Chapter 1 - The pact with the moon

Centuries ago, in a small town whose location nobody can recall, lived a woman named Riana. With brown skin and a normal, ordinary upbringing, Riana's parents provided her with everything she desired. However, her heart's desire was to marry a man who truly loved her, and despite her best efforts, she could not make this dream a reality. Her parents also did all they could to help, but nothing seemed to work. One day, Riana met a fortune teller who claimed that if she pleaded with the moon and moved it with her words, her wish would come true, but at a steep cost.

Later on, she left the encounter with the fortune teller without giving it much thought. As time passed, she continued searching for the man she so deeply longed for, but to no avail. One day, consumed with desperation for her unfulfilled dream, she made her way to the top of a hill in the midst of a distant forest in the middle of the night. Upon arriving, she dropped to her knees and pleaded with the moon until nearly dawn. After losing hope and in a fit of inconsolable tears, she realized her dream may never come true.

The scene moved the moon, and it responded by casting a silver beam that enveloped the woman. A voice echoed out, saying, "You shall have the man you have yearned for, but in return, I want the child you bear first." The woman, wiping her tears, inquired of the moon, "Tell me, silver moon, what will you do with a child?" Regrettably, the moon remained silent, dispersing the luminous halo before slipping away below the horizon and ushering in the dawn.

The woman was both pleased and puzzled by the moon's words. In the distance, she spotted the man whom the moon had promised her - the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes upon, with black hair and brown skin like hers. Feeling overjoyed but slightly nervous, she approached him. Upon reaching his side, she asked, "What brings a handsome man like you to a place like this so early?" He responded politely, "I come here when I need to be alone, but today I felt compelled to be here for something important. And now that I've met you, I realize that the important thing was meeting you." Blushing at his words, the woman introduced herself as Rina and suggested that they meet at the same spot the following day, as she had to leave.

For several weeks, the man kept meeting her at the same spot, and one afternoon while watching the sunset together, he proposed to her. Overjoyed and filled with excitement, she accepted without hesitation. However, the words spoken by the moon still lingered in her mind. She couldn't help but wonder why the moon had demanded the first child she bore with the man. Despite her confusion, she let the thought fade away, focusing instead on her upcoming wedding and the happiness she would share with her future husband.
