It was said to contain the fire of fallen stars, pure and deadly. I reached out. Pain lanced up my arm, but I didn’t stop. Smoke seared my lungs. I held my ground, forcing the energy to obey.

The problem was, tonight was the last full moon before the ritual window closed. If I failed tonight, Edward’s chance would fade with it.

Leader Atrix looked at me suspiciously but nodded, “Fine. I trust you. But I hope what's in this is not lizard poop.” I faked a smile and nodded, “It's part of the main ingredients, don't waste it.” Leader Atrix shook her head instantly, “I won't take it.” “You must,” I said as a matter-of-factly, “We already made a deal. You will have two spoonfuls every seven full moons before your mealtime. Now, I must go.” Without any other word, I left and travelled to the border between Red moon and Crescent moon. As promised, I only got there at midnight and the moonlite I saw earlier was there, staring at me in awe.

The colors seem to shift and change as the light catches them, just like the moon's phases. “Perfection cooking,” I commended myself. I poured over ancient texts and celestial maps, studying the patterns of the stars and the moon's cycles. I got ideas from past initiation ceremonies held long ago and had my pick. I created an intricate design featuring crescent moons, stars, and delicate vines, woven together with a subtle, shimmering thread. The pattern seems to dance across the fabric, capturing the celestial ballet. I spent countless hours embroidering intricate details using silver and gray threads, carefully crafting each stitch to resemble the night sky's twinkling stars.

Degas paused, tightening his grip around his cane as he peered out the window. “What were the other four artifacts?” Chris asked, clearly more out of curiosity than much else.

He paused again, and this time, there was a tense silence in the room as he slowly turned around again to regard Chris with a stern glare.

She crouched near the grassy shore and began laying down the items we had gathered from the garden, and some she already had. First, she brought out some moon rose petals, glowing faintly in the dark. Then, she pulled out the quill's feather, a sprig of lemongrass, and lastly, a pinch of bone ash. She reached into her satchel again and pulled out a bowl…well, it looked more like half a coconut shell. From a small leather-covered flask, she poured some clear water into it. The water shimmered under the moonlight. She placed the lemongrass into the bowl which already contained twilight due followed by the bone ash and moon rose petals, and began mashing them together with her fingers. The mixt

The hecatolite will absorb the energy then release it, increasing the outcomes of our sacred rituals.” “Let me guess, you need additional resources for construction?” Lucien drawled, quirking his brow.

I nodded my head in agreement. "Kate bought it," I explain. The mobile was breathtaking really, made completely out of metal and wood, with little moon and star shapes hanging from it.

I turn to her in surprise when I hear an almost depressed tone to her voice. "What's wrong?" I ask, my eyebrow raising as I took in Cassie’s slumped shoulders. She shrugs and forces a smile on her face.

She slowly put me down, panting heavily. She produced a small bottle that seemed to contain a black liquid and handed it to me. I took it from her with questions. "Take that road leading to the stream. Beside the stream, you'll find a cottage hidden in the bushes where you can spend the night. Rub this potion all over your body, it will cloak your scent but would only last for the night. After that, your fate rests on your hand," She explained. I listened to her with tears on my eyes.
