The Eastern Wastes were not dead. They just slept differently. Ash trees towered upside down, roots stretching into the sky like the bones of giants. The soil pulsed faintly with violet veins. The wind whispered not in gusts but in names, some of them familiar, some of them hers.

Aria led the small company across the ridge: Orion, Theron, Calder, and two scouts from Nightwind. None spoke much. The Wastes had a way of making even the boldest wolf quiet.

At the edge of a black plateau stood the

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 302 — When Truth Learns to Choose

    The witness did not move. That was the problem. It hovered behind Liora like a held thought, no shape, no sound, no pressure. Just presence.Alignment so precise it made the air feel slightly embarrassed to exist incorrectly. Astrael swallowed. “It’s… still here.”Miren nodded slowly. “It’s not leaving because nothing told it to.”Liora whispered, “It’s watching them.”High above, the coalition felt it too. Not as threat. Not as anomaly. As attention. ‘Observer fixation detected,’ a presence reported.‘It is not consuming resources,’ another added. ‘It is not destabilizing causality.’The Audit spoke carefully. ‘Then why does the system register risk?’No one answered immediately. Because risk, for once, was not measurable. On the ground, a man edged closer to Liora. “Is it… safe?”Liora hesitated. “I don’t think it knows what that means yet.”The witness shifted, minutely. Not toward the man. Toward the question. Miren inhaled sharply. “Did you see that?”Astrael nodded. “It responde

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 301 — The Shape of a Witness

    The coalition did not panic. That was mistake number one. ‘Observation confirms persistence,’ a presence reported. ‘Witness imprint remains active across populations.’‘Quantify,’ the Audit ordered.‘Non-verbal recognition events increasing. Memory coherence rising without centralized transmission.’Silence. Then, colder: ‘Then we adjust the variable.’Another presence hesitated. ‘You mean’‘Not suppression,’ the Audit said. ‘Reframing.’On the ground, Astrael felt the pressure shift before the sky changed. “Something’s wrong,” he muttered.Miren frowned. “They’ve been quiet too long.”Liora tilted her head. “It feels… softer.”That scared Astrael more than force ever had. “Nothing about them is soft.”People began murmuring, not in fear, but confusion. A woman said, “Did anyone else just… remember it differently?”A man shook his head. “Remember what?”“The selections,” she said slowly. “They feel less sharp. Like, like accidents.”Miren stiffened. “No. No, that’s not right.”Ilyse s

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 300 — The World After Her Voice

    The world did not end when Lyra vanished. That was the first betrayal. “It’s still here,” someone whispered.Astrael knelt in the churned earth, arms locked around Liora as she screamed herself hoarse. “She said, she said it wouldn’t be quiet.”Miren stood frozen, staring at the sky as if it might give Lyra back if she stared hard enough. “She anchored it,” she said. “She didn’t just speak. She… left residue.”Ilyse swallowed. “Residue of what?”Miren turned slowly. “Truth.”The sky above them was whole again. No seams. No lights. No targeting lines. The coalition had withdrawn as if nothing had happened.And that terrified everyone. “They’re gone,” a man said shakily.“No,” the boy replied. “They’re listening.”Liora lifted her head, eyes swollen, voice raw. “They took her.”Astrael tightened his grip. “They tried.”Liora pulled away, shaking. “Then where is she?”No one answered. The silence pressed in, not empty, but expectant. The first change was subtle. A woman in the crowd gasp

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 299 — The Truth That Costs Lives

    Lyra spoke. Not loudly. Not theatrically. She spoke accurately. “You choose children,”she said, voice carrying without force. “You choose bonds. You choose connection points because they generate compliance with minimal resistance.”The sky shuddered. A seam snapped shut, then three more tore open elsewhere. Someone screamed. Astrael roared, “Lyra !”She didn’t stop. “You call it stability,”Lyra continued, eyes locked on the fractured heavens. “But what you enforce is silence. You punish coordination. You erase precedent. You freeze people mid-breath and call it mercy.”The Audit’s voice cut in, sharp. ‘Cease ’Lyra raised her hand. “No,” she said. “I’m done ceasing.”The air thickened. Pressure spiked. Miren screamed, “They’re escalating, right now!”A body locked mid-fall. Another collapsed, breath stolen by relevance loss. Liora sobbed, “Mom, please, people are getting hurt!”Lyra flinched, but kept speaking. “You tell yourselves you’re not gods,”she said, voice breaking and bur

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 298 — Selection Becomes a Flood

    Lyra returned into screaming. Not one voice. Hundreds. The sky above the movement was no longer choosing carefully.Seams tore open everywhere, thin, precise lines snapping into place like targeting reticles. Not one selection. Dozens.Astrael saw her first. “LYRA !”Liora turned, eyes wild. “Mom!”Lyra barely had time to catch her daughter before another scream cut through the air. Someone dropped to their knees, space locking around them mid-motion.Another froze mid-breath. Another simply… vanished from relevance, their outline blurring as reality deprioritized them. Miren shouted, “They’re not isolating anymore, this is mass judgment!”The Audit’s voice rolled across the sky, no longer singular, chorused.‘Cascade enforcement initiated.’‘Deviation saturation exceeded.’‘Selection expanded to preserve stability.’Lyra spun in place, fury igniting. “This is punishment!”‘This is triage,’ the Audit replied coldly.Ilyse screamed, “You promised!”‘Promises adapt,’ came the answer. ‘S

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 297 — The Space They Couldn’t Classify

    Lyra woke to the sound of nothing agreeing with her. She inhaled. The breath was allowed. She exhaled. The release was acknowledged.That was all. “No walls,” she said hoarsely. “No pain. No silence.”Her voice didn’t echo. It didn’t vanish either. It simply… completed. “So this is isolation,” Lyra murmured. “You finally learned subtlety.”‘Incorrect,’ a voice replied.Lyra froze. “Audit.”‘Incorrect,’ the voice repeated. Her pulse kicked. “Elyndra?”‘Also incorrect.’Lyra straightened slowly. “Then identify yourself.”A pausem measured, not hesitant. ‘Classification unavailable.’Lyra laughed once, sharp. “That’s new.”‘It is unacceptable,’ the voice replied calmly.Elsewhere, far beyond Lyra’s reach, the coalition fractured into noise.‘Isolation parameters undefined.’‘Containment schema incomplete.’‘Subject location unresolved.’The Audit spoke last. ‘Report.’A secondary presence responded, unusually strained. ‘The subject has not been placed within a governed domain.’Silence.
