The sky returned to normal again.

Too normal.

The stars above them glittered in a different silence, the crimson tear vanished as if it had never existed. The ridge looked broken, afraid, and littered with the blackened remains of the fallen Warden. But up above them, the heavens were calm.

But Dax didn’t trust it.

He held Aria closely, almost as if the air itself might try to take her away from him.

“You said it marked you,” he murmured.

Aria nodded faintly, still catching her breath. “It wa

  • The Luna’s last breath    Chapter 83–The lattice beyond the sky.

    The geometry gave off sparks.Not like thunder.Not like magic.It flared with the strength of something beyond old—something calculated, intentional, and fully above mortal design.Stripes of white fire crawled its way across the skies above the broken valley. They met at impossible angles, forming shapes that confused the mind only by looking at them.Aria herself could barely keep her eyes on it.The patterns bent the rules of space itself. Triangles folded into spirals. Spirals collapsed into grids that appeared to extend infinitely outward, disappearing beyond the curve of the world.For a while, everything was still.Then, the sky suddenly began to move.Not the clouds nor the stars, but something behind the blazing geometry caused the movement.Something massive.Something living.Dax sensed it immediately. The air thickened around them. Almost as if the atmosphere itself had suddenly gained some sort of weight. Every instinct in his body told him that whatever stood behi

Not like a wound.” She swallowed. “It touched the weave.”The stranger stepped closer, gaze sharp. “Let me see.”For a moment, Aria hesitated, then closed her eyes.Instead of forcing power outward, she reached inward—into the silver lattice that now lived right beneath her skin. The anchor responded immediately, threads began illuminating in her mind like constellations.And there it was. A single thread that glowed differently.Not crimson nor broken.But changed.Dax sa

  • The Luna’s last breath    Chapter 81– When the sky answers.

    The crimson did not flicker like it did initially. It held still. Or stretched across the horizon like a scare that refused to disappear.And right behind it, movements could be seen. These movements were not that of shadows or distortions. They looked like silhouettes. Ones that were vast enough to bend the light around them.Dax could feel Aria’s fear as she stood frozen in his arms..The fragment inside her was no longer pulsing in timed bursts. This time, it was steady, aware and highly conscious.“They’re not hesitating anymore,” she whispered.The stranger stood frozen in place, cloak flying in the howling wind. “You have destroyed their Warden. That was not expected.”Dax’s jaw tightened. “Good.”“No,” the stranger snapped. “That is not good. I already told you, these creatures do not distinguish between threat and challenge.”The crimson began to widen. It didn’t happen violently, but deliberately.It was almost as if something on the other side was stronger and it was peel

  • 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

    “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

    Aria fell deep into total darkness.Not a clean fall. Stones scraped her arms, her knees slammed into jagged rock, and pain spread through her side as she tumbled through narrow passages that felt too tight, too alive.Then—She hit the stone floor hard.Air fled her lungs in a sharp, choking gas

    For centuries, the secret chamber beneath the palace had not been opened.Heavy dust covered the surface of the stone etched with symbols far older than packs and older than crowns. The air itself felt heavier, as if it remembered what had been done here and knew it should never be done again.Dax

    The first blow didn’t reach her.A spear flew from the crowd, wicked and desperate, its intent loud with hatred. It ripped through the air and shattered like glass inches from Aria’s chest.Silver-black light rippled outward, not as an attack, but as instinct.The valley went still. Aria stood fr

    The sudden silence felt different.Not the peaceful kind of silence, but the kind that was caused by people who stop being truthful.Aria sensed it in the way guards could no longer meet her gaze. In how council members spoke carefully, choosing their words smartly, like walking on egg shells.“The
