ash and bloom
“The Mist chooses. The brave survive. The truth waits beneath the silence”
In the fractured city of Niris, the Mist is a mystery, a curse, a calling. Once a year, it whispers to a chosen few—children who vanish into the grey silence. No one knows where it leads. Only that those who survive come back changed… if they come back at all.
Kael and Lyra, twins from the outskirts, were never meant to be chosen. They know the stories—of ruined lands beyond the veil, of monsters that wear familiar faces, of powers awakened through trial and pain. But when the Mist calls their names, resistance is futile. The journey has already begun.
Separated and cast into strange, dreamlike realms, each must face a path shaped by their soul. A shard of power waits at the end—but the way forward is anything but clear. Whispers follow their every step. The past breathes beneath the earth. And something ancient watches from the shadows, waiting to see who will break… and who will bloom.
In a world shaped by forgotten wars and veiled truths, one question remains:
Why were they chosen?
