In a world on the brink of transformation, stars fall across the planet Kargasa, signaling the arrival of a new age. The balance of time, once governed by the Mistress of Time, is beginning to shift, and the sacred order that has existed since the shattering ages ago is rupturing. Civilizations have risen and fallen under her influence, their legacies now reduced to mere fragments. Yet, there are those whose indomitable spirits defy the Mistress herself. These souls, through their bravery, strength, and wisdom, forge empires out of ruin and stand as beacons of hope in the vast emptiness of the cosmos. These heroes are the key to the next age—an age of men, an age of courage, love, tragedy, and change. The journey is not just about the world outside, but the transformation within. It is a journey of trust, of discovery, and of understanding the greater forces that bind the cosmos together. (There are a few main characters here, so initial perspective changes might be a bit jarring cause I'm still writing them, but kindly bear with me.) ========================================================================= This is a very raw story so far. I am still fleshing out how it goes on, so do expect revisions from time to time on the published chapters as well. This is a first serious piece of writing I'm attempting so your feedback is much appreciated. Enjoy!!
