lullaby story

In a world of swords and magic, a Lunarian named Mizuki, pledge to seek revenge for the deaths of his family when their village was slaughtered seven years ago. He managed to escape and ventures to find the Moon Goddess, who is the only one who can give all the answers he is looking for about his parent’s death and his true identity. Along his journey, he faces various battles and meet new companions. Later in the night especially when it’s full moon, he plays a special song hoping that the goddess would hear his call. The song also acts as a lullaby to calm the souls of the Lunarians who died that day and silence their cries as their voices still echoed in his ear, the lullaby of the moon.

In the enchanting land of Serendia, where shimmering moonlight dance upon tranquil lakes and ancient forest whisper secrets, there exists a mysterious lullaby that drifts throught the hight air.

Okay, is this thing on? No? I’m moving the camera… It’s not working? What do you mean it’s not working, do you know how hard it is for me to get this? What, you said that the audio just works fine but the camera isn’t? Fine… but do you think I should start with… “Yo, this is Death and welcome to my vlog?” The hell do you mean that it’s not a vlog? Fine… fine, I’ll just do it normally. … Hello, this is Death… Yes, that Death but not the one that goes for dogs or visits old ladies or men in their rooms to take them out, which I have to say that I’m not… I don’t do that anymore. But, moving on… since we, as part of the enterprise that screens the dead and basically one of the few core institutions that manage the underworld itself, are alarmed at this current number of deaths we’re having right now, with the virus and all. Thus, as part of the company’s policy, we are here right now to deliver this public service announcement. Like the other institutions that you, humans, have, we strongly advise that you should keep yourself indoors and of course, keep yourselves healthy and wash your hands. In accordance with that, we have assigned a group of talented people to document, compile and rewrite their fellow reaper’s reports for your viewing pleasure. Thus, we would very much proud to show you this collective story, that was rewritten to follow a coherent narrative about our own Reapers, born of you, humans as well, who chose to end their own lives, doing their jobs to help the souls of other people still bound to the earth. This is the Project Lullaby and we sincerely hope that you would enjoy our story and keep yourself at home where you’re safe from the virus, please… like seriously. That is all, thank you.

"It all started with a lullaby. With a voice more melodic than a nightingale's but a heart colder than winter. Hatred led to the death of the innocent. A blood sacrifice was made. Lullabies glorify death. You'll know why. For now, listen to the Wintertide's Lullaby." Lumi never knew what safety felt like. When she did, she never wanted to let it go. Life had other plans for her, but fate had sympathy and gave her a gift. She will never be alone ever again. Matthos Trem wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but his heart was always in the right place. In the midst of a pandemic, he finds himself entangled with a creature never encountered by anyone before. With his best friend, Barney Matthos goes on an adventure to discover the pearl of the orient sea and find the answer to what is killing his people. And Lumi is both the answer and the question. Excerpt: Matthos chuckled, “So it was like that?” Judging from the circumstances he found her in, she should’ve been dead. She’s barely alive, he noted. He snapped back to reality as the wind grew stronger. The storm will only get stronger from then on. His time was limited. With that, Matthos carefully took her in his arms. She was barely breathing. He felt the burning need to save her, an unfamiliar feeling like never before. Without further ado, he walked away, leaving the fountain and the peaceful life he believed he would lead from then on.

Dear Tear, How are you, my love? Winter has already ended and spring has just began. Snow started to melt and new green plants has sprout from the ground. Istark's wild flowers were beautiful as always. They reminded me of you. Beautiful, strong, independent, tough yet at the same time delicate. I pick some and send them to you along with this letter. I hope you'll love them. How was your day? Have you been eating well? Please, don't skip your meals, okay? Is the young Duke from Verkin Dukedom still bothering you? I'm worried, my love. I'm not there to protect you if he force you again. Don't leave Rita's side, understand? My Love, I've been missing you more and more as days passes by. I want to see you so badly. I've only been thinking nothing but you, the whole time I'm here in Grimaldi, fighting against a bunch of monsters and beast day in and day out. I wanna be near you, again and watch you as you enjoy your favorite tea. I want to accompany you while you take your afternoon walk in the garden. However, we're miles apart and I can't do anything aside from missing you. But, winter's over now. The monsters and beasts going rampant have greatly reduced their numbers. If this continues, I might be able to come back in the Capital, a month from now. Will you come, see me after I come back? Nevertheless, I will still be waiting for you in our usual meeting place. I love you, my dearest, Princess Ultear Merlione Betania. - Kurtis Theseus Lazarus
