The Broken Luna Returns When the Masks Fall
We didn’t make it to dawn.The first scream reverberated throughout the forest in a manical way.I bolted upright, my heart slamming against my ribs. The wards Fenrir had set flared bright blue, rippling through the trees like a wave of light.“Everyone, gather!” Fenrir snapped.Steel rang out immediately.Winter was already on his feet, knives flashing in his hands, while Oragon moved like a shadow, disappearing into the darkness beyond the fire. Gabriel raised his staff, murmuring a spell under his breath.Lysara froze for half a second, then swore softly in Elvish that I couldn't understand.“They didn’t wait,” she said.Another scream erupted, closer this time.Fenrir grabbed my wrist. “Stay behind me.”I nodded, forcing my legs to move as we backed toward the center of the camp. The forest exploded into motion. Dark figures burst through the trees, fast and silent, their armor swallowing the moonlight.Assassins.Not scouts.They moved with deadly precision, they were too coordin
The Broken Luna Returns The Weight of What We Carry
The forest didn’t feel the same after the ambush.The loud crickets and the buzzing of the animals stopped. It was quiet. The kind of silence tht you know will bring danger any minute the further you step into it. That kind of quiet that presses against your ears and makes you listen to your own breathing too closely.Every step we took after leaving the ravine felt heavier, like the ground itself was aware of what had happened and was judging whether we deserved to pass.No one spoke for a long time.Fenrir walked beside me, close enough that our arms brushed now and then. He didn’t try to hold my hand. He didn’t tell me to slow down or speed up. He just stayed there, steady and silent, like an anchor.I appreciated that more than I knew how to say.Winter finally broke the silence, kicking a small stone down the path. “So… scouts.”“Yes,” Gabriel replied. “Elven-trained, rune-marked. Not mercenaries.”“Meaning official,” Winter muttered. “Or at least backed by someone powerful enoug
The Broken Luna Returns What Lies Ahead
The forest didn’t quiet down after Kaelen vanished.If anything, it grew even more thicker.The air felt drawn thin, like a held breath that refused to release. We continued forward in silence, each step measured, every sound scrutinized. Even Winter had stopped making comments, which somehow made things worse.Fenrir stayed close, too close to be casual, but not close enough to suffocate me in a sense. His presence was steady, deliberate. Protective without being loud about it.I kept thinking about Kaelen’s eyes.That look of interest in his eyes, that was mixed with excitement? Honestly, that person was hard to read.Like I was a problem he was excited to solve.We reached a narrow ravine by mid-morning. Silver-leafed trees bent over it, their branches arching together like a natural bridge. Below, water flowed quietly, clear enough to see smooth stones lining the bottom.Gabriel finally broke the silence. “We stop here.”Fenrir nodded. “Good choke point.”Oragon scanned the treeli
The Broken Luna Returns The One Who Watches
We reached the border of elven territory at dawn.There was no gate.No towering wall.Just a subtle shift in the air. The forest changed first. The trees grew taller, their bark smoother, veins of faint silver light running beneath the surface like living veins. The ground felt softer underfoot, moss cushioning every step.Fenrir slowed instinctively.“This is as far as most outsiders ever get,” he said quietly.I glanced at him. His posture had changed—still calm, still controlled, but more guarded. Like someone walking into a house that no longer felt like home.Winter squinted around. “Looks peaceful.”“That’s how it’s meant to look,” Oragon replied. “Elven wards favor subtlety.”Gabriel tapped his tablet. “And secrecy. I can’t detect half the magic here.”We moved deeper.The forest grew unnaturally quiet. No birds. No insects. Even the wind seemed hesitant.I felt it again, that awareness crawling over my skin.Someone was watching us.I slowed slightly, letting Fenrir move half
The Broken Luna Returns Our Resolve
We didn’t stop moving until night fell.No one said it out loud, but we all felt it, the sense that the ravines weren’t just a battlefield, they were a warning. The enemies we faced weren’t mindless. They were organized. Patient. And they knew exactly who I was and what we are capable of.That scared me more than the fight itself.When we finally made camp, it was deep within a dense stretch of forest. The trees here were tall and ancient, their branches woven together so tightly they blocked most of the moonlight. Fenrir said little as he worked, but I could feel his awareness stretched wide, magic humming softly around us like an invisible shield.I sat near the fire, hands wrapped around a warm flask Winter had shoved into my palms without comment.“Drink,” he said. “You look like you’re about to tip over.”“I’m fine,” I replied automatically, then took a sip anyway. The warmth helped, grounding me.Across the clearing, Gabriel and Oragon spoke in hushed tones, poring over a worn m
The Broken Luna Returns The Weight Of What Holds
I didn’t sleep.I drifted in and out of shallow rest, caught between dreams that weren’t mine and memories that didn’t fully exist. Every time my eyes closed, I felt it again—that pressure, that quiet certainty deep in my chest.*You were meant to hold them shut.*The words echoed long after the ruins fell silent.Morning crept in slowly, pale light filtering through the broken arches of the structure we’d taken shelter in. The others were already awake. I could hear the low voices of Gabriel and Oragon arguing in careful, controlled tones, like they didn’t want their words to reach me.Fenrir was nearby. I didn’t need to see him to know that. His presence felt like a steady anchor, constant and calm, even when my thoughts threatened to spiral.I finally pushed myself upright.Fenrir noticed immediately. He was at my side in seconds, crouching. “Easy.”“I’m fine,” I said, though my voice sounded thinner than I wanted. “Just… tired.”“That’s allowed,” he replied quietly.Winter glanced
