Melisa’s POVI opened my eyes to find myself outside the chamber. Rather, I was at a location that felt... unbelievable. The stars were so close that I felt like I could touch them in the swirling silver and blue sky. The earth was firm enough to walk on, but it shimmered like water beneath my feet."Where am I?My voice echoed in the vast expanse as I whispered.From behind me, a gentle, melodious voice replied, "Child, you are in a space between realms."I froze, spinning around. In front of me was a glowing person whose presence was both reassuring and overwhelming. With her moon-like eyes and flowing silver hair, she was breathtakingly gorgeous. She exuded strength and warmth."The Moon Goddess," I exhaled, nearly collapsing."Yes, Melissa," she uttered softly, her voice a calming tune. "You've gone through a lot to get here."I stepped forward unsteadily. "What brings me here? Am I? Dead?"The deity gave a little smile. You are near the edge, yet you are not dead. You have been ma

Melissa’s POVAs we stood in the darkened room, the atmosphere was heavy with anxiety, the Void's presence weighing down on us like a heavy blanket. The marks it had seared into my skin were shining faintly as my hands shook and I clutched the celestial blade.An old map was etched into the stone floor, and Kael leaned over it. "This is it," he stated in a steady yet quiet voice. "The anchor is at the heart of the Void. If we destroy it, we destroy the Void for good."Liora paced. "But it won’t just let us walk in and do that," she said. Nervous energy flicked at her tail. "The shadow creatures will swarm us the moment we make a move."Damon was standing next to me, staring at the sword I was holding. "We’ll keep them off you, Melissa. Kael, Liora, and I will hold the line. Your only focus is the anchor."Despite the tightness in my chest from terror, I nodded. The words "I… I don’t know if I can do this," I said, hardly raising my voice above a whisper.With his hands firmly grasping

Melissa’s POVI could hear the Void laughing louder than before. I could hear my parents' gentle, begging voices all around me. These sensations were brutally genuine.Once more, my mother's warm and comforting voice said, "Melissa, sweetie." "You've shown such strength. Simply let go. I swear, we'll be together.I closed my eyes tightly, my fingers whitened from holding on to the celestial blade. Every statement made my heart hurt, but something wasn't quite right.I shook my head and whispered, "You're not real." "You're not real."My father's forceful but gentle voice retorted, "But we are." "Have you not missed us?" We have always kept an eye on you.I stumbled, my chest constricted. "Why didn't you stop this if you were watching? Why didn't you spare me this suffering?"The closer the Void leaned, the brighter its crimson eyes shone. "Because, little wolf, they couldn't." Now they are a part of me. Do you not see? You could stop this suffering by joining them.With the sound of a

Melissa’s POVI had the impression that I was weightless and floating in a sea of silver mist. Even though my body hurt, it felt distant, like a dim recollection. I looked about, attempting to figure out what was going on. The mist whirled around me, chilly and gentle but somehow reassuring."Where am I?" My voice echoed through the infinite emptiness as I whispered.In the distance, a soft light emerged, getting closer and stronger. As it got closer, I could see a figure glorious and glowing. Like the shine of the moon on a chilly, lonely night, her presence infused the room with warmth and sadness.The person said, "Melissa," in a quiet but firm voice. "At a crossroads, you are."My heart was racing as I gazed at her. "Who are you?"With piercing yet compassionate silver eyes, she answered, "I am the Moon Goddess." "Child, you have shown courage in your fight. However, your trip is far from over.I inhaled deeply as my thoughts raced. "What brings me here? What took place?With a hi

Melisa’s POVI was standing in an area I hadn't been in years, and the air was icy and abrasive. It was the house I grew up in, the walls familiar but warped, like a dream I just vaguely remember. When I realized where I was, my heart began to race."No," I said, taking a step back. "Not this. Anything else than this.The shadows grew deeper as the room twisted. All of a sudden, I was not alone. My parents' features were a mix of regret and rage as they stood in front of me.My mother said, "Melissa," in a quiet but aloof voice. "You left us behind. When we most needed you, you were gone."What? I shook my head and mumbled. "That is untrue! You sided with those who harmed me, which is betrayal!"With a stern gaze, my father took a step forward. And you took off running. You ignored your family rather than dealing with the hurt.My eyes filled with tears as their words struck a deep chord. A part of me understood that what they said was true, even if I wanted to yell and dispute. I had
