In the heart of the desert lies Ruh Al-Saqr, an ancient city resilient against the relentless sands and rival powers that covet its riches. Miran, a fifteen-year-old boy with dreams bigger than the city itself, finds his life upended when invaders destroy everything he holds dear. As the world around him crumbles, he uncovers a truth hidden deep within his family's legacy: he is the heir to an ancient lineage of Celestials, beings born from the delicate balance between light and shadow.

Guided by the whispers of his mother and the echoes of forgotten realms, Miran must navigate a path of courage, belief, and an awakening power that draws from the very elements of the universe. With his sister Hira lost and their once-great city in flames, Miran faces a perilous journey through betrayal, ancient secrets, and the darkness that threatens to consume him from within.

Can he find his sister and unite the strength they both possess to restore balance? Or will the shadow that corrupted his father take hold and lead them all to ruin?

"Rising from the ashes, Miran must confront his heritage, battle his fears, and learn that the greatest light comes from within-even when it casts the deepest shadow."

We Were Stardust Once by rrrick_grimesss
22 parts Ongoing
They were born from the stars, but the world refuses to let them stay. It has been three years since the Genesis Flares, the solar phenomenon that gave birth to Astrans: beings with abilities beyond human comprehension. Some see them as miracles, others as abominations but to those in power, they are a threat that must be controlled, exploited, or eradicated. Fear spreads like wildfire, and war is inevitable. Among the displaced and the hunted, a survivor fights to carve out a future for her people, refusing to let them be erased from history. By her side stands the one who saved her, a sister in all but blood, a friend who has vowed to protect her, even if it means keeping dangerous secrets. As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, they must navigate a world that has already decided what they are: enemies. In the heart of the conflict, two minds once dedicated to progress now wrestle with the weight of their own creations. One, a scientist bound by failing health, seeks to undo the greatest mistake of his life before time runs out. The other, an engineer thrust unwillingly into war, struggles between duty, regret, and the burden of being the only one left to fight. Lines blur between vengeance and justice, survival and sacrifice. The choices they make will determine not only the outcome of the war but the future of the Astrans themselves. Before the war, before the fear, they were all the same. They were all stardust once.
