22 parts Complete
Long ago, the full moon vanished, leaving only a half-moon lingering in the sky. The people of Luminara took it as an omen of imbalance, and soon, a prophecy spread-a cursed child must die for the moon to shine whole once more. That child? Sera, an ordinary girl who had never truly belonged. But Sera is far from ordinary. She is the daughter of the lost Moon Deity-a celestial being who forsook divinity to live as a mortal and protect her. When her identity is revealed, betrayal follows. A false prophecy, birthed by her jealous celestial sister, turns the people against her. Desperate and hunted, Sera barely escapes as her mother makes the ultimate sacrifice to awaken the celestial power within her. Now carrying a power she does not understand, Sera embarks on a perilous journey to seek the truth of her existence. Her path leads her through lands filled with danger, where she is guided by an exiled warrior, a cursed seer, and a cunning thief. As she learns to wield her abilities, she uncovers the cruel forces manipulating both the mortal and celestial realms. But when she finally reaches the celestial world, she finds it already under her sister's rule, and the dark forces she once feared have only grown stronger. The final battle is not just against the darkness but against her own blood. As war erupts between the two daughters of the Moon Deity, Sera realizes that balance demands sacrifice-a curse that will change the fate of both realms forever. Stripped of her mortal existence, she must embrace her destiny as a goddess, watching over the world she once called home alongside the sister she once fought. In the end, the moon will curse one and bless another. The twin moons will rise once more, and under their light, a new era will begin. A tale of destiny, betrayal, and sacrifice-where light and darkness collide, and the echoes of the past shape the future.
