CHAPTER 49 — THE FORGOTTEN RITUAL

The sunlight was directly overhead when the four of them finally reached the ruins of the ancient temple. The old building stood majestically in the middle of the dense forest, with stone pillars covered in green moss and mysterious carvings that seemed to move in the midday shadows. The air around the temple felt different—heavier, as if it contained ancient energy that had slept for centuries but was now beginning to awaken.

John stopped at the edge of the temple courtyard, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily. "This is the place," he said quietly, his voice almost swallowed by the oppressive silence. "The Astral Temple—where the first Moon Witch ancestors performed the soul liberation ritual five hundred years ago."

Dr. Hayes carefully set down his medical equipment bag, breathing slightly heavily after the long journey through the forest. "This building is still solid for something cen

    CHAPTER 50 — THE WAY HOMEThe journey back from the ruins of the ancient temple felt nothing like the trek that had brought them there. The sun was already dipping toward the west, pouring warm golden light through the gaps in the leaves. The forest air that had felt so oppressive before was now cool and refreshing, as though nature itself were celebrating their success in rescuing Luna.Luna walked between Aria and Kael, her steps still a little unsteady from the effects of the Soul Liberation ritual. Yet her brown eyes were clear again, radiating the warmth that had been missing for so long. Every so often she glanced at Aria with a small smile, as if she still couldn’t believe the nightmare that had haunted her for days was finally over.“How do you feel now?” Aria asked, matching her pace to Luna’s slower rhythm.Luna drew a deep breath, letting the fresh air fill her lungs. “Like… like wakin

    CHAPTER 48 — STRENGTHENING BONDSThe journey to the northern forest took longer than expected. The usual path was now blocked by undergrowth and fallen tree branches from the storm a few days ago. Kael's motorcycle had to turn repeatedly, searching for safe alternative routes through rocky terrain and small ravines that gaped darkly.The sun had reached its peak when they finally arrived at the edge of the old forest—a territory that even the Silverwood wolves rarely set foot in. The air here felt different, thicker, as if it contained ancient energy that had slept for centuries. The trees towered high with trunks so massive that even four adults couldn't wrap their arms around them."We have to walk from here," said John, getting off the motorcycle with stiff movements. Age and worry were clearly visible on his wrinkled face. "The motorcycle won't be able to get past tree roots that big."Dr. Hayes took his medical equipment

    CHAPTER 47 — THE AWAITED MEETINGDawn's light was still faint when Aria and Kael arrived at the old house standing firm on the edge of Silverwood forest. The two-story wooden building looked dark, with only dim light from the ground floor windows indicating there was life inside. The cold morning air bit at their skin, but neither felt anything except the anxiety gnawing from within.Kael stopped his motorcycle in the front yard overgrown with wild grass. The sound of the engine dying left an oppressive silence, filled only by morning bird songs and the rustling of wind through leaves. Aria dismounted with stiff movements, her body still trembling from the horrifying vision she had just experienced."Are you sure about this?" Kael asked softly, his eyes looking at Aria with deep concern.Aria nodded firmly, though her heart was still in turmoil. "I have to know the truth about Luna. Father might have answers."They walked tow

    CHAPTER 46 — FRAGMENTS OF TRUTHThe air at Silverwood ranch still carried the scent of herbs and antiseptic from Dr. Hayes' clinic that clung to my clothes. After a long conversation with Aaron about ancient rituals and the possibility of Luna being used as a catalyst, my body felt heavy with the burden of endless worry. My feet dragged as I walked toward the small room Kael had prepared for me—a simple space with a wooden bed and a small window facing the pine forest.The wooden door closed with a soft click behind me. Finally, after days of being surrounded by crowds, worries, and voices filling my head, I found the silence I needed. Silence to think. To search for answers.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my right hand still wrapped in thin bandages. Beneath the white cloth, a silver crescent moon tattoo glowed faintly—traces of Moon Witch power flowing through my blood. Since the incident at the clinic, the tattoo felt warmer than usual, as if reacting to something I could

    CHAPTER 45 — THE BLOODY RITUALPOV: AuthorIn the midst of a dark valley untouched by moonlight, there stood a hidden ancient stone structure, its interior emitting a faint red glow. The Hunters' base camp was no ordinary war encampment—it was an ancient magic fortress restored through blood, life, and curses. Here, the night dwellers gathered; not just humans, but those who had forsaken their humanity in exchange for power.The eerie atmosphere of the place was shattered by the long creak of the metal door on the north side. The door opened with a deep sound, as if revealing a gap between the world of the living and something darker. And from within the thick black mist of magic, a young woman stepped forward.Luna.Her steps were light, yet each one emanated an aura that vibrated through the air. Her eyes were cold, and her lips were stretched into a mocking smile that didn’t reach her gaze. Her clothes were ragged, covered in remnants of vomit and dried blood—one last act as a vict
