[Leena Ayesha McCleen]
Luna disappeared again? She really likes to wander a lot. Tsk. When I went to the library, I didn’t even see her. Maybe she had already gone home again without me. I rolled my eyes. Tsk. I know she's glued to a book again.
“Leena!” Jasmine called, and I turned to her.
“Oh, Jas, why?”
“We are going to Thumbelina City tomorrow, are you coming?” she said while smiling widely, and I nodded.
“Cool!” I uttered.
“All right! We’ll just meet at our previous meeting place.” I nodded and waved her goodbye.
When I arrived at the Palace, I ran to my room and checked to see if Luna had returned home. I smiled when I saw her reading a book. I jumped up on my bed beside her and faced her.
“What are you reading, Luna?” I asked. She did not even take her attention away from the book she was reading. “Just nothing,” she answered shortly, and I just shrugged my shoulders.
I got up and walked towards the wardrobe cabinet to change clothes. Afterward, I strutted out of the room and went downstairs. I smiled when I saw mama and papa.
“Mama! Papa!”
“Oh hi, princess! Is Luna there?” papa asked, and I shook my head. “No. She’s in our room and reading.” I replied.
“Oh, she quite read a lot of books.” papa said while shaking his head in amusement. “Call your sister and we’ll have dinner.” Papa continued, and I nodded.
I was about to go up the stairs when I saw Luna coming down. “Luna! There you are. Come and let’s eat.” she just nodded. I frowned. Luna looked saddened. What happened? Never mind, I’ll just ask her later.
When we arrived at the dining room, the servers had already served the food, so we sat down.
“Good appetite.” Papa and mama said.
“Good appetite.” Luna and I said in unison, even though they couldn't hear her. I pity my twin because of her condition.
“By the way, mama, papa. My friends and I are going to the City of Thumbelina tomorrow. Is it ok? Please?” I said with a puppy look. And I smiled because it was effective.
“Okay, go ahead. Bring Luna with you.” mama said, so I looked at Luna. “You want to come along, Luna?” I asked, and she shook her head no.
“No. You can go, I’m staying here,” she said, and I frown, “But... don’t you want to go there?” I asked in astonishment. “I’m just not in the mood to go out, Leena,” she said, and when she was like that, I could not force her. She still seems affected by her condition. Because our 16th birthday is coming and nothing has changed in her condition yet.
It is still a puzzle to us why Luna was born different from me. We have almost the same power, but she is different because others cannot see her. I felt Luna’s sadness. So, I will talk to her about it later.
After dinner, I went to the music room and played the piano. I got used to playing the piano after dinner.
I miss Luna. When we were kids, she used to play the piano with me and sometimes play the guitar. I miss the old Luna. When we grew up, she seemed to have changed. And I know that’s because of her condition. Every day I tell her she will be normal one day.
I turned around when the door opened and Luna came in, so I smiled. She approached me and sat beside me on the piano.
"Do you miss me?" she asked. I nodded.
"Yes, I miss you, Luna. You aren't the bubbly Luna anymore. What's wrong?" I asked in a worried tone.
I can see the sadness on her face. I was even more worried when I saw her crying. Because we are twins, I am also affected. I hugged her for comfort.
"I'm tired, Leena. Am I going to stay like this forever? I'm tired of this." I stroked her back to make her feel better. She was always silent about her feelings, so I didn't know she felt this way.
"Shh, stop crying, okay? Everything will be alright." I said while caressing her hair.
"But I'm tired of waiting, Leena. I'm losing hope. Maybe I'll just be like this for the rest of my life. I don't want to, Leena. I'm alive, but I feel like I'm dead. Mama and Papa couldn't even see and hear me. I'm so useless!" Luna suddenly pulled out of my hug, and then she just disappeared from my sight.
"Luna!" I gasped. She teleported. My chest weighed heavily. My tears still didn't stop flowing down my face. She is in so much pain.
A few days passed by, but Luna still didn't return home. We are so worried about her well-being. Mama always cries out of worry and nervousness. The heavyweight on my chest is still here. This is because of Luna.
Where are you, Luna?

[Luna Syesha]
I walked around the Madag Forest for days. According to the book I read, the Madag Forest is a home of dangerous creatures.
What the book says is true because I have seen a lot of disgusting creatures. I am lucky because they can't see me or feel my presence. Being invisible is an advantage. I have been here in the forest for a few days. At night, I sleep in the cave with those creatures.
When I felt tired, I entered the cave. It surprised me when something lit up at the very end of the cave, so I went there out of curiosity. When I got to the end, an exquisite woman appeared. Her back was facing me, so I approached her slowly. By the looks of it, she looks like a goddess.
"Who are you? And how did you get into my cave?" It surprised me when she spoke. She turned around to face me.
"Ah, my name is Luna. I read about this forest in a book, and while I was walking around, I saw this cave. I'm sorry if I disturbed you..." I said, even though she can't hear me. She gasped and stared at me.
"Luna..." she whispered, and I nodded.
"You are not an ordinary being. I can feel the blood of a goddess on you. How are you related to the Goddess of the Moon, Luna, or Artemis?" she said and I gasped, then my face lit up.
"Do you know my grandmother?" I asked. Wait! Shocks! She could hear me and see me? Woah!
"You are Luna's granddaughter. And your name is also Luna. My name is Amanda Madag. I’m the guardian of this forest, and I am glad to meet you." She said and smiled.
My eyes widened and said in delight, "Wait! You can hear me and see me? I thought only my twin could see me! I'm glad that two people can see and hear me now!"
Her gaze fixated on me. "You are… invisible? That's why the creatures didn't attack you. How did that happen?" she said in astonishment.
"Even my family doesn't know why I became invisible. I was born this way." I said.
"Is this the consequences of Luna's sin?" she whispered, but I heard it.
Does this mean that I was the consequence of the love affair of grandma Luna and grandpa Lucas?
"Do you know anything about the consequences? Is there a way for me to go back to normal?" I asked in a hopeful tone.
"The gods and goddesses said nothing about the consequences of Goddess Luna. And you are the first one to experience these consequences. I'm sorry, but I don't know if you can go back to normal. The councils of the gods and goddesses are powerful, so there is no solution for this." she said, and I couldn't help but feel saddened.
"However, Goddess Luna is also powerful. And you have her blood. You are her first grandchild, so I know you also got her ability. Just believe in yourself and don't lose hope. I am sure your grandmother is also looking for a solution to your situation. As a grandma, she will do everything for you and guide you." She continued, and I felt at ease. "Believe in yourself, Luna." I smiled and nodded.
"Yes. I will also do everything to find answers to my condition. I wanted my parents to see me, hear me, and touch me because I longed to hug them so much."
"Don't worry, I'll help you," she said, which was a relief.
"Thank you," I said with a smile.
[Luna Syesha] A few days have passed, but we still haven’t found a solution to my condition. I was just walking around the forest until I saw a gigantic tree. It amazed me, so I quickly went there to see it closer. “Wow! This tree is so huge!” I uttered in amazement and touched the tree, but my hand just slipped through. My eyes widened, and I was about to take my hand, but there was a force pulling me forward. I tried to use my power to escape, but it wasn’t effective until it swallowed me. I closed my eyes as the light blinded me. When I fluttered my eyes open, I couldn’t help but gasp in amazement at what I saw. I am here on top of a mountain and I can see up here the entire town below. There are many colored houses and on the other side of the mountain, there is a huge purple medieval castle. Another gasp let out of my mouth when suddenly the sunlight hit my skin. I could feel the heat, which I didn’t feel before because it used to just penetrate. “What happened? Where am I?”
[Luna Syesha]After our long talk, they let me stay in their house. It is almost six o’clock in the evening and people are getting ready because any minute from now, their appearance will change. They will transform into wolves. Grandma Mela and Berting told me not to leave the house until morning. But I want to see their transformation. They left the house in a hurry because it was only a few seconds to six o’clock. I just peeked out through the window. All the people are outside.At exactly six o’clock, they all transformed into wolves and howled while looking up at the moon. Then, I saw a woman in black riding a broomstick and I could hear clearly what she was saying because of her loud ugly voice.“Bwahahaha, how are you, my pets? Hahaha haha, you all deserved it!” The ugly woman laughs like a witch. Oh, she’s really a witch. And she’s so ugly!I saw all the wolves looking like lost sheep. They seem terrified of this witch. A smile curved on my lips. I didn’t follow Grandma Mela’
[Third Person POV]People living in Sampa town are happy again. The curse of witches from black wizards finally lifted. Everyone is having fun and they are thankful for a girl named Luna. Fearing that the other witches would return, Luna cast a spell to protect the entire town against the black wizards.Everyone witnessed Luna make protection barriers around the town. At first, the people were afraid of what Luna was doing. But Luna informed them what she did was for their safety. When Luna flew upward into the air, it amazed everyone. Luna doesn’t even use a wand like them. The Mages use a wand to unleash their abilities but with limitations because their body is weak. Too much power will kill them. “Luna! Luna!”Luna wandered around the entire town with Riget when someone called her. The young girl rushed to her and eventually smiled widely at her.“Hi, Luna! I’m Mirai! Can I talk to you for a moment? Please?”Luna hesitated but later on agreed. The young girl smiled broadly and pu
[Luna Syesha]A gasp let out of my mouth when suddenly a giant snake came up from the stream. It looked at me evilly.‘I guess I’m lucky today. I haven’t eaten for a long time bwahahahaha.’My forehead creased, and my eyebrows furrowed when I heard a voice. I looked around, but there was no one else here but me. Therefore, I conclude the snake is the one who speaks.The snake suddenly rushed towards me, but I dashed away. I jumped on a tree branch.“Why do you want to eat me, giant snake?” I asked, and the snake stopped attacking me.‘You can understand me?’ the snake asked for confirmation. “Yes.” I jumped down and landed on the rock where I was sitting earlier. The giant snake looked at me and bowed slightly.‘Forgive my audacity, princess...’“How did you know I was a princess?” I asked.‘You have the blood of a princess and the blood of a goddess.’ the snake said. Afterward, the snake suddenly glowed. My mouth hung in awe to see the snake’s new appearance when the dazzling light
[Luna Syesha]The sound of the alarm clock on and off woke me up. I got up and did some stretching. It’s another day! A smile formed on my lips as I glimpsed Regit sleeping on the sofa peacefully. He’s so cute. I quickly took a shower and when I finished, I realized I didn’t have any clothes. But I found a dress laying down on the bed. I slipped it on and smiled as I dashed out of the room. I found Grandma Mela in the dining room while preparing something to eat. “Good morning, Grandma Mela!” I greeted. She gave me a sweet smile and said, “Oh, good morning, Luna. Come here and help me prepare our breakfast.”“Sure, Grandma!” I replied energetically and helped Grandma Mela prepare the table. After that, we ate in comfortable silence. “Where is Uncle Berting?” I asked, after noticing that the man wasn’t home.“He left so early. Every morning before the sun rises, everyone begins their training. This is the second war that will take place throughout Majika. So we must prepare ourselves.
[Luna Syesha]“Armani, we need to get down and help the people below,” I said, and Armani growled. “Luna, they have now begun the war,” Mirai said nervously.Suddenly, the sky darkened, and now dark smoke covered the whole place. To the east, knights from the palace marched towards the town. Witches and black wizards rushed toward the knights, so the battle began. Even in the palace, the fight also started. Armani flew downwards in a swift motion and shortly after we landed and Mirai got off his back. The fight stopped when they saw us. Armani blew a white smoke, and it surprised the witches and black wizards.We immediately charged to continue the fight. I didn’t realize that the war would take place right now. Lots of flying witches and black wizards casting black spells. Mirai prepared herself and fought the black wizards that attacked her. I’m still riding at the back of Armani. We flew upward and fought the witches, who were also flying around. We both sighed as we saw the treme
[Luna Syesha]“No! I’m not your child! You killed my parents! I will make you pay for what you did!” Mirai said, her eyes narrowed with a clenched fist. “They deserve to die because they took you away from us! It was their fault that we lost you! They took you, Mirai! And I did everything I could to see you...” Asgar said, while tears escaped from his eyes. “No. I don’t believe you!” Mirai cried. I knew the truth hurt her. She looked so confused because of Aira, who looks like her.Everyone looked at me as I walked towards the air bubbles where Asgar was.“L-Luna...” Mirai called, and I just smiled at her.I looked at Asgar and said, “There’s only one way to find out if you’re saying the truth, Asgar. Once you are lying, I will not hesitate to kill you.” Asgar nodded. Because of the little air that he inhaled inside the air bubble, made him weak. I blew the air bubbles, causing Asgar to fall weakly to the ground. His children approached him.“Are you okay, Father?” Aira asked worrie
[Luna Syesha]Suddenly, a loud voice echoed. “What a scene! Bwahahahaha!” we turned to our back and saw a witch carrying an unconscious person. It’s Victoria.“Mother!” Fier shouted, and he was about to approach the witch.“Stay where you are, Prince Fier. Or else I will kill your beloved mother! Hahaha!” the witch said.“Agnes, what did you do to Victoria!” Asgar said furiously.“Don’t worry, Asgar, because she is not dead yet. Because I will kill her in front of you! Bwahahaha!” the witch replied. “You’re a traitor, Agnes! I trusted you!” Asgar shouted in anger. “Hahahaha! You’re a hypocrite, Asgar. If you hadn’t married Victoria and married me instead, this wouldn’t have happened!”“I will never ever like you, Agnes! You know that!”“Asgar is right, witchy witch. He won’t like you because you’re ugly. How are you related to Alena, the witch?” I interrupted while grinning. She glared daggers at me.“You! You killed my sister! I will make you pay!” she immediately cast a spell—a bo
