Chapter 129

Athena's POV

It's late, at least I think it's late. Currently asleep within a warm bed within a local hotel within the Capital, Elise and Cara both in separate rooms with Iris and Addison. Emma in the second bed opposite of me currently asleep.

"It's the Hunter's Moon," admits Mother Moon.

"Hunter's Moon?"

"Yes. It happens during a total Lunar Eclipse. And with such things bring Chaos, Disruption and Change. Hopefully change for the better" replies Mother Moon.
