The night the stars disappeared, a woman walked alone into the darkness, her figure swallowed by the cursed expanse beyond the kingdom. No one followed. No one dared. The Gray Expanse was a place of whispers, where the brave became legends-or were forgotten entirely.
Behind her, the kingdom of Caeloria celebrated its golden queen, Lysandra, and its mighty king, Eryndor. They cheered for a love story that bound their rulers in unshakable devotion. But the woman who vanished that night knew the truth, a truth buried so deeply it could shatter the foundations of their world.
Her name was struck from every record, her memory erased by royal decree. The people spoke of her only in fear, a shadow cast out to die. But the Gray Expanse did not claim her.
In the years that followed, whispers began to creep back into the kingdom. Shadows moved in the woods. A storm brewed beyond the borders. And in his quietest moments, when the weight of his crown bore down on him, King Eryndor dreamed of eyes that glowed like embers.
A storm was coming for Caeloria, born from the heart of the forgotten. And when it arrived, no one-not even the king-would be ready.

She has just been exhausted, working to the bone. And all she really wants is for time to stop, to let her rest for a while. Until time starts to rewound.

The boy too, was a familiar mystery. There's a constant something ticking at the back of Xandra's head, always present, never revealing itself. She knows who the boy was in her past, yet she doesn't.

Veil Of Longing
The moon hung high in the ink-black sky, casting a silvery glow over the imperial city. In the distance, the faint chime of a zither drifted through the air, delicate yet melancholic, as though carrying the silent regrets of those who dared not speak them. Within the grand halls of the palace, beneath layers of gold and silk, a woman sat motionless before a bronze mirror. A single candle flickered beside her, its dim light dancing upon her face-exquisite beyond words, yet marked by a sorrow too deep to be concealed. Her fingers traced the carved patterns on the wooden table, absentmindedly following their curves as if seeking answers in their intricate designs. Outside, the cold wind whispered through the corridors, sending the gauzy curtains swaying like ghosts of the past. Once, she had believed in love. Once, she had dreamed of happiness. Now, those dreams lay buried beneath the weight of duty, sacrifice, and a love that had never truly belonged to her. A shadow loomed at the doorway. A figure stood there, silent yet imposing, his presence a storm held at bay. The candle wavered, and for a brief moment, their eyes met-one filled with sorrow, the other with unreadable emotions. "Your Majesty," she finally spoke, her voice as gentle as the falling snow. The man stepped closer, his gaze lingering on her fragile form, his hands clenching at his sides. He had conquered lands, commanded armies, and held the power to dictate life and death. Yet in front of her, he felt powerless. "Yan Ruo..." he whispered, her name slipping past his lips like a prayer, a regret, a plea. She smiled-soft, distant, resigned. "Your Majesty must not forget the dawn will soon rise." Her words were light, almost teasing, but the pain behind them was unmistakable. The silence stretched between them, thick with the weight of unspoken words. Outside, the first light of dawn painted the horizon. Another day had begun, but for them, it had already ended long ago.
When Star Fall
A queen meant to rule. A king cursed to fall. A war lost to time. Tala Caelum was never meant to leave Lunara. The Starborn Queen-powerful, feared, and bound by prophecy-was locked away by those who claimed to protect her. But fate is not so easily chained. When she falls to a world long abandoned, she finds herself in the heart of the Wasteland, where forgotten ruins whisper of gods, exiled kings, and a war that no one speaks of. Among the echoes of a shattered past, one name rises again and again. The Hollow King. A monster, they said. A being so dangerous, he was sealed away for eternity. But as Tala pieces together the truth, she begins to wonder- What if the real danger was never the thing they locked away? What if it was the secret that made the stars fall in the first place?
