โฐ๏ธ Starlight Abyss
4
In the city of Noctaris, where the sky never truly brightens, everything has a price โ even sound. Voices are harvested, bottled, and sold as power. The quietest souls are the poorest; the loudest become gods.
Lyra Thane, a singer once adored across the realm, lost her voice the night she died saving another. Her last song still echoes beneath the ocean, calling across the veil. Refusing to fade, she strikes a bargain with the Underworld: one voyage across the Celestial Sea, to retrieve her voice โ and her beloved โ from the realm of glass.
Guided by Kael Morrin, a soul-ferryman born of shadow and starlight, Lyra sails a ship built from broken constellations. The sea below them glows with trapped memories โ whispers of the dead, drifting like phosphorescent ghosts.
Kael warns her that the ocean hungers. Every bargain steals something new: a color, a memory, a heartbeat. But as they travel deeper, she begins to remember fragments of him โ laughter, warmth, the promise of a song never finished.
At the edge of the world stands the Mirror Gate, where souls trade truth for existence. To free her beloved, Lyra must sing again โ even if it shatters the barrier between life and death.
But Kael carries his own secret: the man sheโs trying to save has always been him โ reborn, forgotten, and waiting beneath the stars.
