Chapter 51
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, the haunted castle became increasingly visible in the distance. Its dark, looming towers seemed to melt into the clouds, casting long, ominous shadows that stretched across the landscape. The path ahead grew narrower as they moved through a winding valley, the air thickening with each step they took.A low, eerie howl echoed through the valley, sending a chill down their spines. A distant, wailing wind carried strange whispers, like voices calling from the abyss. Luna instinctively stepped closer to Elion, her hand brushing against his arm for comfort. Elion, despite his usual stoic nature, glanced over at her, offering a reassuring smile, though the tension in his jaw betrayed his unease.Aldric kept his pace steady, his eyes scanning the shadows. His hand instinctively hovered near the hilt of his sword, though he made no move to draw it. The sounds were unnerving, but he had faced far worse in his

By the time dusk settled over Duskwatch, the group was ready. The evening air was crisp, and the faint glow of lanterns reflected off the cobblestone streets. Veylan stood in front of them, holding out a necklace for each of them. The necklaces glimmered faintly with enchantment, the magic pulsating beneath the surface.“These will protect you.” Veylan explained, his voice steady but laced with emotion. “Powerful spells woven into these chains. If any of you are in danger, they will shield you.”Luna took hers, admiring the intricate design. “Thank you.” she said quietly, though her mind was already focused on the journey ahead. Elion, Aldric, and Noah each took theirs in turn, nodding in thanks.Veylan’s eyes lingered on Mara for a moment, a hint of sadness crossing his face as he tried to maintain his composure. “Good luck, all of you.” he said, his voice rough. “Take care of her.”Mara, standing beside him, placed a hand on his arm. Though she knew this was the path they had to wal

Luna’s eyes fluttered open, the golden morning light streaming through the window, casting a soft glow across the room. The first thing she saw was Elion—sitting beside her, a leg folded beneath him, the other resting on the floor. His fingers combed gently through her hair, slow and tender, like he was afraid she might break.A smile curved her lips. “You’re up early.”He glanced down at her, returning the smile, his voice low and warm. “I didn’t want to miss the moment your eyes opened.”She reached up, her fingers lightly touching his arm. “You’re such a romantic.” she whispered, amused.Elion leaned down, brushing his nose against hers. “Only with you. The world can wait. This… this is my peace.”Luna chuckled softly, then bit her lip. “You make me feel like I’m already home.”“You are.” he whispered. “Right here… with me.”She gazed up at him, heart full, eyes soft. “You look at me like I’m magic.”He kissed her forehead, lingering there. “Because you are. You brought me back to
Chapter 48
The morning light was soft, streaking gold across the marble floor of the Citadel as Luna padded down the corridor. She’d been looking for Noah. Something in her heart urged her toward the east balcony.And there he was.Leaning on the carved railing, arms crossed, his gaze fixed far into the horizon where mist curled above the Arcanian trees. The wind tousled his hair slightly, and he didn’t move when she approached.“You always this dramatic in the mornings?” Luna asked gently, a teasing edge in her voice.Noah glanced at her, then gave the faintest smile. “Only when the sun rises too slow.”She stepped beside him, folding her arms on the railing too. “You’re not the same guy who choked on a poisonous berry in Mystoria.”His smile twitched again, but faded quickly. “Yeah, well… it feels like a hundred years ago.”Luna looked at him carefully. There it was again—that shadow in his eyes. The weight. Not just from magic or travel, but something deeper.“Talk to me.”Noah sighed through
Chapter 47
Morning light poured into the healing chamber, casting a golden glow over Luna’s face. A slow, delicate flutter of her eyelashes sent Elion’s heart hammering in his chest. Then, with a quiet breath, her eyes opened.He froze.For a moment, he thought he was dreaming. He had spent the last two days fearing he would never see those eyes again. His grip on the armrest tightened as his vision blurred with unshed tears."Luna..." His voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper.She turned her head slightly, her gaze meeting his. There was a quiet confusion in her expression, as if she herself couldn't believe what was happening."I... woke up?" she murmured. Her own voice startled her. "I shouldn't be alive."Elion exhaled shakily, reaching forward, brushing his fingers against hers. “You ARE alive.” His thumb ran over her knuckles, grounding himself. “And I’m never letting you go again.”Luna blinked at him, taking in the exhaustion written all over his face—his unkempt hair, his slight
Chapter 46
Elion walked into the healing room, his steps slow and heavy. His body was feverish, his skin damp with sweat. His dark hair was tousled, strands falling over his forehead. The laces of his shirt hung loose, exposing the sculpted lines of his chest. The small cat padded in behind him, its sharp eyes fixed on his every movement.The magic cloud surrounding Luna had begun to fade, wisps of shimmering energy dispersing into the air. She lay still, her face pale but peaceful. He lowered himself onto the chair beside her, his fingers trembling as he reached for her hand."Luna." he whispered, his voice raw. He swallowed hard, his heart pounding. "I never told you… how much I love you."His thumb brushed over her knuckles, tracing the delicate lines. "I dream about you. About us. A life beyond battles and bloodshed. Waking up beside you every morning, calling you mine. Watching you smile as the sun touches your face."His breath hitched, and he exhaled shakily. "I would show you the world,
