Chapter 788: Two Mysterious Figures at the Red CarpetThe moment the sleek black limousine pulled up at the edge of the red carpet, the air around ArtReam Hall shifted. It wasn't the same electric buzz of excitement that had accompanied the arrival of other artists. This time, it felt heavier, more intense-almost like a collective breath was being held in anticipation. Everyone knew who was about to step out. The mystery surrounding their identities only heightened the tension, and as the door slowly swung open, a hush fell over the crowd.
Out stepped Moonlight, his presence commanding attention immediately. He was dressed in an elegant, flowing kimono that swirled around his tall, lean figure. The fabric was a striking combination of black and deep red, intricately patterned with subtle designs that shimmered under the intense glow of the flashing cameras. The lower half of his face was concealed by a matching mask that extended down his neck, blending seamlessly into the high collar of his kimono. His silver hair, styled in a high bun with a few braids, gave him an almost ethereal look, while his red eyes peered out from behind the mask, revealing nothing yet captivating everyone.
Next to him was Tsukuyomi, dressed in a breathtaking kimono of her own. Her outfit was a stunning blend of black and white, a perfect complement to her striking appearance. The kimono flowed elegantly around her as she stepped onto the carpet, the black and white fabric mirroring the contrast in her long hair. Her mask, which concealed the lower half of her face like her brother's, only enhanced the mystical aura she projected. She looked like a figure from an ancient myth—a fairy goddess who had stepped out of a dream and onto the red carpet.
While it wasn't uncommon to see artists wearing kimonos at the Sapphire Awards-the culture of Sakura Abode blended seamlessly the heritage of the two founding clans-it was rare to see it done with such mystery and elegance. Moonlight and Tsukuyomi, with their masked identities and graceful, almost otherworldly presence, drew attention like no other artists that night.
The first camera flash went off the second Moonlight's foot touched the carpet. And then another. And another. In a matter of moments, the quiet anticipation exploded into a frenzy of camera shutters and flashing lights. It was as if the entire universe had descended onto the red carpet, each click of a camera capturing the mystery and allure of these two masked figures.
"Moonlight! Over here!" one photographer shouted, his voice barely audible over the symphony of camera clicks. "Tsukuyomi! Look this way!"
The barrage of flashes was relentless. Every photographer, from seasoned professionals to eager newcomers, seemed desperate to capture the perfect shot of the elusive pair. Moonlight and Tsukuyomi, unfazed by the attention, moved with practiced grace. They paused in front of the wall adorned with Sapphire Awards logos, striking poses that sent the crowd into a frenzy. The cameras were nearly blinding, the sheer volume of flashes turning the early evening into a storm of white light.
Moonlight's gaze remained steady, his red eyes scanning the crowd from behind his mask. The black and red kimono added to his enigmatic air, giving him the appearance of someone who had stepped out of another world-someone unreachable, untouchable, yet magnetic. Beside him, Tsukuyomi mirrored his poise. Her black and white kimono, contrasting against the sea of color around them, made her look like a mythical figure, almost as if she were floating above the chaos of the red carpet. Together, they were a visual symphony of grace and mystery.
Photographers, emboldened by the duo's calm demeanor, shouted even louder. "Moonlight, here!"
"Tsukuyomi, this way!""Look to the left!"
The shouting blended into a chaotic chorus, with every camera angle demanding their attention. Moonlight and Tsukuyomi obliged, turning slowly, elegantly, so that every side of them could be captured. It felt as though time had slowed, the two of them moving with deliberate precision, allowing the cameras to feast on every inch of their presence.
As they posed, the fervor from the crowd intensified. Fans from behind the barricades screamed their names, holding up signs and waving frantically in the hopes of catching even the briefest glance from their idols. For a moment, it seemed as though Moonlight's red eyes did sweep over them, though the mask made it difficult to tell. The mere possibility sent ripples of excitement through the crowd.
Tsukuyomi, graceful as ever, gave a slight nod toward the photographers, her movements subtle yet impactful. Her kimono fluttered slightly as she shifted, the intricate patterns woven into the fabric catching the light and creating a dazzling effect. She seemed almost otherworldly, as though she had been summoned from another realm to grace the red carpet with her presence.
The photographers didn't miss a beat, capturing every turn, every movement. The flashes intensified, and the calls from the press became even more insistent. This level of enthusiasm wasn't uncommon for the Sapphire Awards, but tonight, it was different. The mystery surrounding Moonlight and Tsukuyomi, the way they presented themselves, their hidden identities—it all made them the center of attention in a way that few artists could command.
As the duo continued to pose, the time stretched on. Most artists typically paused for a brief moment before moving down the carpet, but Moonlight and Tsukuyomi's magnetism made it impossible for the photographers to let them leave. The flashes of cameras became more rapid, and the shouts from reporters more urgent. Everyone wanted more of them-more photos, more moments, more glimpses into the enigma that they were.
Even though it was customary for artists to spend only a few minutes in front of the wall of photographers, Moonlight and Tsukuyomi lingered longer than anyone else. It wasn't by their own choice-the enthusiasm from the press simply wouldn't allow them to leave. Every time they took a step forward, more calls came, more flashes lit up the sky, and the photographers clamored for one more pose, one more look.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity under the blinding lights, Moonlight exchanged a glance with Tsukuyomi. With a subtle nod, the two of them began to move further down the carpet, much to the dismay of the photographers, who still called their names in desperate pleas for one more shot.
The crowd behind the barricades roared with excitement as Moonlight and Tsukuyomi passed them, waving politely but keeping their cool, composed aura intact. The sea of fans erupted into chants of their names, echoing down the carpet as they approached the next section of
Media coverage.
The journalists, positioned strategically along the carpet, had been waiting for this moment. While Moonlight and Tsukuyomi's visuals had dominated the cameras, the media was eager to get a word from the elusive pair. Though they rarely gave interviews, tonight, the stakes were high, and everyone wanted to be the one to secure the coveted soundbite.
As they approached the media section, the reporters held their microphones at the ready. StarTune TV, one of the most popular music channels, had positioned their lead journalist, Clara Llanez, at the front of the line, hoping to be the first to catch Moonlight and Tsukuyomi
For an interview.
Clara, who had been eagerly following their progress down the red carpet, straightened as they approached. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she leaned forward slightly, microphone in hand.
"Moonlight! Tsukuyomi!" she called out, her voice loud enough to be heard over the clamor of the crowd but warm enough to convey respect. "Can we have a quick word?" Moonlight and Tsukuyomi paused, turning toward Clara. The camera focused in on their masked faces, capturing every detail as they moved toward the microphone. The energy around them buzzed with anticipation-everyone wanted to hear what the mysterious duo would say.
The cameras zoomed in closer, capturing the moment as Moonlight and Tsukuyomi prepared to speak, their voices about to break through the mystery that surrounded them.
