His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

“The place is pretty much dead of any beings, or should I say, life itself.” Zedkiel remarks, looking around.

“There’s life in the air and the ground beneath our feet. I can sense it, but you are right. There are no beings here.”

“Hmm, yes, which is strange. We’ve been walking for ages.”

I nod, closing my eyes. “There must be a way to get to where we need to, faster.”

“And where exactly is that?” Zedkiel replies, looking around.

I glance at him. He has always been handsome, extremely handsome, but somehow those dreads only make him look even hotter to me. I have something to hold on to now.

“I don’t know… but perhaps we need someone who can guide us.” I say, scanning the clouds as I stare into the distance.

A flash of light appears before a man in pale grey robes materialises before me. He instantly bends his knee and lowers his head.

“Moon Goddess…. You have finally come… We have waited for centuries for you to turn back to your people…” He bows low and a part of me wants to tell him to rise, but I don’t know the protocol here. “You summoned me.”

I did?

“Yes… I have, but there is much to do and as you know, I am the daughter of Selene, the goddess in her stead. I need to request a meeting with the Eternal God. It is urgent. Is that something that you could possibly help us with?” I ask in my melodious voice. That still sounds foreign to me, too.
