he whispers. I pull back slightly, showing him the stuffed star. “Look, we found your star. You dropped it.” Newton’s eyes light up with relief as he takes the toy from my hands, holding it close to his chest. “Thank you,” he murmurs, his voice trembling. Luke kneels beside us, his expression softening. “You okay, buddy? You’re not hurt, are you?” Newton shakes his head, his grip on the star tightening. “No, I’m okay. Just scared.”

The sky didn't darken as night arrived; it ignited. The "Planetary Lens" of the Lumina Ring had captured light from a nearby star, but something was off. It wasn't the familiar, steady yellow of a G-type main-sequence sun. Instead, it pulsed with a rhythmic golden-violet hue that matched Kael's heartbeat. Through the lens, the image was clear: the Swarm hadn't destroyed the star. Instead, they had reshaped its corona. Magnetic filaments, millions of miles long, wove together into the form of a massive, snarling wolf.

Wasn't like they'd be missing me anytime soon. Kicking the door shut behind me, I stuffed a greasy slice in my mouth and started down the driveway. The cool night air wrapped itself around, nipping at me through my layers. I hummed around the slice and tossed my head back. Millions of glittering stars twinkled in the dark abyss. The sight was soothing to stare at. There was something comforting about being so far beyond reach, beyond control.

Helena asked, curious to know what he would say. Bruno approached Helena slowly, their faces now just inches apart, and said with a smile, "The faith of the day is to kiss you." Without waiting any longer, he kissed her passionately, and at the exact moment their lips touched, more shooting stars streaked across the sky as if witnessing this special moment. Helena's heart raced as their hands intertwined, making the moment even more magical. They remained lying side by side, gazing up at the stars as they slowly filled the sky, exchanging smiles and caresses. The shooting stars continued to fall throughout the night, bearing witness to the love blossoming between them, a love that seemed to

Chapter 6 Adele Wilson ‘Thank you for the offer, but I don't think it'll be necessary’. My fingers tightened on my phone, heart thudding, and eyes glued to my phone, reading the message that I had typed. “Just give it up, Adele. You're already Chloe and Henry's target. This is the best thing you can do for yourself.” I whispered, wiping the texts. I stayed at the rooftop until it was lunch break, and I headed to the canteen.

The king couldn't see clearly and launched his powers wrongly to the ground. "Die you little thing." The king said aloud as he struggled to see clearly. Star whispered some words from her mouth, invoking a heavy breeze to cloud him, he got stock in the middle of the breeze and the darkness that clouded him. Star quickly drew a circle on the ground and controlled the breeze and darkness that was covering him and threw him into the circle she drew with her powers. "Noo!"

My heart sped up with hope until Star reached for her wallet on her way to the door. The smell of Chinese food wafted into the room when she came back. "We thought we'd eat in just this once so you're off the hook." I smiled wanly as I threw myself into the nearest chair. "I'm not hungry." When was the last time I'd eaten?
