(I still need to work on the chapters, but I want to post the beginning of what I've written to see if people would actually be interested in reading a full story if I continue it.)
The Lands Hidden, Above the Mortals' Gaze is a fantasy tale that explores the mysteries of Mythoria, a world where legends blur the line between myth and reality. At its heart lies the Shade of the Ancients, a sacred forest hidden beneath the gods' celestial domain, unseen by mortal eyes.
Long ago, the god of creation, Nerathos, breathed life into the void, forging vast oceans, towering mountains, and the Tree of Cosmos Shades, a celestial mirror of the stars. From its roots, the Shade of the Ancients was born, a realm where elemental beasts and divine beings safeguard the world's balance.
But now, this grand tale takes an unexpected turn.
Enter Yuexian and Jinyu, two powerful celestial beasts, loyal guardians of the Shade of the Ancients. After centuries of dedication, Nerathos himself grants them something unheard of. A vacation. Yes, after a thousand years of watching over the sacred realm, they finally have the freedom to explore the world once more.
It has only been a thousand years since their last visit. Surely, nothing major has changed. The mortal world is still the same, right?
With ancient wisdom, mythical abilities, and absolutely no idea what to expect, Yuexian and Jinyu embark on their long-overdue break. What could possibly go wrong?
"As long as you are breathing, I'll come to you,"
Those words replayed in her head every day, and she could only hope for him to come save her. But as soon as tragedy falls upon his family, he abandoned her and his younger brother.
She watched as he turned his back on her, yet something was tugging him back. It was more than just wishing she was alive. It was the fact that he was willing to sacrifice anything, just to ensure her safety.
But little did he know, he was the one being saved.
