Chapter 97 – The First Lie

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-08-04 18:22:19

There was no sound when the hollow Liora pressed her hand against Liora’s chest, No explosion, No sudden, cinematic thunder. Just a quiet rip, like paper being torn somewhere deep in the soul.

The moment she touched her, Liora's memories, real and rewritten, splintered like glass. And she remembered. It wasn’t a dramatic betrayal. It wasn’t some grand deception. It was a whisper.

A thought she’d buried beneath duty and defiance. She’d told herself: “If I become strong enough, I’ll never need to be loved again.”

That was the first lie, And the deepest. Because Liora hadn’t just buried her pain. She had built her power on top of it. The Hollow Liora stepped back, smiling with dry, cracked lips. “You created me the moment you denied your own heart.”

Liora staggered. The space around them pulsed, Not with light, Not with darkness. With narrative. The shape of a story folding in on itself.

Liora turned, trying to escape this space, But there was nowhere to run, The void wasn’t behind her.

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 119 – The Silence After the Sentence

    Kael did not cry. Not because he wasn’t broken, But because he couldn’t remember how. He sat in the crater of what had once been a battlefield of rewrites, cradling nothing.His arms held no weight, No warmth, Just the echo of Liolai’s final word burning against his palm: Love.Ashen knelt across from him, arms slack, eyes hollow. The last of his divinity had bled from him when he gave Liolai his binding rune.And now she was gone. The Queen was gone, The Eater had fled, no longer ravenous, no longer whole, But peace had not come, Only the silence.“She was...” Ashen began, voice like shredded parchment, “...more than just a rewrite.”Kael said nothin, Ashen dug his hands into the dirt, gripping it like it might keep him sane. “She forgave her mother. She saved you. She didn’t choose power. She chose you.”Still, Kael did not speak. Ashen stood, staggering, looking toward the horizon. A sun should have been rising. But there was only parchment-colored sky, stained with fading ink.“We

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 118 – The Price of the Living

    The air held its breath, Kael writhed inside the ink-prison, slamming his fists against liquid walls that absorbed his screams.Liolai stood frozen at the center of a crumbling battlefield, Ashen unconscious behind her, the Queen Rewritten bleeding shards of memory at her feet, and the Ink-Eater looming, mouth open like an unending wound.And then, the Queen spoke again, softly this time. Almost gently. “One life or all. Choose, daughter of the dead.”Liolai turned slowly, Gold and violet burned in her eyes. “You’re not my mother.”The Queen’s lips curved in a bloodied smile. “No. I’m what she left behind.”Kael couldn’t breathe, The ink wasn’t drowning him, no, it was editing him, Tearing away fragments of his past. First his name. Then the face of his child. Then… her voice.He gritted his teeth. Held on to a single truth: Liolai, He slammed his palm into the cage again, this time carving her name into the ink with his nails.L I O L A IThe prison recoiled slightly, But the Eater r

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 117 – The Crown of Forgetting

    Ashen didn’t move, Couldn’t. Because the moment she spoke, Unwrite the child, the world around them obeyed.The sky trembled. The stars paused in their fall, The ground curled upward as if recoiling from what was about to be undone, And Liolai… started to fade again.Not violently this time, Quietly, Softly Like a name whispered only once. Her pulse slowed, Her glow dimmed, Her presence became an afterthought in the very fabric of the realm.Ashen's voice cracked. “No…”The Queen Rewritten stood above them. Liora’s face, Not Liora’s heart, Her eyes glowed gold, fractured with shards of deep amethyst, a storm born of memory and rewritten vengeance.“You don’t understand what she is,” the Queen said, voice calm but thunderous.“She’s the product of betrayal. The echo of a path never meant to exist.”Ashen clutched Liolai tighter, shielding her from the unraveling. “She’s hope,” he growled.“She’s what Liora died to protect.”The Queen didn’t flinch. “She’s what I’m here to erase.”Liola

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 116 – The Queen Who Wasn't

    Kael dropped to his knees again, His daughter’s body lay still before him, her hand limp, her glow extinguished, But something was moving inside her.The air warped above her chest, The sentence, the one she didn’t write still shimmered in the air like a curse cast by the realm itself: The Queen will rise again, but not as herself…Kael shouted her name, Ashen backed away, sword raised, inkblade flickering erratically, Because what rose from Liolai’s chest wasn’t her, And yet it was.A woman’s silhouette unfolded, formed from threads of gold and black, Naked truth, Burning grief, And too much power.Ashen whispered, “Liora…”Kael blinked, unable to believe what he was seeing. But it was her, Her hair long and wild, Her mouthstern, trembling, beautiful.Her eyes, violet streaked with gold. But something was off. The way she moved, The way she smiled. Not like a mother reunited with her child.Not like a woman returning to the world she died to protect, More like, A god waking up and re

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 115 – The Daughter Unwritten

    The air writhed. Reality twisted in on itself, not with sound, but with intent. And so the child was never born…The sentence burned itself into the spinning cage that held Liolai. Each word cut a piece of her away. Her fingers faded first, Then her toes, Then her laughter.Kael roared, slamming his fist against the cage again and again, voice ragged, bleeding. “STOP!”Ashen stood frozen, His sword hummed, but even divine steel could not slice through unmaking.The Ink-Eater loomed above them, its hunger a gaping maw of elegance and finality. “You cannot keep her,” it said. “She is not yours.”Kael stepped forward, shaking. “She is mine.”Ashen looked to the echo-child, the fractured remnant of Liolai, and shouted over the roar of unraveling ink.“There must be another way!”The echo shook her head. “Not unless she’s forgotten. That’s the cost. That’s the law. If she remains loved, she remains unstable. The world rejects her.”Kael turned, voice low, guttural. “Then the world is wrong

  • ASHES OF THE LUNA QUEEN   Chapter 114 – The Mouth That Swallowed Light

    Kael stepped through the spinning maw of teeth first, Ashen followed, his blade humming with ward-light. Behind them, the last thread of their realm, the broken sky, the throne’s ruin, the fading stars, snapped shut.There was no going back. Only forward. Or down. The space they entered had no direction, No floor, No sky.Just narrative debris, torn settings, orphaned characters, broken dialogue bleeding from the air like ghost-scent.Kael’s voice sounded small. “What is this place?”Ashen didn’t answer at first. Then finally: “The Graveyard of Almosts.”Unwritten kings, Half-formed gods, Screaming lovers with no names, They drifted around the pair like spirits tethered to regret. Some reached for Kael.A woman with no eyes but a crown of fingers whispered, “I could have been your wife in another chapter…”He flinched away, Ashen slashed one specter down a forgotten villain who bled ellipses instead of blood.“They want attention,” Ashen said. “But they can’t have form.”Kael asked, “
