Arafed woman sitting in front of a fire in a forest

The air was thick with the smell of burnt wood and ash, and the heat was almost unbearable. Yet amidst the destruction, the light of hope still shone through—Luna's love for Lukis, and their unyielding bond that had just saved the world. "Holy shit!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide with shock as I sprinted through the burning forest. The explosion had been like nothing I'd ever seen before—it was as if the very stars had descended to do battle. When I finally reached the crater, the sight was more horrifying than I could have ever imagined. The trees were on fire, the earth scorched, and the air was filled with the acrid stench of burning shadow. And there, in the center of it all, was Luna, cradling Lukis's unconscious form. As I approached the devastation, I couldn't believe my eyes. The clearing looked like it had been through a war between gods. The forest, once a lush, living bastion of nature, was now a charred wasteland, the trees standing tall as grim sentinels of ash. The very air was thick with the scent of destruction. "Luna!" I called out, my voice hoarse from the smoke and the horror of what had transpired. I saw her through the haze, kneeling beside a body that was unmistakably Lukis, though he was unlike anything I'd ever seen. His human form was replaced by something...otherworldly 🧠 "Luna, what the hell happened here?" I panted, skidding to a stop beside her. Lukis's body was a mess of bruises and burns, and his clothing had been completely incinerated. But that wasn't what had me gaping. He had... horns. And scales. And... "Is he okay?" I managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper. "What happened to him?"
