Author's note (sorry! But please read the first bit! thank you!)

Hello everyone!

阴月于亮夜 [cloudy moon amidst bright sky] here!

This profile picture is not my art! Credits to the artist! If you might know the artist please go support them, and if you (the artist) have any complaints about my using of your art, please notify or tell me immediately! I will try to fix my mistake! Thank you!

I am a short story writer wanting to rant out feelings and try new things on Mangatoon!

Hopefully there will be no expectations for the stories I write (I don't like expectations 555).

I am always open to constructive criticism and suggestions in the comments section!

Updating dates may be harder to work with, so please be patient! Thank you!

My Chinese is not all that good so please tell me if I ever get anything wrong or mis-explain anything!

(even though I do not write in Chinese, I can speak, read and understand somewhat)

If there are any complaints about what I write please tell me in the comments section!

I always try to keep my works friendly and do not intend any hate to be directed to certain readers.

All of my works will contain an Author's note as the first chapter, so I will try to keep the important information in front so you all can skip the rest of the Author's note!

This story is about a lonely queen who falls in love but will need to make difficult choices and a maid who will need to endure many things.

This story is written in third person and is very short (only about a few chapters).

This is also my first time writing on a site so please don't mind that!

Since I will need quite a few words for only one chapter, how about I tell all of you some things about myself (all that comes after you may skip)?

My stage name is 阴月于亮夜, which directly translates to: cloudy/dark moon amidst/in a/the bright (night) sky

(ehehe) There are a lot of translations for one word (in Chinese) because it will depend on how you would want to look at it.

It took me a lot of time to think up this name (555) because if I were to pick a stage name that connects to what I liked now, if I ever 'grew out' of it, I would be stuck with a name connected to what I liked then! (ehhhh)

Currently I enjoy reading Danmei (耽美), listening to Vocaloid, playing badminton, and average hobbies like reading, writing, Netflix, piano, drawing and lowering my friends' self-esteem.

There are many other things I would like to say but instead I will spam because I have nothing else to write. . .

对不起，得罪了。 。 。555

Maybe I might copy and paste a story written from my elementary years and see how that works out (oh no)?

The legend of Turtle Island:

Long long ago, an island was formed in Loch ness lake, and was inhabited by the species of colorful turtles. One day they found a mythical and mysterious blue - white stone. It was the magic stone of wisdom (as they called it), and the colorful turtles felt some kind of magical aura from it. So they made a ritual circle out of fuzzy white stuff around a tree they called the summoning tree and lined the circle with candles that had been washed up shore. Before leaving, the Stone of Wisdom suddenly lit up with a blue - white glow, and the ritual spells appeared on its surface while dimming, so the turtles gathered around the ritual circle. They chanted the ritual spell shone on the Stone of Wisdom:

Ew nommus eht lacitsym onibla elt rut!

Suddenly, the ritual circle around the tree of summoning glowed pure white, atop the tree lay a pure albino turtle, with the Stone of Wisdom on top of its back. “Thank you for freeing me, kind - hearted colorful turtles. I am the Grand Master Turtle, the turtle that controls luck, wishes, and most mystical animals. Since you have freed me from the stone, I will bestow on you a gift.”

Then the Grand Master Turtle motioned towards the coconut tree that grew beside the summoning tree. A silver ring appeared on one of the leaves. “Each night, whenever a full moon rises in the month of July, one of these rings will appear on a leaf of this coconut tree. Every time this happens, a colorful turtle will be chosen and its wish will be granted; but now, I have to leave, however I will come back and visit sometimes,” Just like that, the Grand Master Turtle disappeared, leaving the ring and the colorful turtles.

As far as we know, they are still wishing to this day.

The legend of Loch Ness lake:

Since you already know the legend of Turtle Island, I will now tell you the legend of the lake it resides in.

Once upon a time, there was a Loch Ness monster.

It wasn’t exactly a ‘mean and scary’ monster, but it would be hostile to people that had attacked it. It lived in a small lake called Lake Scary (ironic huh?). One day, a young scuba diver went diving in Lake Scary and got lost. The Loch ness monster then found the scuba diver’s helmet and put it on its tail for decoration (would you blame it?).

When it emerged later that day, a wizard that was passing by saw the helmet on the Loch ness monster’s tail and thought that it had eaten the scuba diver, so the wizard attacked the Loch ness monster thinking he was doing the right thing. The Loch ness monster was scared and attacked the wizard trying to defend itself. The wizard took this as a threat and cast a spell on it, freezing it in a glacier.

2 thousand years later, the ice had melted (thanks to global warming) into a lake, now called Loch ness Lake, after the monster.

A hundred years later, some of the water had evaporated, or flowed downstream towards the ocean. Some land then peaked out and Turtle Island was created. After the Grand Master Turtle visited, it saw the lonely Loch ness monster, and gave it some friends.

Out of the air dropped 3 whales of the Indigo whale species down to join. Then out of the water grew the mystical healing Tube Plants that could heal and/or fix any problems you had, physically or in life. The colorful Turtles helped to care for these plants, and the Grand Master Turtle promised to give the turtles a present the next time it visited.

By now, most humans had heard about Loch ness Lake and the magical wish ring tree that resided on Turtle Island. Hence being the humans they are, they tried to obtain that ring by attacking the turtles. The Loch ness monster and Indigo whales tried to protect them, but failed. When the Grand Master Turtle visited again, it cast a spell around turtle island, obscuring it in a pale white mist.

The GMT then called upon the secret white gem fish to protect Loch ness Lake, and allow no humans to ever find this place.

We have been lucky enough to see enough of it to build a replica and write a legend about it, but as far as we know, nobody has been able to find Loch ness Lake ever since --- or have they?

sorry sorry! This story was written by my friends and I back then so please excuse the spelling and grammar mistakes!

If you all had read up to this, thank you thank you! The actual story will start now!
