Natural speed, please. If I used any unsuitable word, please help me fix it with some explanation in the comment.

I got her back from Death. After nearly a month, she suddenly disappeared. I was about to run into the forest to search for her but she was right there, shining like the sunrise, flourishing and peaceful. She was standing, feeling her first sunlight after the coma, her eyelids closed, seemed like she was meditating. I was paralyzed because of her beauty and the feel of peace she brought to me. There was not thing at her made me think that she was a monster. She opened her eyes, they were amber and said:
- You saved my life, let me appreciate you. Tell me your desire, I will accomplish it for you.
I said without spending any second thinking:
- I want you.
Her eyes opened bigger and I immediately realized how stupid thing I had just talked. I tried to make it right:
- I mean I want you to stay here until when I can find out what I want. I hardly think about anything except herbs and healing method.
She just smiled and whispered next to my ear: “ As you wish.”

Other monsters only dared to mention her as “ The Cold ”. It the feeling they got when she got close toward them. I didn’t feel that. She laughed out loud when I talked that to her. Then I asked for her name but she just gave me her best charming smile at whispered: “ Call me as you wish.” So I call her Luna. I explained that because I felt peaceful be with her and she was always calm, tender like the moon. She stayed quiet, seemed like she thought deeply about it. Watching that, I suddenly got the thought that she might be lonely so much. Her own father wanted her dead so that his next child with Luna’s stepmother will be able to seize the throne, other monsters kept trying run away from her. Maybe she and I were suffering the same wound – the lacking family’s warmth. I wished I could cure not only her body wounds but her heart. I told that to her as my best desire. Time was frozen, I hardly could breathe, waited for her answer: “ As you wish.”

Other monsters only dared to mention her as “The Cold.” It was the feeling they got when she got close to them. But I didn’t feel that. She laughed out loud when I told her that. Then I asked for her name but she just gave me her most charming smile and whispered: “Call me whatever you wish.” So I called her Luna. I told her that I thought of that name because I felt peaceful being with her. And she was always calm and tender like the moon. She stayed quiet, seeming to think deeply about it. Watching her, I suddenly got the feeling that she might be very lonely. Her own father wanted her dead so that his next child with Luna’s stepmother would be able to seize the throne.

I made my suggested changes (as seen in the two comments above) and recorded it that way. Hope that helps!
