Aeron opened his eyes in some sort of endless body of water which streched infinitly no matter which directions he looked.
He panicked a little but then realised he could breath.
What is this place?
He thought, then suddenly he saw a figure swimming in a fast pace to upwards, he followed the figure and saw light shining as he swimmed up.
As he was swimming up and up he saw light becoming more brighter and then after alomost a blinding flash he felt coldness in his skin as a small breeze of cold wind his his wet upper body.
He looked around and noticed that he was floating in an endless oceans, he couldn't seem to be wondered how water changed colours from orange hue to normal blue colour.
Where the hell am I..., He wondered, I should try to find a way out
As he was thinking suddenly a very big void started engulfing the oceans before him and he swam trying to escape the inevitable but he failed.
When he was engulfed his vision started fading.
.............
"Welcome... Lunar Hunter." A calm and graceful voice enchoed softly in his ears.
The voice was of a woman.
And then he opened his eyes and saw a graceful presence Wearing Clean white clothes.
Lunar Hunter?, he thought and didn't said anything to calculate the situation more.
"So, Lunar Hunter...your name is Aeron Grey am I right?" The voice said, "Open your eyes."
The voice became slight commanding, Aeron knowing he does not have much power accepted the command and open his eyes and saw a scene.
That area was very white with a waterfall flowing very silently with slight sound of falling water and there was a white fog engulfing most of the area, There was a patch of grassland beside a small river, a round table with a simple white cloth on top of it with two tea cup and a lady who had white hairs and wearing white clothes and a white Petticoat with a green woolen jacket.
He looked at the woman who was looking at the calm waterfall.
"Lunar Hunter?", Aeron asked wondering, "What's Lunar Hunter?", Aeron asked calmly.
Then the woman turned her face to look Aeron directly in eyes,
"Those who are capable of wielding inhumane powers are called Lunar Hunter"
The woman paused.
"Those beast who chased you at the grasslands."
Aeron started walking towards the table whole listening to the lady and approached the seat opposite to her.
"Can I sit here?", Aeron asked with a firm voice.
"These have been arranged for you only, current guest.", said the woman
After this Aeron seated on the chair and took the tea in his hands.
"So, should we begin?", the lady said maintaining eye contact and then began explanating.
"Somewhere in medieval ages the moon collided with our earth, which caused the deaths of majority. The year is now 1839, on that day known as the calamity infected everyone with some kind of energy, this day which is referred as the 'Calamity'."
As the term Calamity came to his ears his eyes widened a little bit and past memories of his childhood came to mind.
When he was little his grandma always told him stories about the day of Calamity. He thought his grandma was just over exaggerating and how can moon collided when there is a crescent figure still in sky.
"Why there is still a crescent figure in sky?", he asked a bit amazed.
"We do not know...but upon closer inspections from telescopes we figured out that it's a round body always having light on the curve part making it a crescent shape." She said her hand on her chin and she was spacing out.
"You are a knowledgeable person aren't you?", Aeron said his voice now a little confident.
"Thankyou for the compliment.", The lady said, "Well the thing is your are a member of Moonlight cult, am I right?"
Aerons was almost amazed about how much the lady knew about him every detail. About where he worked, his full name.
Aeron suddenly stepped up and banged the table with his right fist
"How do you know so much about me? Are you a witch? Huh?", the anger of Aeron was reasonable.
"You are the type who doesn't believe in witches existence, am I right?", without waiting for an answer, "We want you to abandon Moonlight Cult and join The Lunar Hunter society."
"What if I don't?", Aeron said.
"If you don't join the society-" the lady got up and banged the table, "We will burn the village you currently reside in and destroy Aurthur and his family..."
Aeron eyes widened at such immediate threat, his hands started to shake and his jaw dropped.
"How can you...", said Aeron.
"There is a philosophy for recruiters in our society, If you can't get it and don't let anyone get it"
After saying that her eyes narrowed a faint blush came creeping in her cheeks as she cups his face on her hands.
What a creepy lady. Aeron thought
"And...I've taken quite a interest in you." Said the woman her hand going from his face to his chest.
Ahem. She cleared her throat, her expression turning normal as she moved her hands from his cheeks to his chest.
"My name is Alice, this is not a dream, this is a fragment of lunar energy and my imagination", she said and without waking for an answer she pushed Aeron down.
Aeron expected to hit the ground but he fell and as he fell he heard, "come at Arkxus manor which is at the north-west of your Village...quite noticeable."
Aeron fell and felt a strange calm.
.....
Aeron opened his eyes sweat covering him as he woke up and looked around and saw Aurthur writing something in a writing station. His wife sitting besides him and the little boy sleeping on other bed.
