The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by the faint rustle of the Codex of the Gods as it hovered beside Lethyxia, its pages turning of their own accord. She extended her hand, and the book settled in her palm once more.

“This will be our weapon,” she declared, her voice firm. “The Codex holds the truths of gods and mortals alike—their secrets, their vulnerabilities. If we are to face Noctarion, we must understand him as he understands us. Knowledge is our greatest ally.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvxFoGtPEW
Helena nodded hesitantly, though her fear was far from assuaged. “And what about Mooniegale’s daughter? What is your plan for her?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fbH1wLja0
Lethyxia’s lips curled into a faint, almost predatory smile. “We bring her to us. If she is as cunning as her mother, she’ll seek answers—and we will ensure that every path she takes leads her straight into our grasp. One way or another, Helena, this game will end with us as victors.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGvaswlzck
As the moonlight faded behind thick clouds, casting the room into darkness, Lethyxia’s voice echoed, chilling and resolute. “And if Noctarion wishes to interfere, let him. Even gods can bleed.”
Helena shuddered at Lethyxia’s words, her unease deepening. The sheer audacity of challenging Noctarion—the Eternal Sentinel, a being feared by even the gods themselves—felt like courting doom. Yet, she knew better than to question Lethyxia’s resolve. Her queen had faced greater odds and emerged victorious, carving an empire from the chaos of divine games.

“What will you have me do, Your Highness?” Helena asked, her voice trembling but steadying under Lethyxia’s piercing gaze.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15fuOJeCCh
“You’ll begin by locating the girl,” Lethyxia instructed, her tone firm. “Her existence disrupts the balance. She must be found before she fully realizes what she is capable of—or worse, before Noctarion aids her in unlocking her potential.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEclQ4ZGnxR
Helena nodded, swallowing her unease. “And when I find her?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSeJBix4cj
Lethyxia turned her back to Helena, staring out into the night. “Bring her to me alive, by any means necessary. But tread carefully. She is no ordinary mortal; she carries remnants of her lineage. Underestimate her, and you won’t live to regret it.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT8HxLJWj4
Helena’s stomach twisted, but she inclined her head. “As you command.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKdnmPtMAz
As Helena left the room, Lethyxia let out a slow breath, her fingers brushing the cover of the Codex. Her gaze turned skyward, where stars glimmered faintly behind the clouds. She murmured softly, her words meant for no one but herself.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgHHzDlqM9
“Noctarion, what game are you playing this time? Is she your gambit—or your redemption?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBqxYHVHrY
The book in her hands pulsed once, a faint glow emanating from its cover. Lethyxia’s eyes narrowed, her grip tightening. “If you think I’ll let you undo everything I’ve built, you are sorely mistaken.”

Helena made her way through the winding corridors of the Temple, her heart pounding. The memories of Mooniegale’s daughter, now a haunting presence, replayed in her mind. She couldn’t shake the sensation that the girl had been watching her even in death, her piercing gaze a constant shadow.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGIQKeSEab
She stepped into the war room, where a group of scouts and shadow weavers awaited her. “We have a new target,” Helena announced, her voice stronger than she felt. “A girl tied with noctarion . I want her found and brought back here. Alive. No mistakes.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KP7wlMELZ
The shadow weavers exchanged uneasy glances, their expressions betraying their fear. “A girl connected to the Eternal Sentinel? That’s only a myth!” one of them blurted out.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYNcblef3K
Helena’s glare silenced him. “Do as you’re told, or I’ll remind you why you serve this crown,” she snapped. “Prepare the search teams immediately. We leave at first light.”

Meanwhile, in the depths of an ancient forest the willow tree, a girl sat by a shimmering pool of water. Her reflection rippled as she gazed into the surface, her white silver eyes glowing faintly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQKZKHVfpS
“They’re coming for you,” a deep, resonant voice spoke from the wind.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwP71StKOG
She didn’t flinch, her gaze remaining fixed on the water. “I know,” she replied softly. “They always come.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzl44J2WPg
Noctarion stepped forward, his eyes glinting with starlight as he regarded her. “Will you run?” he asked.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFXA3wJqhg
Xia's lips curved into a faint smile. “No. I’ve been running for too long. If they want me, they’ll find me. But I won’t be the girl they remember.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVzmMdNOgh
Noctarion’s gaze softened, a rare flicker of something close to pride crossing his features. “Good. You are stronger than they think, child of the cursed bloodline. The question is, will you rise above their expectations—or fall beneath them?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPwMY3oFy5
She stood, her figure illuminated by the moonlight filtering through the trees. “I suppose we’ll find out, won’t we?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ45kXev7yh
The night deepened, and the forest seemed to hold its breath as the girl and the Eternal Sentinel vanished into the shadows. The game had begun, and the pieces were now in motion.

Helena's team worked tirelessly into the night, poring over ancient maps, texts, and reports from spies scattered across the dominion.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6yDbR0s8p
Whispers of a silver-eyed girl in the borderlands had surfaced over the years, but none had connected her to Mooniegale’s lineage until now. The possibility that she had survived—or worse, had been reborn—gnawed at Helena’s resolve.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25uLkjjYxu
As the shadow weavers prepared their magic and scouts loaded provisions, Helena lingered in the war room, staring at a map of the forest where the girl had last been sighted. The air was thick with tension, every shadow seeming to carry the weight of Lethyxia’s command.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPxnQv9taU
One of her lieutenants, a grizzled man with a scar running down his cheek, approached cautiously. “high priestess,” he said, breaking the silence, “do you truly believe we can capture someone tied to Noctarion? If the tales are true…”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cL3sevILV
Helena cut him off with a sharp glare. “Tales are meant to frighten fools. We have our orders. Whatever she is, she is mortal. And mortals can bleed.”

In the heart of the ancient forest, xia leaned against the willow tree, her mind racing. Memories of a life long past flickered at the edges of her consciousness—fragmented and distorted, like shards of a broken mirror.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrgVLsdTW
She didn’t know who she had been before, but she felt the weight of it, the burdens of decisions and sacrifices she couldn’t remember making.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviWjYpBU7F
“I won’t let them control me,” she muttered, her fists clenching.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSiw8xG9j2
“Control is an illusion,” Noctarion’s voice rumbled, deep and soothing like a distant storm. He stepped into view, his celestial presence warping the space around him. “Even I, for all my power, answer to the whims of a greater force.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ9esT2Iy5
She turned to him, her silver eyes alight with defiance. “Then why help me? What do you gain from this?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLY0NaQjTH
Noctarion’s expression was unreadable, his starlit gaze fixed on her. “You carry a legacy that can tip the scales of this world. Your choices will shape the fates of gods and mortals alike. Whether you rise or fall, I will bear witness.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAF0xz7Rqj
Xia frowned, her heart pounding. “Witness? That’s all I am to you—a spectacle?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xCvA52pBw
He stepped closer, the ground beneath him darkening as though the stars themselves bent to his presence. “You are more than you realize. But the path you choose is yours alone.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirELNY5MQr
For a moment, silence enveloped them, broken only by the rustle of leaves in the night breeze.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKsJhsN6SA
“What do you see in me, lio?” she asked softly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbpYEP2ZC3
The Eternal Sentinel regarded her with a rare tenderness. “I see the embers of a fire that once burned brighter than the sun. I see a destiny forged in sacrifice and redemption. And I see a choice—a choice that will determine whether this world thrives or crumbles.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg641u8a0pn
Xia's gaze dropped to the shimmering pool, her reflection rippling as if in answer. “Then I’ll choose to fight. For myself, for those who can’t, and for the truth of who I am.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Th7RRAGnG
Noctarion nodded, his form shimmering with celestial light. “Then prepare yourself. They will come with chains, with fire, and with lies. And you must be ready to burn brighter than them all.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSNuzogAgZ
Xia straightened, determination hardening her features. “Let them come.”
