Chapter Twenty-One
Summary
- Ruhn Danaan waits for his sister at Luna’s Temple, reflected on the significance of the statue of Luna and her link to both the wolves and Fae.
- Ruhn's sister, Bryce, arrives with Hunt Athalar. Both parties are initially not enthralled to see each other but decide to exchange information.
- Ruhn's investigation reveals that they need to find Luna’s Horn, an old weapon used during the First Wars by the first Starborn Prince, Pelias.
- Ruhn shares that the Star-Eater had created a new demon, the kristallos, just to hunt the Horn.
- Bryce recalls encountering the demon when it attacked her and another angel in an alley.
- They debate why the Horn, long dismissed as powerless after its cracking, would now be actively hunted again. They suggest that the Horn may still be in Lunathion and that finding the kristallos will lead them to it.
- Ruhn was asked to search for the Horn because of his shared bloodline with Pelias and the potential that he might be able to locate it due to this heritage.
- Hunt makes a call to Justinian Gelos to look for additional information on the kristallos.
- Ruhn, Bryce, and Hunt agree that they need to find the Horn as it seems to be the key to the case.
