Chasing the Moon

Prologue___________

The faint sound of footsteps echoed through the trees. Despite the mist that blanketed the forest path a lone figure ran on. The moonglow shone on her wings, paler then the whitest rose, her eyes like mercury stunning even in their lucid fear. Hearing the resonating voice behind her, she quickened her pace failing to head the warning her raged breath was giving. Hoping to lose her tracker in the depths of the wood, she erased the image of her wings feeling the instant strain on her strength.
The lights ahead gave a glimmer of hope. The sleeping bundle in her arms stirred and she sang to it in a wavering voice.

Chasing the moon
Riding the clouds
Pathways of gems
Encircled by shroud

Betrayed of thy heart
Challenged by flight
Chasing thy dream
Straining thy mind

Her vision began to blur just as she reached the house. Using the last of her strength she phased into the living room and place the precious cargo on a simple makeshift bed. Finding the resident couple she played into their dreams her request to care for the child and faded into darkness.
Well this is my newest story. Downright Fantasy. I've made up most of the stuff here or used myths and such. The prologue won't make much sense yet till I post Chapter one. yesh and one more thing: "moonglow" isn't really a word, at least according to spellcheck. but it has two meanings in this story. One is the very obvious: It's just another word for Moonlight. Two is: It's a gem but that isn't stated until later on.
