บททั้งหมดของ Luna Eclipse: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

POV: LunaCole's advanced combat class starts the morning after the amulet incident.I'm still shaken from the vision, but I force myself to show up. Missing class would only make me look weaker.The training grounds are different from the ones Ryder uses. These are deeper in the forest, hidden behind additional wards. More private. More intense.Only ten students were selected for this advanced course. Me, Nova, Darius, and seven others. All second years or above who showed exceptional ability.Cole is waiting when we arrive. He's dressed in simple training gear, but there's something about the way he carries himself that commands attention."Welcome to advanced combat," he says. "This isn't like your regular classes. Here, we don't pull punches. We don't hold back. You will be pushed to your absolute limits and beyond."He paces in front of us like a predator sizing up prey."Combat isn't just about strength or speed. It's about instinct. About reading your opponent. About syncing yo

POV: LunaThat night, I dream.But it's different from normal dreams. Sharper. More real.I know immediately that the goddess is involved.I'm standing in Silverwood. But not the Silverwood I know.This version is brighter. Softer. The buildings glow with gentle light. The trees are silver instead of green. The sky is neither day nor night but something beautiful in between.The otherworld.I turn slowly, taking it in.And then I see him.Miguel.He's standing by the Moon Circle, looking exactly as I remember. Alive. Whole. At peace."Luna," he says, and his voice breaks me.I run to him. Close the distance in seconds.When I reach him, I don't know what to do. Hug him? Touch him? Make sure he's real?"It's okay," he says gently. "I'm real. Well, as real as I can be here.""Where is here?""The otherworld. The place between life and death." He smiles. "The goddess let me visit you. Just this once. To say the things I couldn't say before."Tears stream down my face. "I'm so sorry. For e

POV: LunaAfter the incident with the sigils, I can't sleep.Every time I close my eyes, I hear that voice."When you fail, I'll be waiting."The certainty in those words haunts me.Like failure is inevitable. Like I'm destined to fall into whatever trap is being set.So instead of sleeping, I head to the library.It's well past midnight. The building should be locked. But Lyric gave me her access codes for emergencies.And this feels like an emergency.I need to understand what's happening. Need to find some clue about who's calling me and why.The library is empty and eerily quiet.Moonlight streams through the high windows, casting long shadows between the stacks.I head straight for the restricted section.If there are answers anywhere, they're here.I'm searching through Eclipse texts when I hear footsteps.I freeze, ready to hide.But it's just Sienna."I thought I might find you here," she says softly. "Couldn't sleep either?""How did you know I'd be in the library?""Because t

POV: LunaIt happens three nights after the Moon Circle ceremony.I'm sleeping when my mark begins to burn.Not the usual warmth. Not even the hot pulse I've gotten used to.This is different.This is pulling.I wake up gasping, clutching my wrist.The Eclipse symbol is glowing so bright it illuminates the entire room."Luna?" Nova sits up in her bed. "What's happening?""I don't know. My mark. It's—"The pull intensifies.Suddenly I'm not in my bed anymore.I'm standing.But not in my dorm. Not anywhere at Silverwood.I'm in a place between places. A space that's neither here nor there.The otherworld."No," I say out loud. "I didn't choose this. I'm not ready for—""The mark chooses," a voice says.The goddess appears before me. Made of moonlight. Beautiful and terrible."I didn't consent to this," I tell her. "You warned me about visiting the otherworld. About the consequences.""I did. And those warnings remain. But this is not your choice. This is your trial." She gestures around

POV: LunaThe next morning, Nurse Willow insists I come to the medical wing for a full examination."After the amount of magical energy you channeled last night, I need to make sure you haven't damaged anything," she says firmly.So I find myself lying on a medical bed while she runs various diagnostic spells over me.Her expression grows more concerned with each test."What's wrong?" I ask."Nothing's wrong, per se. But your body is adapting to magic it shouldn't have access to yet." She shows me a magical scan of my energy channels. "See these? They're significantly enlarged. More like a fourth year than a second year. Your body is restructuring itself to accommodate higher power levels.""Is that dangerous?""Potentially. If it happens too fast, you could burn yourself out. Your physical form might not be able to keep up with your magical growth."She makes me stay in the medical wing for observation. At least for the day.I protest, but she's immovable.So I'm stuck in a recovery b
