Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 164: The Last Drink
~Darian Life after the battle with the Horax had been strange. Not the kind of strange that ends after a few days of restless sleep, but the sort that lingered deep inside the bones. A silence too heavy. A loneliness too sharp. My name is Darian. Once, I fought beside the Lunar Sentients, a brotherhood bound by oath and moonfire. Now, I drink alone. I live from one night to the next, hiding in the shadows of old towns where my kind are nothing more than whispers and half-remembered fears. Some of us fled east. Some vanished into the forests, choosing exile over memory. As for me? I chose the taverns. The ale here was bitter, the music coarse, the company cheap. Still, the laughter filled the hollow places in me better than silence ever could. Tonight was no different. The hall reeked of spiced wine and sweat, candles dripping into pools of wax, lute strings snapping beneath drunken fingers. I let myself drown in it, one cup after another until the world spun softer around me
Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 163: Back to Normal?
~Ivy The corridors smelled faintly of chalk and lemon polish, the same as they had before everything had gone so wrong. Sunlight poured through the high windows of the academy, spilling across rows of students shuffling between classes. To anyone else, it might have felt like an ordinary day—safe, predictable, almost boring. But for me, the air still hummed with echoes. Of my mother’s warning. Of dad’s firm words. Of uncle Aeron’s watchful eyes. All of them wanted me protected, tucked away. And here I was, walking back into school with Kyle at my side, my necklace from Mother tucked under my shirt and warm against my skin. “Feels strange, doesn’t it?” Kyle said, falling into step beside me. His voice was low, careful. I glanced at him. His dark hair fell into his eyes, and there was a faint bruise near his temple—leftovers from everything that had happened. “Strange?” I asked. He nodded. “Like nothing happened. Like everyone’s just… pretending.” I let out a soft laugh, though th
Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 162: The Necklace and the Crown
~Omniscient The night air in Obsidian still carried the smoke of battle. The ruins of Arelith’s ritual circle smoldered in the courtyard, silver ash scattering across the broken stones like spilled starlight. The wards were broken. The monsters were gone. And yet, the air pulsed with aftershocks of magic, as if the ground itself remembered every scream and strike. Eira stood in the center of it all, her dark red hair gleaming like a beacon. She had been absent for too long, torn away into silence Now she stood, alive and unbowed, though exhaustion hung in the sharp lines of her face. Across from her, Ryan’s golden eyes fixed on her as if he could scarcely believe she was real. It was Ryan who broke the silence. He stepped forward first, his arms still sore from channeling the destructive magic that had freed her. His gaze softened, relief pulling the corners of his mouth into something fragile. “Eira. Are you okay? What did she do to you?” She turned to him, and though her exp

~Omniscient The cavern shuddered under the weight of snarls and steel-sharp claws. The circle at its center pulsed with sickly red light, Eira suspended above it, her body limp as though the magic itself had hollowed her out. Ryan’s roar broke the silence first, raw and guttural. He surged forward, hands blazing with magic, while Kyle and Ivy flanked him. Behind them, the guards — all shifting mid-run — bones snapping and fur erupting as their wolf forms tore through the air. The scent of bloodlust filled the chamber. Lady Chloe met them head-on. She moved like liquid shadow, her hands snapping outward in violent bursts of lunar fire. Wolves lunged; she spun, slashing through fur and flesh with glowing daggers that appeared from her palms. One wolf went down with his throat scorched open, another slammed into the wall, whimpering as smoke rose from his burnt hide. Ryan’s magic clashed against hers, a wild collision of flame and silver light that filled the chamber with explosi
Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 160: Siege of Moonfire
~Omniscient The night wrapped itself around Obsidian Castle like a conspirator. Its walls glimmered faintly under moonlight, pale stone catching silver as though the fortress itself were aware that danger crept toward it. Four figures pressed close to its shadowed perimeter, breath steaming in the cool night. Aeron. Ryan. Ivy. Kyle. Each bore the weight of what waited within: Eira, bound and bleeding strength into Lady Chloe’s spell. The real war wasn’t against steel or soldiers. It was against time. “Remember,” Ryan murmured, voice low as smoke, “we go in, split, break the defenses from inside. We regroup at the inner chambers.” Aeron rolled his shoulders, cracking his knuckles. “Yeah, yeah. Don’t get caught. Hit fast. Keep moving. Got it.” He kept his tone sharp, dismissive—masking the quicksilver of nerves beneath. Aeron adjusted the strap of his sword, nodding to Kyle. “You and I take the eastern hall. They’ll expect the most resistance there. Hope you can fight.” “A b
Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 159: Fractured Tethers
~Ryan The forest spat me out into their path. I barely had time to call their names before Ivy’s wide eyes fixed on me, her chest heaving as if her lungs were on fire. The guy next to her stumbled a step behind her, his grip on her wrist tight, his expression stricken with the kind of fear I had prayed they’d never learn this young. For a heartbeat, they froze, ready to bolt. The tension in their bodies was so sharp I could almost hear it. Then recognition dawned in Ivy’s face, and she breathed a single word that cracked something in me: “Dad?” I caught her before she crumpled against me, her trembling hands gripping the folds of my coat like she thought I might vanish. The guy next to her hovered, pale as the moonlight, his eyes darting back toward the treeline where the possessed still shrieked and tore through the undergrowth. I pulled them both behind me, every muscle braced for another attack. But the creatures didn’t follow. Not yet. Their cries echoed through the trees, f
