Summary
There’s a movement out of the corner of his eyes, before a sudden sharp pinch pulls him back to reality with a yelp. Glancing back, Silver watches his father pull his hand away from where he had been pinching his cheek, crouching with his elbows pressed against his knees. He looks thoroughly amused. “Why the long face, my dear?”
Hugging himself, Silver shrinks back. “‘M scared…” he mumbles. “I don’t wanna go with the moon.”
“Well you won’t!” Father tells him, reaching out to pat him affectionately on the head, ruffling his hair. “It’s merely a fable, after all. As long as you take care to stay out of danger whenever you sleep, you shall be fine.
“I promise you that.”
When Silver was young, Lilia told him a fable about the full moon. Do not fall asleep in her light, lest she sweeps you away in her embrace.
For years, Silver has dutifully avoided doing just that — drawing the curtains every evening, taking care to block out the moonlight — the childhood tale lingering with him.
Until one night, he messes up.
(And slowly, surely, everything begins to go horribly wrong.)
