Torn Between Two Moons The Thing That Shouldn’t Wake (chapter 38)
Chapter 38 – The Thing That Shouldn’t Wake The fissure widened, glowing veins of light spreading across the chamber floor. The whispers grew louder, overlapping until they pressed against Akira’s skull like knives. She gripped her temples and staggered. “Kaidën…” Her voice trembled. “It’s inside my head.” “I know,” he said through clenched teeth, pulling her behind him. “I can hear it too. It’s like it’s—chewing at my thoughts.” Her father lifted his hand, shadows twisting like frantic serpents around his arm. But this time, they weren’t under his control—they recoiled, trembling, as if terrified of what was rising. “No,” he hissed. “Not again.” The light blazed and then shattered into fragments. From the chasm below, a figure appeared—initially just a warped silhouette. Its body flickered between flesh and shadow, its face shifting and blurred, as if it couldn’t decide what it was meant to be. Dozens of eyes opened across its form, blinking in a horrifying, synchronized manner.
Torn Between Two Moons When the Walls Break (Chapter 37)
The air shattered like thunder as Kaidën’s sword collided with the shadowy spear. The impact shook the chamber, sending shockwaves rippling across the floor. Dust and bits of stone cascaded down, stinging Akira’s skin. Her father’s power was suffocating, every blow infused with ages of cruelty and cleverness. Kaidën pushed back, fueled by sheer grit, but every clash forced him backward, his feet dragging against the stone as if the ground was resisting him. Akira's breath hitched. Inside her, she felt the hunger still clawing away, begging for release, whispering that just one surge of her power could end this battle in seconds. Just one choice, one act of surrender—that’s all it would take. “Don’t even think about it,” Kaidën shouted, catching her eye as he parried another strike. His voice strained, but his gaze was fierce. “If you give in, he wins. Stay with me!” Her father sneered. “He’ll die for you, Akira. And when he does, it’ll shatter you, leaving only me to pick up the
Torn Between Two Moons The Monster Within (chapter 36)
The room shook as shadows grew thicker, engulfing the air around them. The ceiling creaked under the strain, cracks spreading like veins through the stone above. Akira’s heart raced in her ears, matching the turmoil brewing inside her chest. Her father stood firm amid the chaos, arms wide open as if inviting the destruction. “Can you feel it?” he yelled above the din. “The hunger, the power? That’s not your enemy, Akira. That’s who you are.” “No,” she spat, pressing her palms to her temples. The whispers were starting to eat away at her sanity, voices weaving through her mind with promises she was too scared to embrace. Take him. End him. End them all. We’ll give you strength. Kaidën cut through another wave of shadows, the blade of his sword glowing faintly with the runes carved into its steel. He was wounded, breathing hard, but his voice sliced through the chaos. “Akira! Focus on me. Don’t let him get inside your head.” She felt her knees weaken under the weight pulling at h
Torn Between Two Moons The Price of Power (chapter 35)
The quiet after the storm felt heavier than the battlefield’s echoes. Dust hung in the air, catching the dim light like broken stars. Akira stood at the center of it all, breathing shallowly, her veins still stinging from the shadows that had merged with her. Kaidën approached her slowly, almost like he was handling a wounded animal. His sword hung low, but his gaze stayed locked on her. “Akira… please, talk to me. Just tell me you’re still with us.” She forced herself to look him in the eye. For a moment, she was unsure of her own answer. The shadows still whispered at the edges of her mind, tempting her with power and vengeance. But she tightened her fists until her nails dug into her skin, anchoring herself with the sharp pain. “I’m here,” she whispered, though she wasn’t quite sure who she was trying to convince—him, or herself. A flash of relief crossed Kaidën’s face, but the caution didn’t fade. He reached for her hand, and she let him take it, even though her skin felt icy
Torn Between Two Moons The Fracture (chapter 34)
Akira felt the chamber tremble as she clenched her fist. The shadows around her transformed—no longer just her father’s or an enemy of Kaidën, but hers now. They danced around her like a tempest, shifting between flames and smoke, light and darkness.Her father’s eyes sparkled with triumph. "Yes! That's it! My blood. My heir."Akira's breath came in short gasps, her chest tightening from the intensity. The power wasn’t a whisper—it roared in her ears, surged through her veins, a thousand voices urging her to unleash chaos, to dominate. She stumbled, clutching her head as fragments of visions crashed into her consciousness—cities crumbling, seas boiling, shadows creeping over the world like an endless night."Akira!" Kaidën's voice cut through the storm. He fought his way through, blade raised, his eyes locking onto hers with urgency. "You’ve got to let go—it’s feeding on you!"But his words felt distant. The shadows throbbed, responding only to her. With a flick of her wrist, the grou
Torn Between Two Moons Blood and Light (chapter 33)
Chapter 33 – Blood and LightThe air shattered as the shadows lashed out, their jagged strands of light whipping like living blades. Kaidën pushed Akira back just in time as one of them sliced through the stone where she had been standing, sending sparks flying.Her father’s voice resonated, not loud but somehow echoing everywhere at once. “Do you see now? The shadows don’t destroy—they obey. They belong to us.”Kaidën lunged forward, his blade flashing in a blur of precise and ruthless movements, but every strike was met with the writhing coils of light that her father wielded like an extension of himself.“You’re wasting your strength,” her father said calmly, flicking his wrist. The shadows surged, slamming Kaidën against the wall with a bone-crushing force. He grunted but stayed on his feet.“Stop hurting him!” Akira yelled, rushing forward.As her voice pierced the air, the shadows shifted—pausing and faltering, almost as if they recognized her. For just a heartbeat, they hesitat
