“When the sun burns too bright and the moon forgets her light, darkness wins not by force — but by fear.”
The skies cracked open like an old wound.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5rvT0H30d
Kasei, draped in crimson armor, rode the firestorms from Mars, wielding fury in his palms.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sDDn6EgW2
At his side — Getsu, reborn in voidlight, her gaze colder than the vacuum between stars.
The war had begun.
The Celestial Realms fractured.
The Saturnian Rings closed their gates.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE2MFF1FvX
The Venusians declared neutrality — beauty unbothered by blood.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkylV32t6nS
The Jovian clans whispered of omens, retreating to their clouds.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik4nTMhgVm
Only the Sunside Kingdoms rallied to Kasei’s banner, driven by ancient grudges.
And at the center of it all, the Moon Kingdom trembled.
Whispers of prophecy poisoned the palace halls.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGw0tR8Pfv
Some questioned Tsuki’s right to rule.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbpqsBnRk1
Others feared Getsu’s return was divine retribution.
A faction of lunar nobles — once loyal — began plotting.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKiI0vNOY2
They claimed Tsuki had grown too close to Taiyo, too emotional, too reckless.
Suisei tried to intercept their schemes, but even he was unsure who to trust.
On the battlefield, Kasei’s legions scorched the starlit bridges between realms.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHExjPhawj
He unleashed solar-touched behemoths, flaming serpents, and siege suns that battered the Moon’s outer sanctuaries.
Getsu, meanwhile, worked from within — corrupting moon spirits, silencing oracles, and turning fear into fuel.
Tsuki, torn between duty and revelation, struggled to unite her people.
Taiyo stood by her, even when his own council summoned him back.
“I will not abandon her,” he declared. “Even if it means turning my back on the Sun.”
But as the Eclipse neared, the question hung heavy in the air:
Could unity truly be forged... when the cosmos itself was breaking apart?
In the final moments of the chapter, under a dimming sky, Tsuki stood alone at the Temple of Radiant Tides.
She looked up — not in hope, but in resolve.
“Getsu… I don’t want to fight you.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoHFOzIxrU
But I will protect this light — even if it costs me everything.”
The stars wept silently.
And the eclipse’s shadow began to fall.
