The moon blinked. That was the only way Aria could describe it. A ripple across the sky, like the heavens had inhaled and forgotten to exhale. And then the whisper followed. A new voice. Softer than the others.

Sadder. “You loved me once.”

“My Queen,” Orion said, striding into the throne chamber, “the northern sentries report a shiver in the Veil.”

“A shiver?”

“A pulse of soul-light. Old magic. Not Vaelith’s.”

Theron joined them, tossing a weathered scroll onto the table. “And this was found near the mountain pass. No one saw who left it.”

Aria unrolled it slowly. It was a map, the First Lands, circled in red. And beneath it, a message written in a hand she hadn’t seen since she was eighteen: “Meet me where you said goodbye.”

Her heart dropped. Because only one man knew that phrase. And he was dead. Liora screamed that night. Her body trembled with moonfire, her small hands clutching at invisible threads. Aria rushed into her room as Myra struggled to hold the girl down.

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 81 – The Flesh Door Opens

    Back to the room beneath the Luna throne, Back to the door of living flesh, Back to the beginning of the real war, Aria waited there, hands trembling despite herself, No magic pulsed here. No air moved. It felt like standing inside a body, one too ancient and vast to understand.When Liora entered, the door responded instantly, A heartbeat echoed across the walls.Ba-dumThe door rippled. Ba-dum.The veins glowed faintly beneath the skin, Sera and Auren stood guard outside, refusing to follow, They’d faced gods, They’d faced Kael. But this? This was something else, Aria reached out, palm hovering near the surface. “Do you feel that?” she asked.Liora nodded. “It’s not asking to be opened.”Aria swallowed. “It’s inviting you.”“Because it knows I will,” Liora whispered.And she did, With a single touch, the skin peeled back like petals, revealing a corridor of pure darkness, and whispers, The walls pulsed with forgotten voices, Each step echoed not with sound but with memories that were

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 80 – The Price of the Flame

    The skies were quiet, For the first time in what felt like lifetimes, Nightwind Citadel stood beneath an unbroken sky. No sigils. No mirror storm. No blood-red moon, Just wind, Just light, Just… silence.Liora stood alone at the edge of the eastern ramparts, the Hollow Crown cradled in her arms like a sleeping child. It no longer glowed. It no longer whispered. But she knew better. “Power doesn’t sleep,” Aria had once said. “It waits.”Kael was gone, Not defeated, Not banished. Gone.Turned to light. Freed from madness, And perhaps, finally, from guilt, His final words echoed in her memory: “I didn’t know how to love you… so I destroyed you instead.”Liora didn’t cry, She had no tears left. But she did sit, And she did breathe, And she let herself feel the weight of survival, Inside the Citadel, the survivors gathered, Auren and Sera oversaw rebuilding.Altheya and Aria sealed the remaining mirror gateways, The people whispered her name like a lullaby now, not out of fear, but awe, Th

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 79 – The Fracture Between Us

    Reality bent, Not broke. Bent, like a blade forced too far without snapping. Liora-Nimara-stood within the remains of Nightwind’s sky, her knees buckling under Kael’s grip on her soul.The crown on her head was cracked now, a thin fracture glowing red across its bone-white rim. She tasted ash, And underneath it all A memory.A whisper from when Kael was still himself. “If it comes down to you or me, I’ll kneel first.”She looked into his eyes now, and saw a liar.Kael’s final form towered, his cloak woven from broken oaths, eyes flickering with false stars. He smiled like a wolf taught to speak in riddles. “You were always meant to rise,” he said. “But not without me.”“You chose this,” Liora spat, her voice crackling with ancient fire.“I chose truth. The gods lied. The packs lied. You lied.”She summoned flame in both palms. “No. I survived them. There’s a difference.”Kael struck first, A wave of mirror-light swept the sky, each ripple rewriting part of the land. Hills became bone.

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 78 – The Throne That Bleeds Light

    The Hollow Crown sat in her hands like a living thing, It pulsed not with heat or cold, but with intention. It wanted to be worn. Not just by anyone but by her, Liora… or Nimara?She wasn’t sure anymore, All she knew was this: the moment she placed it on her head, the world would change Forever.The Council was in chaos, Some begged her to destroy the crown. Others swore loyalty before she’d even made her choice The lines were clear now: Liora’s world vs. Nimara’s truth.And Liora stood in between blazing with both, Altheya looked weary. “If you wear it, the bond completes. You stop being the anchor of the Hollow Flame, and become the source. There’ll be no going back.”Sera crossed her arms. “And if she doesn’t?”Aria said softly, “Kael takes it instead. Through the Mirror Woman or whatever echo he’s become. And then he becomes the end.”Auren met Liora’s gaze. “I’m with you. No matter who you become. Just… don’t forget who you were.”Liora looked at them all, then whispered: “I neve

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 77 – The Crown Beneath the Dust

    They arrived at the southern ruin before dawn, The old world still breathed here not in life, but in memory. Pillars cracked by centuries leaned together like lovers in grief.Stone arches bore runes that had not been uttered aloud in thousands of years. Even the air was different, heavier, as though time itself resisted intrusion.Liora stood at the edge of the ruins, staring into the broken temple, Her sigil pulsed under her skin, Auren stepped beside her. “You okay?”She didn’t answer, Because her body was humming, The crown was near, And it was calling her name, The ruin's staircase had collapsed in several places, forcing them to descend using threads of moonlight Liora bent into steps with a flick of her fingers. Aria followed cautiously.Sera brought up the rear, blades drawn, still not fully trusting what Liora had become, They reached the inner sanctum. Black stone. Silver dust.And at its center: an altar of ribs, Upon it sat a crown unlike anything forged by mortal hands. N

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 76 – The Crown of What Comes After

    They watched her like she was a stranger, Sera with narrowed eyes, Auren with heartbreak blooming behind his concern, Theron didn’t even speak, Because how do you speak to someone who just returned from the birthplace of gods… looking like one?The room stank of smoke and dying magic. The ritual candles had melted into the floor, leaving burn marks in the shapes of ancient sigils.The air shimmered faintly around Liora-no, around the woman who had returned. She was taller somehow, though she hadn’t grown. Her skin still bore her scars, but they gleamed faintly, like they’d been carved into place rather than left behind.Only Aria met her eyes without flinching, And it was Aria who spoke first. “Tell them what you saw.”Liora’s voice echoed faintly when she answered, “I saw my beginning. And the world’s end.”They sat around the high council table. Not just Nightwind’s pack leaders, but envoys from neighboring clans, the last surviving members of the Seer Order, and two Blood Pact gene
