“Not all shadows are born to destroy — some are born to remember.”
The stars were silent, but Ginga was not.
She descended like a memory from the outer constellations — the Star Archivist, long thought lost beyond the spiral arms. Dressed in robes stitched from comet silk and dusklight, her presence made even time hesitate.
“You are not ready to fight Getsu,” Ginga told Tsuki gently, “until you understand what you truly are.”
And so they entered the Archives of Stars — a celestial vault hidden in the folds of spacetime, where history was etched not in ink, but in starlight and echo.
There, Tsuki saw a memory sealed since her birth:15Please respect copyright.PENANAVwu5Tutetf
A lunar eclipse, roaring with divine energy.15Please respect copyright.PENANAw7HJ35945V
Two infants — one born of light, one of night — split from the same soul.
Getsu was not just her sister.15Please respect copyright.PENANANAsrUNRO3S
She was her shadow, torn from her soul when the heavens blinked.
Tsuki trembled as the truth formed in the cosmos before her.
“She isn’t my enemy…”15Please respect copyright.PENANA57APQOZpfM
“She is me.”
Ginga spoke solemnly:
“The Prophecy never meant one should rule and the other perish. The line was always clear —15Please respect copyright.PENANAUShobXQesF
‘The light split in two shall choose either ruin or rebirth.’15Please respect copyright.PENANALB6WFfbLT6
Not through conquest... but through unity.”
The Trial of Sovereignty was not a duel to the death.15Please respect copyright.PENANAKmPFbVklIM
It was a chance to reunite what fate had divided.15Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ3cYMtese
But only if Tsuki was willing to lose herself to save the Moon.
Later, beneath the stars, Taiyo found her sitting in silence.
“You look like you’ve seen the beginning of everything,” he said softly.
“I did,” Tsuki whispered. “And it ends with a choice.”
She took his hand — and for the first time, her voice was clear, steady.
“I will not kill Getsu. But I will face her. And if it means letting go of my crown... I will.”
High above, the stars shifted — and one glowed brighter than the rest.15Please respect copyright.PENANA7tSSE9fVrG
Not a sun. Not a moon.15Please respect copyright.PENANAgYbe8aCPkl
But something new.
