Day 1

Every story has a beginning, but I simply don't know where or how to start mine. It has been hundreds of years, yet thinking about it still fills me with pain. My name is Cornelia Avexis Moon, and this is the story of my life so far. Here's a little detail about me: I'm a Lunari, a being of pure Arcane (Magic), and thus immortal. I am the last of my people, continuing the legacy they believed in, protecting the Earth and its people. But one day, everything changed. It was July 15, 2020, and I was at a summer camp. I thought it would be fun, enjoying some time alone, maybe making some friends. It had been a while since I had fun, as always helping others made me tired. I had to get loose at least for one summer. Luckily, my identity was hidden among mortals, a blessing from the first queen made sure of it. On the first day at the camp, nothing really happened. I unpacked my stuff from my bag, clothes, and some trinkets from the past. After I finished packing out, I went to the great hall, eager to make friends. The last time I had someone close was a while ago. I still remember them fondly, sometimes painfully. As I looked around in the great hall, trying to find a seat, that was the moment I saw him. Suddenly, I had a feeling in my heart; I had never felt like this before. He was handsome, with short dark brown hair, beautiful big blue eyes, cute small ears, and the brightest smile I had ever seen. I didn't know what to say. I had never had a problem with talking to people before. I had spoken to kings, emperors, and even gods, but he was different. I noticed there was an empty seat next to him. I took some courage and started walking towards him. Taking a deep breath, I asked him.

C: Umh, Hi. I can't find any other free spots. Can I sit here?

???: Hello. Sure. Take a seat.

He said with a big smile on his face.

C: Cornelia.

???: Huh?

C: My name is Cornelia.

I held out my hand. I was so clumsy.

K: Keitaro.

We shook hands. Keitaro's hand was soft. While he was touching my hand, I had a feeling in my heart like never before. What is this feeling? I couldn't move. I felt weak. I blushed, and I let go of his hands quickly.

C: We-we should listen to what the Scoutmasters have to say.

K: Yes. Are you... ok? You seem nervous.

C: I'm-m fine, don't worry about me.

K: If you say so.

What am I doing babbling like an idiot?! I felt so awkward. I looked at him, but he didn't seem to pay attention. Keitaro was listening to the announcement. It looks like he didn't notice how stupidly I acted. I slowly calmed down and listened to what the Scoutmasters had to say.

The Scoutmasters welcomed us to the camp. They told us the rules and what kind of activities we will have.

S Richard: That will be all. You may now all leave for your cabins.

After that, everyone left for their cabin. It was nighttime already, so I decided to sleep even tho I didn't have to. One of the perks of being a Lunari. I was lying on my bed, trying to get some sleep. But I only could think about Keitaro. Every time I close my eyes, I can see him in front of me. I still do...

And with him in my mind, I went to sleep. I dreamed about today's day. How I held his hands to greet him. But this time, I saw him smiling and blushing. It was a wonderful dream...
