The scream didn’t end. It tore through the cavern like a blade, shaking the air until the walls bled molten light. Adrien staggered, clamping his hands over his ears, but it didn’t help.

The sound wasn’t just in the air, it was inside him, inside his bones, scraping his soul raw. Sera dropped to her knees, her fire flickering under the weight of it.

Her hands pressed to the ground as cracks spiderwebbed outward from where she knelt, molten veins splitting open and vomiting fire. She forced her head up, eyes streaming with tears as she locked on the cocoon.

Liora hung there, her body writhing, suspended, her small hands thrashing against threads of shadow that held her tighter with every movement.

From the cracks in the cocoon poured a brilliance that was hers, golden and pure. But the shadows were stronger. They swallowed the light in swaths of black until only thin threads of gold remained.

And then it stepped out of her. Not leaving her, not yet, but bleeding from her like smoke fro

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 175 — The Fall Between Worlds

    There was no ground, no sky, only the endless descent. Jason plunged through a corridor of light and shadow, every breath a knife of air that wasn’t air.The void wasn’t empty; it moved, coiling around him like smoke that remembered shapes. Each twist of color formed a memory: Aria laughing beneath the glass trees, Aria dying, Aria whispering don’t look.Every image shattered as he passed through it. You made us, whispered the wind. Now watch what we become.He tried to reach for one of the fragments, her hand, her smile, her voice, but his fingers passed through. When he looked at his hand, it was fading, stretching into a thousand ghost-limbs, each reaching toward a different reflection.Gravity became suggestion; down lost meaning. The fall turned sideways, then inward. He screamed once, and the sound came back as a thousand different tones of his own voice, echoing through every reality he’d touched.Somewhere far below, or above, something hummed. The rhythm felt like a heartbeat

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 252 - chains

    The chains came like a storm of night. They tore through the air in black arcs, whistling with a sound that made the bones ache.Each link glowed faintly from within, as though some furious heart beat inside the metal itself, and wherever they struck, the stone hissed and dissolved into smoke.Adrien pulled Sera down behind a jut of rock just as the first volley struck. The ledge above them exploded in a shower of shards. Dust choked the air, mixing with the faint copper scent of blood.Lightning flared from Adrien’s hands in a desperate weave, forming a shield of blue energy that wrapped around them in a half-sphere.The chains slammed into it, sparking violently, and the impact sent tremors up his arms. He gritted his teeth and held the barrier firm. But every strike dimmed the light a little more.Sera crouched beside him, the silver sphere pressed to her chest. Her knuckles were white; the veins in her arms glowed faintly with moonlight, as if her own blood had begun to shimmer.“

    Sera’s fingernails shredded as she clung to the jagged lip of the splintered rock. The slab tilted another inch, stones grinding loose and rattling into the black chasm.The air howled upward from the abyss, smelling of iron and burnt ozone. Every breath Sera took felt like swallowing knives. She risked a glance down.The void churned like a whirlpool of midnight. Hands, long, thin, and slick as oil, rose out of it by the dozen, their fingers curling in slow, hungry gestures. They didn’t claw. They waited.And every one of those black hands was fixed on the white-silver sphere clutched against her heart. “Give it to me…” the abyss whispered, its voice brushing her ear like a breath.“The key belongs in the lock…”The rock beneath her cracked again. One more heartbeat and it would tear free completely. Adrien crouched on the far edge of the gap.His arm was outstretched, the blue lightning around his wrist arcing wildly as the crumbling ground refused to hold him steady. “Sera!” His vo

    Sera’s fingertips brushed the edge of the white-silver sphere, and the darkness beneath it came alive. It was not a void. It was a mouth.A ring of jagged obsidian teeth snapped shut where her hand had been a heartbeat earlier. She jerked back, scraping her palm and smearing blood across the air as she fell to one knee.The white-silver sphere trembled in place, flickering like a candle in a storm. Beneath it, the new darkness spoke again. Its voice was not a sound but a pressure, pushing into bone and thought.“Child of moon-fire, every cage needs a lock. Break the lock… and the cage breaks with it.”The black threads lashed out. One coiled around Sera’s ankle and yanked her off the rising column of roots. She slammed hard against the broken stone platform below, knocking the breath from her lungs.The pull toward the hollow core grew stronger, like the whole world was being drained down a whirlpool. Fragments of rock tumbled past her into the crack.Screams, shadow-spawn and human a

    The shadow-cord struck for Sera’s chest like a living spear. She twisted sideways at the last possible instant.The black-violet tendril ripped across her ribs instead of piercing her heart.Pain flared white-hot and the smell of burned flesh filled her nostrils as she rolled away and came up on one knee. Her silver light wavered but did not die. She forced her breath steady.If it roots in me, there’s no pulling it out. I can’t let it touch my heart. The Dominion laughed through Liora’s lips, a sound layered and terrible. “Even your defiance tastes like fuel. Every strike you resist makes my roots deeper.”Adrien was still bound by three cords. One of them had crawled up the side of his neck to his jaw. A bruise-colored vein glowed beneath his skin.His fists clenched, blue sparks guttering between his fingers as he fought not to let it reach his mind. “Sera” he rasped, “cut… it… now…”Zayn, still on his fragment of rock, bled from one ear but kept up a rasped chant. His free hand sk

    The instant the second tether sprouted from Adrien’s chest, the air itself seemed to scream. A deep, subsonic wail reverberated through the shattered realm, shaking every fragment of floating land.The golem faltered for a moment as fissures opened across its body. Cracks lanced through the distant spire as if the tether that anchored the realms had been disturbed. Sera froze.Her heart thundered so hard it hurt to breathe. “No…” she whispered.“I won’t lose him. I can’t.”The black-violet cord linking Adrien to the spire pulsed like a heartbeat. Every pulse dimmed the silver light in his eyes and made the shadows around Liora’s form grow denser.Adrien’s teeth were clenched. His body arched against the dark tendrils that coiled up his arms and around his throat. Blue sparks flared briefly from his palms as if his own power was fighting back, but the sparks guttered each time the tether throbbed.“Get… back…!” he gasped at Sera.“It’s—pulling—me—inside—”Sera ignored him and charged,
