章 13: The true awakening

On this, our protagonist, who has now totally merged with Luna's body, began to see more and more black. The body, that she could feel before, began to warm up more and more. And she felt in addition to that a feeling of fatigue, like when you have just been sick.

The more time passed, the more she felt like she was back in the feeling of sleeping. Finally, feeling perfectly connected to the body, she tried with all her strength to move. When she thought she could open her eyes, she left an all-black world, only to find it a microsecond later. In less than an instant, she realized that it must be dark and that everyone was sleeping. When she wanted to get up, she was unable to make any gestures. She was in a kind of sleep paralysis.

As she tried with all her strength to move, her body, which was no longer tired, suddenly became lethargic again. Then, without her being able to see, she fell back into a deep sleep.

Without her realizing it, the night passed in less than an instant, while having made the slightest dream…

When she regained consciousness, she can see that the room is illuminated by a ray of sunshine, despite her closed eyes. With this, she felt movement around her, but above all a feeling of touch and warmth of her hand. She began to hear noises, mostly voices.

After a little concentration, she recognized her mother's voice, Maria, and heard her say " Doctor, will my daughter wake up soon?" with a hint of sadness.

She heard a man's voice answer shortly after her mother finished speaking, "Madam, Miss Luna has no fever, she can wake up at any time." Following these words, Luna guessed that he was the famous Doctor from her mother's mouth.

Feeling her mother's worry, Luna tried with all her strength to shake her hand, which was in her mother's. After a considerable effort, she managed to move her fingertips. Feeling this Luna went crazy with joy internally, but no one outside could see her joy.

Her mother, who was extremely attentive to her daughter's slightest movement, could feel the small movement of Luna's fingers in her hand. She immediately said to the doctor "Doctor, she moved, I felt it." without being able to hide her excitement.

The doctor reacted instantly is, it rushed to the bed where Luna is lying. Without waiting for a second, he took Luna's wrist and began to take her pulse. After a few moments, he said confidently as he looked at Maria "Madam, your daughter is out of danger and in perfect health, she will wake up from one second to the next".

Luna, who tried to regain control of her body, did not pay attention to the conversation between her mother and the doctor. She put all her energy into being able to open her eyes. After a constant effort, she felt being closer and closer to her goal. Until suddenly, his eyes began to open each other.

Under the watchful gaze of his mother, his eyes opened. The first thing she saw was a light, which dazzled her a little, as in her 'dream'. The person is locked up at home, in the dark, to finish a job until he finally goes out to buy food. Once her eyes got used to the light, she looked left and right to finish her journey on her mother's face, who showed immense joy and above all great relief.

Before she could do anything, her mother hugged her tightly. A few minutes later, Luna managed to pat her mother on the back, saying in a muffled voice, "Mom, you're suffocating me, I'm going to die."

Her mother, who is currently in a state of excitement, heard Luna's complaint and released her while saying "I can't do anything about it my dear, you scared us. You've been in bed for a week now while having heat spikes."

Luna who heard her was stunned, in her mind everything had happened in a matter of moments. She then asked her mother, "Mom, what day are we?"

Maria replied while lovingly stroking her hair, "It's Wednesday, November 12, a week after you fainted during your birthday, November 5. My dear, lengthen you and let the doctor look at you, I will prepare a breakfast for you.". Without giving Luna time to react, she lengthened it and walked to the door to make room for the doctor.

When his mother returned, the doctor had just finished his auscultation. He said while looking at Maria, "Everything is fine ma'am, the princess did not have any trauma. She was just a proud villain, maybe her magic that was a little unstable." once he finished he took his bag full of gear, and he left the room after greeting Maria and Luna.

Once the doctor left, Maria went to Luna and put a tray on her lap while saying in a soft voice, "Let Mom feed you, my dear.".

As her mother fed her, Luna felt a sense of loneliness for the person in her 'dream' who had never been able to experience this feeling. At the same time, she made a promise in her mind. This promise is that she will pay tribute to the person in her 'dream', that she will live well with her family on Blue Star and that she will accomplish her goal not to shame her family while making them proud.
