“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.27Please respect copyright.PENANAgm1uk2P0AY
Kasei, draped in crimson armor, rode the firestorms from Mars, wielding fury in his palms.27Please respect copyright.PENANAaiLoDTbLzB
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.27Please respect copyright.PENANADolkpdiyyB
The Venusians declared neutrality — beauty unbothered by blood.27Please respect copyright.PENANAomQ88iKw71
The Jovian clans whispered of omens, retreating to their clouds.27Please respect copyright.PENANADSSP9GMxVD
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.27Please respect copyright.PENANAS3g97U8laE
Some questioned Tsuki’s right to rule.27Please respect copyright.PENANAA2Av9Tb7A3
Others feared Getsu’s return was divine retribution.
A faction of lunar nobles — once loyal — began plotting.27Please respect copyright.PENANAky6v7fmyRJ
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.27Please respect copyright.PENANAPwtm4CSt4D
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.27Please respect copyright.PENANA4sxKf1qRul
But I will protect this light — even if it costs me everything.”
The stars wept silently.
And the eclipse’s shadow began to fall.
