The Day the Sky Cracked

History doesn't record the days of peace. It only remembers the scream that ended them." ​In the sprawling, golden kingdom of Aethelgard, ten-year-old Kael spends his days dreaming of knighthood, practicing with a wooden sword in the shadow of lush hanging gardens. But the sun sets forever when a jagged rift tears through the sky, unleashing the Nions—biomechanical nightmares that "process" reality into dust. ​In a single hour of soot-stained rain and mechanical howling, Kael’s world is reduced to a graveyard of gray ash. Amidst the ruins of his home, he encounters Miver (Vane), a mysterious traveler with silver hair and Azure Mana, who offers the broken boy a terrifying choice: remain in the ruins, or learn the magic required to erase the swarm from existence.
