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 69 – The Price of the Flame

    Darkness. But this time… it was rest. Liora floated, wrapped in warmth, not fire, not ash, but something like a mother’s arms. She felt tethered again. Not to pain. But to life.When she opened her eyes, soft moonlight spilled through sheer curtains. She was lying on her side, the scent of dried lavender and burned incense clinging to the air.For a moment, She thought it was a dream, Until she saw the gold streaks scorched into the walls, Her own flame’s signature. She was home.Sera sat by her bedside, asleep in a chair, a dagger still strapped to her thigh, Aria stood in the doorway, face unreadable. Not the goddess. Not the warrior Just… her mother.“You’re awake,” Aria said softly.Liora tried to sit up. Her body ached, but it responded. “I remember… everything,” she whispered.Aria nodded. “You burned a god out of existence.” There was no celebration. No parade.Just silence. And tension. Because now the realm had no gods. And the world wasn’t sure what came next.Later that nigh

  • 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 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
