In a part of the book The Girl Who Drank the Moon, we read:
By the time Luna was five, her magic had doubled. But all the magic remained inside him, mixed with his skin, flesh and blood. It was in each of his cells. Fully static, full of preparation and without any pressure.

“It can’t go on like this,” said Gulrak Ghargharkanan. “The more magic he collects, the more magic he can erupt.” He smiled at the child and made him laugh. “You are listening to me.” Tried to look serious.

“You do not know,” Zan said. Maybe no magic will come out. “Nothing may be difficult for us.”

Aside from his hard work with abandoned children, he hated hard things, sad things, and multifaceted things. If he could, he would rather not think about them. They sat next to the girl and made bubbles together and magically colored each of them. The little girl ran after the bubbles, took them by the hand, and placed them on the buds of flowers, butterflies, and the leaves of the trees. Sometimes it even went into a bubble and rolled on the grass.
“There is so much beauty,” Zan said. “How can you think of anything else?”

“No one knows why he wants children. I do not know why he always insists on taking our youngest member. We can not easily ask him. No one has ever seen him. We want to be comfortable that we will never see him.

It turns out that there is. What a question! Take a look at the forest! It is very dangerous! Toxic fumes, wells, boiling volcanoes and thousands of other dangers are everywhere. Do you think this is a coincidence? Not! All this because of the witch, and if we do not do what she wants, you know what she does to us?

Everything you see is in the process of being made or destroyed or died or lived. “Everything is in a state of change.”
