Blood moon's curse Chapter 14: Fractured Bonds
When the light subsided, silence enveloped the chamber like a suffocating veil. The once-majestic pillars were now fractured, their carvings barely discernible amidst the rubble. The Crimson Heart lay shattered on the ground, its shards radiating a dim, haunting glow. Aria stirred first, her head pounding and her body weak from the overwhelming power they had just unleashed. She blinked, trying to adjust her vision to the dim light. The bond of the Blood Pact throbbed within her chest, tugging her awareness toward Lucian. "Lucian?" she called weakly, her voice trembling. From the shadows, he emerged, limping slightly, his silver eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. His face was a mixture of relief and exhaustion. "I'm here," he said, moving to her side. "Are you hurt?" She shook her head, though every muscle in her body screamed in protest. "What... what happened?" Lucian’s gaze shifted to the shards of the Heart scattered across the ground. "It’s broken. The Crimson Heart is

Evangeline rose to her feet, her crimson gown torn and bloodstained, her face contorted with rage and desperation. Dark energy crackled around her, fueled by sheer willpower and remnants of the Crimson Heart’s corruption. Her voice was a haunting whisper that echoed through the crumbling chamber."You think you’ve won, Aria? You have no idea what true power is. I’ll burn this world to ashes before I let you claim victory."Lucian stepped in front of Aria, his stance protective and unyielding. "You’ve lost, Evangeline. Let this go before it destroys you."Evangeline let out a guttural laugh, her crimson eyes locking onto Aria. "It’s too late for that. You’ve taken everything from me—my throne, my power, and now the Heart. But I’ll make sure you pay for it with your life."With a deafening scream, she unleashed a wave of dark energy that surged toward them like a tidal wave. Lucian moved instantly, shielding Aria with his body as the force slammed into them, sending both sprawling to th

The sun rose slowly over the horizon, casting its golden light on the ruins of the Forgotten Spire. Aria and Lucian stood together, their breaths mingling in the crisp morning air, but the peace was short-lived. A faint, haunting whisper echoed in Aria’s mind.Kael.She turned to Lucian, her expression shifting from relief to worry. "Kael… I felt him. He’s alive, but he’s in pain."Lucian’s jaw tightened. "Evangeline must have done something before her end. We need to find him."Aria nodded, determination burning in her chest. "He helped us when we needed him most. We can’t leave him to suffer."The bond between Aria and Kael had always been different—unique and inexplicably strong. Though Lucian was her anchor, Kael had been her guiding light during her moments of doubt, his quiet strength and unwavering loyalty a constant reminder of her purpose.As they made their way through the dense forest surrounding the Spire, the air grew colder, and an unnatural silence enveloped them. The t
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-04Blood moon's curse Chapter 17: The Depths of Truth
The forest was eerily quiet as Aria, Lucian, and Kael made their way back to safer ground. Each step forward felt heavy, as if the weight of their shared journey pressed down upon them. Aria walked ahead, her thoughts clouded with a mixture of relief and worry.Kael lagged behind, his steps uneven. Though freed from Evangeline’s curse, his body bore the marks of her cruelty, and his mind seemed far from at ease. Lucian, ever vigilant, walked at a steady pace, his sharp gaze darting around the darkened woods.The silence was thick, but it was Kael who finally broke it. "She wanted to turn me into a weapon against you, Aria," he said, his voice hoarse.Aria stopped and turned to face him, her brow furrowed. "Kael…"He shook his head, cutting her off. "She said my bloodline—our shared connection to the Crimson Fated—made me an essential part of the prophecy. When I refused to help her, she…" He trailed off, clenching his fists. "She bound me to the darkness of the Heart, hoping to use me
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-04Blood moon's curse Chapter 18: The Veil of Shadows
The morning air was so lovely, the remnants of dew shimmering on the leaves as the group began their journey toward the ancient city of Veleris. Known as the City of Shadows, it was rumored to hold the final piece of the prophecy. Though the Crimson Heart had been destroyed, its lingering energy still coursed through Aria, tethering her to its mysteries.Kael, walking a few paces behind, glanced at Aria with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "Do you think Veleris will give us answers or more questions?"Aria didn’t look back, her voice steady. "Both, probably. But we can’t stop now. The Heart may be gone, but its curse hasn’t ended."Lucian, ever the sentinel, stayed close to Aria’s side. "Veleris is a place of secrets. Not all of them will welcome us."The tension between Lucian and Kael simmered just beneath the surface, though neither dared to voice it openly. Aria, sensing the unspoken animosity, kept her focus on the path ahead.By midday, they reached the edge of a vast canyon

The room seemed to close in on them, the air thick with a malignant force that pressed down on their chests. The orb pulsed with an unnatural energy, thrumming in tune with the rising chaos around them. Evangeline stood at the altar, her crimson eyes burning with intensity, as if she were already tasting victory."You cannot stop what has already begun," she snarled, her voice like the rasp of a thousand whispers. "The veil between worlds is thin here. The prophecy is mine to wield."Aria took a step forward, heart pounding. "You're wrong, Evangeline. We destroyed the Heart. The prophecy is over!"Evangeline laughed, a sound that made Aria’s skin crawl. "Oh, my dear Aria, you think you destroyed it? The Heart was merely the key. You’ve only unlocked the door to something far more ancient, far more powerful."Lucian’s eyes flickered with a dark realization. "The veil… you’re trying to open it."Evangeline’s smile twisted. "Not trying. I’ve already opened it. And now, I will use the pow
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-09Blood moon's curse Chapter 20: The Whispering Darkness
The world outside the temple was eerily quiet. The rift between worlds had closed, the veil between realms sealed for now, but the echoes of what had transpired lingered in the air, thick and suffocating. Aria, Lucian, and Kael stood at the edge of the ruined temple, their eyes scanning the horizon. The sun, though beginning to set, seemed pale, almost reluctant to set its golden rays upon the world that had been forever altered by the events in the chamber below.Aria's heart was heavy, her mind a labyrinth of thoughts that refused to settle. She had fought back against the prophecy, but something had changed within her. The dark power of the Heart had not completely dissipated; it was there, pulsing faintly in her chest, a constant reminder of what she had almost become. She had a feeling it would never truly leave her."I can't believe it's over," Kael said, his voice gruff, though there was a sense of relief in his tone. "That was some battle."Lucian turned his gaze to the horizo

The figure before them, the twisted reflection of Aria, stood tall and imposing, its presence more terrifying than any shadow that had ever crossed her path. Her heart raced as the whispers intensified, a storm of voices clawing at her mind. She could feel the cold weight of her own dark past bearing down on her, the echoes of a future she desperately wanted to avoid. Lucian stepped forward, his hand on his blade, his body tense. "Who are you?" he demanded, his voice steady but filled with suspicion. The figure chuckled softly, its voice like the grinding of ancient stones. "Ah, the vampire speaks. But you are mistaken if you think you can protect her from herself." Aria’s breath caught in her throat as the figure reached up and slowly pulled back its hood, revealing its face in full. It was her—a version of herself, but twisted beyond recognition. Her skin was pale, her eyes blackened and hollow, and her features distorted into a grotesque parody of Aria’s own. "No..." Aria whis

Blood moon's curse Chapter 73
The morning light crept through the trees, casting a soft glow on the forest floor. Aria awoke to the sound of birds chirping, but her mind was still heavy with the events of the previous night. The weight of their journey pressed on her, and the uncertainty of what lay ahead loomed in her thoughts like an ominous cloud. But there was also a sense of purpose now—a resolve that had formed within her the moment she’d spoken those words to Lucian.She glanced around, noting that everyone was already up. Dorian was sharpening his sword, Eldrin was tending to their supplies, and Evangeline was quietly meditating, her eyes closed, her focus entirely inward. Lucian stood by the edge of the clearing, looking out into the woods, his posture tense as always, but there was something softer about him this morning.Aria stood and walked toward him, her footsteps barely making a sound on the soft earth. He turned when he heard her approach, his expression unreadable.“Morning,” Aria said quietly, h
Blood moon's curse Chapter 72: Secrets Unveiled
The sun dipped low in the sky, casting long shadows across the forest as Aria and the others made their way through the dense woods. The eerie calm that had settled in the wake of the explosion still lingered, and despite the outward silence, every member of the group could feel the weight of impending danger pressing in on them.Aria walked slightly ahead, her mind racing with the events that had unfolded in the past hours. Lucian’s power, the destruction of the stone structure, the overwhelming force they had barely escaped from… it all felt like the beginning of something much larger, something neither of them could fully comprehend. But the question lingered—why did it feel so personal?“Do you think it’s over?” Aria’s voice broke through the quiet, directed toward Lucian, who walked beside her, his eyes scanning the path ahead.Lucian’s lips were pressed into a tight line, his jaw tense. “No,” he replied shortly, his voice colder than usual. “That was only a warning. Whatever is
Blood moon's curse Chapter 71: Unseen Threads
The moon hung low in the sky, a silver sliver amidst the darkened canvas of the night. The aftermath of battle was heavy, like a thick fog settling over the land. But even amidst the quiet, there was an undercurrent of tension—something looming just beyond the horizon.Aria stood at the edge of the camp, her hand resting lightly on the hilt of her sword. She wasn’t sure if she was waiting for something to appear or simply lost in thought, but her eyes were sharp, scanning the distance. Lucian was nearby, overseeing the preparations for their departure, but he had given her space. He understood her need for solitude, for clarity.She sighed, pushing her hair back from her face, the wind catching it and whipping it around her shoulders. The battle had been brutal, but it wasn’t over."Lucian," she called, her voice steady but tinged with an unspoken question.He looked up, his eyes locking with hers instantly, as though he had been waiting for her to speak. "What is it?"Aria hesitated.
Blood moon's curse Chapter 70
Aria stared at Lucian, the weight of his words pressing down on her. A god—an ancient, sleeping god—was inside of him. And if he lost control…She shook off the thought. Not now. Not when he was here, standing before her, watching her like she was the only thing tethering him to this world.A small, wry smile tugged at her lips. “So, let me get this straight,” she said, tilting her head. “You’re an ancient vampire, cursed by a god, stronger than anything I’ve ever seen… and you’re still brooding about it?”Lucian blinked, then let out a surprised laugh. “Brooding?”“Yes,” she said, crossing her arms. “All this doom and gloom. ‘Oh no, Aria, I might lose control. I might destroy everything.’” She dropped her voice into a dramatic imitation of his deep tone. “It’s a bit much, don’t you think?”Lucian raised a brow. “I just told you I have the power of an eldritch god inside me, and your response is to mock me?”Aria grinned. “What else am I supposed to do? Cry? Run? I’d rather tease you.
Blood moon's curse Chapter 69
The silence between them was thick, pressing down like an unseen force. The ruins of the battlefield stretched around them, but the real war was happening in the space between Lucian and Aria.Aria’s pulse thrummed in her ears. Not just a vampire. Those words echoed in her mind, refusing to settle. She took a cautious step closer, watching Lucian as if he might shatter.“Then what are you?” she asked, her voice quiet but unwavering.Lucian exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair. The silver glow in his eyes hadn’t faded completely, a lingering reminder of whatever had surfaced within him.“I don’t know how to explain it,” he admitted. “Not in a way that won’t make you run.”Aria’s brow furrowed. “Lucian, I just watched you tear through Vayne like he was made of paper. I’ve seen you fight before, but that? That was different. That was something else.”His jaw tightened, his eyes flickering to the darkened corners of the ruins, as if expecting something—or someone—to emerge. “It
Blood moon's curse Chapter 68
The night was thick with the scent of blood and smoke. The battle had raged on longer than expected, and Aria’s strength was waning. Her fingers trembled against the cold stone of the ruined castle walls as she struggled to stay on her feet. Adrian was nowhere in sight. The last thing she had seen before she collapsed was a flash of silver and the wicked grin of their enemy. Then—darkness.A sharp pain tore through her ribs as she gasped awake, her surroundings unfamiliar. Chains rattled against the cold stone floor, and the sharp scent of iron filled her lungs. A prison. But not just any prison—this was his domain. The one place she never thought she’d end up.The torches lining the damp walls flickered with an eerie glow, casting long shadows across the room. She was bound, her wrists shackled above her head, her body aching from wounds she didn’t remember receiving. The air was suffocating, thick with the scent of dark magic. Aria gritted her teeth. She wouldn’t go down like this.
Blood moon's curse Chapter 67: A Blade in the Dark
The war drums thundered in the distance.The air was thick with the scent of metal, the promise of blood hanging between the trees as Aria and her army prepared for battle. The hunters were closing in—Selene had reported their march would reach the stronghold’s borders by sundown.But before the sun could set, the world shifted beneath Aria’s feet.It happened fast. Too fast.One moment, she was issuing orders to the sentinels stationed at the gate, her mind focused on war strategies and defensive positions. The next, a sharp, searing pain pierced her side.She gasped, stumbling forward as warmth bloomed beneath her ribs. A dagger.She barely had time to register the attack before a second strike followed, slashing across her arm. Pain exploded through her senses, her vision blurring as she fell to one knee.Shouts erupted around her, but her attacker moved faster than the guards could react. A strong arm wrapped around her neck, yanking her backward into the shadows.Her body screame
Blood moon's curse Chapter 65: The Gathering Storm
The wind howled through the tunnels of the stronghold, an eerie whisper that sent a chill down Aria’s spine. She stood at the war table once more, staring at the glowing script Aurelis had revealed.Evangeline knows your weakness. The Heart is calling to her. She is coming for you.The words burned in her mind, a warning wrapped in inevitability. They had spent weeks preparing, fighting, and running, but now there was no more time. Evangeline was making her final move.The door creaked open behind her. Lucian entered first, his crimson eyes scanning the dimly lit chamber before settling on her. Kael followed a moment later, his expression unreadable. Selene, Dorian, and Aurelis trailed in after them, their faces marked with the same grim understanding.“The scouts have returned,” Selene said. “It’s worse than we thought.”Aria turned to her, bracing herself. “How bad?”Selene set a parchment down on the table, unrolling it to reveal hastily drawn battle formations. “Evangeline’s army
Blood moon's curse Chapter 65: Duel of Crimson Fates
Aria’s blade clashed with Evangeline’s with a deafening roar, the force of their power rippling through the clearing. The Heart pulsed within Aria, its energy surging through her veins like molten fire.Evangeline smirked, her movements fluid and precise as she countered Aria’s attacks. “You’ve grown stronger,” she said mockingly. “But strength without control is nothing more than chaos.”Aria gritted her teeth, refusing to let Evangeline’s words shake her. She focused on the rhythm of the fight, the clang of steel and the hiss of dark energy filling her ears. Each strike felt heavier than the last, the weight of the Heart’s power pressing down on her.“You don’t know anything about control,” Aria spat, feinting left before delivering a powerful upward strike.Evangeline barely dodged, her smirk faltering for the briefest moment. “Oh, but I do,” she said, her voice low and dangerous. “I’ve mastered the darkness, embraced it. And you, little hunter, will never understand what it takes
