A Chronicles of the Fantasia Continent
Two divine sisters tore a newborn world apart-and left mortals to decide its fate. From the Creator's dream rose Aeliana, Goddess of Dawn and order, and Nyx, Queen of Shadows and possibility. Their rivalry, once a distant celestial dance, became open war. Lesser gods chose sides. The sisters descended and forged champions: the radiant Aethra and the fearsome Umbrals-masterworks so specialized that, in some gifts, they rivaled their makers. Stars went dark. The earth split. In grief and fury, the Creator bound His daughters deep beneath the world. The land took a new name: Aethelgard-the God-Prison. But their armies fought on. Seeking balance, the Creator spent his last spark to make Humanity-creatures of compassion and cruelty, capable of mediating light and shadow, and, through discipline, of climbing toward godhood itself. Apotheosis became the ultimate mortal dream. A thousand years of uneasy peace followed. Ambition broke it. The War of a Hundred Races redrew the map in blood. From the ruins rose seven powers, with fragile city-states between them. In secret, Aethra and Umbrals manipulated the living like pieces on a board. Now the stalemate frays. Old songs stir. Hidden weapons wake. Heroes and monsters-sometimes the same-move in the dark to claim a future neither goddess could foresee. Welcome to Aethelgard, where gods are buried, mortals reach for heaven, and one choice can unmake a world.

Seventeen years ago, a daughter was born in flame. Raised by demons. Forged for conquest. Nyx, the only child of Dazareth-the King of the Underworld-is prophesied to bring the land of the living, Gaia, to its knees.

But on the eve of her descent into Gaia, secrets rise from the shadows of prophecy. Her mother-Lilith, a vanished mind-weaver-returns with a truth too dangerous to speak aloud. Nyx is not a conqueror. She is the cost. Betrayed and cast into a world she was meant to destroy, Nyx awakens powerless, her memories fractured, her runes sealed. The only clue to her past: a forest, a stranger, and a city where magic is tamed and truth is buried. Now, hidden among scholars and soldiers at the Academy of Arcanon, Nyx must unravel the legacy etched into her bones. But as her fire stirs, so do the cracks in the world-and in herself. Because Gaia remembers what Hell tried to erase. And so does she.Complete

An echo of Kings
"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. 📖 What to Expect ✔ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror ✔ Psychological Dread & Isolation ✔ The Mystery ✔ Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses ✔ Slow Burn Character Growth ✔ Loss of Humanity ⚠️ Content Warnings ✔ Violence & Gore ✔ Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting ✔ Body Horror ✔ Dark/Mature Themes 📅 Update Schedule ✔ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday ★ Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.
