Prologue: Lunar Soul

The Chinese believed that an old woman, Chang'e, lived on the moon. It was said that she and her husband were once immortals that lost their immortality due to their behavior. To achieve immortality once more, they had to take a special pill, but Chang'e became greedy and took too many, causing her to float up to the moon, where she would be stuck forever.

In Roman and Greek mythology, they believed that the Moon Goddess—Luna and Selene respectively—was paired with the God of the Sun. While he traveled through the day, she would take over the journey at night. She was described as a passionate goddess who took many lovers and represented the desire associated with the moon.

For the Aztecs, Tecciztecatl was the God associated with the moon. Though there wasn't much about him in their culture, he is also associated in Asian culture where he was known as the Moon or Jade Rabbit. He is what many people today refer to as the "man in the moon".

The Inuits believe that their Moon God, Anningan, raped his sister, the sun Goddess, and to this day he is still trying to chase her down; the reason why he follows her in the sky every day. The waxing and waning of the moon is explained to be Anningan chasing her until he grew hungry then disappeared to hunt for food to have the energy to chase her again.

The Irish have a different belief.

They believe that the moon is a calming presence and that if you were born when the moon was full, you'd have a fulfilling life.

Those of us who knew the truth knew better.

The Goddess Bendis came to Earth to test her children, taking on the appearance of an old woman. Rumors began to spread about her claiming she was witch and no one wanted to talk to her. An adventurous group of friends decided to pay the woman a visit only to tease her and call her names. As Bendis grew more frustrated with their antics, she came up with a punishment. She cursed them, a curse that caused them to transform into a foul beast when the moon was full.

I am the descendant of Kearney Fitzgerald, one of the four friends who were cursed, which meant I was cursed.

My behavior was tied to the lunar cycle. When the moon was full, I'd transform into a wolf and hunt for the Goddess, who was kind enough to allow me to shift whenever I pleased, but cruel enough to make it more painful when the moon waned.

That made me a lunar soul.

A/N: So many people were anxious for this to get started, so I thought I'd go ahead and post the Prologue. Don't get too excited, though. I probably won't post more until I finish posting Full Moon.

On a different note, I'd like to point out a few things. First, I made up the Irish belief about the moon. The others are real, I found them on the internet, but I made up the Irish part. In this story the Children of the Moon are from Ireland.

Which brings me up to my next point. In the following chapters I do use some Irish words. I apologize in advance to anyone of my readers who knows Irish; I got the words from google translation, so they might not be accurate. I apologize in advance, because I don't want to offend if I accidentally typed in a curse word.

Thirdly, both Bella and Renee, in this story, are OOC, which means Out of Character. Renee isn't the super nice super supportive and crazy mother we know her as and Bella...well, she's not the same plain ol' whiny pushover. She's got a backbone and a mean right hook; and she's not afraid to use it.

Last and foremost: THIS STORY HAS SLASH PAIRINGS! The overall story is Bellice, but there are three other slash(one slash, two femmeslash) couples in this story. If you don't like to see guys with guys or girls with girls, then don't read this. You definitely won't enjoy it if you're a homophobe.

Check out the awesome trailer for Lunar Soul. You get to take a peek into what this story holds. Thanks to Catushka for making it. Here is the link, just get rid of the parentheses: http(:/)/www(.)youtube(.)com(/)watch?v=GEjy9QShfQM

BIG thanks to my Beta, CeceAsh for being awesome and looking over this and helping me with the Original Characters' pictures. I'll post links to them on my profile shortly, so you can see who is who before they're introduced.

With that said, I give you all a big welcome to the story known as Lunar Soul. Ciao for now, my peoples. :D
