Lunar Tale part 3
I had finally arrived at my mistress' home, a humble cottage with one smoke stack billowing out puffs of black ash while the scent of a stew cooking over an open fire in a metal pot wafted out through a crack in the window. She was cooking my favorite, rabbit stew with mixed vegetables. My mouth began to water and my stomach felt like it was grinding on my insides and if I did not hurry I would soon have a pit where my stomach was presently. Steadying myself I cooly made my way inside not bothering to tap on the door as I was always the only other person that came by this place. No human could enter here. The weather was too harsh and the wild animals that roamed about would feast upon them easily just as I probably would if I had spotted any. Inside my mistress sat. To the naked eye and the unaware she was an infant sporting a long black dress that dragged on the floor, but those who truly knew her knew that she was older than the trees of the forest that surrounded her cottage. She had a pair of mismatched eyes--one violet the other one a golden yellow. To typical commoners she was just another child with some strange deformity, but to me she was beauty, pure and free. One uncanny thing about her though, was her trait for being able to tell what was going through my mind. She knew me like a book and could tell even with my cool facade, that I was shaken up by something. I was beckoned to her by a curl of her finger and for what felt like ages, our lips touched and her slender arms encircled me. After what was really only a second of a kiss she poured me a bowl of stew and told me to eat. I did so gratefully wondering why she had done such a thing. When I looked up after finishing my bowl she leaned forward and wiped a few dribbles of gravy from my lower lip and cheek. "Mistress..." She hushed me with her finger, then like a mother to her young she cradled my head in her lap and hummed a tune for me and as I slowly drifted off to sleep I whispered "I love you..." and paused then with some bravery continued "Lulu" I don't know if I was hearing correctly because after that I faintly heard the same words repeated to me before I could hear no more.
