Bab 533: Betrayer’s Price-I

Maroon stood beside Cynthia as he watched the moon turning red. Everyone in the town had also stepped out from their houses. Those who had stood outside all stopped whatever they had been doing to look at the sky. Clearly this was the first time such thing happen to them; where the entire sky turned dark in a bright afternoon where the moon had turned so bright and red, as if it was boiling with lava.

"What's happening?" Cynthia questioned while looking at the moon. She also couldn't understand the sudden shift of the red moon. "The moon had been red since night and I know that but this is... this is beyond red and the sky... where is the moon?"

Maroon looked at his pocket watch for a moment to make certain he hadn't seen it wrong but the time was clearly in the afternoon. Suddenly he remembered the words Harriet said during the night. 

"The blood moon is the end of every happiness," uttered Maroon aloud, recollecting those words that Harriet had told him.
