I changed my bedwear to an elegant princess dress. It was as bright as the sun, like my name.

i walked down for breakfast. Walter, the Prince my family has chosen for my wedding was there.

”Soleil, mi amor! Aren’t you glad we’re getting married in a week?”

I sighed. I’m only 16, too young for having a husband do everything for me, right?

”Can I eat my pancakes in peace now, Walt? I don’t want to listen to those ‘words of love’, not until our wedding.”

”Soleil! How can you be so impolite to your future husband?” My mother, Queen Aurora yelled, “Now stop complaining at eat your breakfast. I have some jobs to do.”

She stepped down a bunch of stairs, to the basement. I was never allowed to go there.

”Princess Sol, my dear. There’s a party here tonight to celebrate our wedding, care to come and enjoy with me?”

“I have nothing to do, perhaps checking out wouldn’t be a great deal with my mother.”

It was a great party, with drinks and cake.

Nothing would go wrong, I’m sure of that.

But that basement, I’m still curious where it leads to.

Mother is busy, just the perfect chance for me to sneak off.

## Chapter 4 Changed

There’s way more nurses and doctors than last time, but Queen Aurora isn’t here. They say they’re having a party…while we’re suffering here.

The routine was the same: injecting medicine and then let me sit for a while.

This time they had me chained up in a cage, my vision turn grey, then navy blue, then purple, like the night sky.

Out of nowhere, the cages flew, the scientists went back to no-gravity state. Dr. Geller had to call Nurse Hallmond for assistance.

The securities came, I have no clue what I’m doing but I somehow bombed the place.

”RUN! RUN WHILE THEY’RE NOT LOOKING!” One screamed.

They run, I was stuck in chains.

”Big sis?”

Tatia?

”Me help.”

“But you’re just a child.”

”Mama!”

Another horse trodded through the unconscious bodies of the guards. She nodded at Tatia, who then blew up some machine which freed me out of the chains.

”How…did you-“

”We’d better go before Miss Hallmond comes back with more guards.”

Tatia pulled me onto the horse’s back, we darted our way past our of the lab.

On our way, we bumped into a peach-yellow feline with a princess gown.

”EEK!”
