THE CHRONICLES OF YTHRANNOR - The Ashes of What Never Burned

R_B_SUHETE
After returning to his home village of Mahran, Arien Varoth finds only silence and cold ashes—remnants of a calamity that left no flames but consumed everything living. Haunted by memories of his family and guided by fragments of the past, Arien discovers a mysterious black stone, the remnant of a forbidden power known as the Static Flame. Determined to uncover the truth and honor a promise to his lost sister, he ventures into the cursed desert of Kael’Zyth, a place where echoes of forgotten pain and strange magic shape reality itself. Along his journey, Arien faces the ancient labyrinth beneath the sands, confronting both visions of the past and the monstrous beings born from collective loss and memory. Guided by cryptic mentors and unexpected allies like Nyra, a warrior with her own secrets, Arien must face the darkness within and around him. Each trial brings him closer to understanding the true nature of the Static Flame—a fire that does not burn, but erases—and the cost of wielding such power. As the labyrinth’s shadows close in and truths once buried come to light, Arien realizes that some flames can only be faced by embracing both pain and hope. His quest is not only for vengeance, but for meaning—a journey through ash, oaths, and memories, where the greatest battle is against forgetting who you are.

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
