The Starcourt had not been opened in over three centuries. Its gates were carved from frozen light. Its spires hung in a sky that didn’t obey gravity, only memory. It floated above time, connected to nothing, until Liora opened it. And now, it pulsed with ancient breath. Welcoming her home.

She stepped through the rift alone. The wind inside wasn’t cold. It wasn’t warm. It was simply expectant. Waiting. The ground beneath her feet shimmered with constellations, each step a memory of those who ruled before. Then a voice rose from nowhere and everywhere.

Heir of Serenya. Daughter of Night. Are you here to claim what was denied?

Liora raised her chin. “I’m here to stop what was stolen.”

Then you must stand trial not of blood… but of will. Are you moon… or shadow?

The court changed. She now stood in a circular chamber, walls flickering with images of her mother, her father, even Kaelen. At the center: a mirror. Black. Motionless. Until she stepped closer. Then it showed her, not as she wa

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 68 – The Fire Beneath the Crown

    Falling, Not through space, But through memory, Liora plummeted, weightless and burning, as the god’s voice thundered around her. Time dissolved. Her flame dimmed. Her mind blurred, This wasn’t death, It was unmaking.She landed hard, But not on stone or soil, She fell into herself A cavernous realm lit by blood-colored stars, veins of fire curling through impossible skies, She stood in the Ash Crown’s heart. The god itself pulsed in the distance, immense, sprawling, unformed.Not a creature, A force, A thought, An ancient will that once birthed flame and ruin in the same breath, And it was aware of her. “You took my gift and spat on it.”Liora’s voice cracked. “You used Kael. You twisted fate.”“I offered evolution. He accepted. Now, you will take his place.”“No,” she said. “I choose my own fire.”“Your fire is mine.”The god surged, And suddenly, Liora saw it all.Visions erupted again: The first werewolf, torn from flame and shadow, The Flame Oracle’s blood pact with a dying star.

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 67 – The Cage That Looks Like Freedom

    Darkness, But not cold Not cruel, Liora floated in a space between worlds. Her breath came easily. Her wounds were gone. Even the soul-hinge pain had dulled. Yet, She felt wrong. Untethered. Whole, but hollow, Then she opened her eyes.She was in a garden, Not the mirror one. A real place but twisted, Ash trees with blood-colored blossoms,Glass flowers humming with heat, The air was thick with memory. She recognized the scent.Kael’s cologne. The wolfwood incense from her old chambers. This was a prison of comfort, And he was already waiting Sitting beneath a glowing tree, legs crossed, wine in hand like they were old friends. “Welcome home,” Kael said.Liora didn’t move. “I’m not yours,” she said flatly.Kael smiled. “You keep saying that. But you’re here.”“You took me.”“I gave you a choice.”Her voice rose. “You ripped me away from everything!”“No. I reminded you who you were before they rewrote your fire to serve their war.”He stood, walking slowly toward her “I didn’t bring yo

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 66 – The One Who Should Have Stayed Dead

    The sky screamed. The rift widened above the shrine, swirling with stars that didn’t belong to this world. Time seemed to ripple backward and forward all at once, And dangling from the seven-armed god’s clawed hand- Kael.Whole. Smirking. And glowing faintly with that same strange ash-light that had marked the false Aria’s followers, Liora’s stomach twisted, It couldn’t be him, But it was, Sera stepped in front of her, blade drawn. “He died. I saw him fall.”Altheya’s voice trembled. “He did. But something brought him back.”Auren’s jaw clenched. “No. Something used him.”The god’s voice rippled across dimensions. “The hinge has been tested. The flame has chosen, Now the broken one shall return… as my vessel.”It dropped Kael, But he didn’t fall, He floated, His eyes opened, They were white, Void, Unrecognizable, And yet, When they met Liora’s, A flicker of the old Kael was there, Mocking. Knowing, Still dangerous. He landed softly, ash curling at his feet.“Hello, little flame,” Kael

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 65 – The World That Shouldn’t Be

    The mirror closed behind her Liora blinked, Sunlight kissed her skin. Warm. Real, She stood barefoot in soft grass, the air thick with lavender and promise, Birdsong. A brook. Distant laughter, No fire. No war. No scream in her bones Just peace, She looked down, Her hands, clean. No sigils. No burn marks.A child ran through the garden ahead. Small, laughing, glowing with joy, The girl turned, bright gold eyes catching Liora’s. “Mama!”Liora staggered Because that was Liora’s voice. From years ago, But she had never known this child A man stepped into view next Tall. Dark hair. Gentle smile. It was Auren. But... not quite.His eyes didn’t hold the weight, His soul didn’t carry the edge, He wore simple linen. Farmer’s hands. No sword, He crossed the garden to kiss her forehead. “Sleep well, my flame?”She nodded, too stunned to speak, A second child followed. A boy. Barefoot and grinning, dragging a carved wolf toy, The perfect family, The perfect life, And none of it was real “This is

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 64 – The Reflection That Lies

    The shrine’s heart was colder than the void. Liora stepped across the mirror-polished floor, flame flickering along her arms in warning. The walls pulsed gently, alive somehow, like lungs breathing in unison with the false worship outside.At the far end stood the impostor, She wore Aria’s face perfectly. Same sharp cheekbones, same knowing smile. Even the same silver-threaded green robes from decades past.But her eyes were wrong, Too wide, Too black, And behind them, nothing moved.“You’ve grown so beautifully, my flame,” the reflection cooed.Liora’s voice was steady. “You’re not my mother.”“No,” the woman agreed. “But I was hers. Or at least... I wore her heart before she knew what it truly meant to burn.”Liora stiffened. “What does that mean?”The impostor smiled wider “It means, child, that everything you are… was always part of something older, And now, the fire that made you wants to come home.”Liora raised her hand, golden light swirling “I’m not yours to claim.”The woman

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 63 – The Other Aria

    The scout’s words hung in the chamber like a blade mid-fall “She called herself… Aria.”Sera’s blood turned cold. Altheya stood frozen beside her, mouth parted but silent. “That’s impossible,” Sera muttered. “Aria hasn’t left Nightwind in weeks. She's been at Liora’s side every night.”The scout eyes hollow from the journey nodded slowly. “I thought the same, but... she knew things only the Firemother would know. And she walked through fire untouched.”Altheya’s hands clenched the edge of the war table. “We need to verify the queen’s location. Now.”In the Moonhall, Aria stood over her sleeping daughter, She was humming a lullaby older than kingdoms, Liora stirred slightly, murmuring in her sleep, “Mama…”Aria brushed hair from her brow, Then Sera barged in. “Sera?” Aria frowned.“Don’t move,” Sera said, drawing a dagger.Aria blinked. “Excuse me?”“Where were you two nights ago?”“Here.”“Swear it.”“I was here.”Sera didn’t lower the blade. Aria’s jaw tightened. “What’s going on?”A
