Iko Lunar Chronicles Novels & Stories

Lucille pushed me forward encouragingly. “She is the future Luna of the eclipse pack. Alison Walker mate of Drake Black.” My words fell silent. Lucille’s smiling complexion sliding from her face in an instance as she realised what I was saying. Even Estelle seemed to have gathered what I was talking about. “You can’t.” Lucille whispered in horror. “I have to. There is no other option.” “The Goddess would not ask this of you.” Lucille spoke with conviction.

Lucinda can also be short for Lucia. My mother was the one who ended the war. The savior, whom they called the Moon Goddess, had silver hair, ended the war with the demons, and then disappeared for 500 years. My mind was about to be fried when I put the pieces together, all the evidence leading towards my mother. She's not only the princess of Altera but the Moon Goddess!

The death of Master Levi and Teacher Ailene must have reached Faline Liu and Iwaoka by now. "You have nothing to worry about, Lucian," Jucel assured in a small voice that only him could hear. She was smaller than him so he had to look down at her. The silver-haired woman turned her head to him and smiled. "Chloe Rein is the star. But she couldn't shine if she stayed in the daylight. So, I can be the night." Lucian was nonplussed. His eyes were wide open and his mouth were slightly agape in surprise. He then smiled and nodded in understanding. Both Lucian and Jucel turned back to the training ground, gazing at the third brightest star of Orion, Bellatrix.

“I think even Elliott no longer believes it—and he’s only ten.” Elliot Calloway growled again. He was in the same class as I was. Calm, reserved, and kind, but he always followed his cousin, Drake, along. One minute he would sit with me at lunch, and the next, he would join this group to laugh at me. “No, no, I agree with Nathan!” Selene said excitedly. “The Moon Goddess can tell us who we are mated with.” “Boo-hoo,” mocked Drake. “But, well, it is better than being here. Full Moon celebration is boring.”

The woman let out a long sigh, a pleasure to be had from a professional player like Kyros. “Kyros, kill him,” a faint whisper awakened Kyros' fantasy. “Don't get carried away! Remember your mission from the Alpha. Kill him before the supermoon cycle comes!” Rula is still with her fantasy, grabbing Kyros' sexy lips and crushing them fiercely. Light claps of passion filled the room. Kyros couldn't refuse either. He resigned himself to Rula's service. This woman is just doing her job for what she is paid for. “General Kyros!” The whisper grew stronger. "You don't have much time!"

Eurie was silent at first, then Kaizer added, "Well, I agree that that story is corny and childish. I believe more on what our scholars say – it was a phenomenon that happens when our bigger moon, the Lucere, overlaps his partner making the smaller moon unseen to us," Kaizer was cut when he saw that Eurie was silently chuckling. He suddenly got pissed. "What's so funny!" he asked annoyingly. "Well, it's cute," Eurie said amidst her chuckles. Kaizer just eyed her, blushing with anger and shame. Because Eurie's gag was unstoppable, Kaizer interrupted her.

Leo shouted from the far end of the spiral. He ran back, carrying a sphere that pulsed with a dark, rhythmic violet light—the same color as the star in the moon. "It’s a record from the Ninth Cycle," Leo said, his eyes wide. "It says the Chronos-Silver wasn't meant to be a weapon. It was a bridge. It was used to keep the Alphas from the past connected to the future. But the Weaver corrupted the formula". He tapped the sphere, and a holographic image of the Chronicler appeared—but she looked younger, her silver eyes filled with an ancient grief.

"The Moon is not a weapon, Leo. It is a 'Cocoon.' When it strikes the Earth, the two worlds will merge into a 'Stellar-Wolf', the ultimate lifeform." ​"At the cost of seven billion lives?" Leo growled, his amber runes turning a blinding, incandescent white. ​"The many are the fuel for the One," Selene smiled. ​The Harmonic Countdown ​"Ren! Timing!" Leo shouted through the neural-link. ​"Giza is in position! Rio is at the Heart-Core!" Ren’s voice was strained. "We have ten seconds! Leo, you have to hit the Neo-Tokyo heart NOW!"

“You are not going to leave, are you?” Cein's smile didn't waver for a second. He adjusted his glasses cutely. “What are you looking for?” Reyna poked her inner cheek in anger and placed her hands on her hip. “The Lunar cycle. Do you have a book about that?” The kid brightened. “Oh, I do. There isn't much written on the lunar cycle because it's believed to be a myth. Follow me.” Reyna watched as the kid turned and walked to another section of the library. She tsked and shadowed him.

The Grand Hall of the Lunar Keep was suffused with an unnatural chill. Moonlight filtered through cracked windows, casting fractured silver beams across the shattered marble floor. Selene stood at the dais, her cloak pooled around her feet like spilled ink, every rune upon her skin pulsing with dread. Ryker knelt beside her, one hand on her belly, the other clenched in the broken stone.
