~Omniscient The market had long since folded into quiet shadows and cooling embers when Eira and Ryan began their quiet investigation. Moon Shadow was hidden from the eyes of the world so people disappearing was very odd. The streets that once bustled with life and voices now stretched still and silent under the half-moon’s gaze. The air had the scent of metal and dust, with the distant whisper of a breeze carrying the smell of pine. They walked in slow strides, shoulder to shoulder, the hum of Eira’s crescent mark barely audible beneath her skin. Ryan’s brows furrowed as they stopped before the first shop to be invaded—the one the vendor had told them about. “Nothing seems out of place,” Ryan muttered, stepping over the threshold. He bent low, running his hand along the dusty floorboards. “No signs of struggle. No blood. No magical residue. Nothing. It’s almost as if the trader just…” “…vanished.” Eira’s fingers glided across the counter. The shelf behind it still had jars nea

~Omniscient POV “I never knew how useless it felt to be without powers.” Aeron’s thoughts burned behind his eyes as he sat on a jagged stone, watching Caelum crouch in the dirt and examine tracks with the serenity of a monk. “My wolf is a part of me. A part I’m not sure I can live without. Caelum doesn’t seem to mind… but me? This? Hunting like a mortal for food to appease a group of giant goblins? It’s beneath me. It’s humiliating.” He kicked at a nearby rock, sending it skidding uselessly into a bush. Caelum didn’t look up. “That one almost startled a rabbit.” Aeron scowled. “You’re enjoying this.” “I’m breathing. That’s enough,” Caelum replied simply. “Don’t give me that monk-philosopher nonsense,” Aeron grumbled. “This is ridiculous. We’re cursed, powerless, and babysitting goblins who threatened to eat Brim and Lorian. See what we’ve been reduced to. I am the alpha of Obsidian Moon pack. Hunting animals is beneath me.” “As of now, you’re not an alpha. Yo

~Kade The sunlight was an uninvited guest. It sliced through the slit in the velvet curtains, casting a blade of gold across my eyes and dragging me, irritated and unwilling, from sleep. The obsidian stone walls of my chamber glittered faintly in the light, polished to a shine by servants who knew better than to leave streaks. The room was grand—of course it was. I had made it so. Thick tapestries lined the walls, depicting the ancient battles of Obsidian’s rise. The dark wooden floor had been covered with a woven rug from the Eastern covens—silken and lined with threads of silver. But even grandeur had its limits. The damn sun always found a way in. I shifted, dragging a hand down my face. Beside me, warmth. I turned my head. Lyric. She was curled into me like a vine, her arm slung across my torso, one leg tossed over mine as if she were claiming territory. Her face was pressed against my chest, lips parted slightly in sleep. Her long black hair spilled over her s

~TamarThe camp shimmered with tension.Even before the sun had touched the horizon, the air buzzed with volatile energy. Arcane sigils burned across the earth in patterns only we Horax could read, glowing a soft violet under the weight of the spells we wove. All around me, my soldiers stood ready. Hoods drawn. Blades sheathed. Magic vibrating just beneath the skin.We didn’t speak. Not out of fear—Horax feared nothing—but out of reverence. What we were about to do wasn’t just an assault. It was reclamation.The sky above churned with black clouds, manipulated to cloak our movements. Below it, the invisible veil that hid Moon Shadow pulsed faintly, reacting to our presence. A barrier born of celestial blood. It would not fall easily.I stood at the cliff’s edge, overlooking the flat expanse where the veil shimmered like a heat mirage. I could feel it—the ripple of ancient magic, so thick it tasted metallic on the tongue. This was the spot. I couldn’t see it but the energy I felt in th

~Omniscient “Who’s Aeron?” Lyric asked. Kade hesitated. The word clung to the air between them like ash refusing to scatter. He turned to her slowly, his expression blank—but his eyes burned. “Where did you hear that name?” Lyric blinked, a little thrown by the sharpness in his tone. “I heard some guards mentioning it… I was just curious.” Kade smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Give me the names of the guards.” Lyric tilted her head. “I can’t do that. You’re going to hurt them.” “No, no, no,” Kade said, the grin widening. It was too smooth. Too polished. “I just want to know them so I can tell them to stop disturbing you with their gossip.” She hesitated, then relented. “Neros. Halwin. And… Briar.” Kade nodded, already turning away. “Thank you. Let me go and see them.” “But you haven’t told me who Aeron is,” she call
