Knight of the Heart (knightsheart)

Once upon a time… I would have said impossible to amazing things.  Now I say amazing to impossible things.  
  
I dream of her.   When I was a young boy she would walk with  me holding my hand and show me the stars.   She would tell me stories about the groups of stars that formed legends.  I ask her ” What is your name?”

She said “I will tell you,  Little Love, when you are older.  What story would you like to hear tonight?”

It is our routine but tonight at sixteen I point to a closer nightlight which was always there.

“Tell me about the moon” I said.  

She looked at me strangely, smiled and began…

“Once upon a time there was no moon.  People lived in a vast ocean.  They feared the  dark. The dark was when the worse predators came out hungry.  Everyone had to be home before night fell over the grotto with their gates well locked.

Mare is 16 and worried. Where has her little sister swam off to?  How will she get home safe?  She swims to the highest point of the grotto and frantically signals below the waves and above them.     

She does not see her sister but there is movement in the coming darkness.  flesh eating things awaiting a victim .
Mare prays.  I am willing to give myself to save my sister and any others in the dark.

 “You can save many… Are you willing to live apart from your family but only talk to them in dreams?” a voice in her head says.

“Yes! Oh Yes! Mare is almost screaming!

Mare feels herself rising high above the earth.  She can  see the Sun and ….
she is reflecting his light on the dark earth.  Mare sings for she can see her sister reaching home safely.  

Mare visits her sister in her dreams and tells her they both will be alright.”

“So your name is Mare” , I say.

“Yes… Or La Luna.” she smiles.” I have waited for this moment.”

” Would you like to dance? ” I smile for I knew her answer before her face glows.

“Yes,  Robertson,  I will dance with my lover.”

I smiled through the next day on memories of moonlight dances.   My dreams are amazing and they all began…

Once upon a time…

Amazing
