Selene was born into the powerful Lunaris clan, where worship of the moon goddess was the basis of their culture and beliefs. She was surrounded by the teachings and traditions that venerated the goddess of the moon. From a young age, she was trained in sacred rituals and in the use of mystical abilities that were associated with the influence of the moon. she showed exceptional talent in wielding the mystical abilities associated with lunar influence.

However, Selene's happiness was abruptly cut short when, at the age of ten, her clan was attacked by a rival faction that desired control of its territory and resources. In the chaos and violence of the attack, Selene lost her parents and her younger sister, leaving her the only survivor of her family.

After the attack, Selene was taken prisoner by her attackers, who subjected her to years of slavery and abuse. Forced to perform forced labor and endure physical and emotional abuse, Selene lived in constant anguish and despair.

During her captivity, Selene never stopped remembering the teachings of her clan and the worship of the moon goddess. In the darkest moments of her existence, she found comfort in the hope that the goddess would protect her and guide her to freedom.

Finally, after years of suffering, Selene managed to escape from her captors thanks to a risky escape plan. Wounded and exhausted, she arrived at the clan's main town, far from her former home and the painful memories that tormented her.

However, Selene's life took an even darker turn when she was wrongly accused of treason and for having helped the Solaris clan destroy the village she was in before, she was accused by influential members within the clan. False accusations of conspiracy and deception were leveled against her, sowing distrust and fear among her own colleagues.

Despite her innocence and Selene's desperate pleas, the clan council decided to exile her, condemning her to an uncertain fate far from her home and those she once considered her family. Selene was mercilessly expelled from her community, abandoned to her fate in a hostile and unknown world.

For years, Selene wandered through inhospitable lands, facing constant danger and deprivation. Without a place to call home and without the support of her family, she was forced to survive in extreme conditions, fighting loneliness and despair.

Selene's exile not only represented the loss of her home and her identity, but also the end of all her hopes and dreams. Her clan's betrayal and abandonment scarred her deeply, leaving emotional scars that she would never fully heal.

In the midst of the loneliness of the road and the darkness of the forest, Selene was found by a man who gave her strength and a reason to move forward, fueled by the fire of revenge and the desire to find a new purpose in her life. Now, her path is marked by the quest for revenge and hatred, she wants the opportunity to prove her true worth to what she once called life, far from the prejudices and injustice that dogged her in her past.

Now, Selene carries with her the physical and emotional scars of her past, struggling to find her place in a world that took away everything she loved. Although she is no longer part of the Lunaris clan, the influence of the moon remains a fundamental part of her being, reminding her every night of the bonds she once had and the losses she suffered.

(Selene's perspective)

(Flashback)

I ran while my mind assimilated how the little that remained of my hope was destroyed, my legs were the only allies I had left in this desperate escape. Each step resonated in my mind like a racing heartbeat, while tears flooded my cheeks, mixing with the sweat and blood that emanated from my wounds. The physical pain intertwined with the pain of my soul, forming a whirlwind of agony that threatened to devour me whole.

The roofs followed one another beneath my feet, being mute witnesses of my desperation. The cold bit into my skin, reminding me of my own vulnerability in the midst of this endless race. My muscles gave out with each stride, crying out for a break I couldn't afford. Not now. Not when he was so close to death.

The guards, like implacable shadows, persisted in their pursuit. Their voices echoed in the night, full of threats and condemnations. But I couldn't allow myself to be captured. No again. Not after everything he had suffered.

The forest spread before me like a dark blanket, promising shelter and hope. My feet hit the ground with renewed determination, propelling me forward, towards the border that separated oppression from freedom. But fate, capricious and cruel, decided to intervene once again.

I stumbled. My knees hit the ground hard, sending a wave of pain through my exhausted body. Discouragement washed over me, threatening to drown me in despair. Had all my efforts been in vain?

I began to crawl with my injured hands, my nails began to bleed a lot due to the roughness and the injuries, a feeling that the end had arrived invaded me, my tears now dominated my face... I was tired of everything... despite I wanted this hell to end... something in me just wanted to live... I didn't want to die like this.

Then a voice broke the silence of the night. At first, just a whisper in the darkness, but soon it became a beacon of hope in the midst of the storm. I looked up, meeting the eyes of a man whose presence radiated a strange aura of calm and mystery.

His words reached me like a balm for a wounded soul. She extended her hand toward me, offering me a way out of this maze of pain and despair. Without thinking twice, I took it, clinging to it as if it were my only lifeline in the middle of a stormy sea.

But the peace was short-lived. The guards, relentless in their duty, caught up with us, accusing us of treason and challenging our right to freedom. The sword rose menacingly, promising a violent end to this macabre dance of life and death.

In a small whisper he told me: "Don't worry... it will all be over soon."

It was then that the stranger became my savior, defying fate with an act of bravery and supernatural power. Blood sprayed into the air, tinged with the darkness of the night, as the skeletons fell to the ground, victims of a force beyond all comprehension.

My tears came with renewed intensity, mixing relief with pain and gratitude. I had found a protector in this world of shadows and darkness, a hero willing to defy the entire universe for me.

He approached me and picked me up.

Exhausted, I let exhaustion and relief wash over me, allowing sleep to envelop me in its warm, welcoming arms. For the first time in a long time, I was able to sleep in peace, knowing that, although the road was difficult and dangerous, I was not alone in this fight for freedom.

Whisper: "You did a good job"

(Flashback End)

I still remember that day, when my savior appeared and took me out of that horrible town.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but the day has finally come when I will take revenge, there will be no one left alive.

A ray of light shot towards the moon and little by little it changed its color, the girl little by little lost her consciousness, her eyes turned red, instead her instincts took control, her feelings were what guided her movements. All the hatred he had accumulated was taking control of his body.

She passed the border of the forest and was greeted with attacks from spells and archers, but she took out her knives and blocked everything with strength and speed.

Elite warriors appeared to stop her at the entrance of the border, she ran towards them while blocking all the attacks and dodging, when she was about to collide with them, she disappeared.

The warriors were confused, although they noticed something strange, their companions had stopped shooting.

They heard muffled screams.

When one of them looked behind him he saw the girl on a pile of corpses.

However, they noticed that he had not killed them, he had only left them on the verge of death, while they were unconscious.

She wanted them to suffer until the last moment, she had caused the wounds in such a way that they could not be saved, only great suffering awaited them before death.

Some of them preferred to commit suicide with their own weapons.

Everyone was shocked, or so the soldier who had seen the scene believed, since when he realized it his companions were dead next to him.

Soldier: What!? Impossible...

He was totally tormented, he didn't understand what was happening, he was going to brandish his weapon to fight his last battle but when he raised his arms he only saw streams of blood coming out of them.

He had lost his arms and hadn't realized it.

The soldier went into shock, as he assimilated everything he saw how out of nowhere he fell to the side.

He thought he had lost his balance and tried to stand up, but he saw his body to the side, his head had been cut off and he didn't realize it.

When Selene was about to continue advancing when she noticed a presence.

It was a hooded girl, the girl touched the soldier's head and he began to slowly close his eyes without suffering.

Nocturnia: So you're back Selene, a shame you've lost your way.

While saying these he began to take out his daggers.

Selene just looked at her, and in an instant she had already pierced her with her knives.

However, Selene was the one who received damage from behind with one of the Watcher's daggers. Selene made a quick movement but the Watcher had already merged with the shadows.

Nocturnia: Your parents would be disappointed in you.

Selene did not respond, but a red aura began to emanate from her.

The Watcher began to realize something.

(Nocturnia's perspective)

How strange she doesn't respond, it's like it's not her, something must be controlling her, whatever it is, you just have to make her come to her senses, at least I think so.

The real problem was that the only opportunity she had had she missed, she was almost sure she wasn't going to fall for the same trick twice, she needed to get close to her so she could induce a protective sleep.

While the Watcher was thinking, Selene closed her eyes and stayed still, this made the Watcher a little uneasy, clearly it was some trick of something, from one moment to the next she opened her red eyes, but there was something different, I had a bad feeling.

She was staring at her even though she was hidden in the shadows of darkness.

There was no way she could see me.

Out of nowhere Selene started attacking the shadows, but she was attacking exactly where the Watcher was hiding.

This surprised her too much no one should be able to do that.

The Watcher was forced to go out and fight her.

However, the difference in power was clear, it wouldn't last a minute even if he gave it his all, he had no escape, he had to try to touch her even if he died.

While they exchanged blows with their weapons, the surveillance created illusions and attacked in coordination.

Selene was able to see what the real Watcher was so without hesitation she attacked her, she was surprised and received her attack.

But it disappeared, Selene was somewhat taken aback, when she felt a hand touch her head from behind.

Nocturnia: With this she should enter protective sleep and bring her back to consciousness.

Apparently Selene was deceived by the illusions, although the reality was that the Watcher could change position with her illusions.

However, Selene with a quick movement stabbed his heart with her two knives.

The Watcher was surprised, it was impossible, no one can escape protective dreams, as she fell she saw everything in slow motion, she realized something, Selene was smiling like a maniac.

The Watcher understood that she was not conscious, that's why she continued moving.

The protective sleep must have affected her but I did not realize that she was unconscious.

Before dying the Watcher smiled at him.

Nocturnia: Sorry I didn't arrive on time... Selene...

After that Selene tore it to pieces in less than a second.

But her tears began to fall unconsciously, her expressionless body continued walking but her soul reflected something else.

He continued walking towards the main doors to massacre them all, with the death of the Watchers, the entrances and the clan were not going to last long, they had lost their main defense.

Now only the internal defense of the Clan remained.

(Mizuki's perspective)

Hours had passed since the attack, and the only thing I heard was bad news, although within all that there were things that could be rescued.

Sombrio, Stellar and Nocturnia had been killed although they had not yet received any reports from Umbra, he may still be alive but the chances are slim, apparently the only one who managed to block the enemy at the cost of her life was Stellar.

Mizuki: Let the soldiers of the western gate gather here to strengthen the defense.

Soldier: Yes ma'am!

Apparently our enemies were strong, what will be their objective? Will it be my sister? She was the only thing he could think of.

While Mizuki thinking, began to hear screams, he looked down from the balcony and saw many skeletons entering the base and attacking everything that crossed their path.

Robert: That doesn't look good at all.

Mizuki: We are slowly running out of strength.

Alicia: We will go help.

I looked at her with great fear, I didn't want them to risk their lives..

Robert touched my shoulder and nodded, I understood the message.

Mizuki: Okay go, but if the situation gets out of control you have the order to flee, you can't disobey.

Everyone nodded and got ready to leave the temple.
