Aria woke in silence.

Not the peaceful kind. The kind that felt awkward.

For a brief moment, she had no idea where she was—only that something in her felt different. It was heavier. Awake in a way it had never been before.

Her hand flew instinctively to her stomach.

The second heartbeat answered immediately.

Strong.

Steady.

Awake.

Relief instantly flooded her chest. She inhaled loudly and only then, did she realize that she wasn’t alone.

Dax sat on the floor beside the bed, his elbows braced on

  • The Luna’s last breath    Chapter 80–What rises from below.

    The ground did not explode outward. It peeled.It was as if something beneath it had laid in waiting patiently for permission.The crack between them widened into a jagged seam of red light, molten and violently pulsing. Stone lifted. Not shattered but lifted, as if pushed by something vast and powerful beneath the crust of the earth..Dax quickly pulled Aria back just as the ground split open beneath their feet entirely.Suddenly, a colossal shape began to slowly emerge from the seam.This one was not clawed like the scout. It wasn’t distorted either.Instead, it was solid. Undeniably ancient. Its surface looked like obsidian fused with bone, layered plates shifting slowly over one another as it rose higher and higher. It did not rise in a haste nor roar. It simply ascended.The stranger’s eyes widened in shock and his voice dropped to a whisper.“They have sent a Warden upon us now.”Dax’s expression darkened. “That sound like something we can never outrun.”“You cannot,” the s

  • The Luna’s last breath    Chapter 79–The thing that slipped through.

    The sky suddenly tore open with a sound like metal screaming.The split through reality was wide enough for it to fall through. It did not land gently. It hit. Hard. Its enormous weight caused the ridge to crack beneath it, sending outward a shockwave that sent Dax a step backward even in his shifted form.Wrong. That was the only word that Aria’s mind could describe it with.It was wrong in shape, wrong in movement and wrong in how the air recoiled from its form. Its massive form stood abnormally tall and bent in way too many directions all at once, its limbs were unnaturally jointed, its surface shifting restlessly like smoke trapped inside glass. A single burning eye glowed in the center of what looked like its chest.That single eye fixed on Aria with something like recognition.And the fragment inside her, it pulsed violently in response.Dax made the first move. He lunged with brutal force.He pushed his claws deep into the creature’s side with enough force to shatt

  • The Luna’s last breath    Chapter 78–The first knock.

    “They’re coming.”The words sent cold chills down Dax’s spine. They lingered heavy enough to silence even the wind.Dax tightened his grip around Aria’s shoulder without realizing. “Who is coming?”She shook her head slowly, tears in her eyes, still looking at the horizon where the crimson tear had flashed. “I don’t know… it didn’t sound like any voice like ours. It felt too old. Like something that doesn’t speak in words but still manages to make you understand everything it says.The cloaked stranger stared at them closely, its expression still. “Then it has truly begun sooner than anyone expected.”Dax turned sharply. “You were already aware this would happen?”“Yes. I knew it would surely happen,” the figure replied calmly. “I just didn’t expect the first door to open this early.”Aria pressed her hand against her stomach again, eyes squeezed shut, breath slowing, trying her best to steady herself. The pulse inside her had still not stopped. It throbbed faintly now, like a drumbe

  • The Luna’s last breath    Chapter 77—The echo within.

    For a while, Dax did not say anything.He simply had his gaze fixed on Aria's hand resting over her stomach, as if the sight before him might just disappear if he looked away“Inside…?” he finally asked, voice low but heavy with disbelief.Aria nodded in response with a pale but steady face. “Not fully. Not like before. It’s more of an imprint. A tiny piece of his essence that slipped through when the bridge sealed.”Dax’s jaw tightened. “Is it capable of hurting you?”“No. I don’t think so.” she answered, though uncertainty pulsed faintly beneath her words. “But it’s right there. Watching closely. Patiently waiting.”The wind swept across the quiet valley, twisting the tall grass around them in restless waves. For the first time since the battle ended, they realized the stillness around them was not the peaceful kind. It felt like the silence that came before a storm.Dax stepped in front of her , gently cupping her face. “Then we deal with it together. Like we have always done.”

  • The Luna’s last breath    Chapter 76–The Anchor.

    “Aria!”Dax screamed through the collapsing bridge as the light devoured her whole.One second she was in his arms, the next, she was goneNot fallen.Not drowned.Just gone.The core stone broke down beneath him.Wild Instinct won.He pounced forward into the blinding light without second thought.He didn’t have time to care if it would burn him.He didn’t even care if the gods struck him down.All he knew was that he would not lose her. Not again.He felt the light bite against his skin like a living wall of fire.His skin blistered instantly.His lungs seized.But he still pushed himself through it with his teeth clenched.“Aria!” he roared again.Then, silence.Suddenly, the light vanished.He screamed in pain as he hit solid ground hard, rolling across smooth stone.He quickly got up again and instinctively started calling out to Aria again.He was no longer in the collapsing bridge he was a while again.He found himself standing in a vast circular ancient chamber made entirely

  • The Luna’s last breath    Chapter 75–The choice that cannot be taken back.

    The ground disappeared beneath them.Aria could feel herself plunging, the world around her collapsing into waves of silver light and violent shadow. Wind tore past her ears, robbing her of breath, her scream misplaced in the roar of crumbling reality.“Dax!”She threw her hands wildly through the chaos.After a terrifying moment—nothing. Then another set of fingers brushed against hers. They were muscular, warm and familiar.“I’ve got you!” Dax shouted, gripping her wrist tight as both of them floated in open space, hanging above an endless abyss.The bridge was no longer a seam.It was falling apart . Massive chunks of glowing stone fell downward into endless darkness, shattering into nothing before they could even disappear from sight.Above them, the voice of the furious god echoed. “Let them fall! The bridge will seal itself!”Aria’s heart pounded violently.“No,” she gasped. “He will close it if we die.”Dax tightened his grip. “Then we climb with all we've got.”“There’s n
