THE VEIL OF TWENTY MOON
Cassian shouted from above, rallying the group: “Focus! Remember the Moonbearer’s guidance! Harmony and balance, not brute force!”
Luna felt the Moonfire thrumming through her, the pulse of the twenty moons resonating in her chest. She stepped forward, raising her hands, weaving a spiral of silver and golden light. The energy formed a radiant barrier around her and expanded outward, colliding with the shadowed clones.
The clones hissed and recoiled, melting back into molten smoke. One shrieked, splitting again into smaller, faster forms. Luna’s protective sphere wavered, the heat and raw energy threatening to destabilize it.
