The Observers of the Celestial Veil

Jazzz
In the vastness of existence, where dying stars whisper secrets and forgotten gods slumber beyond the edge of time, the Veil stood as the last barrier between order and oblivion. To most, it was merely a legend—an ethereal shroud separating the known universe from the abyss beyond. But to Kael Veyra, it was the fracture that stole everything. When the Veil collapses, reality begins to unravel. Eldritch entities stir within the rift, their hunger seeping into the fabric of existence. Worlds fracture, time bends, and civilizations crumble under the weight of horrors that should never have been. Amid the chaos, Kael—once a soldier, now a fugitive—embarks on a desperate journey to rescue his sister, Lyra, whose fate is entwined with the very essence of the Veil. But Lyra is more than lost—she is changing. The Veil's collapse has awakened something within her, something ancient and unfathomable. As Kael traverses shattered realms, he is hunted by those who seek to control the Veil’s remnants, worshippers of forgotten deities, and forces that wish to see him unmade. Guided by reluctant allies—a rogue scientist unraveling the mysteries of the Veil, a warrior bound to an oath older than recorded time, and a wanderer bearing scars from a reality no longer his own—Kael must confront entities beyond mortal comprehension. The boundaries between sanity and madness blur as he unravels the Veil’s true purpose. But the deeper he delves, the clearer it becomes: The Veil was never meant to protect reality. It was a prison. And now, something is waking. As Kael’s body and mind twist under the weight of eldritch knowledge, he must make an impossible choice—become more than human to defy an unstoppable cosmic will, or risk losing the last shred of what makes him Kael Veyra. The war for existence has begun. And the Observers are watching.

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
