"Damn it!!" Luna cursed under her breath.
She was already on the floor, heavily panting from exhaustion as a growing headache was already fast splitting her sanity. The dust made it hard to breathe while she struggled to reel in the ancient magic wreaking havoc within her core.
For a moment, she thought it was just her imagination, for the shadow seemed to have vanished. But what imagination would have brought a whole door down? She shook her head, her vision blurring for a second as the shard dug itself deeper into her heart, drawing the other piece hidden in her core.
As they fused, Luna cried out in agony.
"Aaargh!"
The goddess clutched her chest, letting her body crash onto the cold, dusty floor. She lay there panting, resisting the urge to pull out the fusing shards that were excruciatingly warring with the forces within her. As much as the moon drew from the sun, they weren't in any world equal in might.
