Kira From The Dark Crystal Novels & Stories

I repeated my earlier statement. The cabinet members still couldn't believe what they were hearing. They looked at each other in confusion and bewilderment. Then they looked at me like I was insane. Even Rachel was shocked to her bones. Her eyes were fixed on me like she had seen a ghost. She didn't blink once. "Do you understand what you're saying, Crystal?" Luna Cersera finally asked after moments of silence. "I understand that I don't want to be mated to him, so yes" I replied immediately.

Starlight crystallization sites had been identified and were being monitored for the next lunar eclipse. Lerder was sixty-three now, silver-haired and weathered, but still leading the coalition with the same determination he'd brought to the war decades before. Kira had died two years prior—peacefully, in her sleep, after a good life lived fully. And Eira, now twenty-six, had become one of the lead researchers on the reconstitution project. His daughter had never given up on bringing Elara back, despite knowing what it meant for her parents' relationship. "Another five years," she told him one evening as they reviewed progress reports. "Maybe less if the eastern negotiators can speed up the

A cold chill slid down my spine. “You can’t do this,” I said, shaking my head. “You can’t just erase me! I belong to this pack!” I twisted against the guards’ grip. “I’m the Luna! The daughter of the late Beta! I had a sister—a father—damn it!” They flinched, exchanging looks of practiced concern, but I saw past the performance. They were pleased. “Kira is responsible,” I snarled, locking eyes with her. A ripple of unease moved through the crowd. Good. “You’re pulling the strings. You’re—”

Her eyes held stillness. She bowed low before the class. “I am called Kira,” she said. “I was not chosen by blood, but by dream. I saw her face before I knew her name. And today, I carry her story.” One of the younger boys raised a hand. “You’re Flameblood?” he asked. “No,” Kira said softly. “Umbra?” She smiled. “No.” “Then what?” She stepped forward, spreading her fingers. Ash curled around one hand, golden light in the other.

She slept most of the next day. Not the restless, fitful sleep she had endured since the pregnancy pains began, but a deep, heavy slumber that worried me more than any scream could have. The healer assured me it was necessary—that whatever power Krystal had drawn on during the attack had drained her far beyond what her body was used to holding. “She did not merely defend herself,” Elder Maeve told me quietly. “She awakened something.” I hadn’t left Krystal’s side. Not when the healers came and went. Not when my council demanded answers. Not even when reports of the rogue interrogation arrived at my door.

Mother Lucia gripped her hands while the crystal stayed in between them. "Oh, Lady Hecate. I beg of you this time, please reverse all that which might have happened and give a second chance to your descendants." Kira chanted alongside her. "Derivare in universum!" Mother Lucia yelled and the Oval shaped crystal turned.

They turned back around, then burst into loud, mocking laughter that echoed through the cramped wooden cage. “I’m not joking!” I insisted, leaning forward as far as the chains allowed. “My father is truly the Beta of Respawn Pack. I am Kyra Nightingale, the future Luna of Respawn Pack. I’m Alpha Prince Killian’s betrothed. You have to believe me!” They glanced at each other and laughed even harder.

I guessed and pointed at the tall man with tattoos and ear piercings, “I think you are Alpha Kai’s?” She smiled, “Good girl, you guessed right.” I feel happy to get on her good side, and another one, a female with blonde hair and blue eyes butted in. She had ocean blue eyes that I felt like drowning in, “I am Kira. The Queen of the Witch realm.” I couldn’t believe that a creature this beautiful existed, she took my breath away, “Wow, you’re so beautiful.” I can’t help but comment. She chuckled, her cheeks reddening and I felt my heart warming at her sight. She has this cute charismatic charm that pulls you in and I couldn’t explain how.

Kira gently coaxes Whisper out of her hiding place in her pocket, and she flits over to me, hovering above my hand. "This is Whisper, an ancient Luminari, a being of light and magic. She's been with me for centuries, waiting for the right person to take care of her, she was meant for you." "OMG! Kira! She is a magical being! and mine? I love her Thank you!" she flutters onto my shoulder hiding in my hair.

I could feel my bones shrinking, then I heard a crack that sent me straight to my knees. Shit, that hurt. “Kira,” I said, slightly in pain. “Let me go.” When I looked up to finally meet her eyes, the Kira I knew was no longer there. Her blue eyes were shining, just like titanium, almost to the point that it was blinding. Her hair was also glistening brighter the sun and she had a smirk on her face, the kind that sent chills down your spine. Who the fuck is this?
