All Chapters of Luna’s Rebellion : Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Elara Kael’s scream is the sound that breaks me. Not the power burning through my veins. Not the cracks crawling across the throne hall like a spiderweb of ruin. Not even the Veilborne’s laughter ringing like chimes of bone through the void. It’s him. Choking on blood. Sliding down the Veilborne’s arm like a broken blade. And I can feel him through the bond—silver fire dimming, shadows bleeding away like spilled ink. “KAEL!” My voice doesn’t echo. It detonates. The air rips apart. The floor disintegrates under my feet. My power flares so violently the walls turn to glass for a heartbeat before shattering into dust. The Veilborne tilts its head, amused, its arm still speared through Kael’s chest. His breath rattles wet and shallow against its shoulder. “Don’t look so grim,” it croons, voice soft as poison. “You always wanted him close.” Something inside me snaps. The bond doesn’t just blaze—it becomes a sun collapsing and exploding all at once. Light and shado

Elara Falling shouldn’t feel like this. It isn’t wind tearing past me, or weight dragging me down. It’s like being pulled through silk—soft, clinging, endless. Like the world forgot what “down” means, so it decided to fold me into itself instead. Light flashes. Not gold, not silver—something older. Something that hums like blood remembering how to burn. And then— I stop. Not because I hit ground. Because the falling stops falling. I’m floating in a place that isn’t a place. The air isn’t air. It’s a weave of threads—thousands, millions—stretching in every direction, vanishing into black and white and colors that shouldn’t exist. Some threads glow. Some bleed shadow. Some flicker like dying stars. And in the center of it all, I see it. The Core. It’s not a thing you can touch. It’s a pulse. A heartbeat too big for sound, thrumming through every thread until my bones vibrate with it. And gods— It feels like me. Like every piece of me that ever broke just snap

Kael The Core burns like a wound in the dark. It thrums under my skin, a pulse that isn’t mine but wants to be. Threads whip past, white-hot, cutting shadows from my flesh. They don’t want me here. The Weave hates me for walking this far. Good. I’ve never been where I was wanted. Every step is blood in the fabric. I feel it splitting—tiny rips that sound like screams only gods can hear. Shadows cling tighter, drinking the hurt, but they’re thinning. I’m feeding everything I am into moving forward. And then— I see her. Suspended in the Core’s blaze, arms outstretched, light biting into her veins like molten wire. Hair flaring like sunfire, eyes shut tight as if she’s dreaming a nightmare too heavy to wake from. “Elara.” Her name tears out of me like a blade. My knees almost buckle, because this—this is what the Core wanted. To make her the center of it all. To make me choose. Behind me, the mirror god murmurs, soft as broken glass: “Take one step closer, and she i

Elara The silence should feel empty. It doesn’t. It’s heavy. Pressing on my lungs like wet velvet, thick with the weight of a world that’s been gutted and left to bleed. The threads drift around us, glowing faintly like veins ripped from a god’s corpse, their light twitching as if it hasn’t realized it’s dead. Kael and I hover in the wreckage, tethered to nothing. His arms are still around me, tight enough to bruise—if bruises even exist now. His breath rasps against my temple, warm and uneven, and every exhale feels like a confession. “What… is this place?” My voice comes out small, strangled, as if sound doesn’t belong here. He looks around, jaw clenched. Shadows leak from his skin in sluggish curls, slow and tired, like they’ve forgotten how to move without war to feed on. “This,” he mutters, eyes hard and golden in the dark, “is what’s left when you tear the heart out of the Weave.” I swallow. The taste is wrong. Like rust and lightning and something sweet rotting underneat

Elara The void doesn’t open so much as rip. Like the world is paper, and something sharp and alive slices straight through it. We fall. Not for long—because there’s no down here. Only the sensation of being dragged inside out, as if my bones are unraveling thread by thread, pulled into some gaping nothing between existence and annihilation. Kael’s hand clamps around mine. Hard. That’s the only anchor I have—his grip, blood-slick and trembling, the heat of it shocking against the cold that devours everything else. “Elara—” His voice is raw, shredded by the void’s howl. “Don’t let—go—” As if I could. As if I’d ever— The dark splits again. This time, light spears through it—not gold, not sunlit warmth, but something pale and merciless, burning like frost on glass. It slices past us in jagged arcs, and every strike peels another layer of reality away. And then— I see it. The Veilborne. Or what’s left of it after Kael’s firestorm. It’s still here, clinging to the threads of t
