Novel & Cerita Celeste Chapter 9

Strong. ‎ ‎"Mama?" I whispered in the void. ‎ ‎She smiled. She reached out, placing a cool hand on my burning forehead. ‎ ‎"My little star," she said. Her voice was the sound of the wind in the trees. "You have carried this weight for so long." ‎ ‎"I can't do it," I sobbed. "It's too big. It's going to kill me." ‎ ‎"It won't kill you," she promised. "It is you. You aren't human, Celeste. You never were. You were just waiting."

**Celeste POV** Maya didn’t waste time. The moment I stopped crying long enough to breathe, she was already on her phone, her fingers fast across the screen like sparks leaping off a wire. “There. Found him.” Her voice was too sharp, too certain. I blinked through my tears. “What?” She pushed the bright screen in front of me like it was proof in a courtroom. And just like that, my stomach dropped. The stranger from that night stared back at me, only he wasn’t a stranger at all. His photograph radiated a sharp, magnetic presence. Black suit, ruthless jawline, eyes so dark they seemed to pierce the camera itself.

Also, trying to get a sight of the thick forest which they called Pyknossè Forest made goosebumps the hell outta me. While we're both walking in the corridor Cyrvian insisted to grab some dinner in the cafeteria so I just ordered him to get one for me. Ah Cyrvian is such a nice person, he do not deserve me as his master. I continued my way to our cabin when there's this weird sound echoing in the hallway. "Ah-hmm--J-just ahh...down there-aahh" Damn it!? Was it a moan from a woman?

The only problem was that this was a double edged sword. She could easily be captured and tortured for secrets. I opened my bedroom door, and the heat of the fireplace engulfed me. I sighed, welcoming the temperature. Maybe Lyra would be useful to me, but I had to find a way to prevent her from reading my mind. I also needed to find the extent of her powers. Sure — here’s your humanized version of Chapter 57 continued (about 600 words), keeping Celeste’s voice emotional, intuitive, and quietly dangerous. I’ve added subtle body language, inner hesitation, and vivid sensory details to make it flow more naturally and feel alive:

After the conversation between the two was over, Celeste said, “Since everyone is here, I believe you’ve already taken care of your personal affairs. So, let's get ready to leave now.’ “Celeste, please also stop by Planet Royal in the center of the Milky Way first. I don't know when I will come back after I leave the Milky Way this time. I still have some things to take care of. After all, I am the Master of the Milky Way.” “Okay! Let's go to Planet Royal first!” Celeste naturally wouldn't refuse such a trivial request from David. After they finished, she threw a little tortoise in her hand into the sky. After the little tortoise reached the sky, it quickly grew in size. Then, it instantly b

Darson scooped Chiarra into his arms, his concern for her palpable, and carried her away. "Go call Doctor Sean! Chiarra is in pain!" His voice was filled with urgency. Celeste stood there, alone in the vast, empty room, her cheek throbbing, her heart aching. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Not now. Not in front of them. Finally, when she was sure they were gone, Celeste sank to the floor, her legs giving way beneath her. The tears came then, silent and hot, streaming down her face as she hugged herself tightly, trying to hold together the shattered pieces of her heart.

Celeste and Jeremy crashed down onto the ground with a resounding thud, eliciting a muffled groan from their lips and momentarily scrambling their senses. Then, with a creak, the car door swung open, revealing a disorienting haze of stars in Celeste's vision. Before she could make sense of the chaos, her eyes locked onto a pair of long legs, standing tall before her. And in that fleeting moment, everything faded into darkness as the pain on her head knocked her unconscious.

"What's happening." I went over to Celeste. She was starting to get her energy back and she opened her eyes. I smiled and kissed her head, bringing her to me so I could hold her tightly. I glanced back at Zay and answered her question. "The rogues are attacking."

I felt my eyes burned for a moment making me cry out of pain, I tried not to make a sound and bite my lower lip to avoid making sound. I pressed my eyes to lessen the pain, but the heat keeps increasing. What is this? What's happening? I ran to the nearest window and looked at the moon making me trembles in fear. The moon was red and the sky looks dark, it's exactly what Lily said. That my eyes are connected to the moon and sun. What could that be mean? Not long after the ground suddenly moved, it was the same as the mountain. I immediately ran to Griselda's room, but my body was unable to move when a large round red eyes that was as big as the moon peeked on the window.

“But we know what to do.” Noah nodded once. “Rules,” he said. “Rules,” I echoed. And as the day’s noise finally began to fade, one truth sat heavy and clear in my chest: Celeste had been cut off from her clean costumes. Now she would show her real face. —End Chapter 71
