The Tear of Grief (The Relics of Nar'Aeth, Book I)

"Grief is the proof that love once touched the soul—and in its echo, destiny awakens."

Before history had words, before time stitched its song into the fabric of reality, there were only echoes.
From silence, the Divine spoke—and two realms were born.

One was Ereth, cradle of the Edirians—beings sculpted from dust, blessed with compassion, will, and the spark of eternity.
The other was Sha'arazeth, realm of the Zah'Ari—creatures of smokeless flame, radiant and terrible, whose songs once guided the stars.

For an age, both realms mirrored the Creator's harmony. Until pride broke the song. From that fracture came rebellion, grief, and a wound that never closed. Some Zah'Ari turned to defiance and shadow, while others clung to remembrance of their first love: the Creator Himself. What followed became legend, then myth, and finally—forgotten.

But the veil between the realms never truly sealed. It trembles still.
And in the secret hush between both worlds, something was born that should never have been—a soul woven of two realms. A being neither fully Edirian nor wholly Zah'Ari.
To some, a curse.
To others, a prophecy.
To itself, a question.

This is the beginning of that soul's story.
This is the opening of Nar'Aeth.

A tale of grief, love, and destiny interwoven with myth, The Tear of Grief marks the first step into an epic saga where sorrow itself becomes a key to redemption—and where light and shadow wage their war not only in realms beyond, but within the human heart.
