Cel's heart quickened.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79dAKZq1nJ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5O4Hlj7dE
"What do I need to do?" he asked. "A chant? A ritual?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfYdMX3DFI
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxDPaTNYso
Selina shook her head. "No, there is no need for that. You only need to pray."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLwuRxOD34
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE4NoviucZ
He hesitated.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFjc5TIqqn
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuCqw68IDm
"Pray for what?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fEW6eeUSg
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZwtgQHOFn
"Pray for whatever you desire, whatever you wish for, and whatever you long for."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4hjWLFuZU
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnt3iFFMvc
Cel frowned. That was it? No structured words, no guidance?150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDxBiYCcFF
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKbckdMwq4
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ2DX8uJKI
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4f2KOUMpx
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…150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd0KTbthTA
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbi98wxa7k
The thought didn't linger. His mind had already made its decision, long before he even stepped into this place.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDWtR3hefA
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53hzUjGMbS
Without another word, Cel moved forward.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xte3Fmulz
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QAr61Ho8Z
The moment he crossed into the circle of flowers, the air changed.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8VR3R95hM
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83M835ZfoK
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR25QYSqa73
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTcLHtOaIQ
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35f3akkMFg
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOc5PpjQf5
His breath came slow and steady. He stepped into the heart of the circle. 150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfbRvaQ5wh
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3HqKnbXTi
The moonlight swallowed him whole. 150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2GBDkseF0
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXKcXzPaD
Suddenly, the world dissolved.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9oTEXbm5T
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6npL5kUlpQ
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAUD3xthnp
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJpV6zvAoe
Then—stillness.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto79yuILy3
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IWlFffbL0
A frozen sea stretched endlessly before him.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi66rdXopb
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn5CZBzGPf
Cel's breath caught.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKSvkv2hbz
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2qSsbLQpZ
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI8BcT2GJF
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHVtRwoT1d
He took a step forward.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgCe9RJ1K7
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7HbqWZm8u
His footfall made no sound. The ice beneath him was smooth as polished glass. When he looked down, his reflection stared back. 150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCTXo7fsWP
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVzIBzlD7C
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr5An6Cz8O
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA23iCveSVM
For the first time, his reflection told no lies.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmECb05uyt
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGvruTRH5V
He took another step. The ice held firm, though it looked thin enough to shatter under breath alone.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepHrL9PlIW
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxDTrpzjdV
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmbIv1ID0O
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnL3ElMHwW
Cold air filled his lungs. Sharp. Biting. The kind of cold that didn't burn - it simply was, absolute and inescapable.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdNAWH6P7t
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolhoFOZTvO
And despite everything - the desolation, the silence, the bone-deep cold - something unexpected stirred in his chest.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuVfnVEivL
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNaz9IZEo0
‘Beautiful.’150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkYfvTxoqB
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HI99p8K7o
The thought came unbidden, and Cel hated how true it was.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexWAnNs7zj
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7LZDqVKe7
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDUrpYaa4E
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PyX8AoMnH
But the sun had never risen.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFVSOE2HWk
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAE6dHKFTP
Instead, the moon had watched.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50UnCUzOjV
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HB46OCsOR
He had known then. Even before the world told him. Even before the clan cast him aside.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPBgtC4PhZ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGitTz9AXUA
He had never belonged to the Sun.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPkvO14x5e
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWg7o5gSb7
The moon's light sank deeper, into muscle, into bone, until he felt translucent - as if nothing within him could remain hidden.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUcdPesAUh
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dRKZbt7Sq
Exposed. Vulnerable.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCgi6QCOtj
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvYBxFT25d
And yet, he had never felt more alive.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwxgTzuvZF
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEhvdxmaGP
Cel lowered himself to his knees and bowed his head, hands folded.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApSmWDVEvO
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYuPcM5EtX
When he finally spoke, his voice was barely a whisper. But in the perfect stillness of the frozen sea, even whispers carried.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SXsheoGtF
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbaMdJ9yTh
"Goddess of the Moon… heed my words." They left him without hesitation. No fear. No uncertainty. Only resolve.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VuQoh6X9T
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgTia1uzpN
"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."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8v0XIhlpr
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKEiOcv9Hu
Silence answered.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3ZLZU8B3F
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTh2HfcBhB
Then—150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0o4xm91Dx
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wncz8iYzd
Moonlight.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy7dXvRG82
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB57vyD17Lp
A beam of pure, blinding silver pierced down, bathing him and the ice beneath him in radiant white.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYFhduMQQ9
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0zJc4bXai
The surface cracked.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrBf5HPJEP
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnWPEzxHMH
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHRz9KbgfE
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKRJjb4rky
The cracks spread in every direction, fracturing the frozen sea into a thousand gleaming shards that somehow held together.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJakhp52D6
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b8BCj5jiH
Cel remained kneeling, hands folded. He felt the vibrations through his legs - subtle tremors that grew stronger with each passing heartbeat.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Pyl8pVCw
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRR0SRuQZJ
The reflection of the moon rippled across the fractured surface. Distorted. Shifting. Breaking apart and reforming in patterns that shouldn't exist.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIPI1JgqAB
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnHbLsijV7
His breath stopped.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J8wYTkRFY
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaVfPLPM2K
Something vast swept through him.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7hdlJkrkW
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQlqicwEy
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGAEPJwykW
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoEbivHWWO
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAA0VVdyHL
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOS6EdWzna
He was neither falling nor rising. Suspended. Adrift in something greater, something beyond naming.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY2uXQSfzN
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pT8vxoZbk
The presence enveloped him - not as shackles, not as chains. Something vast and formless that seeped into him like frost spreading across glass.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SpTXy8Mgi
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJygtLGXJl
He was not bound.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7M9vmyy4T
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyXdzChpQy
He was not claimed.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne7Lwf7Qv2
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQISYdXYnw
He was seen.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK2GgHbGUa
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ78umiwWX
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFmNQj9gos
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s9N8WVUXI
Cel's consciousness submerged in cold radiance. In the weight of something infinite and unknowable.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiR7C4KoMb
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSyQUXqZg
<<Rise, Chosen One.>> 150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqNN1xAzgS
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJL7DIhIPN
Light flickered - once, twice - before vanishing entirely.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZVuB92idF
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaueVrBsvo0
The cracks sealed themselves. The ice returned to its perfect, unmarred surface, as if nothing had ever disturbed it.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfVW3bwwWd
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEmnI7F3mB
Silence reclaimed the frozen sea.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIOnuirKRl
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRQ0fVyo4I
Cel opened his eyes.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVZ1TCak34
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvppGhkj9e
He swayed as he rose, balance faltering. His own weight felt wrong, unfamiliar - as if his body no longer belonged to him entirely.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEU8o3uQZH
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1z9KaDQJj
The frozen sea remained beneath him - endless and still.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBQWo8azXH
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOCRO0Z7z5
Then it dissolved.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPxiq6Hr61
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOlZIwDCMg
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzigoOQhIvL
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJERFBKlOXQ
The sacred ground thrummed beneath his feet - a rhythm that matched something deep in his chest.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VyiDLz6YD
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kSWL3ooFy
He had returned.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdKQW5Kbas
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyE2pYzPhQ
His gaze dropped to his hands. 150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlCrIZqHLg
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyNVgXvDBk
Cel froze.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLWUAntqGd
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gxkHQ7nmy
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7ZBgh9S62
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnccUnhZoGV
Cel turned them over slowly, studying the transformation. Smooth skin replaced what had been translucent and fragile.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrQSuldnQA
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZKyCfuWLS
His breath quickened.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6uk6pgWUz
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ5qffXAQy
Fingers curled inward - slowly at first, then tighter - until nails bit into skin.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxjyqjOCQc
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J9104K39p
The pressure was sharp and clear. His hands trembled with it.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDJeHP6U1v
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm1Hikx7rF
When he opened his palms again, half-moon indents marked the flesh, pale crescents that darkened as blood rushed back to fill them.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM3TQvtLQR
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWiat2c7jX
But these marks were different. Not born of desperation or decay. Born of strength.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsDA9vjoL
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2d2tEgsZy
Of choice.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX09a5Nb6rS
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRlTA2JEQk
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnnEJcmcx6
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR22lnhsky9
Cel touched his chest.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjX6IT0lJW
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8miK0ebAs
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nKoviUhNd
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwwjCzdlPJ
He took a breath. Deep. Deeper than he'd managed in months.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIqDhWYHSK
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UvVns0bjS
His lungs expanded fully. No rasp. No rattle. Just clean, crisp air filling him completely before escaping in a slow exhale.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuiHC6aHIO
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSps5H1JzNr
Again. And again.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpHpe9K0U6
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAJT7nbbOL
Each breath felt like discovery.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkodZ5Qk9gL
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhuKYxRrbO
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6uIobbIlT
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpte9hyLiKN
Not dying.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PoJfQtGA7
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKYVf0z47a
He ran his fingers through his hair—150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Pv1XIGIT
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AAVbnsHJF
—and stopped.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwzUKD8fzU
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZblU3j9kP
The texture was wrong.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6ZTihV1kX
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQhhBqpOHi
Too soft. Too smooth. Like silk instead of the tangled, brittle mess he'd grown accustomed to.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWKL1h43UO
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo2ufX8U45
Fingers closed around a strand and pulled. It snapped free. Cel brought it close, eyes narrowing.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWgSxjNgRV
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kFyF86FGA
White.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEcNX1epfJ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfx63zk196
Pure, luminous white - like freshly fallen snow catching moonlight.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa69d6K46x
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKsdTzk5Mn
His breath caught.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCHqE1ziG5
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg4NEgwDP8
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLz4BZCAJr
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigFPFclL7O
Gone was the dull brown he'd always known. This was something else entirely - a brand of divinity.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwDmEF8zAv
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1y90W3VWB
His hand dropped to his side.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj2HWxEOB6
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQFf3Mo9Ss
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSgEVgScqG
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqRFG14xdx
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfc8zhqeXJ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNuIFSIi04
No pain dragged at his movements. No exhaustion blurred his thoughts. No sickness hollowed him from within.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcETnSZjEw
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiUCyne6Tv
He felt… whole.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqY6Zojbsj
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpypa7EKHD9
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ946ha5OA9n
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnIrefObTA
His chest tightened - not with fear, rage or despair.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LzdzC7Bns
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsV5ByKUIQ
With something else.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOri61eoN0
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZdv3lOS2N
Something that might have been gratitude, if he still remembered how that felt.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRwoh7DAnF
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X2mTLJGJj
His lips moved, barely a whisper, barely more than a breath.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VtSxobgri
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv5wKF3IKI
But here, in this sacred place, the words carried.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMydRNxruE
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRR2WlfxE6
"Thank you." 150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7lUsg9Kci
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNReQ1TAyli
For a single moment, the moonlight seemed to brighten.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDeUV6dnMs
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Iyp1dDkG
Cel took a final breath, then stepped forward.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3gqkkvL7
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwzp9TIv9O
His foot crossed the threshold of the circle.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VnNoiqzFs
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ6JYXqeWB
The air lightened around him as he emerged from the sacred ground.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTjLXxmuvy
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SEFt4T71e
Selina stood waiting just beyond the flowers, her white robes luminous in the moonlight. Her masked face bore that familiar serene smile.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBj2zjzSYE
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO8qCWT045
For a moment, neither of them moved.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0aRjabPsy
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5bNXa5dl2
Then she stepped forward, closing the distance between them.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcWnQpN9t8
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLGlbRHl7N
Her arms wrapped around him - gentle but firm, drawing him into an embrace that carried the warmth of genuine welcome.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NHZAbUPg2
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKz0BKMPbE
Cel stiffened at first, unused to such contact. But slowly, hesitantly, he let himself lean into it. Just slightly. Just enough.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG510KRwnZ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyukXztP7n
Selina's voice came soft against his ear, carrying the weight of something solemn and eternal.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP3RZJPeSf
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogR8617LJH
