Rejected to be His Luna 273. A dark utopia
[Unknown POV]Darkness is an element, and it forges only a handful of souls.There are souls made up of light, and souls made up of a mixture of light and dark, good and evil. There are abundant of them in this world.Where there is light, there will be shadows, but shadows are everywhere. There is nothing in this world that doesn’t have a shadow. Technically speaking, this world exists in darkness. Light is just an imagination created by God to play chess with millions of pawns.People say whenever you are lost, seek the light. Light at the end of the tunnel, but I have a different approach to this. When you are lost, seek darkness. Stop at the entrance of the tunnel and drown yourself in the abyss dark and deep — silent and sweet.Light is the cause of all evil in this world.Light was the cause of all the pain in my world. Just imagine a world of pure darkness where colour doesn’t matter and faces — fake or real — remain hidden.Where darkness is respected and worshipped, where lig
Rejected to be His Luna 274. Madness
[Killian’s POV]It was funny how she thought those playing spells for toddlers could cage me.But in this game of hide and seek, she sought me and made me reveal myself even when I didn’t plan this revelation so early, I could at least give her the false satisfaction of winning this time.“You caught me, so what now? Are you gonna kill me?” I asked, tilting my head to my side. “Honestly, death would be a mercy for you,” she said, maintaining that cold stare while she had that faint, daunting smile.Ok, accepted. I was slightly, with a measure of a rice grain, scared when these ultimas were angry.Because their anger was never in their bloodshot eyes, it was in their smile.“What are you gonna do then? Play cards with me, drink tea and have a nice time?” I shrugged, crossing my hands over my chest, leisurely sitting on the ground folding my legs within that light rod cage. “Nice idea. Let’s have some tea.” She hadn’t blinked ever since she saw me. Ok, she was getting scary to the siz
Rejected to be His Luna 275. Sufferings
[Killian’s POV]***TRIGGER WARNING: Torture/harmful acts (not graphic)***...“What I did, what I am doing and what I’ll do is for the greater good of this world and to achieve big goals, we have to make big sacrifices. None of their lives have gone in vain. All their sacrifices are the building block of a perfect dark utopia where light will have no place and all of us can live in peace and love,” I said.“Then this…” she pointed towards my mother. “... this is the necessary sacrifice I need to make to create a world without you and to put an end to you and your perpetual night.”“Fools like you can never understand my vision,” I said.“It’s a shame that a genius like you also does not understand a fool’s vision,” she said.“The moment I break out of this cage, you are over, Damen’s daughter.”“I know. And you think I haven’t prepared myself to die? I had prepared myself for death the moment I set out my foot from the Enver pack. But you can’t get out of this small cage I have crea
Rejected to be His Luna 276. Conscience conflict
[Zeve’s POV]Amor had been busy finding the shadow who killed Mayu. I really hoped that Hikari would calm down after Zahir and the rogue were handed over to him. Venus was with mother and aunt Lozbi. I was glad she was doing as I asked. I asked her not to meet Killian, and she didn’t, even though it was clear from her eyes that she considered Killian as her son and wanted to stay close to him.I didn’t know if what I was doing was right or not. I just wanted to break Killian to the point where he would give up his madness of creating a dark utopia — I wanted to destroy him mentally, and that would not be easy. But it wasn’t impossible either. Venus was his only weakness, so I had no option but to use her to bring him to his knees and make him obey me.Meanwhile, my search for the Nyx scythe wasn’t ending. According to Aria, it was somewhere in Amanustan or Nialruz. For now, all riots all around the world had stopped, so Ez was helping me search the scythe as well. I was hoping to fin
Rejected to be His Luna 277. The broken cage
[Zeve’s POV]Killian had broken out of the cage.Vance and the knights who were guarding him were all lying unconscious on the ground. I checked Vance’s pulses. He was still breathing. They just passed out from the impact.“How was he able to break our resistance barrier? We worked so hard to create it…” Aria said, examining the broken pieces of the cage. “Simple, Aria. To break that cage, Killian had to emit dark energy beyond the resisting power of the spells we used to create that cage. I can’t even imagine the amount of dark energy he used to break this cage. No wonder we felt the tremors.”I mind-linked Lucella and asked her to send the medical help for them.“What should we do now, leader?” Aria asked.“Breaking this cage would have taken a toll on his body. He is weak right now, we can cage him again…” I said.I activated my butterflies all around the palace. Soon they found him. But…Celeste stood impassively in his way that led to Venus’ room. Maybe he wasn’t able to telepor
Rejected to be His Luna 278. Voice from the moon
[Zeve’s POV]Hikari teleported us in the sky as we hovered at some considerable height from the Aura palace.I looked at him for an explanation, “put me to my feet and explain yourself.” I ordered.Hikari’s eyes were fixed on the Aura palace. A few minutes of stark silence crept into the gloomy sky. There was a shrill, high-pitched noise, as if several beasts were howling in a distorted harmony. I shuddered, grabbing Hikari’s kimono coat and shutting my eyes tightly. Hikari shut my ear with his palm as he buried my face in his chest. The noise slowly turned fainter and fainter. “What the hell is happening here?” I asked.It was then Hikari put me to my feet, his hands still wrapped around my waist. “I can fly on my own,” I said.Hikari’s gaze met mine. “I know.”I frowned, “answer me what is…”I stopped speaking when my eyes went to the Aura palace and the sky above it.The sky cracked as if it was made of glass and its shards started showering on the palace. The places of the pala
Rejected to be His Luna 279. Still holding on
[Zeve’s POV] The full moon’s light became fainter and fainter until there was no moon in the sky. The voice said it was her last ounce of power she used to stop the dark gravity. Did that mean this world would not have moonlight anymore? The messengers of death, ravens and owls were sitting all over the ruins of the Aura palace. They mourned the death while we were looking for the remnants of the dead. Bodies had turned into dust and we could only make out that the pile of dust was once a person by the pattern it was lying on the ground as if a person had been buried under black sand. There was no skin, flesh, blood, or bone. Just dust of the dead and its daunting odour in the air. The hallways that once beamed with life, gossips and giggles had turned lifeless. We were looking for survivors even though we knew there might be none. Morfan and Hikari were looking at the conditions of places beyond the palace. Amor was walking ahead of me. Mother was walking beside me. She took e
Rejected to be His Luna 280. Autumn's spring
[Zeve’s POV]Hikari and my paths collided as we looked around the palace ruins.We peered at each other, standing at some distance.The night replayed in my head when I read his memories and when he kissed me. The way he saw me wasn’t that of a friend. Now, every time our gaze met, I knew what his gaze meant when his eyes fell on me.As awkward as that whole situation was, I wanted to talk to him. Have a clear conversation.I walked towards him as he stood in the same place, seeing me approach him.He lowered his gaze and was about to pass by.“Can we talk?” I said, and he stopped and looked at me with a nod.After a long stretch of silence between us, both of us blurted out at the same time…“I am sorry.”“I am sorry.”Hikari looked at me, confused, “uh… why are you apologising, Zeve?”“For my rudeness earlier when I blamed you, even when this wasn’t your fault. I called you selfish and…”“I don’t mind. I mean, I am selfish.”I let out a nervous breath, “why did you apologise?”“Umm.
