The world had long fallen into silence.

  Once, it was a place of promise and discovery, where the skies held the dreams of civilizations. Now, all that remains are shattered remnants of a time forgotten. Cities are but ruins, and the stars, once a beacon, stand broken in the sky. Yet, deep within this silence, something ancient stirs—a forgotten legacy, awakening after eons of rest.

  Whispers of the past grow louder, carried by those few whose hearts remember. Their souls echo with the weight of history, calling them to a destiny entwined with what was lost. The world may have moved on, but the past is never truly gone. And for some, the past will always find a way to return.

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  The guardians who once held the balance between creation and destruction are no more. Their time has ended, and the legacy of their struggles is nothing more than a distant myth. But the truth is far more dangerous than any tale told around campfires.

  For those who still seek, the threads of the past are not so easily erased. The ancient shards—fragments of a power lost to time—are scattered across the world, calling out to those brave enough, or foolish enough, to claim them. But with each shard comes the risk of unleashing something far darker than anyone could imagine.

  In the shadows of forgotten empires, some seek the shards to control the power they hold. Others will fight to keep them hidden, fearing the consequences of their return. The journey ahead will take them to places where reality bends and time is but an illusion, but they will learn that the true legacy is not the power the shards possess. It lies in the choices made by those who dare to challenge the past.

  The echoes are coming.

  The question is not whether they will be heard—but whether the world is ready to face the legacy that awaits.
