THE LUNA WHO RUINED HER MATE.
The air hummed with a residual power, the echo of the creature that had died here guarding its treasure.
Elidra stopped before the dais. She looked at the knife, then at the skeleton. “A guardian,” she whispered.
“Of what?” Cassian’s eyes scanned the empty chamber. But Elidra knew. She felt it in the pull low in her belly, in the way the child shifted, turning toward the white blade. This was not a weapon for war. The carvings on the wall told a story. She traced them with her eyes. Two wolves, the cord of light between them. Then, the cord is cut by a third figure, a sorrowful giant, a dragon? using a white blade. Not to destroy, but to separate. To prune a branch so the tree could live.
