The Atmosphere Prior to the DownfallThe sky above the Moon Temple darkened to a deep shade of violet, as if the universe itself anticipated the impending events. Luna stood on the balcony of the upper chamber, her hands gripping the chilly stone railing while the wind tossed her cloak behind her. The Heartstone throbbed beneath her skin—warm, restless, and almost quivering. It had remained quiet since the ritual, resonating softly like a heart at rest after exertion… but tonight, its tempo felt off.Something awaited them.She sensed it before spotting Rowan quietly entering the chamber. His presence enveloped her like comforting warmth amidst a winter storm. “You feel it as well,” he said, his voice low and serious.Luna kept her gaze forward. “The Heartstone is unsettled. It keeps warning me, but the message isn't clear.” She let out a shaky breath. “It’s as if… I hear whispers in a language I nearly comprehend.”Rowan moved closer to her, surveying the quaking horizon. “Kai has di

The Echo That Split the NightThe night over Silvercrest was unnaturally quiet. There was no breeze, no moonlight—just the faint hum of the barrier that Rowan had fortified earlier. Aiden sensed it first—a tremor in the atmosphere, an anomaly that felt out of place. Standing at the overlook tower, his muscles coiled tight, and his gaze was intense. Something was approaching. Luna ascended the steps behind him, her breath stable despite the fatigue from their earlier training session. “You sensed it too,” she murmured. Aiden remained facing forward. “It’s not a patrol. It’s not a wandering spirit. This feels different.” His wolf was restless beneath his skin, growling in agitation.Before Luna could inquire further, Rowan and Kai emerged, both visibly on edge. Rowan’s eyes emitted a faint glow as he pointed toward the horizon. “The Heartstone’s alarm has been continuous since noon. Whatever is approaching… it defies nature.”Luna stepped closer. “Is it them? The corrupted ones?” “No

The Burden of an Ascending MoonThe atmosphere surrounding Luna felt oppressive—thick enough to suffocate—as the final remnants of the Heartstone’s pulse faded into stillness. She found herself standing at the heart of the ancient chamber, her breath uneven, her body quaking as if every bone within her pulsed with a peculiar, glowing ache. Sweat trickled down her brow, and her hands trembled violently, as if attempting to restrain a force far beyond their capacity.Rowan was immediately by her side. “Luna—focus on me.” His voice was firm yet strained, concealing the anxiety that seeped through the fissures of his composure. He gently cradled her face, his thumb grazing the shudder at her jaw. “You’re on fire.”Kai hovered just behind him, concern etched on his features. “This isn’t usual,” he murmured. “Her aura keeps fluctuating—first silver, then dark, and now… something else.”Luna swallowed hard as another surge crashed over her. It wasn’t exactly pain—more like pressure, buil

When the Moon QuakesAs soon as Rowan reentered the clearing, the atmosphere shifted—sharp and electric, vibrating with a tension Luna sensed before she could see him. His energy throbbed intensely, not with rage… but with something deeper, heavier, something that made her skin prickle. Behind him, the trees seemed to shrink back, branches bending as if bowing to the tempest he bore.Kai tensed beside her.“Something’s not right,” he whispered.Rowan approached without a word, but Luna could read it clearly in his eyes—the conflict, the dread he was struggling to suppress. She stepped closer to him. “Rowan… what happened?”His jaw clenched. He flicked his gaze between Luna and Kai, and for a moment, it seemed he might completely shut down. But then Rowan exhaled unsteadily and spoke.“The Council intercepted another message,” he revealed. “It wasn’t meant for them. It was meant for him.”Luna’s heartbeat faltered. “You mean—”“Yes,” Rowan interrupted. “The Shadow King.”Kai’s hand mov

The chamber descended into a quivering stillness.Luna stood in the middle of the illuminated circle, the Heartstone gently thumping beneath her skin. The surrounding walls glimmered with ancient symbols that grew brighter with each breath she took, as though acknowledging her presence… or issuing a warning.Rowan stepped forward cautiously, his face a mix of wonder and trepidation. Kai lingered a few paces behind, his hand resting on his dagger's hilt, not out of threat—out of instinct. A dense weight hung in the atmosphere, something they all sensed but couldn’t quite identify.“Luna,” Rowan spoke softly, “your aura… it’s shifted again.”She swallowed hard. “I’m aware.”Her voice quivered more than she had planned. Ever since her abilities surged at the Moon Temple, she sensed something within her—something fierce, unsettled, whispering secrets she wasn’t prepared to confront.Rowan held out his hand toward her. “Share with me. Don’t close me out.”“I’m not closing you out,” she mur
