~Omniscient

The dungeon was silent again.

Lady Chloe’s heels clicked against the damp stone floor, unhurried, deliberate, as if she owned not only the cell but the air Aeron breathed. Her shadow stretched long across the iron bars, and the scent of roses — faint, wrong, out of place in the rot of the dungeon — clung to her presence.

Aeron leaned against the wall, feigning indifference though every sense was sharpened, measuring her like a wolf would measure another predator. He had not spoken to her since his imprisonment. She, of course, chose to break the silence.

“I take it you’re settling in very nicely,” she said at last, her voice smooth as silk and just as dangerous.

Aeron let a smirk play on his lips. “If by nicely you mean rotting in a hole while your lot preen upstairs, then yes. Nicely.”

The smile she gave was neither amusement nor anger, but something colder — as though she relished the role of spider tugging threads around a fly that dared to sneer. She stepped clos

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 207: The End?

    ~Eira The world was ending. I could feel it in my bones — the slow unraveling of everything I had fought to protect. The cold in the air wasn’t just wind; it was death, creeping through the cracks of existence. And for the first time in centuries, I felt powerless. I floated in the void, surrounded by an ocean of darkness so thick it hummed against my skin. The air was gone, the stars were gone — even the light of my own magic seemed fragile, flickering like a candle that had burned too long. Kyle’s prison was perfect in its cruelty. A silence so vast it screamed. A darkness so complete it devoured thought. I looked down at Caelum’s body — floating limp beside me, eyes closed, his godlight extinguished. He’d given everything in that last strike, and still, it hadn’t been enough. It never was. A laugh broke from my throat — soft, bitter, hollow. “So this is how it ends. Not in glory… not in triumph. Just emptiness. Lira would be disappointed.” But even Lira, I thought, w

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 206: Hopeless II

    ~Omniscient POV The sky was breaking. Black veins of shadow coiled across the heavens, swallowing the sun until only a dying sliver of gold bled through. Below, the world groaned — rivers stilled, mountains cracked, and the wind itself seemed to beg for mercy. At the center of it all hovered Kyle, arms outstretched, his form wrapped in an endless tide of darkness. Every breath he took sent ripples through the clouds. The ground trembled with each pulse of his power. Far beneath him, Aeron and Ryan shouted orders, ushering people through the flickering portals of light that led to safer ground and high above them — ascending through the dying light — Eira and Caelum rose together. They said nothing at first. Just floating towards Kyle to try in a last ditch attempt to stop him from ending all life as they knew it. Eira’s white hair streamed behind her like a comet’s tail, her eyes glowing with a brilliance that defied the gathering dark. The magic beneath her skin hummed like the

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 205: Hopeless

    ~CaelumThe first thing I felt was the ache.A deep, bone-heavy ache that radiated from my chest, my limbs, my skull. For a moment, I didn’t remember where I was. Then the scent of scorched stone and burnt air reminded me — the temple, the fight, the boy with black eyes who had torn through me as if I were nothing more than parchment in a storm.I groaned softly and pushed myself upright, the sound of stone shifting under my palms. My body protested, every joint singing in pain. The taste of copper filled my mouth. I wiped my lips with the back of my hand and saw the streak of red.Blood. Mine.So it was true then — I could still bleed.Before I could gather my thoughts, a blur of motion came at me. A fist connected with my jaw. The impact cracked through my skull like thunder. I stumbled backward, vision flashing white.Another hit followed. Then another.Eira.She didn’t speak at first. She didn’t need to. Her rage said enough. Each blow landed with the weight of centuries, her fury

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 204: The Voice Beneath his Skin

    ~Ivy“W–what are you?” I whispered.My voice barely reached him, but it was enough. Kyle turned toward me slowly, his movements too deliberate, too precise to be human. The darkness rippled around his frame like smoke dragged by an unseen current. His eyes — no, not eyes anymore, just two endless pits of black — caught the faint light, swallowing it whole.He tilted his head, almost mockingly. When he spoke, the sound wasn’t his. It was deeper, layered, echoing through the chamber as though a thousand voices were trapped inside it.“I am, Kyle. Your friend. Don’t you recognise me?”The words were familiar, but the tone — that hollow, resonant timbre — crawled beneath my skin. My heart twisted painfully. I wanted to believe him, but there was nothing human left in that voice.“The truth, Kyle,” I said, forcing the words out before my courage vanished. “What’s going on? What is this power?”He smiled. It wasn’t kind. It wasn’t real. His teeth looked too sharp in the dim light.“This,” h

    ~Omniscient “You’ve tested my patience long enough,” Kyle started, his voice deeper now, layered with something darker. His eyes glimmered, an ember of crimson beneath the calm. “No one has ever dared to lay a finger on me before.” “Now,” Kyle whispered, tilting his head with a smile too sharp to be natural, “I have to teach you a lesson.” The air itself seemed to recoil. Caelum’s wings flared open, shattering the dust around them like shards of glass. His expression hardened into something furious and unholy. “You speak like you have any right to stand before me,” he hissed. “You’re nothing but a mortal child dabbling in power you do not understand. Powers that won’t save you from my wrath.” Kyle smirked. “If I’m a child, what does that make you—an old man still trying to prove he’s relevant?” Caelum’s snarl tore through the chamber as he lunged, moving faster than light should allow. His fist, burning with divine fire, arced straight for Kyle’s face— Kyle shifted slightly. Th

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 202: The Shadow Inside

    ~Omniscient The invisible hand around Ivy’s throat tightened until stars burst at the edges of her vision. She kicked against nothing, clawing at the air, but Caelum’s magic held her high, her body thrashing helplessly. Around her, Aeron was on his knees, choking, his wolf form flickering like a flame under rain. The Obsidian guards writhed on the floor, gasping, their weapons clattering uselessly from limp fingers. Eira pressed against the bars of her cage, her palms raw from striking the runes that burned her every time she tried. “No! Leave her!” she screamed, her voice hoarse. Her daughter dangled before her, eyes wide, lips turning blue. She slammed her hands against the cage again, ignoring the searing pain. If she could just break free, if she could just— Caelum’s eyes gleamed red as blood. “Enough of this charade,” he said, his voice echoing like a god’s decree. “I will end it now. I have no use of you all. It’s not all any of you will be alive to see the world I’m going
