Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 176: Chained by Desire II
~Serik Arelith closed the distance, pressing against my chest until I had nowhere left to go. Her fingers traced the line of my jaw, slow and testing. Her mouth claimed mine before I could answer, hot and demanding, while Vanya’s hands slid down my arms, trapping me between them. Heat pooled in my chest and lower still, my breath ragged before I’d even touched either of them in return. Their scents tangled in my head—wild flowers and fire, smoke and something darker I couldn’t name. I gripped Arelith’s hair, pulling her closer, even as Vanya’s lips grazed the line of my throat. Their bodies molded against mine, a cage I didn’t want to escape. And so it went—hands, mouths, whispered promises—until my blood burned hotter than the fire behind them. They kept me on edge, dangling me over the precipice without letting me fall, until finally Arelith drew back just enough to let words replace heat. “We’ve chosen,” she said, her smile sharpened. I blinked, trying to clear the haze
Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 175: A Step Closer
~Caelum The night tasted of iron. I adjusted the strap of the blade across my chest, the hilt pressing against my ribs with a familiar weight. I was never a fan of weapons but decided to try something new this time. It was not like I was planning to use it. At my side, my reluctant ally—Laurent checked the edge of his own weapon. His hands trembled, though he tried to hide it. The faint moonlight gleamed along the curve of the steel, turning it ghost-pale, brittle as bone. We stood just beyond the tree line, shadows clinging to us like a second skin. The house that Laurent told me was where the next lunar sentient resided, stood just before us. It was a dark shape in the valley, a squat thing of stone and timber with smoke curling faintly from its chimney. A ward shimmered faintly against the walls, thin and dying, like the heartbeat of a man too weak to stand. I almost laughed when I saw the ward. He picked the weakest protection spell for his home. This was going to be a breez
Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 174: Aftermath
~Eira The smell of smoke still clung to the air even when day broke. My hands trembled at my side and despite my efforts to hide them, Ryan still saw it. He walked up to me and held my hand, trying to comfort me. I walked with him into the village to see what had befallen the village. The destruction stretched as far as I could see. Roofs had collapsed, their beams blackened and charred. Fields that had been ripe with late summer harvest lay in ruins, stalks burnt down to brittle husks. A line of cottages sagged inward like broken teeth, smoke still curling from their wounds. And further still, at the heart of the village, the crater I had carved into the earth smoldered like an accusation no one dared speak aloud. The villagers moved slowly through the wreckage, their faces drawn, their eyes shadowed. Some carried buckets to douse stubborn flames, others sifted through rubble with bare hands, searching for anything that could be salvaged. A child’s toy. A family’s bread. A roof

~Aeron The chamber was too quiet, the silence pressing in like a heavy cloak. I stood by the window, staring out at the city below—our city. Obsidian should have been alive with pride, with strength, with trust in me. Instead, I felt the weight of their whispers even through the walls. Seliora sat across the table, her golden hair unbound, eyes sharp despite the shadows under them. She was as tired as I was, but she carried it better—like steel wrapped in silk. She moved like she owned the room. She was a lot better at handling situations like this which was a shock because I’ve been here more times. “They’ll never accept us this way,” I muttered, finally breaking the silence. My reflection in the glass looked harder than I felt. “Every word I hear is the same. They think I betrayed them. They think you—” I turned to look at her, jaw tight. “—that you’re here to take what’s theirs. I don’t think Reed’s son is the only one who has this view. He’s just the only one who made his di

~Serik When I got to the address that Arelith and Vanya gave me for our meeting, their laughter reached me before their hands did. A sound like silk torn in half—sharp, soft, dangerous. I had barely stepped into the chamber before Arelith’s fingers brushed my jaw, nails grazing my skin as though testing whether I was real. “You kept us waiting,” she purred, the words half accusation, half invitation. Before I could answer, Vanya was at my back, her breath warm against my neck. Her hands slid over my shoulders, down my arms, curling possessively. I shivered despite myself. “Someone’s hungry.” I growled. “I wanted to see if you still belonged to us,” she whispered, her lips grazing my ear. I let out a breath that wasn’t steady. “And what if I don’t?” Arelith’s lips curved into a wicked smile as she pressed against my chest, forcing me to step back. “Then we remind you.” Her mouth claimed mine before I could speak again, hot and demanding, her tongue brushing past my lips
Echoes of Moonfire Chapter 171: The Scent Behind Me
~Laurent The night was kind to me today, it wasn’t too cold neither was it too hot. The air was cool, the forest quiet except for the distant hoot of an owl and the sigh of branches rubbing together. My boots sank softly into damp earth, the moon spilling silver through the canopy like a lantern guiding my steps. I had walked this forests a hundred times and yet every time I walked through this darkness back home, I always felt unease. I told myself that I knew these roads and I had nothing to fear but still… I quickened my pace. The silence today felt too deep. It pressed close to my ears, like cotton stuffed inside. Even the insects had quieted. My breath rasped louder than it should have, mist blooming in front of my face. I pulled my cloak tighter and told myself it was just the cold. Then suddenly, a twig snapped behind me. I froze. Slowly, I turned, eyes combing the shadows. Nothing. Only the trees, gnarled and dark, stretching endless into the night. “You’re tired,” I w
