Luna felt a dull throbbing sensation throughout her body as she regained consciousness. Or at least she thought she was conscious that is. Instead of the cave where she had been fighting alongside her friends, she was now in a vast open field.
Yet the field was imnsely wrong as instead of rivers composed of water, blood coursed through the streams, the acrid tallic taste hanging heavily in the air and despite her best efforts to deny it, she found the sll surprisingly pleasant.
"Where am I....?"
Her voice was soft as confusion sank in. She had no idea how she got here.
'Did I die? Is this hell?!'
Suddenly a booming laughter rattled her ears.
"Hahaha! Fear not my brave little warrior! You are not dead. I rely drew in your consciousness so that we may et face to face at least once!"
Whipping her body around to face the owner of the voice, she saw what she could only describe as a topless muscular brute sat on an ornate tal throne. Even from a distance she could tell that the tal reeked of blood as if it was used in many fierce battles.
Yet she felt no fear from the man, instead his presence was almost..forting to her.
'No! I won't be swayed!'
She bared her teeth as she growled at the mysterious man before her.
"Who the fuck are you?!"
The response caused the man to freeze for a mont before he began guffawing loud again, each syllable seed to shake the very air around them.
"You t the Spider already. She called a Himbo~! I can't reveal my true na to you, only my title for now. I am a God of War, the main deity of your kin. Though I guess you wouldn't know that as you are an outsider...Soluna.."
For the first ti, a glimr of fear sparked in Luna's eyes.
'How does he know my real na?!'
"Gods are capable of far more than just knowing the na of my Child...Like reading your mind while you remain in my domain for example~!
Luna's eye twitched as she felt so annoyance burn in her heart.
"Then what do you want? Why did you bring here?!"
"Why? It's because I have taken an interest in you Child. While so of my fellow Gods have given their favorites so gifts, I have yet to do so..."
Luna tilted her head in confusion
"Gods? Gifts? What the hell are you talking about?!"
"It is not my place to gossip about my fellow gods. All you need to know is I shall grant you three things..."
Luna could feel her heartbeat quickening as suspense began to build up inside.
"First. Once your team has defeated the Beast, A weapon suitable for you will arrive. .Ask your brother to use a skill he possesses on it."
"Second...and Third I guess are two skills I shall grant you. Use them well..."
As soon as he said that, he reached into his mouth that was filled with an array of razor sharp teeth. With a re grunt and a flick of his wrist, 2 teeth snapped and lay in his hand.
Before Luna could remark on how gross that was, the man tossed them towards her.
"Oops. You may wanna dodge that.."
Warning bells rang out in Luna's head as she jumped back as far as she could, just in ti to dodge 2 massive ivory pillars becoming embedded in the ground where she once stood.
It was at this mont that Luna realized that the supposed 'God' was actually much bigger than she perceived as even a single tooth was bigger than a midsize SUV.
"Good Job Dodging Young Warrior~! These two contain the skills I speak of. Touch it and they shall be yours!"
Left with no other choice, she placed her hands on the two ivory pillars. Monts later, waves of information flowed into her head. She had gained a powerful active and passive skill!

Luna was in awe of these abilities. She turned back to face the god to thank him but he was no longer sitting there. In fact his presence itself felt faint, a soft whisper echoing in her ear.
"We shall et again in the future Child. Until then...Take Care and carve your own path..."
No sooner than the voice had spoken, the world around her seed to be destabilizing, collapsing in on itself while her own vision faded to black once more.
Luna's eyes opened with a start as the sound of tal clashing alongside the earthy sll of the cave assaulted her senses.
"Luna! You're awake!"
Before she could react any further, Luna found herself getting caught up in a hug by Lily who clung to her as if she would float away if she didn't.
"What's going on?" she asked with a groan, sitting up as she patted Lily's back in a comforting manner.
Nyx, whose exhausted condition had yet to improve, pointed towards where Onikiba and Leo were dueling.
Luna could feel her fighting spirit soar as she watched, her knuckles itched as the desire to fight began to grow stronger with each passing mont.
Lily was the first to notice the change in Luna's gaze. It was as if her best friend was extrely...excited!
Luna quickly broke free from Lily's grip before she stood up and jumped on the spot as if she was getting ready to do sothing.
"Leo! Restrain it!"
She roared as she launched herself forward towards where the two were fighting.
Horo and Sonata eyes flickered with shock as a crimson energy began to surge from Luna's body, covering her in a blood like aura and the faint outline of a crimson moon began to form behind her head as she charged towards Onikiba.
She had no weapon.
Yet she didn't care.
Onikiba turned, sensing danger
just as Luna let out a savage roar, her bare fists glowing with violent intent.
Their eyes locked.
Impact was inevitable.
