Beneath the stars, I wander alone,
Where dreams and shadows gently intone.
In silver light, I close my eyes,
To find the truth where darkness lies.
A figure stands, yet walks away,
In moonlit whispers, night turns to day.

The night was bright, with the moon hanging high in the sky, casting its silver glow across the serene landscape. The stars twinkled like scattered jewels, and the cool night breeze ruffled the grass in the distance. In the heart of this tranquil clearing, a lone figure sat on a log, her fur gleaming faintly in the moon's glow. The feline figure—Selenai—appeared lost in her thoughts, her iridescent silver eyes closed as if she were in silent meditation, contemplating something only she could understand.
Her fur, a lustrous cascade of silver, glowed softly, catching the moonlight in a way that made her seem otherworldly, ethereal. She was a felisara, a humanoid feline, and her presence in the night seemed like something pulled from a dream. Her face was peaceful, yet her expression hinted at deeper emotions—something on her mind, something just out of reach.
Time seemed to stretch endlessly as she remained seated on the log, her tail curled gracefully around her side. She took in the silence, the gentle rustling of leaves, and the distant chirping of night insects. There was something sacred about the stillness, as though the moon itself was watching over her, casting an ethereal blanket of light and peace.
But, after what felt like hours, Selenai stirred. Her eyes fluttered open, revealing the shimmering silver within them. With a soft sigh, she rose from the log, her movements fluid and graceful—natural for a creature like her. She dusted off her fur with her paws, the slight swish of her tail following her movements. As she collected herself, she reached for the small bag she had carried with her.
Her home was not far—just beyond the edge of the clearing. The path ahead was familiar, yet in the quiet of the night, it always felt like a journey. Selenai padded softly along the grassy trail, her ears twitching at every sound. The cold air brushed through her fur, but she didn't mind; it was a comfort to her, like the embrace of the night.
Her house came into view shortly after—a quaint cottage nestled amidst the trees, its wooden exterior worn with time yet still holding the warmth of her memories. The structure was modest but inviting, with a small garden out front, where she grew herbs and flowers, their scents mingling with the crisp night air. The roof was thatched, and the windows were small, with soft light pouring out from within, casting a warm glow on the surrounding area.
Selenai approached the door, her paws silent on the wooden steps. She pulled out a key from her bag and unlocked the door with a quiet click. As the door swung open, she stepped inside, greeted by the familiar warmth of her home. She placed her bag on a small table by the entrance and stood still for a moment, her head bowed slightly as though she were lost in thought.
A soft sigh escaped her lips as she looked around. The interior of her home was simple, yet cozy. The walls were lined with shelves filled with trinkets and books, the air faintly carrying the scent of lavender and old wood. A fireplace stood at one end of the room, casting a soft, flickering light that danced along the walls. The furniture was minimal—just a small sofa, a couple of chairs, and a wooden dining table. Everything in the house felt like it had a purpose, yet nothing felt cluttered or overwhelming.
After standing in silence for a few moments, Selenai turned and padded towards the kitchen. Her paws lightly touched the wooden floor, each step deliberate and silent, her feline grace evident in her every movement. She wasn't particularly hungry, but she knew she needed to eat something before she could rest. As she opened the cupboard, she reached for a simple meal—something quick and light.
The kitchen itself was modest, with a small stove, a few hanging pots and pans, and a wooden countertop that had seen years of use. She lit a small fire and began preparing her meal, her tail swishing gently behind her as she moved through the kitchen. Her mind, however, was elsewhere, drifting back to the dream she had last night. The figure in the forest—who was he? What did it all mean?
She couldn't shake the feeling that the dream was important, something she needed to understand. But the more she tried to remember, the more it slipped away, like sand through her paws.
With her meal prepared, she sat at the small dining table, her paws carefully holding a spoon as she ate in silence. Her gaze drifted to the window, where the moon still shone brightly outside. It comforted her, yet it also reminded her of the dream—the garden, the forest, the figure. She sighed softly, ears twitching slightly as her thoughts continued to wander.
Once she finished her meal, Selenai cleaned up quickly, her movements still fluid and precise. She then made her way to the bathroom. The space was small but functional, with a simple bathtub and a mirror hanging on the wall. She undressed, her fur shimmering faintly in the dim light, and stepped into the warm water.
As she bathed, she allowed herself to relax, her mind quieting for the first time that evening. The water soothed her muscles, and she closed her eyes, letting the warmth envelop her. But even in this peaceful moment, the memory of the dream lingered at the edges of her thoughts, like a shadow she couldn't quite escape.
After her bath, Selenai dried herself off and slipped into her sleeping clothes, soft fabric brushing against her fur. She padded softly to her bedroom, her silver tail trailing behind her. The room was cozy, with a large bed covered in soft blankets. A small window allowed the moonlight to spill in, casting a gentle glow across the room.
Selenai sat on the edge of her bed, her gaze drifting to the framed photo on the bedside table. It was a picture of her when she was just a kitten, standing between her parents, their faces full of love and warmth. She smiled softly as she picked up the frame, holding it in her paws. The memories of her parents flooded her mind—memories of a time when everything was simpler, happier. It had been years since they passed, but the pain of their loss still lingered in her heart.
She placed the frame back on the table and laid down on the bed, pulling the blankets up to her chin. As she curled up, her tail resting beside her, she closed her eyes and tried to push the thoughts of the dream from her mind. But they wouldn't go away.
Selenai drifted off to sleep, her breathing slow and steady. And once again, she found herself in that enchanted garden, with its blooming flowers and tall trees. The dream was the same as before—beautiful, peaceful, until she ventured into the darker part of the garden, where the figure stood waiting for her.
But tonight, something felt different. There was an air of anticipation, as if the dream was trying to tell her something, something important.
And though she didn't know it yet, the dream was only the beginning.
