The moment my lunar veil disalpated, the bitter cold of Mount Den hit me like a wave. We had arrived. The summit stretched before us, an ancient ruin carved into the peak, standing against the night like the last remains of a forgotten era. Towering monoliths of stone and ice loomed overhead, their surfaces pulsing intly with old magic, their inscriptions written in a language

She gestured to my mates,
“You and your beloved mates can rule together. A new age. A kingdom where no one will dare defy you.”
