All Chapters of THE LUNA REBIRTH: REVENGE UNDER THE MOON: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Iris’s TransformationThe battlefield was deathly quiet in the wake of the chasm’s fall. Dust and garbage hung in the air, veiling the moonlight. Aiden stumbled to his feet, his legs shaking beneath him. His breath caught when he saw her.Where Iris once stood, a glowing figure now emerged, and her body changed. The mark on her wrist had spread, golden veins spreading out like complex plants over her arms and neck, pulsing with light. Her eyes glowed with an alien brightness, no longer their normal color but a liquid gold, sparkling with raw power.Aiden whispered, “Iris…?”She didn’t immediately reply, her attention locked on the other figure before her.Malric stepped closer, his silver eyes sharpening with wonder. “Fascinating,” he said, his voice low and aggressive. “I didn’t think you capable of such a change. Perhaps there’s more to you than I gave credit for.”Iris tilted her head slightly, her face unclear. When she spoke, her voice carried dual-nondual toners and one filled w

Call to Action Aiden jolted awake, his heart beating as the faint voice repeated in his ears. It wasn’t just a dream he was sure of it. “She’s alive,” he said aloud, his voice shaking with confidence. The room was still dim, the first rays of dawn barely reaching the horizon. Across from him, Lucian leaned against the doorframe, his face blank.“Aiden, you need to stop,” Lucian said softly, though his tone carried the weight of tiredness. “We all want to believe she’s out there, but—” “She is,” Aiden interrupted, standing suddenly. His fists clenched at his sides. “I heard her, Lucian. She’s living, and she’s waiting for us to find her.”Lucian sighed, his shoulders dropping. “You don’t know that. You’re running on hope, not facts. That’s scary, Aiden.” “I’d rather hold onto hope than sit here doing nothing while she’s out there alone,” Aiden shot back, his voice rising. “Are you going to give up on her that easily?”Lucian winced, shame flashing across his face, but he held his

Proving Worthiness Facing the ChallengeThe room was oppressively quiet as the shadows closed in, their forms moving like smoke yet filled with danger. The air seemed to hum with an alien energy, thick and choking. Aiden’s fingers tightened around the bright shard in his hand, its throbbing light the only comfort in the darkness.A voice, deep and powerful, broke the quiet. “Only the worthy may pass.”The shadows shifted, merging into a single person at the chamber's center. Its outline hardened, showing a huge wolf-like creature with bright crimson eyes and broken, black fur that shimmered like obsidian. Its voice rumbled like faraway thunder. “Prove your strength, resolve, and heart, or face annihilation.”Aiden stepped forward without reluctance. “We’re here for Iris. Whatever test you have, I’ll take it.”Lucian grabbed his arm. “Are you insane? This isn’t just a fight—it’s a death sentence.”Aiden shook him off, his eyes locked on the thing. “If Iris went through this, so can I.”

Danger in Every StepWith the tall trees creating long shadows in the dim moonlight, the forest closed in on them. The crystal on Aiden's chest glowed dimly as he guided the group through the brush. Its throbbing rhythm, which led them but provided little solace, felt alive.Beside him, Lucian jogged, his keen eyes darting between the twisted trunks and the changing shadows. The remainder of the pack dispersed, moving with caution but effective.With his voice barely above a snarl, Lucian whispered, "Something's following us."Aiden nodded without giving him a look. "I sense it too."The snap of a twig beneath their boots was the only sound to break the oppressive silence. The silence was suddenly broken by a rumbling growl.Everybody froze.The shadows themselves appeared to gather from the gloom, taking on hideous forms. Glistening eyes stared at the group as creatures with long limbs and wriggling, fluid shapes appeared. Their growls were low and guttural, reverberating through the

Trial by LightThe Bridge of LivingAs Aiden and the gang came out onto a rocky plateau, the foliage began to shrink. A huge gap lay in front of them, its depths obscured by a never-ending blackness that looked to be pulsing with life. An old bridge stretched across the emptiness, cracked and corroded, its surface shining dimly with complex, shifting patterns.With his hand on his blade, Lucian examined the bridge. "This is where we're headed?"Aiden looked down at the crystal he was holding. Its light became brighter, pulsing against his hand as if it were desperate to get out. Then suddenly it was floating in midair, out of his reach.With a stride toward the bridge, Aiden remarked, "It's testing us.""Exactly testing us for what?" There was a steely edge to Lucian's words. "The whole trip seems like one never-ending trap."Aiden remained silent. He went for the crystal instead, but it sprang forward and positioned itself just above the bridge's first step. He stepped forward cautio
