Keepers Of The Moon 소설 & 이야기

They had never seen anything like this before. Aurora stood, and she turned her gaze to Fenrir. "Little one," she said, "you have proven yourself to be a brave and loyal companion. I have a gift for you, one that will protect you and your pack forevermore." She held out her hand, and a small object appeared in her palm. It was a silvery, glowing orb, and it pulsed with power. Aurora placed the orb around Fenrir's neck, and it hung there like a shining pendant. "From this day forward, you are the Guardian of the Moon," she said. "You and your pack will always have the power of the moon at your side. You will be protected, and you will be able to overcome any obstacle that stands in your way."

Everyone, my wolves, the controlled ones, the alphas, just stared up. Jaws open. Kael pushed through the crowd and grabbed my shoulder. “Sophia… what the hell is that?” I knew. From the old shaman stories whispered around campfires. The ones we hoped were just stories. “That’s what the Moon Goddess locked away,” I said, throat dry. “The thing she sealed in the moon when she created us. To stop it from eating the world.” It laughed. Like nails on a chalkboard mixed with breaking glass. Slow. Painful.

“Another vision?” I nodded, swallowing hard. “My mother. She’d warned me about the traitor in the pack.” My voice faltered, in the realization of what she just said. My mother had belonged to a secret order, the Keepers of the Lunar Chosen, who were assigned to protect a prophecy prophesizing a wolf that would unify the packs under the light of the Moon Goddess. Elliot had told me that yesterday, his blue eyes dark as he explained how she’d been slaughtered by Rhys. He'd said that Rhys murdered my parents to prevent the prophecy, but his words seemed unfinished, like a puzzle with pieces missing.

And a voice like ash falling on snow. “I was wondering when you’d finally come, Daughter of Flame.” Kael moved in front of her instantly. “Who are you?” The man smiled. “I am the Keeper. And she is the beginning… and the end.” Lyra stared at him. “You know what I am?” He nodded. “You are the last of the Moonborn. And it’s time you remembered what you were created for.” Before they could speak further, the earth beneath their feet trembled. A howl rose in the distance—not of a wolf, but of something older.

"Someone who can show you that you are the master of the dark, not its servant." We reached the bottom of the spiral stairs, past the rows of ancient books. In the very back, where the light of the torches couldn't reach, the old Keeper was waiting. She was sitting on a pile of crumbling scrolls, her blind, milky eyes fixed on the entrance long before we arrived. "The little moon has arrived," the Keeper rasped, a toothless smile stretching across her face. "And she has broken her cage." Killian stepped forward, shielding Nyx slightly. "She needs to control it. The bracelet is gone. She nearly killed a man today."

Besides, what is normal? “Packing, my love. We need to head home. You have work to do and so do I.” I say to him with a smile on my face and he nods his head and moves to the walk in to start his packing. I grab my mother and write her a note and pass it to her. I can’t have Carter know what I am saying to her. She has created a new song; we need to figure this out. The Blood Moon Pack, the Moonlight Pack, and Fen and Gaia will help us protect the humans.

--- ### The Shadow of the Moon As we walked toward the doors, leaving the warehouse behind, I looked up at the sky one last time. The violet moon was fading, returning to its dull grey color. But as the light died, I saw something moving across its surface. A massive, black shadow. It looked like a hand reaching out to grab the Earth. "What is that?" I asked, pointing upward. The Scavenger woman didn't look up. She kept walking into the snow. "That's the **Collector**," she said. "The machines realized the power spike came from here. They’re sending a 'Maintenance Crew' to fix the leak."

A round of applause followed, and I fought to keep my face impassive, even as the crowd cheered. "I'd also like to take this opportunity to announce something very important, during the course of the mission, the moon goddess has blessed me with a mate, she is currently at the moonfang pack and I have decided to make her the Luna of the moonfang pack, her name is Lyra and I hope to get support from you all.”

A tall male with curly brown hair and brown eyes asked the question. Marcus was standing tall as he answered him, “My name is Marcus. I am Alpha of the Blue Moon pack and these here are my friends. We are looking for the Moon Goddesses White moon warriors as we are in need of their help and I am hoping we came to the right place.” The male that asked the question, narrowed his eyes as he looked Marcus over. “Who opened the passage for you all to enter?” he asked us. Before Marcus could answer, I sidestepped him and stood by his side as I said in a loud and proud voice, “I did.”

I said, laughing disdainfully, “I will take revenge on you, tear you to pieces!” Rowan grinned, saying mockingly, “I look forward to your return, your majesty!” As soon as his words fell off his mouth, his arm swiftly and accurately pierced my chest, precisely digging out my heart. Blooms of blood appeared on the bed sheet, like some kind of cruel artwork. “Moon Goddess, please give me a chance to be reborn!” I silently pleaded, just before my heart was harvested. At this moment, the dazzling full moon suddenly emitted a blinding white light.
