Chapter 28
City of Ragork...
The city never slept.
Even deep into the night, the streets overflowed with people of all sizes and ages, voices clashing, footsteps overlapping, life moving without pause. This was the kind of city that breathed even at birdtime.
Most people were busy working, trading, arguing, living.
Then the moon changed.
At first, it stole only a few glances. A curious look here, a raised head there. But soon, the streets slowed. Conversations died. Eyes lifted together.
The moon was wrapped in a golden sphere.
A young girl tugged at her mother's sleeve, eyes wide as she stared upward.
"Mom… is the moon turning into the sun?"
Her mother did not answer immediately. She stared at the sky, lips pressed tight, then slowly shook her head.
"No. I do not think so."
"Then what is it?" the girl asked.
The woman hesitated. She knew her daughter would not let it go without a story.
