What Lies Beneath The Light

The cell beneath the Capital was eerie in a way that made my skin itch.

The spy sat behind a barrier of woven light and silver runes, bound at the wrists and ankles, her movements slowed to a crawl by layered magic.

She hadn’t spoken since Fenrir dragged her in nor did she bother to struggle either. That was what unsettled me most.

She wasn’t afraid.

Fenrir stood just outside the barrier, arms crossed, posture straight and unyielding. He looked every bit the prince now, commanding, composed, dangerous in a quiet way. The guards stationed nearby kept their distance, clearly aware that this was not a normal prisoner we're about to interrogate.

Winter hovered near me, unusually subdued. Though I can't say I'm not liking this version of him.

Oragon leaned against the stone wall, arms folded, eyes sharp. Gabriel stood opposite Fenrir, expression tight.

“She hasn’t resisted,” Gabriel said finally. “That worries me.”

Oragon's jaw flexed. “Why do I get the feeling that she wanted to be caug

    The word "Warden" echoed in my head long after the High Arbiter said it.Silence stretched across the council hall in an uncomfortable manner. I could feel it pressing against my chest, making it hard to breathe.Fenrir still stood close to me, his hand hovering near my back.“How many?” Gabriel finally asked.The High Arbiter folded her hands calmly. “Originally? Seven.”Winter frowned. “Originally?”Her eyes darkened. “Only three remain alive.”A murmur rippled through the chamber.My stomach twisted. “And the others?”“Dead,” one of the elders said bluntly. "Or possibly since traces of their existence has long since perished."Fenrir’s jaw tightened. “You said cooperation. What does that mean for her?”The Arbiter met his gaze evenly. “It means Selene must stand where she once stood before. At the center.”My heart skipped painfully. “No.”The word came out before I could stop it.Everyone turned to look at me.“I won’t be bound again,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady. “I w

  • The Broken Luna Returns   Broken Sanctuary

    The Elven Capital should have been a sanctuary. Towering spires of silver and crystal stretched into the sky, catching sunlight and scattering it across the city in millions of tiny rainbows. Streets were wide, lined with gardens that seemed to hum with quiet magic. And yet, the city felt… tense. Uneasy. Like everyone knew something dangerous was coming, and none of us had answers or have the capacity to evade the looming danger that is encompassing the city. Fenrir guided us through the outer gates, moving with a grace and authority that drew respect from the guards. I walked beside him, keeping my hand loosely on his arm. “We’ll need to reach the archives immediately,” Fenrir murmured. “Every delay increases the spy’s advantage.” I nodded, trying to appear calm, though unease pressed at my chest. The wounds from the vault attack were still raw, but the book pulsed softly at my side, reassuring in its faint glow. Winter skipped ahead, excited despite the tension. “Look at this

  • The Broken Luna Returns   Betrayal

    The inner vaults were meant to be safe.Crystal walls shimmered faintly, containing knowledge older than Fenrir himself. The air was heavy with magic, a stark contrast to the chaos of the outer halls.For a moment, I allowed myself to breathe.But the peace didn’t last long.Gabriel and Oragon were examining the crystal arrays, murmuring softly to each other. Winter paced near the doorway, eyes darting toward the halls beyond. Fenrir stood close to me, his presence a shield.I shivered slightly. “Do you think they’re gone?”Fenrir’s golden eyes scanned the vault, alert, calculating. “Gone? No. Waiting? Possibly. But the vault wards will keep them at bay… for now.”I nodded, though unease pressed at my chest. This wasn’t a moment to relax. Not yet.Gabriel finally spoke. “They weren’t random attacks. Someone inside is coordinating this.”Oragon’s fingers traced the edges of a crystal. “The markings on the ruins weren’t just for tracking—they were messages, instructions. Whoever did thi

  • The Broken Luna Returns   Enemies In The Halls

    What amazed me the most during my stay here is the fact that the capital is always bustling and glimmering even at night.Fenrir and I moved quietly, flanked by Gabriel, Winter, and Oragon, navigating the corridors toward the inner archives.The trial had left Fenrir drained. His golden eyes were sharp, but dark circles underlined them. I matched my pace to his, careful not to let him notice how closely I was watching him, both because of worry and because, in a strange way, I felt like he was mine to protect now.“Are you sure this is safe?” I asked softly, keeping my voice low so only he could hear.Fenrir’s gaze flicked toward me, expression unreadable. “Safe is a word the world no longer knows. But the archives have wards that even spies cannot bypass, unless someone inside helps them.”I shivered. “Someone inside?”He nodded, voice low, almost a whisper. “Caelreth’s reach is long. There may already be someone here. Waiting.”The thought made my stomach twist. Our victory at the t

  • The Broken Luna Returns   The Trial Of Blood And Truth

    The inner spire of the Elven Capital was nothing like I imagined.Every surface glimmered with a faint, almost living light. The walls seemed to breathe, twisting subtly as if the stones themselves were watching. And the air… the air hummed with power, thick and sharp, making my skin tingle.Fenrir walked ahead of me, tall and unyielding, despite the strain from the previous days. His silver hair caught the light in streaks, the glow making him look less like the man I knew and more like a legend come to life. But even his confident stride didn’t hide the tension in his shoulders.“The trial is dangerous,” he said quietly, leaning closer so only I could hear. “It tests more than bloodline. It tests truth, willpower… and intent. One misstep, and it can injure, even kill.”I shivered. “And if you fail?”He gave a small, almost imperceptible sigh. “Then I lose any claim to the Crown. And… the city may no longer follow my word.” His golden eyes softened as he glanced at me. “But if I fail
