Serena followed the priestess, glancing one more time at Darius before he looked away from her gaze.
She exhaled sharply, dragging her fingers along the smooth stone wall as she trailed behind the Moonseeker.
Serena gasped once she stepped into the secluded room. Her eyes lifted to the ceiling, which was painted midnight blue, like the night sky itself. It was speckled with stars, and in the center sat the moon.
Her gaze swept across the walls, each adorned with murals depicting Lunara in different forms.
One showed her clad in armor, sword pointed at an unseen enemy. Another portrayed Lunara in tenderness, cradling a pregnant belly, looking down lovingly.
At the farthest end, Lunara sat with wolves and human-like creatures gathered around her, as though receiving a lesson.
But it was the final mural that made Serena pause. It showed Lunara wiping the tears from someone's face.
Each of these grand murals was accompanied by smaller ones, telling their own unique stories.
