The Forest (Luna, Part Six)

Luna laughed at Grinelda's choice of helmet. "That's hilarious!" she exclaimed. "Can you talk to frogs with that thing?"

 

Grinelda nodded, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh yes, and they're quite chatty, you know. Always hopping around, talking about this and that."

 

As night fell, the two of them went for a walk through the lunar forest, meeting the strange life forms that lived there.

 

Luna put on her headset and felt her senses suddenly expand as she connected with the lunar ecosystem. She could hear the plants whispering to one another in a melodious wash of sound.

 

Luna approached a cluster of glowing mushrooms, their soft light pulsing in the shadows. She reached out a hand to touch one and was surprised to feel a gentle vibration under her fingertips. The mushrooms glowed a little brighter, as they welcomed Luna into their world.

 

Then she asked “What should I do next in this strange and wondrous place?”

 

"Luna, dear Luna," they said. "Your heart is your compass. Listen to it, and it will always guide you on your journey."

 

And armed with that advice, the two friends wandered deep into the forest.
