The atmosphere that had felt so peaceful throughout the day had quietly changed.
The warm colors of sunset had long disappeared beyond the distant mountains, leaving behind an endless blanket of deep blue stretching across the sky. One after another, the four moons of this strange world slowly revealed themselves, each shining with a different intensity as they climbed higher into the heavens. Their pale light spread over the open plains, giving the empty road an almost dreamlike appearance. The gentle breeze that had accompanied them all day continued to move through the tall grass, causing waves to ripple across the fields on either side of the road.
Yet despite how beautiful the night looked, none of them were paying attention to it anymore.
Every pair of eyes remained fixed on the small body lying motionless in the middle of the road.
