Chosen By The Moon

I nodded already feeling exhausted from this encounter. Why must she always speak in riddles? For once could she not just give me a solid answer?

“What’s my biggest fear?” I asked, my mind still firmly on what she had told me about that being the only path to success. If I had to face my fear then, it shouldn’t be too difficult as long as I know what it is I’m facing.

“That is for you to discover on your own.” She smiled sadly and looked at the giant golden tree behind her, it began flickering slightly and I knew it was because she couldn’t keep me here for much longer. “I’m afraid this is where we must part, however, I will leave you with a final gift…”

She waved her hand gracefully and created a small silver ball of light, before throwing it directly towards my head letting it explode as it hit me, sending me crashing to the ground like a wooden plank…

Only as soon as my back hit the floor, my eyes opened wide, and I was greeted by the green leaves of the oak tree that sat in the rogues.

I gasped in shock, and sat up straight, feeling a little bit dazed and unsure about my surroundings. I had a feeling that the battle was closer than any of us first thought, and I had to inform everyone of

what I now knew.

“Dylan?” My head shot around to Oliver, who was sat with his back. against a tree next to me, his knees were bunched up and his arms. rested on them, the appearance of a slight stubble was showing on his face and his eyes looked tired. “Oh thank the goddess!”

I noticed that I had a small blanket draped over me, probably to keep

the cool air off me, although something tells me that I hadn’t actually been unconscious for that long this time.

“So… how long have I been out?” I asked quickly as I stood up on my stiff legs, only to discover that the ankle that I had most likely shattered was no completely healed. I frowned and twisted it slightly, before walking over to where Oliver had now stood up.

“Two and a half days.” He stated which left me nodding, I knew it wasn’t too long this time. I nodded my head and sighed, scraping my hands through my still tied up hair. “What happened?! I thought you were bullshitting me, and then… whoosh… huge flash of light…. Then you just flopped onto the floor after I got blinded for like half a second, I swear, it was so mad… you actually were accepted by the moon goddess, I guess even I have to admit you’re chosen by her. The rogue wolves have even been coming by every now and again, praying to you and the tree.” I frowned at his rambling, still trying to come to terms with what the moon goddess had told me… I wonder what my biggest fear was? “But right now, I think you need to look in a mirror.” Now I really did frown at him, and he chucked awkwardly. Dylan… your hair, it’s…”

“It’s what?” I grabbed the ponytail that rested effortlessly down my back and pulled it over my shoulder glancing at the tresses that rested in palm in pure shock. Whatever the moon goddess had blasted me with, had changed my hair.

“It’s pure white?!” He finally stated as he looked at me in pure shock. He was right…

I needed a mirror.
