Semua Bab THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn: Bab 81 - Bab 90

The forest's dense foliage was illuminated by a pale glow as the moon hung low in the sky.With his senses keen, Bethar led the small group ahead of them along the seldom-traveled path that wound through the dense forest like a serpent. The smell of earth and moss filled the air and the sound of branches rustling revealed secrets that only the forest knew.With a voice hardly audible above a whisper Bethar said, this way as he turned to look at the cloaked figures trailing him. It's a secret path that passes behind the southern edge of Ridgewood. Nowadays very few people use it. That will keep us hidden…Wearing an armored helmet, Selene's body was slightly hunched as she walked among them. Every strand of her white-blonde hair and the distinct features of her face were hidden by the steel's slight glint in the moonlight. Since joining Bethar she had remained silent and only nodded in response to spoken words shrouded in mystery. Being an invisible and unknown phantom among them

With the shadows of Ridgewood enveloping them like a protective cloak. The group moved quickly in the dark. Silence filled the pack and everyone was asleep.The moment was ideal for moving and becoming undetectable in the night. With practiced ease, Bethar guided them. His movements were exact, every look over his shoulder calculating and keen. The others kept to the walls and followed closely, looking around for movement with their heads darting in all directions. They found a small run-down cottage tucked away behind overgrown bushes after making their way around a tight bend between two stone fences. The wooden frame appeared worn from years of neglect and moss clung to its walls like a shroud. Lira's voice was hardly audible. “Where is this place?Lance gestures for silence by bringing a finger to his lips. Frank, Daemon, and Ashton's trained eyes swept the area, ears listening for any noise that might indicate danger. With his fingers exploring the rough surface, Bethar app

A burst of rage surged through Jarred. He just wanted all of Ravena's allies out of the way, starting with Ethan.The warriors around him were on alert, waiting for the intruder to show their face.But before that happens he will send the fool Ethan to the afterlife. "You will meet your end you bastard," Jarred growled then dragged Ethan's head up and placed his gleaming sword on his neck to slit his throat.Ethan's face was bloodied and swollen, his eyes were partly covered. He felt the cold steel pressed against his throat as he breathed laboriously.The steel moved slightly on his skin, and his heart pounded hard against his ribcage as he teetered on the brink of panic and hopelessness.A total resignation to fate as he was outnumbered to fight his way out.He observed the hesitation from Jarred and he glared at him. "Scared, huh? Make it quick, you idiot," Ethan barked harshly. Fuming with rage, jarred eyes burned with hatred. He threw a punch that landed on Ethan's face. Ethan

Panic and tension hung over the pack like a storm cloud.The scent of fear, sweat, and dust hung in the wind.With his feet wide apart and his sword ready, Jarred stood resolutely. Despite his firm grasp, his hands shook a little as he maintained his position, his eyes narrowed in alertness. His eyes never left the scene that was playing out in front of him. Selene tossed the bow across her chest in a single motion, the string twanging sharply against her armor. She yanked the reins with her other hand and kicked the horse's side sharply. Now moving more quickly the horses' hooves pounded the ground like thunder as it charged forward. Eyes fixed on the man ahead, Jarred, the wind ripped through her hair as she rode. Her eyes gleamed in resolve as she rode the horse faster. Ready to strike anyone who dares to stand in her way.Swiftly with ease, she drew her sword from the sheath.In her eyes, determination blazed brightly. The adrenaline rush coursing through her veins caused her

With his head lowered and his body pressed heavily against the stone wall. Seated on the rough ground in the dungeon. Which was cold, moist, and covered in filth.He placed a hand over his bruised jaw and winced in pain. The pain in his side ached with each breath.However, the storm raging in his heart was far worse than the physical pain. He clenched his fists on the cold floor. “I’ve failed you, Ravena,” he said in a low, remorseful whisper. If you were here, none of this would have happened.”Everything he witnessed shattered his heart into tiny bits. Memories flooded his mind, he remembered how he tried to dissuade Ravena from going to rescue Luna Selene.But she was headstrong and believed she was doing the right thing.As he shifted slightly, pain shot through his ribcage and he grimaced, gritting his teeth so hard.A rat scurried past him into the darkness from a crack close to his feet. Ethan hardly blinked. He wasn't bothered by the darkness and the filth. He was plagued
