All Chapters of Echoes of Moonfire: Chapter 201 - Chapter 207

~Omniscient The invisible hand around Ivy’s throat tightened until stars burst at the edges of her vision. She kicked against nothing, clawing at the air, but Caelum’s magic held her high, her body thrashing helplessly. Around her, Aeron was on his knees, choking, his wolf form flickering like a flame under rain. The Obsidian guards writhed on the floor, gasping, their weapons clattering uselessly from limp fingers. Eira pressed against the bars of her cage, her palms raw from striking the runes that burned her every time she tried. “No! Leave her!” she screamed, her voice hoarse. Her daughter dangled before her, eyes wide, lips turning blue. She slammed her hands against the cage again, ignoring the searing pain. If she could just break free, if she could just— Caelum’s eyes gleamed red as blood. “Enough of this charade,” he said, his voice echoing like a god’s decree. “I will end it now. I have no use of you all. It’s not all any of you will be alive to see the world I’m going

It wasn’t kind. It wasn’t real. His teeth looked too sharp in the dim light.“This,” h

~Omniscient POV The sky was breaking. Black veins of shadow coiled across the heavens, swallowing the sun until only a dying sliver of gold bled through. Below, the world groaned — rivers stilled, mountains cracked, and the wind itself seemed to beg for mercy. At the center of it all hovered Kyle, arms outstretched, his form wrapped in an endless tide of darkness. Every breath he took sent ripples through the clouds. The ground trembled with each pulse of his power. Far beneath him, Aeron and Ryan shouted orders, ushering people through the flickering portals of light that led to safer ground and high above them — ascending through the dying light — Eira and Caelum rose together. They said nothing at first. Just floating towards Kyle to try in a last ditch attempt to stop him from ending all life as they knew it. Eira’s white hair streamed behind her like a comet’s tail, her eyes glowing with a brilliance that defied the gathering dark. The magic beneath her skin hummed like the
