Chapter 86: Ancient Secrets
Liana dove forward as Celeste's arm whipped toward Talia. The shadow arm wrapped around Liana's waist instead, burning like acid through her clothes. "Gotcha!" Celeste shrieked through her twisted lips.
But instead of fear, Liana felt something else rising. Power. Pure, ancient power that made her bones hum like tuning forks. "Let her go!" Kael roared, lunging forward with his claws extended.
The limb holding Liana suddenly froze. Steam rose where it touched her skin, and Celeste screamed in real pain. "What's happening to me?" Celeste wailed, trying to pull away but unable to let go. Lyra's eyes went wide. "Impossible. She's burning dark magic with pure light." "Not impossible," the phantom wolf said quietly.
"Inevitable. Show them, young guardian." Liana didn't understand what was happening, but she could feel old memories flooding through her mind. Not from the old Luna this time.
