CHAPTER 1

Arrival in the Moonlight The vast expanse of the desolate lunar landscape was illuminated ethereally by the silvery light of the full moon. A lone figure came out of the shadows, their soft steps rubbing against the lunar surface. This was not your typical tourist; Lily Hartwood, a young woman, was the main character in this.

Lily had forever been attracted to the secrets of the evening, intrigued by the stories of legendary animals that lurked under the moon's careful focus. Her interest drove her to set out on an excursion, not knowing where it would lead her. She was now standing at the entrance of an enigmatic lunar outpost about which she had heard rumors—Luna Whispers.

The outpost's metal structure blended in with the lunar rock formations, standing alone against the stark lunar landscape. Her senses were heightened with a mix of trepidation and excitement as Lily approached cautiously. The reports had discussed this spot as a haven for animals of the evening, a shelter for creatures that rode the line between human and monster. It was said that Luna Murmurs held the way to opening the insider facts of their reality.

As Lily arrived at the entry, she saw a gleaming holographic presentation projected over the entryway. It showed a wolf silhouette superimposed over a crescent moon. The image changed into a message as it shimmered, illuminating the darkness with its luminous glow. The words showed up, as though written in the moonlight: " Luna Whispers abounds with secrets.

Lily felt a rush of excitement in her veins. This spot was all that she had envisioned from there, the sky's the limit. She pushed open the heavy door with a mix of trepidation and resolve, revealing a dimly lit interior filled with blue and silver tones. Her senses seemed to be energized by the otherworldly scent and the cool, crisp air.

As her eyes adjusted to the soft light, Lily entered the building. As if the moon herself had whispered secrets within the walls, the interior exuded a quiet reverence. Elongated shadows that danced on the walls were cast by the moonlight streaming through tall, arched windows. Ancient tapestries with scenes of lunar creatures and celestial cycles decorated the room.
