The walls were adorned with murals of hope, and the chatter of patrons filled the air. Bruce takes a seat outside on some old metal chairs while I go grab some sandwiches from the counter inside and pay. I bring the food out along with a coffee and take a seat beside him. As we settled I noticed a radio playing inside and just about make out talks of politics, the war and other snippets of information, someone turns the volume up, a voice breaking through the din announcing that the war is finally over. My heart raced and I looked at Bruce, his eyes lit up with disbelief and joy.

Juliet Somehow, I was back at the cafe, facing Grace's piercing gaze. After I struggled to hold back from crying, which I had been doing a lot these days, Grace managed to convince me to go back to the cafe with her. “So… how about Naomi and Leah?” I asked, not just because I was trying to shift the conversation from me, but because I was curious about the women I used to call my friends. “Leah left the country to manage her mother's farm a year after graduation”, Grace answered.

"I can aim, Draven taught me. I'm unsure if people will see it as a good thing that a Luna knows how to shoot an arrow. I'm guessing everyone else can dance, sing or play an instrument." "Elara, the competition is different; hence, it's a variety, like cooking. A Luna shouldn't fit in a box of the woman who wears a pretty dress, has dinner meetings and nothing else.

Leo Jr. smirked. “She’s not done.” Leo Sr. chuckled. “Good. A war is only interesting when the opponent knows how to fight.” They clinked glasses. Because this was far from over.

The signing of the Lumina Accord brought a deceptive stillness to the valley. On paper, the war was over. In reality, the conflict had simply shifted from the battlefield to the nervous system. While Elara worked to turn Aethel-Luna from a rebel outpost into a functioning capital, a new kind of shadow began to stretch across the streets. This shadow didn't smell of ozone or silver, but of sweet, rotting jasmine.

Leo The vampires came at dawn on the third day, the way they had said they would, and the first thing I learned about war is that it does not feel the way the history says it feels. It does not feel empowering. It does not feel like destiny. It feels like cold air on a sweat-damp neck, and the small irritating fact of a buckle that has not seated properly on the left shoulder of your harness, and the embarrassing realization, halfway down the slope, that you have to pee and there is going to be no good time for the next four hours.
