Next Story

So my dear readers, I have come up with what the next story is going to be. This time the focus is going to be pirates. I have been playing Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and I asked my self if I was going to be a pirate what kind of pirate would I be and that is when I came up with the idea. I was stuck between two ideas and this one was the one that would be easier on me (The other one still needs to be changed to make sense).
The protagonist will be a girl again who is a pirate captain. She lives in a world dominated by water. Something hit Earth and sent it slightly closer to the sun. Not close enough to kill everything living but the ice caps melted (there still there just smaller) and flooded the planet. Humanity adapted to become more of a water based society. Several generations have past since this happened, which is why I'm explaining this now since the characters that I know of at the moment only know that they live in a watery world where one must not only avoid coral reefs but also underwater cities made of strange rock (concrete) and metal.
Our lovely pirate girl, who I haven't named yet, flourishes in this world. I still have stuff to come up with so that this ends up being a good story (including a title) so you guys get this update...thing. While I wrestle, argue and smack characters until they give me the correct information that I need. So next week we will start our pirate story. If you guys have any idea what to name it feel free to comment the name (since I suck at naming and am surprised that Purple Moon turned out so well in terms of names) you guys can even do anonymous comments if you so wish.
See you next week!!!

Purple Moon End

We have reached the end. If you have any questions comment them and I will answer. I would also appreciate any other comments you have about my work.
Like I said yesterday, I probably wont visit this world again unless you guys want me to do a sequel. Next week we shall start a new story and I have no idea what it will be.

Purple Moon

Epilogue

    A man stands on a balcony looking out at the flourishing world around him. People wander about the square beneath him. A huge statue of a woman holding a moon and two swords is in the middle of the people. According to legend, she was the Guardian, the goddess of the moon that would help humanity in times of need. Most people went to her temples and prayed for her help for everything from finding a lost item to business endeavors. Even travelers sometimes prayed just in case, but he knew the truth about the Guardian.

    He walks into the room connected to the balcony. The room contains a desk with stacks of paper, a couple bookshelves built into the wall on either side of a fireplace. A couch sits in front of the fireplace with several books on it. Above the fireplace mounted on the wall is a painting of a man from long ago with auburn hair and amber eyes that sparkle mischievously. On the mantle of the fireplace directly below the painting were two swords identical to each other.

    They were the swords of the Guardian created from pieces of the moon. The Guardian used them in battle to protect her people from danger, while her powers slept. When her powers did awaken she destroyed the immediate danger and told his ancestors that it was there job to rebuild the world, while she watched over the world, but if the world was in dire need she would come again.

    His ancestors, starting with the one on the wall, had built the world up from what it had been. There were still dangers, and it was his family's job to make sure the civilians stayed safe. They also worked with the temple of the Guardian to watch the moon and stars for signs. In theory, the signs would help make sure the world stayed safe, but so far, nothing had appeared to prove the theory.

    The man sighs and turns back to the desk. Just as he is about to sit down, there is a knock at the door. The door opens, and a skittish looking man walks in.

    "Yes?" The man next to the desk speaks.

    The skittish man's eyes wander around the room until they settle on the other man then he says, "The temple wants to see you. They say that there is something that needs your attention."

    "They will have to wait until later, I am busy."

    "But they said there was a change, a big change." He pulls a small paper out of his pocket and reads, "The stars started twinkling faster, and for a brief moment during the night, the moon showed a purple ring."

    For a moment, the man by the desk stares at the man then he quickly grabs his coat and grabs the other man before running out of the room.

Purple Moon (FM13)

I am traveling this weekend which is why I am posting weird this week but tomorrow I will do an epilogue and then that will be it for Purple Moon, unless any of you readers want me to do a sequel. After the epilogue is published I will start on my next story but I still have no idea what it will be......

Purple Moon

Full Moon 13

     Luna walks over to him until she could reach out and touch his hair. The pressure inside the room increases until Cade finds it hard to breathe. Luna stares at Magnus in the eyes, and then he falls to the floor gasping for air. "Magnus, I don't think you realize the situation your in. I am so much stronger then your Queen. I am not like you and Thorn."

    Magnus looks at her in surprise.

    "What, you didn't think I knew the real name of your queen? I was there when she became Thorn."

    "That doesn't mean that you can beat her," He spat.

    Luna's eyes turn ice cold, "I already did. I told her that I would return but when we met again I was sad to see that she had not changed. I killed her, she's not going to come save you."

    "That is a lie."

    Luna waves her hand in the moonlight and a picture appears of Thorn's body in the cave. Magnus' eyes widen.
    "I thought that her follower might have more sense but after hearing you speak I can see that I was wrong to assume that." The picture disappears and Luna starts hovering higher off the ground. "It seems to me that any of those foolish enough to follow Thorn need to be eradicated."
    The moon on Luna's shoulder glows and the moonlight turns purple, bathing the room in an ominous light. Jace gasps and the council whimpers. Power oozes from Luna and her hair floats around her head like its underwater. She looks powerful and otherworldly.
    Inhuman screams drift into the room and chills settle on everyone's skin except Luna's. Luna stretches an arm out behind her and a part of the wall blasts apart, showing a City bathed in purple moonlight. Alterations are screaming as there skin burns and melts. The screams slowly die out as the Alterations disappear leaving only dust behind.
    Once the screams have stopped, Luna turns back to the council, "I promised that the day of judgement would come to those who had carried out the experiment and it' legacy. That day is today but first I must deal with Magnus."
    She faces Magnus and he chuckles, "Are you pretending to be any better than us, because you're not."
    "I know, and I do not pretend to be any better. But unlike you I see that help is needed in order to breathe life back into this planet."
    The moonlight falls on Magnus and he turns to ash. Luna looks at the council and raises her hand, a purple light engulfs them and they vanish.
    Luna lowers her hand and sighs before turning to Cade and Jace, "I will be the guardian of this plant, since it is to risky for me to physically be here. I had hoped that there would be someone that could act in my stead, maybe in time there will be someone that can harness my power without them being me," She halfway smiled, "But for the moment I will leave the rebuilding of the world to the true hunters. I may have gotten rid of Thorn but there will always be dangers and if you are in dire need call out to me and I will come and help, but only if the need is great. Goodbye."
    The moonlight faded as the moon went behind a cloud and Luna went with it. When the moonlight reappeared Luna was gone, leaving only her swords.
    Cade sighed and picked them up, "Come on Jace, we have work to do."

Purple Moon

Full Moon 12

    Cade follows Luna and Jace trails after them. Anytime an Alteration gets in their way, Luna kills them before anything happens. When they reach the base of the tower, Luna and Cade look at the damage. The doors are dented and stuck open. There is a hole in the side of the building but no movement inside.

    "Are we going to go in the hole?" Cade asks.

    Luna shakes her head, "No, Magnus will head for the council, and he will take his time. Jace, am I correct in assuming that the hole was created by Magnus."

    Jace nods, "Yes when Dan challenged Magnus, he was launched out of the building."

    Luna looks at the hole one last time before walking into the building. The power is out, so there is no blue light showing the life of the building. The doors to the council's room are gone, and Luna walks in with nothing to fear. It's obvious that there was a fight inside with how much the room is destroyed, but there is no one in the room, not even a body.

    "He was here, but as you can see, he is here no longer." Luna says and looks up at the ceiling, "He is above us, as well as the council. Is there any way for us to get up there."

    Cade shakes his head, "Only the council knew how to get into their private area."

    Luna sighs, "That's just like them. It will take to long to find a way up. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to create more damage."

    Before Jace or Cade can ask what she meant, they are in the air smashing through the sun in the roof. Luna leads the way to the top of the tower, breaking any obstacles in their path so Jace and Cade can make the trip safely. When they reach the floor that they want, she sets Cade and Jace out of the way and looks at Magnus.

    Magnus is holding one of the council members by the shirt with a bone blade against their throat. He smiles at Luna and drops the human he is threatening. The council member backs into a wall where the other members are.

    "Well, well, well, what have we here?" He looks Luna over, "You don't look familiar, but I feel like I should know you."

    Luna's hair whips around behind her head, and her eyes have gone hard. "What are you doing, Magnus?"

    He chuckles, "Just having a bit of fun while I wait for my Queen. I don't she would mind if one or two of these humans went missing. But I don't really think it's fair that you know my name, but I don't know yours."

    The roof above Luna cracks and starts to break. A huge pressure fills the room as Luna glares at Magnus. "You wish to know who I am?" Her voice is deceptively soft.

    He shrugs, "Not particularly, but you interest me."

    The ceiling breaks spraying pieces over the room. Moonlight spills into the room, and Luna's voice has taken on a hard edge. "I am Luna, and I can not let you continue to harm these people."

    "And who are you to stop me."

    Luna's face is calm, but Cade notices that pure rage shines in her eyes. "Cade, things are about to get a little rough. Make sure the council members don't die."

    Cade nods and Magnus starts laughing, "Are you planning to fight me, Luna. You're going to lose the only one who can beat me is my Queen."

    "How are we going to get there?" Cade asks

    "Leave that to me. Just gather what you will need and what to bring back to the City. But only what you can carry." Luna responds

    Luna goes into the moonlight while Cade quickly finds the things that he wants to take before joining hers. Luna looks at Thorn and makes a quick motion with her hand. The swords detach from the wall, and as Thorn's body fall to the floor, there is some sadness in Luna's eyes, but it quickly vanishes. The swords fly into her hands, and she turns her attention to Cade.

    "Are you ready?" She asks, and he nods, "Alright when we arrive, do whatever you like but leave the bone alteration to me."

    Luna touches Cade on the shoulder and looks at the moon. There is a purple flash, and they are no longer in the cave. They appear inside the City wall. Civilians around them are panicking as Alterations try to kill them. Hunters are trying to protect them, but it is hard. Cade is kneeling on the ground dizzy from his experience, but Luna is surveying the scene with cold eyes and a tight mouth.

    "What did you do?"

    "It would take to long to explain, but the quick answer would be that we rode the moonlight."

    Cade considers asking for a better answer but decides against it and stands up. He looks for faces he recognizes and spots Jace with Maia. Jace notices them and quickly kills the alteration he is handling before jogging over. Maia easily covers where he had been as if he was never there.

    "Cade!" Jace calls all rivalry forgotten, "Where did you come from?"

    As Jace gets closer, he notices Cade is injured, "And what happened to you?"

    Cade looks at his bandaged arm, "We found the queen she was an E3. How did this happen?"

    "Magnus is a bone Alteration. When he said he was throwing a party, he didn't mean with cake, he meant he was creating a blood bath. No one saw it coming, and when he told us his plan for this evening, we were already trapped. Dan and his partner died trying to fight him. It was Adalia and her dogs that broke us out so we could help the civilians. Her dogs somehow knew what was going to happen."

    "Where is she?" Cade asks.

    "Last, I saw she was holding back Magnus with some others while the rest of us escaped."

    "Jace!" Maia suddenly shouts.

    Both boys look at her seeing an Alteration heading for a crying child. Every hunter near the child was holding off another Alteration. Jace grimaces and pulls out his spear, but Cade knows he won't make it in time. Then the monster screams and Cade sees Luna has stabbed it in the back with one of the swords, wearing a cold, angry expression.

    Without thinking about it, Cade whips out his crossbow and shots another Alteration trying to sneak up on her. She nods in thanks and walks back to them, immediately killing any Alteration that gets in her way.

    "Who is that?" Jace asks.

    Cade doesn't answer, and Luna stops in front of them. "Enough talking, there is stuff to be done. Cade, I'm going to face Magnus, he should be in the tower you call home. What are you going to do?"

    "I would like to come with you, but I can't leave these Alterations alone."

    Luna nods, "Very well, wait a moment, and then we can be off."

    Luna turns to the battles around them and puts up her hand. The swords fly, killing every Alteration in sight.

    Jace stares are her, "Cade who exactly is that, and are those Kat's swords?"

    "Alright, let's go before another wave comes," Luna says while the swords come back to her side.

Purple Moon (FM10)

I didn't mean for this one to be so long but Luna likes to talk.

Full Moon 10

    Luna sighs then turns to Cade. Cade moves his eyes from Thorn's body to Luna, who is assessing his injuries.

    "Who are you?" Cade asks.

    Luna goes to touch his injured arm but he moves it away from her. "I am many things and have used many names. But I suppose you would call me an Alteration and you may call me Luna."

    "You aren't like any Alteration I've ever seen."

    Luna sits down on a rock next to him, but she still doesn't touch the ground. "No, I suppose I'm not, like I told Thorn my power comes from the moon. I am the only one of my kind like this."

    "Are you really Kat?"

    "Yes and no. Kat is the name of your friend, I existed long before her, but for the duration that Kat existed, I slept inside her. In a way, she is still alive since I have her memories. She has influenced me...no that's not correct, she has become a part of me."

    "Where did you come from?"

    She sighs, "If you wish to know my story, it is a long one that will take time."

    "Then just sum it up if you really have Kat's memories you will know what I know so you can just build on top of it."

    "Alright but can I help your injuries while I do so, it will save time. I may not be much of a healer, but what I can do will help you through the next battle."

    He nods, and she takes his arm before speaking.

    "Like Thorn, I was a normal girl before the scientists took me away. I was to be the last subject of these particular experiments then they would change to the experiments that would create the Alterations that you know of. I do not remember my change, but after my change, I was different, unable to remember my previous life, all I could do was exist. Like all of the ones that went before me, I began to die about a week after I was changed. I didn't want to die, and the moon answered my request and gave me the power to survive.

    "The moon told me many things some of the lesser important ones being those the scientists had picked weren't random they pick people that had the greatest chance of succeeding in their experimentation and that what they were doing had something to do with war and battle. She told me everything I needed to know to understand what would come to pass and what my role would be. Those that came after also needed to gain the power to survive, but unlike me, they found it within themselves. When the moon told me the time was right, I freed everyone.

    "The two places Kat, Adalia and you traveled to were the cities containing the labs that held us. The one that is no longer there, is were Thorn was. We always hated each other and after I freed her we had a battle that destroyed the town. Our rivalry was the reason Blood Alterations made Kat agitated. After I defeated Thorn I told her that I was going to sleep and but would be back I gave her a poem of sorts to remember so she could remember how much time she had, it was one Kat thought was a lullaby from her mother. I slept in the moon and when it was time for me to start waking up the moon put me back on Earth with the twin swords she crafted to help. From that moment on Kat was alive with fake memories and I was sleeping in the back of her mind. You have seen the rest."

    Cade looks her over, his wounds were bandaged and clean. "I have three questions left: Why did Kat never use your power, What is your purpose, and how come you aren't touching the ground."

    Luna laughs at the last question but replies, "You are a very interesting person, Cade. I can see why Kat enjoyed your company. I don't touch the ground because my power comes from the moon, it was sleeping with me while Kat did what she wanted which is why she touched the ground and shouldn't have been able to access my powers, but she did. You saw it as impossible agility and the way she handled the swords. But the biggest thing she did was the trick she did to you and Jace, even she didn't really know how she accomplished it. My purpose is to be a guardian of sorts, but we can get into that later right know we need to help your comrades."
