CHAPTER 21 - THE SWORD OF ETERNITYTime seemed to stop as Luna reached for something from beneath her dark cloak. With trained and cold movements, she put on the black mask that covered half her face, concealing the blue eyes that once radiated warmth and love. The mask made her look like a figure from a nightmare—strange and terrifying.I stood frozen, staring at the figure who was once my little sister, always chasing me around the yard. Luna, who used to cry at the sight of a dead ant, now stood before me with a murderous aura."Luna, please," I whispered with a trembling voice, tears streaming down my face. "Don't do this. I'm your sister. I'm Aria, the one who always protected you."But Luna didn’t respond. Her hand moved to her waist, pulling out something that made my breath catch in my throat. A sword—but not just any sword. The elegant metal handle emitted a dazzling blue light as she activated it. A blade of li

CHAPTER 22 - BATTLE IN THE DARKThe sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the dark forest path. Only the full moon illuminated the terrain around us, but its light seemed insufficient to chase away the growing shadows of fear that were steadily consuming us. Every breath I took felt heavier, and I could feel my body weakening, as though I had lost a part of myself after the encounter with Luna and the Sword of Eternity.Kael still stood beside me, his gaze never leaving the direction of the forest where the hunters and Luna had disappeared. Since that incident, we had spoken little. Only silence filled the space between us, a silence that trapped me further in uncertainty and anxiety. Luna—my sister—was no longer the person I knew. She had changed, and I no longer knew how to save her."We need to go," Kael finally said, his voice low but firm.I nodded, though I felt my body wanting to stay in this place. I wanted to wait,

CHAPTER 23 – TRACES OF TRUTHThe small campfire inside the cave was beginning to die down, leaving only orange light flickering across the stone walls. I sat leaning against Kael, my body still weak, as if the last remnants of the Moon Witch’s power had truly vanished from my veins. Outside, the sounds of the night forest grew even quieter, as if the whole world was holding its breath, waiting to see what would happen next.Marcus sat not far from us, the wound on his arm already wrapped in clean cloth by Elena. He stared toward the cave entrance, his jaw tightening every time a branch snapped outside. Elena herself was busy checking our medicine supplies, glancing at me now and then with a worry she couldn’t hide.Kael pulled his jacket tighter around my shoulders. “We have to stay here until dawn. The hunters might still be roaming the forest,” he whispered softly.I nodded, suppressing a shiver that I coul

CHAPTER 24 – IN LUNA’S SNAREThe mountain wind that night felt sharper than ever, piercing skin and bone. Inside the ancient temple, Kael and I stood face to face within a circle of light cast by the altar crystal. Our hands were clasped, blood slowly dripping from the cuts on our palms, staining the stone surface and merging in the silver and gold glow. Elena and Marcus stood on the outer edge of the circle, keeping vigilant watch, while ancient chants flowed softly from my lips and Kael’s.I could feel the power of the Moon Witch and the Alpha beginning to merge—a pull of energy so strong it was almost painful, as if my whole body was about to split apart. In the swirling light, I glimpsed shadows of the past and the future, possibilities dancing at the edge of consciousness. There was hope, there was destruction, and between them, the ever-present face of Luna.Kael looked at me, his eyes filled with conviction. &ldquo

CHAPTER 25 – WINGS REIGNITEDI stared at the silver knife in Luna’s hand, my breath coming in short gasps. Around me, the scent of metal and dark incense pressed against my chest. The hunters outside the room began shouting, their boots pounding on the wooden floor, adding to the panic in my heart. I knew that if this ritual succeeded, I would lose everything—Kael, Elena, Marcus, even Luna herself. But if I fought back, I could lose my life.Luna bowed her head, her tears falling onto my bound hands. “Forgive me, Aria. I have no other choice.”I held my breath, trying to calm my racing heart. That’s when something strange happened. In the midst of despair and fear, I felt a warm vibration on my wrist—right above the wing symbol that had always marked my Moon Witch power. A faint silver light began to seep out, slowly growing brighter, until it finally blazed like an ember in the darkness.Luna fro

CHAPTER 26 – TEMPORARY SHELTERThat morning, the city was still wrapped in a thin mist and the bustling sounds of a market coming to life. I walked along the sidewalk, head down, doing my best not to attract attention. The borrowed jacket and cap still clung to my body, hiding most of my face. Every step felt heavy, as if the weight of the past and the fear of the future pressed on my shoulders. Still, I knew I had to keep moving. The hunters were surely still searching, and Luna… I had no idea what had happened to her after I left.I stopped in front of the city market. Rows of stalls and vendors lined up neatly, full of color and noise. The aroma of fresh vegetables, warm bread, and spices mixed with the scent of passing bodies. I held my breath, trying to calm my frantic heartbeat. I needed a phone. I had to contact someone who could help me—and the only name that came to mind was Dr. Hayes.I walked slowly between the stal

CHAPTER 27 – LOST TRAILThat morning, a thin mist still blanketed the mountain forest as Kael slowly opened his eyes. The world around him was blurry, the sounds of birds and the whisper of wind mixing with the throbbing pain at his temples. The scent of metal and lingering ritual incense still hung in the air, but there was something else—a sharp, sweet smell clinging to his senses, remnants of the hunters’ tranquilizer poison.Kael tried to sit up, his body heavy and his muscles stiff. He swept his gaze around: the stone altar at the center of the temple was in disarray, the ritual crystal cracked, and the protective circle had vanished. On the floor, Marcus and Elena lay not far from him, their breathing heavy but slowly evening out. But what made Kael’s chest tighten most was the fact that Aria was not there. Nor was Luna.Guilt hit Kael instantly. He

CHAPTER 28 – BETWEEN RESTLESSNESS AND HOPEMornings at the animal clinic always began with a chorus of noise. Barking dogs, purring cats, and the occasional squawk from a chatty parrot formed the backdrop to my new routine. I had been living and working under Dr. Sarah’s guidance for almost a week. Every day, I learned something new—from cleaning cages, giving vitamin shots, to calming frightened kittens. Slowly, I was getting used to this simple, loving life.Dr. Sarah was unlike anyone I had ever met. She always smiled, spoke gently, and never tired of sharing her knowledge. There was something in the way she treated animals—and people—that made me feel accepted, even without words. I knew she wasn’t an ordinary human. There was a faint, warm magical aura around her. Maybe that’s why I could feel safe here, at least for now.Every morning, before the clinic opened, Dr. Sarah always prepared herbal tea

CHAPTER 29 – THE CALL OF BLOOD AND SHADOWSI woke before dawn, my body still heavy even though I’d slept soundly that night. The familiar scent of herbs and antiseptic from Dr. Sarah’s animal clinic hung in the air, but this morning, something felt different—a kind of restlessness clung to my skin, making it hard to breathe freely. I sat on the edge of the small bed in the back room of the clinic, staring at the wing symbol on my wrist. Its silvery glow was almost gone, but I knew the power hadn’t truly faded. It was only waiting, just like me.I’d been hiding here for almost a week, living a simple routine: caring for animals, cleaning cages, learning from Dr. Sarah about herbal concoctions that could mask my aura. Every morning, I drank the bitter potion she gave me, hoping the hunters would lose my trail. But last night, I had a strange dream—the full moon hung low in the sky, and the sound of wolves howling

CHAPTER 30 – THE CLIMAX OF MEETING AND THE SHADOWS OF TRUTHA thin mist still hung among the trees when Aria and Kael finally stopped in the middle of the forest. Their breaths were still ragged, remnants of their escape and tension not yet fully faded. All around them, the sounds of birds and the whisper of the morning wind created a soothing symphony of nature, as if the forest itself wanted to give them space to breathe.Aria sat atop the root of a large tree, hugging her knees. Kael sat beside her, quietly observing Aria’s face, which looked tired yet still held a spark of spirit. He reached for Aria’s hand, gripping it tightly.“Aria, are you alright?” Kael’s voice was soft, full of concern.Aria looked at Kael, her eyes clouded with exhaustion and anxiety. She nodded slowly, though her heart was still in turmoil. “I... I’m tired, Kael. But I know I can’t keep hiding. I have to face Luna, no matter what. She’s my sister. I can’t let her be destroyed alone.”Kael fell silent for a
