The Veil of Unseen

Late one night in Auckland, Vale-a timeless supernatural being and secret keeper of balance-was cleaning up her quiet restaurant when a deafening crash shattered the calm. Rushing outside, she found two cars mangled on the main road, smoke curling into the sky. The passengers of both cars already gone. As Vale stepped back, a familiar chill settled in her bones. He was coming.
Velmorr.
Death himself.
They hadn't seen each other in 150 years-not since the night everything fell apart. They once walked the world as silent guardians, two halves of a sacred balance between life and death. But some choices , as well as, responsibilities tore them apart. Since then, Vale had hidden from her past, burying herself in the rhythms of mortal life.
But fate, it seemed, had other plans.
The ancient pact they forged long ago is nearing its end... and with it, something darker is stirring beneath the veil of the living world. As Death draws near, so do old memories, unfinished business, and a dangerous question:
Was their separation truly a choice-or a manipulation?
Now, with souls hanging in the balance, Vale must face Velmorr once more. But is he here for the dead... or for her?
