The First Fracture

A prequel to The Moon’s Curse — where a forbidden fragment, a Keeper’s warning, and a choice in the Vale set everything in motion.

Short Story • Canon Prologue → Epilogue structure Spoiler-light teaser below

In the windless Vale of Darros, the cracked monoliths hum with Veil-light as Archivist Thalen raises a forbidden shard—an ancient piece of the Codex Fragmenta Bestiarum. Summoned to “remember,” Kaelen Virelith stands with the Keeper and watches a ritual tilt toward disaster. The earth splits, whispers gather, and a sigil long feared—the Sigillum Nocturnum—flares like an omen. What should bind may instead beckon. And something answers.

Author’s Note

This tale foreshadows the Nythrall’s return, the Codex’s dangers, and the Keeper’s calculus. Watch the bells, the light, and what the Veil refuses to let go.
