- An Exchange of Faith
- Summary: Z’hani entered Kieron’s sanctum not as a conqueror, nor as a supplicant, but as a son—and a brother. What he sought was not power, but presence: to stand before the souls of his lost family, to be known by them, and to understand what love might have been had fate not intervened. But gods do not touch the mortal past without cost. In that sacred place, Z’hani also came to face the full weight of his faithful—those who had followed him beyond life, whose devotion shape not only his divinity, but his burden. What passes between them was not a miracle, nor a judgment. It was something quieter, and far more enduring: an exchange of fate.

- The Blacksmith and the Dral’Vyrn
- Summary: In an age shadowed by silence, a mortal named Calen Matisse defied the indifference of the world. When a cursed enclave of Dral’Vyrn—exiled Syl’Aeris marked by kin-slaying—stood alone against a dragon’s wrath, it was not kin, nor god, but a human blacksmith who answered their cry. Through his valor, the Dral’Vyrn were redeemed, their curse lifted by the will of Liantharion. In reward, Calen was granted passage into Aelindor and gifted the sacred sight of Aelvar. There, amid silver leaves and crystalline rivers, he beheld the soul of the world—and became, in truth, its guardian.

- The Last Shred of Light
- Summary: Caught in a storm near Gharnakthul’s forbidden coast, the Wandering Gale drifted into still waters—and into the grasp of the Wraithhulk. Its crew fell to the silent fury of the Tidewatchers, drowned revenants who serve Karmorr beneath the Veiled Deep. Leris alone survived, escaping into the sea while his ship was torn apart. Now scarred and land-bound, he speaks of glowing eyes and rusted blades that haunt the deep—and of a judgment that has not yet passed him by.

- Excerpt: “I was rushing him—blade drawn, sure of the kill. And then I wasn’t rushing at all. My body locked, the air thick as syrup, and that kid just strolled around me like I was a statue in a gallery. No chants, no flames—just time itself, turning against us. I’ve faced beasts, blades, even blood mages… but nothing that made me question whether I still had a future.”
