Chapter 21 — Shadows in the Forest
The forest had grown darker, the last traces of sunlight fading behind the jagged peaks of the distant mountains. Every step Ren took felt heavier than the last, the weight of their survival pressing into his chest. His arm throbbed where it had been cut, but it was the invisible wound, the ache inside, that made him wince. I'm starting to think some wounds never heal.Lyra stayed close, her hand brushing his cloak occasionally, as if to remind herself he was still there. Her presence was a comfort but also a vulnerability, a tether to life and danger at the same time. Their clothes clung to them, soaked from the river, but exhaustion didn’t stop the forest from feeling alive with danger. The wind rustled leaves and carried the scent of wet earth, smoke, and something darker beneath it, a hint of blood, metal, and malice."Do you feel that?" Lyra whispered, voice low and taut.Ren didn’t answer immediately, golden eyes scanning the shadows between the trees. "They’re close," he murmur
Chapter 22 — The Ruins of Lunareth
The forest had thinned, trees giving way to jagged cliffs and shattered stone. The path ahead was treacherous, roots jutting out like broken bones, mist curling from unseen ravines. Every step was a gamble. Ren moved first, senses stretched taut, the Star Wolf inside him simmering beneath the skin, coiling like a predator ready to strike. I'm starting to think danger never sleeps.Lyra followed, her bow ready, arrows faintly glowing in the dim light. Every breath she took seemed synchronized with his, the bond humming faintly beneath their skin. She didn’t speak; there was no need. They understood each other, instinctively, even in silence. I'm starting to think words are useless when we can feel each other’s heartbeat.The ruins of Lunareth emerged from the mist, a skeleton of what had once been a grand temple. Crumbled pillars leaned like tired soldiers, shattered walls covered in blackened moss, and the stone steps leading to the main hall were fractured and jagged. The air smelled
Chapter 23 — The Ruins That Remember
The forest grew quieter the deeper they pushed, the chaos of the earlier battle fading behind them like a dream slipping into fog. What remained was a strange humming in the air, faint, ancient, and unsettling, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Ren walked ahead without speaking, every muscle coiled, every instinct sharpened to a blade’s edge. The Star Wolf stirred beneath his skin, restless, pacing like a caged memory.I'm starting to think danger never truly ends, it only changes shape.Lyra followed closely. Her bow remained drawn, a faint silver glow pulsing through the wood as if her heartbeat had fused with the weapon. She didn’t have to call his name when he slowed; she simply felt it through the bond, an instinctive pull deep between their ribs.I’m starting to think silence says more than words ever could.The forest parted.Ahead, rising like forgotten bones, lay the ruins they had been searching for, Lunareth, cradle of the first bond, graveyard of legends. The
Chapter 24 — The Heart Of Lunareth
Cold wind flowed through the fractured corridor of Lunareth as Erian and Aster stepped deeper into the dying core. The once luminous city, once a testament to celestial harmony, now pulsed weakly like a fading heartbeat. The air trembled with the sound of breaking runes, crumbling glyphs, collapsing cells of ancient energy. Every few steps, stardust fell from the ceiling like ash from a burning world.Yet, despite all the chaos, Aster could hear only one thing:Erian’s breathing.Steady. Anchoring.As though he carried the weight of centuries on his back and was still ready to bear more if it meant she survived.They reached the final door, massive, ornately carved, glowing with the pale silver of a nearly dead star. Strange vines of corrupted energy writhed across its surface, but the center remained untouched, shining like the memory of something sacred.Aster felt her body tremble.“This is it,” she whispered.Erian didn’t answer right away. His gaze draped over the door like a far
Chapter 25 — Echoes Beneath the Moonlight
The night just went on and on above the ruins, stars like a million silent eyes watching. The last bit of light from the old days? Gone from the temple. Now, only the moon threw silver light on the broken stones… and our shaky hearts.Ren, he was just sitting there on the steps out of the inner part, staring at the forest moving in this soft, sad way. You could tell his chest still hurt from the relic's pulse, like it had woken something ancient inside him. The Beast Sovereign's mark, you know?Lyra stood close by, half in shadow, her breath making little clouds in the cold. Her uniform was ripped at the sleeve, showing these little cuts that looked like stardust on her skin."Ren," she said, quiet but strong, even though she was dead tired. "That power… it went wild for you. Why is that?"He didn't say anything right away. Just touched the scar on his wrist, the one that glowed a little. The same spot where, ages ago, the Star Wolf's seal had held him."Because," he said, almost to h
Chapter 26 — The Return of Shadows
Morning arrived too damn fast.The horizon? It was burning, amber, violet, those first rays of sunlight snaking through the Astral Academy's floating spires. Ren stood out on his dormitory balcony, wind messing with his silver-black hair, staring at the distant ruins. The seal was gone, yeah, but it still echoed inside him, a scar that just wouldn't fade. Every breath was a reminder: Kael wasn't just some memory anymore. He was real, watching.Down below, the academy courtyard was buzzing, students in those shimmering uniforms, all in little groups, laughing, chatting. The world looked normal again, but Ren knew better. Peace? It was always just the warm-up act for war. He knew this world far too well.A soft knock came from behind him."Ren? Up early again." Lyra's voice, soft, almost teasing. She stepped into the light, hair loose, that faint star-lily scent drifting with her. The morning sun hit her skin just right, warm, and for a second, Ren almost forgot the weight crushing his
Chapter 27 — Shattered Veil
The next morning, the academy felt wrong.Students filled the corridors as usual, laughing, chatting, shoving books into lockers, but something beneath the surface had shifted. The air shimmered faintly, like heat rising from stone, and the sunlight fractured into distorted angles across the marble floors.Ren noticed every detail, the delayed shadows, the half-second lag in the clock tower’s chime, the way the walls seemed to pulse in and out of focus. Reality was slipping.Lyra walked beside him, brows knit.“Do you feel that?”Ren’s voice dropped. “The veil between realms is thinning. Kael must’ve started something last night.”“Started what?”“A breach.”And the world around them felt like it was holding its breath.Inside the Main Hall, Professor Elenor lectured on ancient energy flow. Runes floated across the board, until the lights flickered, and every symbol twisted into nonsense.Students gasped.Elenor blinked. “What? This isn't”Then all at once, every student turned toward
Chapter 28 — Echoes of the Beast Realm
The morning after the battle? Surreal.For the first time in weeks, the academy was quiet. The storm had broken, and sunlight filtered through the observatory's fractured glass dome, scattering colors across the marble floor.Lyra sat by the bed, fingers loosely tangled with Ren's.He looked peaceful, too peaceful, almost.The healers had done all they could. The golden energy that used to flicker through his veins was dormant now, replaced by a faint silver glow. It was like the stars themselves had retreated into silence.Lady Veyra's voice echoed softly in Lyra's mind. "His soul was split when he sealed the Heart again. It's a miracle he's still breathing. But memory… may not return so easily."Lyra brushed a strand of hair from Ren's forehead. He stirred faintly, lashes fluttering open."…Lyra?" he murmured, voice rough.Relief washed over her like a tide. "You're awake."He blinked, gaze hazy, like seeing her for the first time. "Where… am I?""The infirmary," she whispered. "You
Chapter 29 — When the Stars Tremble
The wind howled, a wounded beast over the ruined valley. Dust, like silver ghosts, spiraled under the twin moons. And there he was, Ren, still, so still, like time itself had forgotten him.His eyes, usually so calm, so sharp... now, they shimmered gold. With every beat of his heart, tiny cracks spiderwebbed the ground around his boots. Energy, wild and raw, leaking out of him like he was a broken thing.Lyra watched, a few steps back, barely breathing. The air around him shimmered, distorted, like it was struggling to hold what he was becoming."Ren," she said, softly at first. Her voice, the only warmth in that biting wind. "You're losing it."He didn't answer, not really.For a second, she thought she saw him blink, like he recognized her, maybe? But then, the gold in his eyes flared up again.A growl, low and ugly, came from his throat. Not human, not beast. The ground vibrated under their feet. Far off, ancient symbols carved into the mountains pulsed with that same golden rhythm
Chapter 30 — Echoes of the Forbidden Heart
The forest... it had never felt so alive, not like this, not at night. Every leaf seemed to tremble, whispering secrets to unseen winds. Silver mist snaked between the trees, carrying echoes of roars, too distant to be real, maybe, but too heavy to be just imagined. Ren moved fast, so fast, his eyes glowing faintly with the Sovereign's mark. The pulse of dark energy ahead was like a heartbeat calling to him, deep, resonant, and maddeningly familiar. Behind him, Lyra followed, quiet, careful steps on the damp earth. She could feel the storm building, both outside and inside him. "Ren," she said softly. "Slow down. You're losing it again." He didn't stop, wouldn't stop. "I can feel him. The echo,it's part of me. If I don't stop it now, it'll consume everything." "Or it'll consume you," she snapped, finally catching up. Her hand gripped his arm, and the warmth of her touch cut through the rising chill that clung to his skin. He turned, and for a second, she saw something raw in hi
