# Koi's Story

***"One cursed by the moon, now blessed. You must choose your own path to walk, in constant fear."***

***As the stars light the way, the moon too, must choose it's path***

***Seeking a star to guide their way, the champions must fly, in order to restore the sun.***

***When the souls have been found, on the edge of the fall, the sea will turn its tide.***

***And so it begins, the tale of a traveler, lost in the moon's bind.***

The story of one lost within the stars, cursed by the moon, and overshadowed by the sun. Koi must find his path, even if it means redefining her whole world while he's at it, and maybe making some friends along the way.

## Author's note

I'll try to finish it by August, as a birthday present to myself. Maybe. Updates at a set rotation between this and Undying Flame.

## Prologue

The sky is dim, overcast and covered by clouds. Occasionally a single moonbeam will shine down, and if the clouds would part, one would see a full moon in the sky, a second half-moon circling near it. It is nearing the "true midnight", when the twin moons will reach their peaks in the sky. Ringing throughout the cold winter night, a cry of anguish and of terror can be heard.

In a house on the outskirts of Cer'an, a figure can be found, hiding away in their room, away from the light. She curls into a ball under the sheets, hoping that the light won't touch them.

Outside the house, the moons steadily climb higher, their light glimmering, reflecting off the layer of frost that sits on the ground. An owl flies past, the moons catching its shadow and keeping it there for a split second, before it flies on. The moons slowly rise, and any creature caught within thier hold knows of the tale. The tale of lycanthropy, first a blessing from the moons, turned into a curse over time. Shunned and kept away from others, those cursed by the moon are forced to transform into the animal that corresponds with their curse every true full moon. When both moons fill, all creatures will be afflicted, and another one will be given the "gift", as some call it. A blessing, says others, but most call it a ***curse***.

## Chapter One: The Awakening

A girl tumbles out from a house, no older than six. Her stormy blue hair flowing behind her as she bounces in place for a moment, before rushing forwards, charging towards something unseen. "Koi! Stop running off please," a woman calls out, sporting the same stormy blue hair as the girl's, but a shade darker. "You could always get lost here."

"But mom, we've lived here for *ages* now!" The girl whines, impatient to move. She does slow down, however, eventually coming to a standstill beneath a tree. The willow is ancient, branches sweeping out, overlooking a clear lake. Spreading out before the tree, the lake stretches on as far as the eye can see, gleaming clear and blue under the sun.

Koi runs forward along the lakeshore, half splashing in the water as she goes.
