She doesn't remember much of her past. She says it comes in flashes, but they never stay. When I first found her, she was very hostile and sarcastic. Maybe she was a bit bitter for being in a dusty attic for 12 years, who knows. She was angry that she couldn't remember her name and when I had given her the name MoonSlayer, she was so upset with me. She cursed me out in front of my Pop and he threatened to put her in the fireplace, but I stopped him.

"I am NOT MoonSlayer!" She practically screamed in my face, you know...if she could actually get in my face.

"Then who are you?!" I remember screaming at the bow. The air in the living room was so thick. Pop finally spoke after about three seconds of silence.

"Aurora, go calm down. And you," I remember him squeezing the bow tight in his right hand before finishing. "You ever curse her out again, I won't hesitate to throw you into the fire." Pop's voice was almost growl he was so angry.

After that Moon didn't speak to me for a good couple of months. It wasn't until one night, that I heard her fall into the wooden floor. I woke up and I went to go pick her up and lean her against the wall again, but then I heard it. She was crying. I went over to my bed and sat down, lying her across my lap. She didn't speak to me, so I decided to start the conversation.

"Do you sleep?"

"Why do you ask? I'm a bow, I can't." Her voice was sharp and shaking.

"I was asking because I was wondering if you had a nightmare."

"No. It wasn't that..." Her voice softened just a bit before she spoke again. "I had a flash of a memory. I remember pain and sadness."

"Do you remember why you were sad?" I asked cautiously.

There was a long pause. I had wondered if I overstepted my bounds. I was just about to get up and put her against the wall when she spoke up again.

"I lost something important. But I can't remember what it was." The tone in her voice was no longer hostile. She was just upset. Not being able to remember things and just seeing flashes of a past that is long gone, I'd probably be frustrated and hostile too.

"Well, we have a lot of time to figure out who you were. So don't worry about it too much." I yawned and stood up. "It's late, I need my sleep." I placed her against the wall across from mym bed. "Goodnight MoonSlayer."

I figured that she wouldn't answer me back. As I closed my eyes and laid my head down, I hear a very soft,

MOONSLAYER (EN/ES) is a high fantasy graphic novel with ancient gods, dragon warriors, creepy faeries and a cursed warrior princess. Now with interspecies romance! Zombies! Ancient ruins! and a trickster god!

So these are all the doodles I did for that “I <3 Webcomics” thing I posted yesterday. I got 8 Likes total, so I picked my fave character from 8 different webcomics I’m reading/have read.

Buwaro (and “Snowy”) from Slightly Damned. A fantasy that takes the “Angels vs Demons” trope and twists it all around! This was actually a comic Leigh introduced to me early in our relationship, and I was hooked.

Foyle Leaf from Missing Monday. I’ve hyped this one before, but I’ll summarize it again. It’s a fantastical story about two gals who fall in love and have to meet again SOMEHOW. Keys and corridors and strange creatures and bargainings....Oooh~

Nymph!Syrma from MoonSlayer (adult content warning). This one’s a high fantasy epic about a cursed girl and her journey to kill the moon. Curious? You’ll have to check it out then, huh?

Emily from Heroic Shenanigans. This one a simple tale about kids at a camp learning about their superpowers and how to use them and become actual heroes eventually!

Rana Tashovic from Sombulus. I just started reading this one recently, but it’s definitely keeping my attention. It’s a fun fantasy shonen-like tale about a group of magical/fighting/mechanic misfits traveling around the world and causing weirdness wherever they go.

Nwain from Nwain: The Knight Who Wandered Dream. An animated comic (it’s real neat), it’s about this gal who is searching for her home and along the way, helps others with their problems while figuring out her own.

Bailey from The Junk Hyenas Diner. Another one from the creator who made Slightly Damned, this one is a more lighthearted sci-fi slice-of-life where we focus on a small hyena-like clan and their little diner and the kinds of guests and silly shenanigans that can come with that, too

Well, I've been on my own since I was 18. I knew the moment that I was told I was adopted, that I needed answers. So the years leading up to my 18th birthday, I helped Pop in the fields and he taught me how to camp, make a fire, what berries and other food was good to eat in the wild.

Like I said, the town of Raintonga was kinda back country, so the next big city was about a day bus trip. I would've just taken the bus, but a couple days before I was head off, Mama had hurt her back and I help Pop pay for the medicine for her pain. It was worth it though. My parents taught me that family comes first. Maybe that's why they were supportive of my choice to find my real parents.

When I first started out, I slept in the country woods. And I loved it. I was always comfortable with nature. That first night away from home was hard. I'd never been away from home alone. I always had Mama or Pop with me. So that first night, laying down and looking up at the starry sky, I talked to Moon until she made me feel comfortable enough to sleep.

"Moon, did you know my parents?"

"I would like to say I did, but I don't know." Moon said in a calming tone. Sometimes she really does sound like a wise and patient parent. "But I do remember that you are loved, by whoever left me with you."

There was a couple minutes of silence but I asked her another question.

"So, how are you talking again? I know that there's a soul in you.."

"Yes. There's just one soul within. I can't remember much of my past. Unfortunately, I remember that my last few minutes alive was very painful and sad." Her sadness lingered in the summer air. "I'm sorry, I don't have many answers for you."

"Don't be! It's ok, I was just wondering..I didn't mean to bring up sad memories? Whether way, I'm sorry." I said to the bow that was to my side.

"It's ok. Maybe during this adventure, my past will come back to me." She sounded as if she was smiling. "It's getting late. You need sleep if you want to get up early."

I yawned and closed my eyes slowly. "Good night."

18 year old me: "I swear to God, Moon I will make you into a god damn camp fire if you don't shut up."

Moon: "You're just mad that I was right, yet again."

Me: "Well, then. I guess I'd better start on camp, since we're in a beautiful wooded area where no one can hear screams for miles around."
