The next day Luna woke up and felt well rested as sunlight shines through her stained glass windows. She changed into a cream colored cotton dress with lace and embroidered blue roses. The dress skirt was long and almost dragged behind her when she walked. Luna tucked a strand of silver hair behind her ear. A golden sapphire circlet rested lightly on her brow. She walked into the kitchen. Boiled cream treats filled a pot on the stove as a burning fireplace filled the room with warmth. Luna enjoyed small things like cooking even though that she could summon something from thin air with her magic. Luna took out a big bowl from the top cabinet and placed it on the counter. She snapped her fingers and a small basket filled with pancake ingredients materialized on the long dining table.

Luna picked the basket up and called on Bigglesworth. The snow white owl flew towards her and landed on the chandelier. Light cascaded through hanging crystals and painted the walls in iridescent rainbow colors. Birds chirped and sang from their branches. Luna heard a loud knock on her front door and went to open it. Luna looked around but no one was there. A sudden faint cry of a small child drew her attention. Her heart pounded slightly in her chest. She looked down a little confused and picked it up gently into her arms. Luna carefully wiped tears of the child's face and smiled. The mysterious child calmed down and stopped weeping. The child tugged Lunas hair a little and giggled. Luna chuckled slightly and sighed. Bigglesworth sat patiently at the porch and watched. Luna said "I think we have a new member to our cozy little family, Old friend" Bigglesworth chirped and curiously as he watched the child. Luna walked inside and waved her hand in a circular motion. A swirl of silver magic made the baby hover carefully in the air. Luna frowned her brow and pulled out a pink quartz stone from an nearby old hanging tapestry. She threw it hard onto the ground and it shattered into a million pieces. The shards glowed and started to shake and build itself back into different shapes. The crystal grew larger and larger until it turned into a crib. Luna placed the baby in her new little bed. "As queen, but also as the great witch, I am sworn to protect my people and kingdom. " Luna repeated her oath inside her head. But deep down she worried slightly for her child. Arrogance with power could easily kill like a blade to the throat. She knew that the child had magic capabilities which could easily be tainted by others. Luna tilted her head to the side and lifted the crib and moved it to her room. The only thing that could be heard was the soft tapping of her footsteps on stone floor. Luna put the crib down in the middle of her room and kissed the baby on the head. Bigglesworth landed on his perch and looked at her in the eyes “Do you want me to get a blanket for her?.” Luna only smiled “If you really want to, then yes please” Bigglesworth jumped up to a tall shelf and grabbed a soft linen blanket. With a few flap of his wings he perfectly dropped the blanket over the child.
