The Sickened Luna's Last Chance novel Chapter 411

**The Perfect 411**

The Viridian Crystal. It echoed in my mind like a melody from a forgotten fairytale, a whimsical relic of a time long past—and indeed, it was. As Anya’s mother recounted the ancient legend to me, her voice rich with nostalgia, I found myself grappling with a curious sensation. Where did the enchanting tale end, and where did the stark reality begin?

According to the folklore passed down through generations, the crystal was believed to possess the extraordinary ability to purge the world of malevolent forces. It was said to have the power to release tormented souls from their earthly binds and lift the heaviest curses that plagued the innocent. The crystal held within it a fragment of the moon itself, a shimmering shard that allowed its possessor to illuminate the darkest nights when the moon was shrouded from view.

Yet, the story took a darker turn. There was a time when the Moon Goddess’s nemesis, an enigmatic goddess of darkness whose name had been lost to time, sought to obliterate the crystal. In a fierce confrontation, she nearly succeeded, compelling the Moon Goddess to conceal the crystal in a place where no mortal could ever hope to find it.

“No one has ever discovered it,” Anya’s mother remarked, her shoulders lifting in a casual shrug. “Some say it lingers still, waiting patiently for a true hero to uncover it and wield it against the encroaching shadows.”

“Who could possibly wield such power?” I inquired, my curiosity piqued.

“Oh, it would likely require a formidable witch,” Anya’s mother replied thoughtfully. “A wielder would need a profound mastery of the arcane arts, a deep connection to the magic of the Moon Goddess herself.”

A powerful witch. The thought sent a chill down my spine, for I had known one once—Julie. The memory of her fate haunted me, a ghost that refused to be laid to rest. She had deserved so much more than what had happened to her.

“But it’s just a story, right?” Anya interjected, her voice tinged with skepticism. “I mean, there’s no way something like that could actually exist.”

Her mother raised an eyebrow, a hint of mischief dancing in her eyes. “Why not? Your friend here has already been ensnared by a curse, and now it seems spirits are tormenting her husband.”

“The existence of a magical crystal doesn’t seem too far-fetched these days,” I murmured under my breath, my mind racing with possibilities. Standing up, I made a decision that felt heavy yet necessary. “Is it alright if I leave Lucien here for a couple of hours while I investigate something? I would bring him back to the house, but…”
