When the moon finally opens her eyes, even gods tremble."
🌕 The Moment Time Forgot
Aarav's body collapsed in slow motion.
Selene watched his final breath leave his lips. The sound of his name — caught in her throat — never escaped. Her fingers trembled midair, inches from his cheek.
And in that stillness, something ancient inside her snapped.
Not like glass.But like a seal.
A whisper: "Remember what they made you forget."
The triangle constellation above her flared like a heartbeat.The Crown of Selene ignited in silver flame.
And her memories came back in pieces:
A throne of stars.
A blade made of her own light.
A promise whispered under a red moon: "Even if I forget you, find me again."
Her breath turned to frost. Her hair rose as if caught in a tide. Her silver eyes turned white.
🌌 Selene, Unbound
The Void-Aarav took a step back.
"No," he said, voice cracking for the first time."It's too early. She wasn't supposed to awaken—yet!"
Selene floated inches off the ground, her body cocooned in silver moonlight. Her dress tore away in places, replaced by swirling lunar armor — not metal, but memory made manifest.
Aarav's body flickered, held at the edge of life by the last second on the broken pocket watch. Suspended between breaths.
"You touched him," Selene whispered."You rewrote our fate."
She raised her hand.
"Let me remind you whose story this is."
🌠The Collapse Begins
The Crown of Selene rotated above her head like a halo, but the sky behind her cracked. Not just stars—timelines splintered, revealing other versions of her life:
One where she burned the world to save Aarav.
One where she forgot him completely.
One where she was hunted by the other moons.
And in all of them, one thing remained:
He always tried to find her.
The constellation above twisted into a fourth shape — a forbidden one. Noorva screamed.
"Selene, don't! That's the Fatebreaker Sigil! If you invoke it now—"
But it was too late.
Selene spoke the name only Moonborn Queens were forbidden to say:
"Zahir."
The name rang like thunder across the dimensions.
🕯️ The Hidden God Wakes
Somewhere beneath all worlds, something ancient opened its eyes.
Chains broke. A mouth whispered behind reality:
"The moon remembers me?"
Selene collapsed to her knees as blood spilled from her eyes.
Noorva grabbed her.
"You summoned Zahir. You don't understand—he's not a god.He's the one who taught gods to lie."
The Void-Aarav dropped his crown.His voice trembled.
"You've doomed us all."
: The Whisper Under the Moon
As Selene faded from consciousness, she fell over Aarav's chest. His heartbeat returned—barely.
The pocket watch spun violently, cracking open. A voice poured from within:
"Time is no longer yours."
Above them, the sky ripped open—And Zahir stepped through.
He was neither light nor shadow. He was memory itself undone.
"You two wrote a love story across the stars," he said, smiling."Shall we see how it ends… when I erase the beginning?"
To be continued…
