Dark Moonstone Of The Covenant นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Xienma felt a surge of awe and wonder, her connection to the ancient magic within her growing stronger with each passing moment. "Welcome, travelers," a voice echoed through the air, deep and resonant. A figure emerged from the shadows, a majestic stag with antlers that seemed to reach the very heavens. Its eyes were filled with a wisdom that seemed to span the ages. "I am Cernunnos, guardian of the Moonstone. To earn the stone, you must pass three trials that will test your bond and individual strengths." Xienma's heart raced as she stepped forward, her voice steady and resolute. "We are ready, Cernunnos. We will face whatever trials you deem necessary to protect our world from Drax's darkn

“Speak the last vow.” She inhaled and declared: “We are Crimson Moon, three hearts, one beat.” I raised her hand; she raised mine. And I watched: The Dawn council had finished. The covenant was made. But peace, true peace was only just beginning.

But as it nestled there, I could feel a source of power coming from it something I had never felt before now. Tonya began at that moment to remove the dome around us. The moonstone now began to glow on my chest and I honestly didn’t know what was happening. “Ah, Tonya.” I said, cutting her off in the middle of her chant as she turned and looked at me with wide eyes and I knew that she too knew something wasn’t right.

“Not a spell of mortal craft. Something older.” She walked from the circle, letting the wind tear through her white cloak. The Inquisitors rose and followed at a cautious distance. They knew better than to speak when Selene’s fury turned inward. At the edge of the ridge, she paused. Below, the fog churned like a living sea. The Covenant’s sightstones—seven obsidian monoliths half-buried in the soil—pulsed faintly, their light dim and confused. Whatever dwelled in that mist had severed their tether to the unseen paths.

He moved through the Citadel's stores with Torven, who had proven to be exactly as useful as his stillness had suggested, a man who needed a clear task and then executed it without drama — and produced a travel package that Renn assessed and declared sufficient with the spare The economy of someone who knew what was sufficient because he had operated with significantly less. Malachar prepared his own contribution. He came to Aurora that evening with a small object — a stone, pale and translucent like the Citadel's walls are small enough to fit in a closed fist. "From the door," he said. "A fragment of the original material. Covenant stone." He held it out to her. "If you encounter The foundi

The water grew dark; it was no longer water but crimson-streaked, glowing unnaturally in the firelight. It was a solemn binding rite. I could smell it in the air—how the energy of the pack shifted as I seemed to hear those vows threading into the heart of Nightshade. And through it all, Lucien never faltered. His eyes bored into each of them, never cruel. When the last oath was spoken, and the final drop of blood fell into the bowl, Orrin lifted it and carried it back to Lucien. Lucien held it before the gathered wolves. "This is our covenant. By oath and blood, they are part of Nightshade. Any who deny it, deny me."

The shockwave rolls through the pack: heads snap down as one, throats bared, knees hitting stone in perfect unison. Even the elders bow. The mountain shudders—distant snow avalanches roaring, howls rising in layered harmony that shakes the stars. The Oracle steps back. Her milky eyes glow brighter for one heartbeat. “The moon has spoken. The flame has answered. Rise, Luna of the Northern Dominion.” I release Maureen’s hand only to lift the crown. Obsidian heavy. Rubies like frozen blood. Moonstone heart catching crimson fire. I place it on her head. It settles perfectly.

I had found the stone in the tunnels while building the room. "Obsidian is born of fire and earth," I told her, fastening it around her neck. "It is a stone of protection. It absorbs the dark so the light can stay pure. Whenever you feel the weight of your power getting too heavy, touch this. Remember that you have a home in the heart of the mountain. And a home in me." Raven touched the stone, her fingers trembling. "I love you, Dominic." "And I love you," I said.

The unmistakable mark of the Fallen. Sariel stepped forward first, kneeling as he presented something cupped carefully in his hands. A crystal gleamed within his palms. The Moonstone. Its pale glow pulsed with immense lunar energy. “Your Excellency,” Sariel said respectfully, bowing his head. “I have acquired the Moonstone so that you may regain your strength fully.” Seeing this, Luna accepted the stone. The moment her fingers closed around it, a surge of cool lunar power flowed through her body. Her mood lifted slightly. “Also, Your Excellency,” another voice spoke. It was Haniel. There was a strange amusement in her tone. Something that no longer suited the former Seraph of Hope and Grace.
