Purple Moon (FM10)

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

    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."
