Chapter 31: The First Seal

The Moonwell exploded.

Silver water erupted into the air, mixed with black tendrils that twisted like living smoke.

I screamed.

Ronan grabbed me and pulled me backward as the force of the explosion sent stones crashing from the ceiling.

“Get down!”

We hit the floor.

The entire chamber shook.

The ancient walls groaned as cracks raced across the stone.

Then everything went silent.

Too silent.

I slowly lifted my head.

The Moonwell was gone.

Where the ancient basin had st

    Chapter 32: The Army Beneath the SeaThe word followed us all the way back to the palace.Queen.Thousands of voices had whispered it from beneath the exposed seabed.The sound had not been loud.It didn't need to be.It had traveled through the streets, through the stone beneath our feet, and somehow straight into my bones.I stood at the harbor with Ronan beside me, staring at the impossible sight before us.The sea had retreated.Not by a few meters.Not by a few hundred.It had pulled back so far that the entire drowned kingdom lay exposed beneath the moonlight.Towers rose from the seabed.Silver bridges stretched between ancient buildings.Massive statues stood along streets covered in centuries of sand.And everywhere—soldiers.Thousands of them.They stood motionless in black armor.Their helmets bore the broken crown of Malachar.Some carried swords.Others carried spears.At the c

    The voice inside my head did not disappear.It whispered beneath every thought.Beneath every breath.Beneath the pounding of my heart.Little moon.I pressed both hands against my ears.It didn't help.The voice wasn't coming from outside.It was inside me.Ronan crouched in front of me.“Lyra.”I stared at him.His face was the only thing that felt real.“Look at me.”I tried.The chamber around us blurred.The cultists.The broken altar.The shattered stones.All of it seemed distant.Only Ronan remained clear.“You're here,” he said.I shook my head.“Something is inside me.”His expression tightened.“I know.”“No.”I pulled away from him.“You don't understand.”“Then tell me.”“I can feel it.”My voice trembled.“Something is moving beneath my skin.”Ronan looked at my hand.The black veins had spread across my palm.They curled arou

    The voice disappeared.For several seconds, nobody moved.Nobody breathed.I stood frozen beside Ronan, staring at the cracked silver bowl on the table.The words still echoed inside my head.My queen has finally come home.My skin prickled.Ronan stepped in front of me.“Everyone out.”The Moonborn elders looked at him.Elyria didn't move.“Now,” Ronan ordered.The doors opened.Guards rushed inside.“Your Majesty?”“Seal the library.”The guards immediately moved to the entrances.“No one enters.”Lucien stared at the floor.“You heard it too?”Ronan nodded.“That wasn't Malachar.”Everyone turned toward Elyria.She looked troubled.“No.”“Then who was it?” I asked.Elyria's eyes moved toward me.“I don't know.”I almost laughed.“You don't know?”Her expression remained serious.“Malachar was a king. A tyrant. A monster, perhaps. But he was still human

    The darkness lasted three heartbeats.Three heartbeats in which the entire harbor disappeared.No moon.No stars.No torches.No silver glow from the Moonroad.Nothing.Then the screaming began.“Stay back!”“Protect the children!”“Get inside!”“Where are the guards?”The darkness swallowed every voice until they became one terrible roar.I felt Ronan's hand find mine.Not because of the bond.There was no bond anymore.He simply reached for me.And somehow, in the darkness, that mattered more.“Don't move,” he said.“I can't see.”“Neither can I.”A sharp cry came from the crowd.Then another.Something struck the stone near my feet.Ronan pulled me toward him.“Stay behind me.”A sudden flash of silver tore across the harbor.The Moonroad returned.But it was different.Its light no longer looked soft and beautiful.It burned.Silver flames climbed into

  • Bound to the cursed king   Chapter 27 : The silver refugees

    The sea remained silent after the wave fell.Too silent.I stood at the edge of the harbor with Ronan beside me, staring at the place where the water had risen high enough to reveal the drowned city.The Moonroad still glowed.But the figures I had seen beneath the waves were gone.No pale faces.No ghostly armies.Nothing.Only the sea.And yet I could not shake the feeling that something had seen me.Something ancient.Something that knew exactly who I was.“Lyra.”Ronan’s voice pulled me back.I looked at him.He was watching my face.“What did you see?”I hesitated.“A city.”“We saw that.”“No.” I swallowed. “I mean beneath it.”His expression hardened.“What?”“People.”Lucien, standing a few steps behind us, immediately stopped joking.“How many?”“I don’t know.”“Were they Moonborn?”“I think so.”Ronan glanced toward the water.“Were they alive?”
