The Moon has Awakened

Chapter 2

It was quiet when Varian and Quirin ate breakfast at the table that morning, Varian pondered over his dream in his head, trying to decipher the meaning of it, then he asked his father a question, "Dad?" "Yes Varian? Is everything alright son?" Quirin asked, then took a sip of his coffee. "What was Mother like???" Varian questioned as his father blushed, nearly spitting out the coffee when his muscles tensed. "Oh.. Ulla, she..

Varian processed it all for a moment but then Quirin pointed out something on Varian. "Son! Your hand, it looks like.." His father exclaimed. "Huh?" Varian mumbled when he looked down at his hand, it was slowly becoming a black rock. "Ah! D-Dad, my hand!!" The boy yelled as the rock flashed red as his fear grew. "Son, breathe, it could spread faster if you panic!" Quirin warned. Varian did what he was told and the moon rock evaporated as his father ran to his side.

"Dad.." Varian declared firmly, "I am going to free Mom." TO BE CONTINUED..
