The Moonlit Wanderer

The Moonlit Wanderer
A Novel

A crew of Lunaesi were sailing homeward from a distant port when they were besieged by a storm. Their vessel was tossed and twirled amidst the merciless waves of the sea, and when the tempest finally cleared, they found themselves dismally adrift. They scanned the horizon for land or birds, but all they beheld was the vast, unending expanse of the ocean.

With dwindling supplies, anxiety gripped the crew. That night, Lunae's celestial daughter, the Moonlit Wanderer, spied the ship from the stars. Intrigued, she called out to it.

"Why are you so far from land? It appears you're adrift with no particular destination," she asked.

"Oh, noble one! We were ensnared by a storm and thrown off course. Now, we are lost and running low on provisions. We do not know the way home," the captain replied.

The Moonlit Wander looked around them, as she had a much higher vantage point. She then returned her gaze to the ship.

"Follow me," she proclaimed, "and I shall guide you home."

The ship trailed behind her resplendent, colorful tail for two days, finally finding safe harbor. 

Since that fateful day, sailors from all herds have paid homage to The Moonlit Wanderer, knowing that if ever lost, she will be there to lead them back home.
