Nyx's POV Kieran and I exchanged glances before stepping forward. The grass beneath our feet was soft, almost unreal, glowing faintly under the light of the full moon. The garden stretched endlessly, filled with flowers of colors I had never seen before. A gentle breeze carried the scent of fresh rain and something sweet, something calming. At the center of it all, the Moon Goddess sat on a stone bench, her silver hair flowing like liquid light, her eyes glowing with the same pale radiance as the moon above. She looked peaceful, almost too calm, as if she had been expecting us. “Have a seat,” she said again, her voice soft yet powerful, echoing in the still air. Kieran and I hesitated for a moment before moving closer. The moment we sat, the ground beneath us shifted slightly, as if the very earth recognized us. “I have waited a long time for this moment,” the Moon Goddess said, looking at us with something like pride in her eyes. “You have done what even I could not.” She
Nyx's POV Kieran’s fire burned bright, and I felt power rushing through my body. The surrounding sea roared like it knew a storm was coming. Calypso and Lyraxys stood tall, their eyes full of anger, ready to tear us apart. Everything went still for a moment. Then, the fight started.Calypso rushed at Kieran, moving like lightning, her hands were covered in swirling water. The water stretched out like long snakes, aiming for his throat, his heart, his legs, anywhere to take him down, but Kieran was faster. With one burst of fire, he burned the water away. He dodged her attack, twisted his body, and punched her hard in the jaw. Flames burst from his fist as it connected, sending her flying backward. She slammed into a wall of water with a loud crash. Lyraxys ran at me, as her face got twisted with rage. She moved quickly, but I was quicker. She swung a spear of ice at my head, but I ducked just in time. I felt the air shift as it passed inches above me. Before she could attack
Nyx's POV All through the flight, Kieran held my hand, and I rested my head gently on his shoulder. It was the only way I could feel whole, the only way I could feel even a little normal. I gripped his hand tightly, and he held mine with the same intensity, as if he, too, needed this to stay steady. Every once in a while, he pressed a soft kiss against my forehead, a silent reassurance that he was there, that I wasn’t alone. The journey felt longer than it actually was. My thoughts raced, my heartfelt heavy with everything that had happened. The weight of loss, the burden of what lay ahead all pressed down on me. But Kieran’s presence kept me grounded. His warmth, his steady breathing, the quiet strength in his grip were the only things keeping me from completely falling apart. When we finally landed, the pilots maneuvered the helicopters carefully, setting them down in a clearing near the coastline. The roaring sound of the blades slowly faded, replaced by the rhythmic crash of
Nyx's POV My heart broke as I watched my twin collapse to the ground. My world crumbled as I watched Lyraxys hold Akira's heart. Trent had first stabbed her before Lyraxys took her life away. The world stopped.No. No. No. This wasn’t happening. This couldn’t be real. I walked over to her side slowly. Calypso and Lyraxys were not there any longer. No one was bothering me.My knees hit the ground before I even realized I had fallen. My hands trembled as I reached out, my fingers barely brushing against Akira’s still body. Her eyes, once fierce and full of life, were empty now. I couldn’t breathe. My chest felt like it was caving in, like something was crushing me from the inside out. The world blurred around me, but I didn’t care. All I could see was Akira. My twin. My other half. Dead. Gone. Unalived.A choked sob ripped from my throat, and suddenly, the world trembled. The sky darkened, thick clouds swirling violently above us. The ground beneath me cracked, deep fissures
Akira's POV I stood, ready to fight, when a severed head flew through the air, rolling until it stopped at Calypso’s feet. She looked down, and for the first time, I saw fear on her face. “Argh!!” she screamed. I let out a small, satisfied smirk, stepping forward with my arms crossed, my stance casual, but my heart pounding with anticipation. “Hey, bitches,” I said smoothly. Lyraxys’ voice shook with pain as she stared at the head. “You… you killed him.” I tilted my head, pretending to think. Then, I chuckled. “Yeah, and it was kinda easy.” “I will make you witness the wrath of a goddess!” Calypso shrieked, her rage exploding as she shot toward me, slamming me into the ground. It was another level of pain, but I refused to show weakness. Kieran shifted back into his human form, and red flames flickered around him like a second skin. Nyx moved beside me, gripping my hand tightly. We stood together, ready to fight like Twain. Calypso’s scream sent a shockwave throug
Akira's POV I had diverted from the battle with the goddesses when I saw Neptune. It was like I was drawn to him. I could not keep myself away from him. I have to end this whole battle once and for all. “Son of a bitch.” I growled, standing close to him.“Hello love.” Neptune chuckled. “Want some dick? We could leave this place, and head somewhere we'd be able to have fun without stress from all around.”“You'd have better luck touching the sun than you would have trying to seduce me.” I hissed at him, feeling very angry. “I like it when you argue,” he giggled. “It's cute. It maybe even turns me on in fact.” “You're sick in the head!” I growled, and I'll make sure that sickness ends today."Akira, I'd really hate to kill you today. I never planned any of that." Neptune shook his head. “Use you as a sex slave? Hell yeah! But waste such a tight and sweet honeycomb you've got down there over a stupid fight? I'm not really interested in doing that.” He shook his head, looking at me li
