"When two versions of the same soul touch… the lie collapses."
🪞 The Girl Who Wasn't Meant to Be
Selene stood in the middle of her bedroom, trembling.
The window had shattered inward — not glass, but reflected reality.From the shards stepped her — not human, not student.Silver-haired. Barefoot. Glowing like the first moonlight on water.
"You," the human Selene whispered. "You're... me?"
The silver Selene looked at her — eyes endless, ancient, sad.
"I was born when the moon sang your name.You were made when Zahir erased the verse."
🌑 The Origin of Zahir
Far beneath this world, in a place where time folded instead of flowed,Zahir stood before a throne of bones carved from constellations.
He stared into a mirror that reflected nothing.
"Do you remember why I was cast out?" he whispered.
A whisper answered from the void:
"Because you taught mortals how to rewrite fate."
He smiled. "No. That was my kindness."
"Then why?" the mirror asked.
Zahir turned — and in the reflection, he was not alone.He stood with Selene and Aarav, holding both their hands.
"Because I showed the Moon how to love a mortal."
And that love broke the laws written in the stars.
🪙 Aarav's Fractured Memory
Aarav sat alone at the school rooftop, eyes on the sky.
The stars were wrong.
Some were missing.Some had moved.
And the Crown of Selene — the triangle — wasn't there.
He opened his palm. A faint outline of a sigil glowed — burned into his skin the night before.
The Fatebreaker Sigil.
"You are Inkborn," the voice had said. "You don't read fate. You write it."
He blinked — and for a second, he saw the moon blink back.
🌓 Confrontation: Selene vs Selene
Back in her room, the two Selenes stood facing one another.
Human Selene: "I don't understand any of this. Why do I draw things I've never seen? Why do I cry when I see the moon?"
Moonborn Selene: "Because your soul remembers what the mind was forced to forget."
The mirror behind them flickered, showing visions:
Aarav's blood staining moonflowers.
Zahir breaking the quill that wrote their story.
The true Selene — standing on the last island in the sea of stars.
"You're a fragment," the real Selene said gently."But fragments still bleed. And Zahir is using you to keep me trapped."
The human Selene backed away — horrified.And in the moment her palm touched the mirror—
—they merged.
The Truth Awakens
Aarav's eyes snapped open.
The sky had turned black and gold.Everyone in school had frozen.No movement. No sound.
Then he heard her voice again — Selene's voice.
But this time… both versions of her.
"Aarav… we remember now. We're whole."
From the sky, the moon descended like a falling tear.And on it stood Selene — the full Moonborn Queen.
But before Aarav could speak—
Zahir's voice cut across the sky.
"You've remembered too much.It's time to forget… permanently."
And the moon shattered above them.
To be continued…
