đ Whispers of the Moon
By Rapwizzy Debaron
Episode 21: The Moon's Wrath
The forest trembled as the Eclipse Order's leader raised his staff, summoning tendrils of black fire from the earth. Trees warped and twisted, their shadows stretching unnaturally as the sky above began to darkenâeclipsing the moon.
Juvia gasped. "He's trying to blot out the moonlight!"
Ha-jun cursed under his breath. "If he succeeds, the Heart of the Moon will fall."
A sharp whistle sliced through the night as archers from the Order fired a volley of shadow-tipped arrows. Ha-jun grabbed Juvia's arm, yanking her down just in time. The arrows slammed into the ground around them, sizzling like acid.
Juvia sprang up, fury igniting in her eyes. "Not tonight." She raised her sword and slashed upwardâsending a wave of moonlight energy surging through the clearing. The light collided with the arrows mid-air, shattering them into harmless sparks.
Luna joined the battle, her form glowing with celestial light. With a wave of her hand, the trees respondedâbranches extending like spears to impale oncoming enemies. "We fight for balance!" she cried, her voice ringing with divine power.
But the Order kept advancing, their numbers seemingly endless.
"We're surrounded," Ha-jun said, slicing through two attackers with fluid precision. "We need to take out the leaderâhe's the anchor."
Juvia nodded, eyes locking onto the cloaked figure channeling the eclipse. "Then I'm going for him."
Before Ha-jun could stop her, Juvia darted into the chaos, dodging blades and shadows. Her sword hummed in her hands, alive with lunar fury. She clashed with a massive brute, ducked beneath his hammer swing, and drove her blade into his gut. He crumpled.
The enemy leader turned slowly, revealing a face marked with runes that pulsed with dark energy. "Child of the Moon," he sneered, "you don't understand the power you hold."
"I don't need to understand it," Juvia spat, "I just need to use it to stop you."
With a roar, she lunged at him. Their blades met in a brilliant flash, shaking the earth. The force knocked both of them backâbut Juvia landed on her feet, eyes blazing.
The Heart of the Moon behind her responded, its glow intensifying as if awakened by her courage.
"Enough games," the leader growled. He raised his staff to strike her downâbut Ha-jun appeared beside Juvia in a blink, crossing his blades to block the attack.
"You'll have to go through both of us," he said coldly.
"Then so be it."
A shockwave erupted as all three powers collidedâmoonlight, shadow, and sword.
