It's a castle unlike anything mankind has seen. True -- castles of all different shapes and sizes have littered throughout civilizations. Grand palaces covered in gold and kingdoms forbidden to even the common folk of their glorious empire.

But what makes this kingdom so special? If you look up, it's not the normal sky. Instead, the backdrop is

[A seven year old with very red hair, in a button down shirt, dress pants and... boots... is standing behind the lady. He's looking at Earth with wide, fearful red eyes. Where is he? W-where's his mother?]

AWWW~

[timelessmoon]

[ At first, Serenity moves so that she can shift to another part of the castle but she notices the tiny little boy, around Small Lady's age, standing and looking up at the Earth.

With a soft smile, she just turns and then kneels down so that she's more on his level. ]

Hello there, little one.

[bot_builder]

[He turns his attention to you, still fearful.] W-where am I? Who are you?

[He points up at Earth and grows panicky.] I l-live on that! Where am I?!

[timelessmoon]

My name is Serenity. As for where we are...

[ She motions to the gardens and the courtyard, before pointing up at the blue gem in the sky called the Earth. ]

... you are on the Moon.

[bot_builder]

[Stares at you wide-eyed.]

I'm pretty sure all this stuff isn't supposed to be on the moon. The stuff in school made it sound like the moon was just a rock.

[timelessmoon]

Is that right?

[ Leaning down, she moves to give him a light tap on the nose. ]

Would you like to see that the moon is more than a rock?

[bot_builder]

[Yeah, he's pretty much forgotten that he's scared. Don't worry, he'll remember later.]

[He frowns when you tap his nose.] Ok... What's up here, then?

[timelessmoon]

[ Serenity can only smile when she sees the frown. Children are so adorable. ] Well, we're in the Moon Castle right now. But, if we step out there's a large city to see.

[bot_builder]

[A large city? That sounds scary, especially without his mother nearby.]

Does the castle have a moat? Are there fish in it?

[timelessmoon]

[ Don't worry, Jack. Serenity will not let any harm come to you in this dream. ]

I believe I have something better than a moat. [ She smiles a knowing smile. ] Would you like to see?

[bot_builder]

[He doesn't trust you. >| He wants his mother! D:]

[But that does sound intriguing. VERY WELL he will see this thing.] Ok... What is it?

[timelessmoon]

[ When he gives his consent, Serenity stands up from kneeling to his height and then motions him to follow her by holding out her hand if he'd like to take it. ]

It would spoil the surprise if I told you.

[bot_builder]

[He follows you, but doesn't take your hand. Suspicious child is suspicious.]

Is it a good surprise?

[timelessmoon]

Of course! [ She winks. ] I would never want to give bad surprises.

Sorry I hiatus'd right in the middle of everything ^_^"

[bot_builder]

Alright... [He is still clearly suspicious.]
