Luna's pov

I sat in the Elders' Hall, the cold, polished granite of the bench seeping through my dress, its chill impossible to ignore. The weight of the decision I had just made bore down on me, and I could almost hear the hall echo with the silent judgment of the Elders. The flickering candlelight added to the room's atmosphere, casting elongated shadows that danced on the walls like spectres from my past.

Seb was seated beside me, his presence a comforting anchor amidst the storm of emotions swirling within me. But even he seemed tense, his fingers tapping a quiet, anxious rhythm on the wooden table before us.

Across the room, the Elders regarded me with expressions ranging from scepticism to reluctant acceptance. Elder Maron, a man in his sixties with a look of sagacity etched into his features, leaned forward.

    The fabric of the dress whispered against my skin as Pearl helped me into it, her delicate hands working with a practiced ease. I stood before the mirror, and for a moment, the image reflected back was that of a stranger—a woman draped in elegance, poised and regal, yet with eyes shadowed by a tumultuous heart. The lace and silk clung to my form, the gold embroidery catching the light like fireflies in the night."You're breathtaking," Pearl murmured, stepping back to admire her work, her voice tinged with wonder. But as I continued to study my reflection, my heart trembled beneath the weight of the moment. The dress embodied dreams that were never meant to be, hopes built upon a foundation now fractured by loss and lingering uncertainty.A single tear escaped the corner of my eye, tracing a silent path down my cheek. Before it could reach my chin, I quickly wiped it away, unwilling to let weakness mar this moment. I couldn't afford to fall apart, not now—not when the Elders and the p

My mind reeled, struggling to process the sight before me. I blinked rapidly, convinced for a moment it was a cruel trick of the light or a figment of my exhaustion-ravaged mind."You're not real," I murmured, my thoughts grappling for logic as I backed away slightly, wary and defensive. But Spike looked at me with an intensity that was undeniably alive, his expression a curious mix of relief and apprehension."I'm as real as you, Brax," Spike replied, his voice carrying an edge of fatigue that mirrored my own state. "And from the looks of things, you've been through hell."I leaned against a tree, the rough bark biting into my skin as a grounding reminder of the reality I faced. Every muscle in my body screamed for respite, but the sight of Spike, of all creatures, breathing and speaking, demanded my attention
