~Omniscient POV

The throne room of Obsidian was steeped in restless quiet. Shadows clung to the corners, cast by the low-burning fire that flickered in the hearth. Outside, clouds drifted across the moon, casting ever-shifting light through the tall stained glass windows.

Aeron paced.

His boots echoed across the stone floor as he turned, jaw clenched, brows furrowed in thought.

“There must be a way to get her back,” he muttered.

Caelum, standing calmly beside the obsidian throne, spoke with careful precision. “Your heart speaks louder than your logic, Alpha. We don’t know the exact location of Eira, nor do we know how to get to her without alerting her captors. If we storm in blind, we risk her safety.”

“I won’t sit and do nothing.”

“I’m not saying we do nothing,” Caelum said gently, “only that we must be strategic.”

“We’re going to have to find her first.”

The large doors creaked open. Lyric entered with her usual poise, the silk of her robes whispering agai

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 53: Echoes and Shadows

    ~Omniscient POV The trees whispered in languages older than time. Eira stood beside Ryan, her arms folded tight across her chest. Behind her, the crooked forest stretched into infinite shadows. In front of them—nothing. No familiar path. No sky they recognized. The canopy was thick with curling black leaves, light filtered in green and gold through holes in the foliage, and the air smelled faintly of smoke and wet bark. “We’re lost, aren’t we?” she asked flatly. Ryan glanced over his shoulder, lips pulled in a half-smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “No, not lost. Just… marginally displaced.” “Right.” Eira rolled her eyes. “Displaced into a maze of ancient nightmare trees. Very reassuring.” They began walking again, pushing past ferns taller than a man. The silence pressed against them like damp wool, broken only by the occasional rustle of unseen creatures or the creak of shifting wood. Then—laughter. High-pitched. Innocent. Children. Eira stopped. Ryan halted a s

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 52: The Path of Smoke and Wild Magic

    ~Omniscient The market had long since folded into quiet shadows and cooling embers when Eira and Ryan began their quiet investigation. Moon Shadow was hidden from the eyes of the world so people disappearing was very odd. The streets that once bustled with life and voices now stretched still and silent under the half-moon’s gaze. The air had the scent of metal and dust, with the distant whisper of a breeze carrying the smell of pine. They walked in slow strides, shoulder to shoulder, the hum of Eira’s crescent mark barely audible beneath her skin. Ryan’s brows furrowed as they stopped before the first shop to be invaded—the one the vendor had told them about. “Nothing seems out of place,” Ryan muttered, stepping over the threshold. He bent low, running his hand along the dusty floorboards. “No signs of struggle. No blood. No magical residue. Nothing. It’s almost as if the trader just…” “…vanished.” Eira’s fingers glided across the counter. The shelf behind it still had jars nea

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 51: A Cake for a Dragon

    ~Eira The moonlight wrapped around us like silk as we hovered mid-air, the stars sprawled lazily across the heavens. Below, a craggy mouth yawned open in the mountainside—a cave, etched into obsidian rock, its edges glowing faintly with old enchantments. Ryan stood beside me, golden hair tousled by the wind, his hand still loosely linked with mine for balance. His eyes gleamed with mischief as he gazed down at the darkened cave. “Why here?” I asked, tilting my head, curiosity crackling in my chest. Ryan gave me that half-cocked grin I was starting to recognize. The kind that spelled trouble. “Well, let’s just say I have a score to settle with the person inside there.” I narrowed my eyes. “A person lives in a cave that smells like old dragon breath?” “He’s not exactly a person,” Ryan said, leaning a little closer. “Can you conjure a cake for me?” I blinked. “A cake? What for?” “You’ll see,” he said, winking. I rolled my eyes but lifted my palm and focused. Magic curled

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 50: Love, Goblins, and Lost Magic

    ~Omniscient The goblins began to advance. Their footsteps thundered against the desert ground as their weapons glinted wickedly in the sun. Aeron crouched low, trying once more to summon his wolf form, but his body betrayed him. The wyvern root from the food sat like sludge in his gut, dampening his magic. Caelum reached for a rock. Brim took a shaky breath. Lorian merely stared at the dozen grotesque, snarling figures, their silver armor glinting like death. Then— “Wait!” The shout rang out, high and clear. All the goblins turned. A figure stepped from the shadows of the crumbled huts. She was goblin too, but distinctly smaller—still taller than the werewolves but delicate compared to the tusked brutes beside her. Her armor was mismatched, her greenish skin smooth and oddly radiant, and her braided hair shimmered with obsidian beads. “Regatta, what’s the meaning of this? Why are you stopping us?” the lead goblin snarled. Regatta didn’t answer him. She was star

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 49: The Luna That Was

    ~OmniscientThe courtroom still reeked of ritual magic. The air was damp with the scent of old ash, spiced blood, and fresh incense. Lyric sat silently on the marble floor at the center of the ritual circle, her fingers trailing along the carved runes beneath her as if she was tracing secrets into her memory. Her golden eyes—once wild with clarity and fire—were now muted, filled with quiet wonder. At a distance, Kade stood with the sorcerer, speaking in hushed tones behind one of the throne’s pillars. “What happened? Why is she like that?” Kade asked, tension curling around his voice. The sorcerer examined his staff, the runes pulsing dimly. “The ritual severed her connection to the previous Alpha. That part was successful. But something interfered… a backlash of magic.” Kade turned his head slightly to glance at Lyric. She was crouched by one of the golden-braided tapestries, brushing her fingers against the intricate threadwork, mesmerized. “Why did that happen?” Kade

  • Echoes of Moonfire   Chapter 48: A Mark Upon the Moon

    ~Omniscient The alleyway grew still as the voice echoed, cold and cutting through the stagnant night air like sharpened ice. “I can’t believe you’ve been reduced to having to steal to eat,” it said, drawing closer, feet tapping slowly on cobblestone, “when you could have been gods.” Tamar, Serik, Rey, and Riven all snapped toward the direction of the voice. At first, nothing. Just mist curling along the stone like smoke. Then she stepped forward. She was cloaked in black-on-black—tight sleeveless tunic, obsidian trousers fitted into heeled boots. Her skin gleamed like pale moonstone under the lantern’s weak glow, but it was her wrist that drew Serik’s eye: the unmistakable crescent symbol of the Lunar Sentients burned faintly with silver-blue light. Her hair was raven-dark, cascading over one shoulder, and her eyes—a glacial blue—seemed to pierce through them all with ease. “You…” Tamar stepped forward, shielding the others. “You’re a Lunar Sentient.” The woman t
