Cel's heart quickened.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzWuBY46f3
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3oT4QlQXV
"What do I need to do?" he asked. "A chant? A ritual?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ313v8QOu1x
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrbftlFx0
Selina shook her head. "No, there is no need for that. You only need to pray."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyByWHsXWEH
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzGaWCGwDy
He hesitated.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcdTGRDob8
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs9BXwqPh7
"Pray for what?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17jN22iRSk
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVBxAaQX1T
"Pray for whatever you desire, whatever you wish for, and whatever you long for."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1xVw5fHuT
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov4eHAzKRD
Cel frowned. That was it? No structured words, no guidance?136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BXGLsRd0m
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65zgomiYc1
His mind turned the words over. If his blessing was shaped by his own desires, then it wouldn't be something preordained. It would be crafted by his own will, by the deepest truths of his soul.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1bMDdIiOO
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp57vIfaX2q
He had always thought of blessings as divine gifts, handed down from the gods without question. But if this one was determined by what he asked for…136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobLSueepdO
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB61Wbc7Eva
The thought didn't linger. His mind had already made its decision, long before he even stepped into this place.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ipUx473r
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp202gz8mT
Without another word, Cel moved forward.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL0nbZ5mAa
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5adR6VSxFh
The moment he crossed into the circle of flowers, the air changed.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IffwIcJ33
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4nU86lj3D
Density increased around him - space growing thicker, as if he had entered a place outside of time. The temperature dropped sharply, biting through flesh and settling into bone.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmRDqMwK7A
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Us7lsBfY
Beneath his feet, the ground softened. The flowers, despite their fragile appearance, did not snap under his weight. They shifted with him, welcoming rather than resisting.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlFTX9xCcO
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXcc0SoKcL
His breath came slow and steady. He stepped into the heart of the circle. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmErWqjwUgf
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYJOBl95vH
The moonlight swallowed him whole. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIUllq9Jme
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRmX8Bj44Z
Suddenly, the world dissolved.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuObICSnHT
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr048WoPsz
Mist unraveled into silver streaks - threads pulled from reality itself, stretching and twisting around him. His senses blurred. His body untethered. He was being pulled through the veil of existence, drawn beyond the boundaries of the known.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnnzGA5MOJ
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBEKXvDvbZ
Then—stillness.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXryj9R0Lkv
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJrRGAbMX0
A frozen sea stretched endlessly before him.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFttMp1IwJm
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13BOqBOAZ3
Cel's breath caught.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD14VaK2d7l
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxLyM9zvKv
The ice was pristine. Flawless. A perfect mirror reflecting the sky above - a sky where no stars dared shine, where only the moon reigned. It loomed impossibly large, closer than any moon should be, spilling pale radiance across the world.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ5q9wybxe
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZRYrAzE8a
He took a step forward.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNjzGh4mdW
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYICx2EP8P8
His footfall made no sound. The ice beneath him was smooth as polished glass. When he looked down, his reflection stared back. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXamxhYN16I
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2EYlKXdhZ
Not blank like the mirror lake had shown him. Not hollow-eyed with surrender like the crystal maze had revealed. Just... him - gaunt and haunted.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpKPDrHnff
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hAAe96u5W
For the first time, his reflection told no lies.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfL1nJQduL
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW9U9xHBFh
He took another step. The ice held firm, though it looked thin enough to shatter under breath alone.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsGzypco9Z
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd26bBZR8hA
The silence pressed against him. Not the absence of sound - something heavier. Something that swallowed his own breathing, his heartbeat, until he wasn't sure either existed anymore.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbMVsKDSRZ
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7zdDkKYGP
Cold air filled his lungs. Sharp. Biting. The kind of cold that didn't burn - it simply was, absolute and inescapable.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHd5D8iy5O
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf9jg4Gy31
And despite everything - the desolation, the silence, the bone-deep cold - something unexpected stirred in his chest.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiiWo4EDbd
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdV9qA2MCV
‘Beautiful.’136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQby0xoFsqZ
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIFv4SNSKe
The thought came unbidden, and Cel hated how true it was.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd67Hmr6IDT
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xRWh8NGLa
This place - this endless frozen sea beneath a silent sky - was burned into his memory. He had stood here once before. Fifteen years old, trembling in his Divine Calling, waiting for the Sun God's warmth to break through the cold. Waiting for fire and radiance to claim him as his birthright.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnQiMUCn7y
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjoM3fdXIU
But the sun had never risen.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr6Z4hAzAB
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVomfRV0cr
Instead, the moon had watched.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWDLBJG5RV
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3fR4ppSIf
He had known then. Even before the world told him. Even before the clan cast him aside.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIMtQTyGUN
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh5tbyY5Sf
He had never belonged to the Sun.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhLRR26H28
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qcR0MZNO9
The moon's light sank deeper, into muscle, into bone, until he felt translucent - as if nothing within him could remain hidden.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsbeFzOKw7
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBptiUoaL5
Exposed. Vulnerable.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsieQIEcj2M
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekCJhJmA7n
And yet, he had never felt more alive.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmUK7AgRg7
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6r6UbHFhd
Cel lowered himself to his knees and bowed his head, hands folded.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUyLzszzPd
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUOHvcf54d
When he finally spoke, his voice was barely a whisper. But in the perfect stillness of the frozen sea, even whispers carried.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoPWb9zIoP
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRHgZXeNHV
"Goddess of the Moon… heed my words." They left him without hesitation. No fear. No uncertainty. Only resolve.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KqMlV3bZG
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkc7GgCLpr
"I desire the strength that will make me unstoppable on my journey. I wish to vanquish all who have wished for my demise and those who will do so in the future. I long for a world purged of such malice, where no one can do to others what was done to me."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWlLWxntZN
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6wtnMLK8L
Silence answered.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGC368FqeL
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDQKiIQKvd
Then—136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJwE7FgWs
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEdvZUdfLD
Moonlight.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fXtxcTxI8
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzhXqopyUH
A beam of pure, blinding silver pierced down, bathing him and the ice beneath him in radiant white.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzywJPRJAFF
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TO7WKTxcG
The surface cracked.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmwNfFtgne
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWL3cr1SjS
Jagged veins of light raced outward from the impact point, spiderwebbing across the perfect mirror. They glowed from within, as though something beneath had awakened and was clawing its way upward to meet him.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfrQRcltCM
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9f0dWYuLq
The cracks spread in every direction, fracturing the frozen sea into a thousand gleaming shards that somehow held together.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6o5s3sNY4
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodJZzH8Oav
Cel remained kneeling, hands folded. He felt the vibrations through his legs - subtle tremors that grew stronger with each passing heartbeat.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBdKfDDBNZ
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CEBishi9B
The reflection of the moon rippled across the fractured surface. Distorted. Shifting. Breaking apart and reforming in patterns that shouldn't exist.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVitZAmBT5T
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9CbWW34zB
His breath stopped.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJMq8qibS
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq1zHN0jWp
Something vast swept through him.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhc69NslO8
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy2KqxwRsQ
Formless. Immeasurable. It pressed into every part of his being without force, without sound - weightless yet absolute. It stripped him to his core, exposed every fracture in his soul, every buried wound.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYQSJMpci7
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmijjOuhFv
His back arched involuntarily. Fingers scraped against ice, leaving thin trails of frost. The world blurred, grew distant and irrelevant, as though it no longer had the strength to hold him.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JWEM24k22
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscTIcAUXse
He was neither falling nor rising. Suspended. Adrift in something greater, something beyond naming.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBzYeYDxj
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrSmMH0yWR
The presence enveloped him - not as shackles, not as chains. Something vast and formless that seeped into him like frost spreading across glass.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gHU35kM4y
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKspxb2UsFy
He was not bound.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wlpbBgAWe
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu45UNq3f0a
He was not claimed.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8U5u9yVYg
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHJG8j5Hzy
He was seen.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT1HleOq4K
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtBiZ9MwJW
The cracks in the ice blazed brighter. Silver light bled from each fracture, spilling across the frozen sea until the entire world became luminous veins. Above, the moon pulsed with rising intensity, each beat stronger than the last.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS29FpAv2s
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcsBYKXEJI
Cel's consciousness submerged in cold radiance. In the weight of something infinite and unknowable.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXSogvXh7R
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cyO1foLCu
<<Rise, Chosen One.>> 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M5aUus88M
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SxS3dExna
Light flickered - once, twice - before vanishing entirely.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F9kHVagOk
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkmxabvbNl
The cracks sealed themselves. The ice returned to its perfect, unmarred surface, as if nothing had ever disturbed it.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9stt8SS2f
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1wGqX65v8
Silence reclaimed the frozen sea.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWawrxlCpb3
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlohF7O5qpu
Cel opened his eyes.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmPEUq2yli
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6sOQRHe0c
He swayed as he rose, balance faltering. His own weight felt wrong, unfamiliar - as if his body no longer belonged to him entirely.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMQN3fs0Od
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddeqEkZ9sG
The frozen sea remained beneath him - endless and still.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCqfKZRny8
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqsMA8oXbH
Then it dissolved.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0G51wimyP
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WQX9EPXQt
Mist curled around his ankles in soft currents. The scent of moonlit flowers returned - sharp, sweet, cold. His vision sharpened, details snapping into focus with unnatural clarity.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukiVSAD5rl
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMjwo3u7cb
The sacred ground thrummed beneath his feet - a rhythm that matched something deep in his chest.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnYFEHHiGA
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo53GtY9zls
He had returned.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcspvwt9x2X
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk53lGkVnO
His gaze dropped to his hands. 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrox8dT7Yog
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSvRb91cZv
Cel froze.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw3VYvjxZZ
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3puqt29KS
The hands before him were unrecognizable. No longer skeletal frames wrapped in papery skin, no longer trembling with weakness. The gaunt hollows between tendons had filled. Where starvation had carved him into something barely alive, vitality had returned.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IleEYX7Q4
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe0Rntpb6v
Cel turned them over slowly, studying the transformation. Smooth skin replaced what had been translucent and fragile.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Fk7RDF1C
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36guss4TmQ
His breath quickened.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjIR1jNasI
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLjuAkDels
Fingers curled inward - slowly at first, then tighter - until nails bit into skin.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtlpJEOwAV
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp0vNSx7HI
The pressure was sharp and clear. His hands trembled with it.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGftFtUuiWI
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MN2nURVXd
When he opened his palms again, half-moon indents marked the flesh, pale crescents that darkened as blood rushed back to fill them.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T0rtKhBVm
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7HxyQZYyJ
But these marks were different. Not born of desperation or decay. Born of strength.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyYRDqJYrN
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8NspvPZwn
Of choice.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljkslHUInT
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS3NSOERgz
His gaze traveled down his arms. Lean muscle moved beneath the surface as he flexed experimentally. Not bulky. Not exaggerated. Just… present. Where bone and sinew had once clung together through sheer stubborn will, now there was structure.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDbmd3BWgv
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJfGCw3E9z
Cel touched his chest.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bev2JB0Q0
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcQeXf2xb5
His ribs no longer jutted against skin like prison bars. His heartbeat pounded against his palm - steady, strong, relentless. Each pulse sent warmth radiating through him, pushing back the cold that had lived in his bones for so long.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis6VEmu84l
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxwbZDK4N
He took a breath. Deep. Deeper than he'd managed in months.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOGt7n4kS9
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJkllNP9ot
His lungs expanded fully. No rasp. No rattle. Just clean, crisp air filling him completely before escaping in a slow exhale.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ24LNVCgCa
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxmoSr3ndW
Again. And again.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT71W5K1H5z
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TiDBLoZ85
Each breath felt like discovery.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNUfke1nHM
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVODT7Pbi8
Fingers rose to trace the sharp line of his jaw, the planes of cheekbones. The gauntness hadn't vanished entirely - angles remained where softness might have been. But the flesh beneath was firm now. Vital.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJxpopkaeW
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJd5gOlUrW
Not dying.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaPEJZOqBF
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBHwOBNB7D
He ran his fingers through his hair—136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFvp3QDhEH
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8CB8TzRyx
—and stopped.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbyTE91gXy
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEVcMpdzyP
The texture was wrong.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI7lzV3X8f
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt5wItBZBh
Too soft. Too smooth. Like silk instead of the tangled, brittle mess he'd grown accustomed to.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYduKynsp51
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjqJvG5p5y
Fingers closed around a strand and pulled. It snapped free. Cel brought it close, eyes narrowing.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXoKC9PTrN
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYa5vYwHlt
White.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO2NTO6fx4
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1198odNjpQ
Pure, luminous white - like freshly fallen snow catching moonlight.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGwgkLQfm1
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkaDCbjoOv
His breath caught.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfOtnchx9N
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ285A1l7GkH
He grabbed another strand. Another. His fingers combed through hair that fell to his neck in pale waves, each strand gleaming faintly in the mist.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1fYQNfV80
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzAxfgNzPp
Gone was the dull brown he'd always known. This was something else entirely - a brand of divinity.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfarYf55QrA
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoYdzmAkFf
His hand dropped to his side.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zlIJcEqSB
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaOSUAso6N
He remained still, surrounded by pulsing flowers and swirling mist, feeling the energy that coursed through his body. It was quiet - not violent or overwhelming. Just there. Waiting. Coiled like a sleeping serpent that would wake when called.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wGOX51ReC
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCbVHm6PET
For the first time in longer than he could remember - longer than the year of captivity, longer than the lifetime of disappointment before it - weight lifted from his shoulders.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H94ww35W1
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndLROIx2tA
No pain dragged at his movements. No exhaustion blurred his thoughts. No sickness hollowed him from within.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2zUGJmyfZ
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqhv2RmRUt
He felt… whole.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrwSvGXv7a
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyJfxHlw8o
Cel tilted his head back, gazing up at the moon hanging vast and radiant above him. Its light fell across his upturned face, cool and absolute.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkcWrntJxP
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyja7Ojw0K4
His chest tightened - not with fear, rage or despair.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENdHKKxhPE
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1iJHNCRBn
With something else.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsgcRqVq4t
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyiTF3ZFwU
Something that might have been gratitude, if he still remembered how that felt.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H40HhuXtL
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tUVE535gn
His lips moved, barely a whisper, barely more than a breath.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpPd8qW9cu
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo22DkogBY
But here, in this sacred place, the words carried.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6w9UAVaYA
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsKa9eZlvU
"Thank you." 136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfku2yhhNl3
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYEVcxNDj7
For a single moment, the moonlight seemed to brighten.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS7GCZOlQm
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5GLvB1QU9
Cel took a final breath, then stepped forward.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwKKHPfa4o
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUWHCE9bGr
His foot crossed the threshold of the circle.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE60QlcrVF
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3eOsoW39i
The air lightened around him as he emerged from the sacred ground.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjx9PJIIZM
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqqJ9GOgL2
Selina stood waiting just beyond the flowers, her white robes luminous in the moonlight. Her masked face bore that familiar serene smile.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhWiUzaPXD
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bb8WOqG3n
For a moment, neither of them moved.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmiNocjY36
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuNOZ6bcZS
Then she stepped forward, closing the distance between them.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AzTS49858
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVhRjbjXqY
Her arms wrapped around him - gentle but firm, drawing him into an embrace that carried the warmth of genuine welcome.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZjkKBdMc4
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNyPHeCkcS
Cel stiffened at first, unused to such contact. But slowly, hesitantly, he let himself lean into it. Just slightly. Just enough.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1gGLTtKke
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaAtdAZzXw
Selina's voice came soft against his ear, carrying the weight of something solemn and eternal.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UZy2h5K7r
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NztBNym32
"Welcome, under the wings of the Moon Goddess."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs42OkLervB
