The Blood Moon’s Heir

The cavern below Black Hollow screamed in silence. Stone cracked, roots writhed, shadows breathed. The first monster loomed in flame and bone towering, terrible yet beneath its form, I saw him the man whose blood ran through mine.

I stood trembling, torn between horror and recognition. Dante and I stared at each other across the wreckage. His face was pale, strained, grief and fear mingled in lines I had never seen before.

Sarah held David close. Theron stood between us and the beast, claws at the ready. John and Daniel circled outward, searching for weakness in the walls and shadows alike.

The beast’s eyes gold and brimstone flicked from me to Dante to the twin‑figure. Its voice rolled across the broken chamber:

“She bears the line. She is the key. And you, daughter, will awaken me.”

It strode forward. Each step made the stone moan.

I swallowed. “No.”

The monster didn’t pause. It lifted a hand. Fire and shadow flickered, roots spiraled. The earth shook.

    The Hunt BeginsThey landed hard back in the forest, gasping as if the Veil had sucked the breath from their lungs. Moonlight scorched the treetops, casting twisted shadows across the clearing. But they weren’t alone anymore.Dozens of figures stood in the darkness.Eyes glowing, movements unnatural, the Lost.Sarah gripped John's arm. “They followed us through the breach.”He nodded slowly, eyes scanning the perimeter. The creatures, once people, now twisted by the Spiral and the Veil were silent, watching, waiting.Then, a voice cut through the tension.“You’ve made quite the mess, John.”David Holt stepped into view alive, but barely. His skin was cracked, eyes hollow, and Spiral marks burned down his neck like roots, whatever pact he had made had changed him. Not fully monster, not fully human, but powerful enough to be dangerous.“You were supposed to die,” David snarled. “The town needed your blood. Your failure doomed everything.”“I didn’t fail,” John said coldly. “I changed t

    Rise Of The MoonbearerThe forest shuddered under the weight of hundreds of unshed storms. Leaves ripped from trees, roots convulsed like serpents, and the sky itself cracked above Black Hollow fractures of gold and blood making strange patterns in the air.John stood in the heart of the clearing, chest heaving, eyes aflame. The wound in his side throbbed, but he barely felt it anymore, this wasn’t pain, It was purpose.Sarah knelt beside him, hands stained with ash and blood, dagger discarded, her silver hair plastered to her face. She looked up at him. “John … what are you doing?”He didn’t answer. Because the One Beneath the monster, the curse incarnate hovered over them both now. Each breath its exhaled, bent reality. It wore his mother’s face still, but twisted soft with regret, sharp with malice.“You are the heir,” it said again, voice echoing in the trees. “The bloodline of Crowe fulfilled, the Spiral broken, the Veil undone, rise.”John raised his head. His eyes caught the mo

    The One Beneath*The pit groaned open like the maw of an ancient beast, exhaling a breath that turned the trees gray and the sky hollow. John stood frozen, hand still bleeding, the remnants of the altar crackling beside him. His blood had been the final key.Sarah pulled him back, but her voice was hollow. “We didn’t just break the curse, we released something.”From the chasm, a second claw rose mirror to the first gripping the edge of the broken earth. A hulking form followed, still cloaked in darkness, but its outline made the air tremble. It was not like the monsters they’d faced. Not even like the Spiral’s creatures.This one didn’t crawl, It rose, and it remembered them.“John,” the voice came again, and this time it was clearer. “Your blood calls to me.”David, still half-buried in the trembling ground, let out a choked laugh. “You fools. You weren’t the saviors, you were the offering.”The form began to rise towering, humanoid but not, horns curled from its head, and its torso

    Blood BetrayalThe pain was white-hot. John gasped as the blade sunk deeper into his side, then wrenched out with a sickening pull. He staggered, eyes wide, breath caught somewhere between shock and fury. Behind him stood the last person he expected….David Holt. Not cloaked in shadows, not hiding behind false loyalty, but standing tall, eyes glazed with purpose and madness. “I told you,” David hissed, blood-speckled dagger in hand. “This town was never yours to save.” Sarah screamed, lunging forward, but the shadows whipped around David like armor, he raised his hand and sent her flying backward with unnatural force. John dropped to one knee, blood soaking through his shirt, the forest floor swallowing it like it had waited years for this. “You betrayed us,” John rasped. “No,” David said, stepping closer, voice eerily calm. “I preserved what you tried to destroy. The Spiral… the blood moon… they chose me long before you ever understood what you are.” Behind him, the

    The Show UpJohn’s breath hitched as the cold air pressed harder against his skin, the faint glow of the blood moon bleeding through the cracks in the forest canopy. The voices, the whispered cries from another time swirled inside his mind. His mother’s apparition shimmered just beyond the line of sight, her sorrowful eyes locked on him like a silent plea. Sarah stood close, her hand clenched tight around his, grounding him when everything else felt like it was slipping away. The shadows stretched longer, pulling at the edges of their reality. The forest seemed alive, watching. Waiting.“I never wanted this for you, John,” the voice broke the heavy silence soft, yet laced with an unbearable weight.John swallowed hard. “Why now? Why show yourself after all these years?”The ghost’s form flickered as if struggling against some unseen force. “Because the blood moon demands the truth... and the sacrifice.”Sarah’s grip tightened. “We’ll face it together.” John nodded, but inside, the s

    Memory of FireSarah didn’t move.The man in front of her looked like John. Stood like him. Even smelled like him smoke, iron, and wild air, but those eyes…They didn’t know her.“John,” she whispered, hoping his name might bring something back.He tilted his head, curious, not alarmed “Why do you call me that?”Her breath caught. “Because it’s your name.”He stepped forward. “I don’t remember it. Or you.”Sarah’s heart cracked in two.Not once since she’d come to Black Hollow had she felt so powerless, not even when they tied John to the pyre, mot even when the Spiral tried to rip his soul apart.But now? He was here, alive, and he had forgotten her.“I came for you,” she said. “I crossed through the Veil, I burned for you.”His gaze flickered slightly at that. “Burned?”She nodded, “You’re John Crowe. You were marked by the Spiral, but you weren’t like the others, you fought it, you made a vow… with me.”His brows furrowed. For a moment, something deep in him stirred like a flicker
