Elara sat at the edge of the sacred glade, moonlight spilling across the moss like a river of molten silver. The light clung to her like breath on glass, soft, cool, reverent. Around her, ancient trees stood sentinel, their trunks wrapped in vines older than kingdoms. The glade, a place of ancestral gatherings and whispered prayers, should have brought comfort. But tonight, it only echoed with unease.

She didn’t belong here. Not really. Not according to the way the others glanced at her when they thought she wasn’t looking, sideways, cautious, laced with unspoken doubt. Their wariness wrapped around her like smoke, curling beneath her skin. But it wasn’t just her presence that disturbed the stillness of the night.

Something else was here.

Something older. Watching.

Breathing without lungs.

Moving without form.

She closed her eyes and let the rhythm of her breath slow, tuning her senses outward like threads cast into the cold dark. The air was quiet, too quiet. Even the usual sounds of

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Crowned by Fire

    The Temple of Moons lay in ruins.Once a sanctuary of stone, of trial and tradition, it now stood broken, its marble bones scattered like remnants of a fallen age. Where altars had once risen and judgments had once echoed, now only smoke and silence remained. Dust curled in the moonlight, thick as breath, as if the very air mourned what had been.Above, the sky churned with restless power.The three moons, silver, crimson, and black, remained locked in alignment, burning brighter than stars. The Eclipse of Kings had passed… but the world was still watching. Still waiting. Still listening.The final trial had ended.The choice had been made.And yet, the earth held its breath.Because the Temple, in its dying, had one last gift to offer.Or one last judgment to cast.Elara stood at the center of the shattered courtyard, her breath shallow, her body trembling from the aftermath of battle and truth. Blood marked her skin. Ash streaked her face. Her eyes burned with something deeper tha

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Trial Three: The Eclipse Duel

    The Temple of Moons was dying.Its sacred stones, once etched with flame-carved sigils and monarch-forged runes, now cracked underfoot. Walls trembled. Pillars groaned as age and prophecy collided, shedding dust into the air like falling ash. The very soul of the Temple, the seat of trials older than written memory, was unraveling.The final test had come.Not by decree.Not by prophecy.But by the will of the Moons themselves.And it demanded the cruellest contest of all.Blood against blood.Sister against sister.The courtyard darkened beneath a sky gone still. Winds stilled. Birds vanished. Even the mountain trembled.Above, the three moons aligned: silver, crimson, and black, each carrying the weight of ancient truths. Their alignment, the Eclipse of Kings, had not occurred in a thousand years.It would not return for another thousand.At the heart of the crumbling temple, two figures stood beneath the unblinking light.Elara Moonstone, Queen of Flame and Ash, bearer of the Flame

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Choice

    The Temple of Moons was silent now, but the air still trembled with the echoes of Elara’s defiance.The Well of Sacrifice had sealed shut, its ancient hunger unmet. Yet the forces that governed Eldoria’s oldest trials, forces older than empires, older even than gods, had not been denied.They had simply adjusted the terms.Because destiny, when thwarted, does not retreat.It reshapes itself.And Elara was about to learn that her greatest choice was not between Kael and Lucien.It was between them… and herself.They stood together in the ruined courtyard, the cracked stones still smoldering from where Elara’s magic had shattered the laws of sacrifice. Moonlight bathed the scene in an ethereal glow.Lucien, bloodied, lips curled into a crooked smirk, masking the ache beneath.Kael, bruised, leaning on one knee, his gaze sharp and unreadable.Saphira, quiet, alert, her fingers twitching near the hilt of her dagger.And at the center, Elara.Still.Burning.Breathing with purpose.Then th

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Trial Two: The Well of Sacrifice

    The Temple of Moons was not finished with her.Even after surviving the Mirror of Truth, even after facing down her own fractured soul and reforging it into something whole, the ancient forces that once forged Eldoria’s sovereigns were not yet satisfied.They did not want allegiance.They demanded a sacrifice.And in Eldoria, sacrifice was never measured in coin or conquest.It was always blood.The night after her trials, as the three moons wheeled like silent sentinels over Moonstone Keep, the earth trembled. A groan rolled through the foundations of the citadel, ancient stone crying out as something older than memory stirred beneath the eastern courtyard.With a sound like thunder being torn apart, the ground cracked open.Stone split and fell away, revealing a pit of perfect blackness, bottomless, humming, and thrumming with old, hungry power.The Well of Sacrifice.The second, unspoken trial.Elara stood at its edge, cloaked in moonlight and shadow, the Flame of Virelith burning

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Trial One: The Mirror of Truth

    The Temple of the Three Moons did not release Elara after the trials.It remade her.And yet… something remained. Unseen. Unspoken. Unfinished.Buried within the bedrock of prophecy was a fourth trial, older than fire, deeper than blood. It had no inscription. No ceremonial flame. Only silence. Only shadow. Only truth.The Trial of the Self.The Mirror of Truth.It began with a tremor, soft as breath, sharp as destiny, beneath her feet.Still trembling from the Third Moon’s final judgment, Elara felt the ground quake. The stone beneath her boots cracked open with a grinding sigh, revealing a spiral staircase that twisted downward into a black so complete it devoured light.Above, just beyond the edge of the opening, Lucien, Kael, and Saphira stared down, their faces creased with worry. But none moved to follow.They couldn’t.This was hers alone.The Flame of Virelith, which had pulsed with growing strength in her chest through each trial, flickered… and dimmed. Not in fear. But in so

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Trial of Three Moons

    When ancient Eldoria was whole, kings and queens were not chosen by inheritance, nor declared by council or blade alone.They were forged.In fire, in memory, in sacrifice.The Trial of Three Moons, spoken of only in hushed tones within the oldest scrolls, remembered by the dwindling few known as Flamekeepers, was once the crucible through which Eldoria’s greatest sovereigns emerged. It was not a rite of passage, but of purpose. It did not demand blood from enemies, but truth from the soul.Few survived it.None had attempted it in over five hundred years.Until now.Beyond the cliffs of Avaryn, where wind howled like forgotten names and no sunlight dared settle, the Temple of Moons waited. Carved into the marrow of the mountain itself, it pulsed with a silence that was older than gods and twice as watchful.Elara stood at its gate, the air sharp against her cheeks, her heavy black cloak thrashing like a living thing in the wind. Her breath misted with tension, her hand resting lightl
