Hades' Cursed Luna novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452: Blood And Iron

Eve

Everyone exchanged glances. Maya raised a brow, her eyes raking over Thea. "Go on."

"Let’s take the case of a poisonous gas as an example," She rose, gesturing with her hands. "When one is encountered, what is the solution?" she asked.

"A gas mask," Kael answered.

Thea snapped her fingers, her eyes gleaming as though she had seen all the secrets of the universe. "Yes, why not create a vaccine so the gas will have no effect?"

"It wouldn’t make much sense. It would be a waste," Gallinti replied to her question.

"Let us see the radiation as a cataclysmic tide that will fall over our world and instead of trying to find ways to ensure that people don’t react to it, we will try to create a gas mask for it, but on a far larger scale, a containment vessel that the tide cannot penetrate and reach the civilians."

Maya seemed to turn over her words in her head but she still looked unconvinced. "I see what you are saying—you prefer a more physical approach to a biological one."

Thea nodded enthusiastically, delicate hope twinkling in her eyes.

But Maya did not seem at all fazed. "I have been working on the coming of the bloodmoon since the reign of Late Alpha Lucas, the gods bless his soul." Her gaze was cutting as she spoke to Thea, whose shoulders had already begun to slump. "We have attempted shields against the radiation. Every material, every element toxic and non-toxic, every alloy—no one can filter out the radiation much less completely deflect it. No material in existence is impenetrable to the radiation that the Bloodmoon will bring."

Once again we were at a dead end.

We were plummeting again.

But though Thea had looked defeated, she had not sat again, the gears in her head were turning so hard and fast that I was sure that we could hear them.

I locked eyes with everyone except for Kael who was wholly consumed with staring at Thea as she put together a puzzle in her head.

She snapped her finger again, and it sounded like a thunder clap. "Why not use a metal infused with Lily’s... I mean... the Luna’s Fenrir’s marker. It will make it impervious to the radiation, it will be impenetrable."

Again, Maya was not impressed, she even crossed her arms. "Markers are proteins, even supernatural ones such as the Fenrir’s marker. Exposure to heat, pressure or the elements during welding of the metal will completely denature it leaving it absolutely useless—that is if it even bonds properly to the metal."

She was shooting down every suggestion.

Thea’s eyes dimmed again but she still did not sit, she simply refused to give in. The grinding gears in her head resumed.

Again, we exchanged glances, all except Kael who did not look away from her.

Suddenly, Thea’s head whipped to us.

Hades and I.

"Forgive me for the question I am about to ask, are you two mates, whether fated or chosen and if so are you bonded?" She asked it with all seriousness.
