Despite the vulnerability of their exposed state, there was a resolute determination in Xander's stance, his muscles coiled like a drawn bowstring as he braced himself to confront the divine fury hurtling towards them. With Iris sheltered behind him, he stood as a bastion of strength, ready to bear the full force of the Moon Goddess's wrath.As the tension in the room reached a fever pitch, their hearts pounded in unison, a symphony of fear and defiance echoing in the hushed silence. And yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there was a flicker of hope in their eyes, a silent vow to stand together against whatever trials lay ahead.With each passing moment, the air crackled with the anticipation of impending judgment, the weight of destiny bearing down upon them like a heavy shroud. But in that fleeting moment of solidarity, they found solace in each other's arms, united in their determination to face whatever trials fate had in store."How dare you two!!!!!". As the Moon Goddess's v
"Now you want to rebel?" The Moon Goddess remarked, her voice dripping with scorn as she surveyed the scene before her.Despite the palpable tension that hung in the air, Iris and Xander remained resolute, their resolve unshaken by the Moon Goddess's icy demeanor. Iris's anguished cry pierced the air, her voice laced with despair as she pleaded their innocence to the uncaring heavens."We did nothing wrong!" she sobbed, her words a desperate plea for mercy in the face of unfathomable cruelty. "We have never harmed a soul. Why do we deserve this?"Her cries echoed through the chamber, reverberating off the walls and stirring something deep within my own heart. It was a raw, primal pain, a reminder of the fragility of love in the face of adversity.But the Moon Goddess remained unmoved, her expression impassive as she met Iris's tearful gaze with a cold detachment that sent a chill down my spine.With a flick of her wrist, she rendered Xander and Iris powerless, their bodies collapsin
My heart sank as I realized the cruelty of their confinement. The silver wall acted as an impenetrable barrier, separating the two lovers and rendering them powerless against its formidable presence. I could feel the intensity of the silver's touch, its malevolent energy pulsating through the air like a tangible force of oppression.As I gazed upon Iris and Xander, trapped within their respective cells, a surge of anger and sorrow welled up within me. How could such a vile act be perpetrated against two beings driven by nothing but love? It was a cruel twist of fate, a mockery of the very essence of their existence.With a heavy heart, I approached the silver barrier, reaching out to touch its surface. But as my fingers made contact, a searing pain shot through me, a reminder of the deadly power it possessed. Yet even in the face of such adversity, I refused to back down, my determination fueled by the unwavering belief that love would triumph over all.I looked at Iris and a wave of
I held my breath, willing the moon goddess to heed his cries, to show mercy in the face of such agony. But her response was not what I had hoped for.With a single glance, cold and indifferent, she silenced Xander's pleas, her gaze unwavering as though unaffected by the anguish before her.For a moment, the dungeon seemed to hold its breath, the silence broken only by the sound of Xander's labored breathing as he stared at the goddess in disbelief.But as the reality of her indifference sank in, a sense of resignation washed over me, extinguishing the flicker of hope that had briefly ignited within my chest. In the presence of such divine authority, there was little room for mortal pleas or appeals to mercy.With a heavy heart, I turned away, unable to bear witness to Xander's anguish any longer. In the depths of my soul, I prayed for a miracle, a glimmer of hope to pierce the darkness that surrounded us. But in this cruel and unforgiving world, miracles were few and far between.Xand
"Who in the name of the goddess is this lady!" I exclaimed, my voice tinged with a mix of surprise and suspicion. She was draped in a luxurious purple cloak that billowed around her like a royal mantle. Her slender fingers, adorned with intricate jewelry, were entwined around Xander's neck, and her head was nestled against his chest, concealing her face from my view.Xander remained stoic, his expression unreadable as she clung to him. His silence only fueled my curiosity, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of anger at the intimacy between them. "Who is she?!" I demanded again, my tone edged with urgency and intrigue, but there was no one to answer me, so I had to wait.The atmosphere grew dense with unspoken tension as the lady in purple continued to embrace Xander, her cloak cascading like a waterfall over his shoulders. I watched, unable to move or speak, as the connection between them grew clearer. There was a tenderness in her touch, a longing that hinted at a deeper story, one
"Iris, are you okay?" Xander asked, his voice gentler than a whisper. The warmth in his tone was a stark contrast to the coldness he displayed when speaking with Yennefer.Iris struggled to open her eyes, her lids heavy as if weighed down by an invisible force. She took a shallow breath, then spoke with a fragile edge, "I'm okay... You should have left with her. At least I'd be at ease knowing you were safe."Xander moved closer to the bars, his knuckles turning white as he gripped them. "I could never leave you, Iris. Not for anything," he replied, his words filled with unwavering conviction.Iris's weak smile faded as she forced herself to sit up. "You should have," she muttered, her voice frail but tinged with concern. "I don't want you to suffer because of me."I turned to Xander, waiting for his response. He chuckled loudly, a sound that echoed through the dungeon with a hint of mischief and warmth. "Stupid girl," he said, his voice carrying a teasing edge. "Ever since that day I
And to my greatest shock, the Moon Goddess replied, "My apologies for the harsh treatment.""What in the world is happening?!" I shouted, unable to contain my disbelief. Did I stumble into the wrong memory, or was this truly happening?"This is not the first time, Mother," Iris retorted, her voice laced with anger. "I'm starting to get used to it." Her eyes narrowed with resentment as she continued, "Why must we be treated like this, Mother? Why must I be treated like this? It hurts, you know! Every single time, knowing I have no power over my fate! And this is all your fault!" Her voice rose with each word, her emotions bubbling over."Don't you dare blame me for your mistakes!" the Moon Goddess shot back, her tone colder than ever. "You know very well that loving a vampire with the blood of a werewolf running through his veins brings nothing but disaster! But you ignored it and went ahead with it! How foolish could you be? Do you realize you're not only putting yourself in danger bu
They were crossing a threshold, stepping into a new world with no idea what awaited them, but they knew they had each other.Just as they reached the gate, Iris paused, turning back to face the Moon Goddess. She took a deep breath, her voice soft yet clear. "Thank you, Mother," she said sincerely, her tone carrying genuine gratitude despite everything that had happened.The Moon Goddess's expression didn't change. Her eyes were as cold as the stone beneath their feet, her lips a thin, tight line. She didn't acknowledge Iris's words; instead, her voice cut through the air like a knife. "Don't thank me," she said, her tone as sharp as ice. "This choice you've made comes with a price, and you have no idea what's waiting for you out there. It's not a fairytale, Iris. The dangers are real, and you will face them without the protection I offered you."Iris's shoulders slumped slightly, the weight of her mother's words sinking in. She knew this path wouldn't be easy, but hearing it from the
