• Reh’s Story

    Chapter 1: The fated Encounter Of the moon maiden
    “I HATE YOU!” a young boy said running away from home, and his dad following him, drunk and sloppily, yelling out “Comeback Reh!” As Reh disappeared into the night, not knowing where he was going. Reh ran and ran, and heard his father’s voice less and less, until finally it disappeared. Reh caught his breath, panting and crouching over; he held a pendent up, a rose red pendent he wore. Reh didn’t realize he was now surrounded by forest, but he was to out of breath to care he was lost at the moment. He rested beside a tree, leaning on it, and writing in his note book he always carries. The book was a journal and a book; pages had one side consisting of book, and the other side of journal. He jotted a few things down, and closed the book. He was extremely tired, and he couldn’t stop his eyes from slowly shutting.

    Reh awoke, hearing a melody playing, and hearing a voice singing, he was drawn to it, walking through the forest, he didn’t realize the forest was getting thicker with every step. The trees blocked out the moonlight, and everything was pitch black, except a small light, the music came from the direction of the light, so Reh followed the light, seeing it get bigger, and the music get louder. Reh finally got to where the light was, and was now in a clearing, with a lake in the middle, which reflected the crescent moon and the stars clear as crystal. Reh looked around, and saw something more breath taking then the lake, a women, playing a wooden flute, in a long, white flowing gown, with silver hair, and fair skin, she was enchanting. She sat on a single branch, suspended above the lake, playing the flute; it looked as though she was sitting with the stars, enveloped by the crescent moon. Reh took out his note book, and tried to draw the women, but he needed to be closer, so he inched a bit closer, and his pendent gleamed in the moonlight, getting the women’s attention.

    “Who’s there?” she said with a voice as soft as velvet, and a white fox came to her, protecting her. Reh was to taken for words, the eyes of the snow white fox, and the silver haired women were simply stunning, silver, with a blue outline, piercing through Reh. The women looked at him and stood up, and leapt off the branch, Reh, without thinking, jumped in after her before she even touched the water. Reh came up from the shallow lake, hearing a soft laughter, he wiped his eyes, and saw the women, standing on the water, she elegantly floated to Reh, and it looked as if she was floating on the stars. Reh looked at her, and was more amazed at how beautiful her smile was, she reached to him, gently touching his face, and moving her face closer to his, and whispered “Good night” Kissing his forehead. Reh Suddenly couldn’t move, and was swallowed by the lake, which was just shallow. As Reh sunk deeper and deeper, he saw less and less light, and the last thing he saw before the darkness took him was the women and her fox, looking at the dimming moon, and vanishing. Sinking to the depths of this seemingly never ending lake, Reh saw a orange light, permeating from a narrow space, and he saw a hand grab him, and pull him into the light, and out of the water, but Reh passed out as soon as he took a few breathes, feeling relieved and exhausted.
