The blast had consumed everything, and Lyra's world went dark. But fate had other plans for her. In a mysterious and unexplained turn of events, Lyra's soul was reborn into a new body, starting a new life.
Years passed, and Lyra grew up in a small village, unaware of her past life. She met a woman named Aethera, who looked uncannily like a goddess from Lyra's past life. They fell in love, built a life together, and had two children, Kaito and Akida.
Lyra lived a peaceful life, but she often had strange dreams and an inexplicable sense of longing. She couldn't remember her past, but she felt a deep connection to the moon and the stars.
Meanwhile, Kaida was a shadow of her former self. She was consumed by grief and guilt over Lyra's sacrifice. Her mind began to unravel, and she became withdrawn and isolated. She lost touch with reality, and her days blurred together in a haze of sorrow.
Arin, Lyra's brother, had given up on his research and hobbies. He left the clan, feeling lost and purposeless without Lyra. He wandered the world, trying to find a new path.
Aria, on the other hand, was free from the cave. She was enjoying her newfound freedom, exploring the world, and indulging in her love of women. But little did anyone know, Aria held a dark secret. She was the one who had brought back the Shadow King's fragment, and her actions had set the entire chain of events in motion.
Aria's motivations were complex, and her true intentions remained hidden. She seemed to be enjoying the chaos she had unleashed, and her smile hid a sinister secret.
As the chapter closes, Lyra's new life seems peaceful, but the seeds of her past are waiting to be uncovered. Kaida's descent into madness continues, and Aria's secrets threaten to unravel everything. The stage is set for a dramatic conclusion in Chapter 20.
