The Luna’s Revenge
Caelum kept a fire burning low, his sword always within reach, his ears twitching at every sound beyond the falls.
Nyx sat on a stone ledge, the clone asleep nearby, its chest rising and falling like a hollow echo. She had not spoken much since the ritual. Her eyes remained on the flames, but her thoughts were miles away, dragged back to Fernwood, to the chains biting into Theron’s wrists.
She imagined his voice, defiant even in agony. If it shattered in your hands, then the Moon Goddess is against you. She could almost hear him spitting the words into Evander’s face. Her nails dug into her palms at the thought of Evander’s claws tearing him apart in rage.
