Chapter 241: Freedom
Liam’s P.O.V.
The moment the golden light faded, the space around us seemed to crackle with an invisible force. My heartbeat slammed against my ribs as the two figures—Laevira and Raivo—remained eerily still before me.
The Moon Goddess stood between us, her ethereal presence made the air feel heavier. Then, with the simplest flick of her wrist, their eyes snapped into focus.
A sharp inhale left my lips as Laevira’s deep violet gaze landed on me, her irises swirling like a violent storm. She blinked once, her long white lashes sweeping down before her lips curled into a slow, knowing smirk.
"Well," she murmured, her voice like silk laced with venom, "this is unexpected."
Raivo, the red-haired, battle-worn menace beside her, cracked his neck with a low, predatory chuckle. His crimson eyes locked onto the Moon Goddess with a look that sent a chill down my spine.
"I must say," he mused, his voice deep and taunting, "it has been a while since I’ve been free from a cage."
They stood there—powerful, ancient, terrifying. And yet, the Moon Goddess remained unmoved.
"You have caused enough havoc in this world," she said, her voice quiet but carrying an undeniable weight. "Far too long have you tormented innocent souls, bending them to your will, poisoning their minds, destroying what was never yours to break."
A flicker of something crossed Laevira’s face—amusement? Annoyance? Whatever it was, it disappeared just as quickly as it had come. She crossed her arms, tilting her head slightly.
"Havoc?" she echoed, feigning innocence. "Oh, Moon Goddess, we merely gave the world what it needed—fire, chaos, a little... unpredictability."
