Legado de Sangre: El Juramento del Renacido Infernal

En un mundo fracturado por una Guerra Santa ancestral, donde tres reinos divinos se reparten el planeta bajo sellos de frágil paz, la historia de Kaelen Silver es un canto desgarrador a la venganza, el sacrificio y el precio del poder. Tomas Silver, un esclavo convertido en asesino, logra escapar de la sombra de la Orden de la Luna Sangrienta gracias a Alenya, una herborista que le devuelve la humanidad. Juntos forjan una vida sencilla, ocultos de un mundo dividido por los dioses. Pero su hijo Kaelen nace marcado por una maldición: su cuerpo absorbe la energía vital (Nivora) del mundo, infligiéndole un dolor insoportable. Aunque Tomas lo protege con ferocidad, el destino es cruel: Alenya muere a manos de la Orden de la Luna Sangrienta, y años después, los Cinco Grandes Clanes -marionetas de demonios ocultos- asesinan a Tomas, dejando a Kaelen solo, roto y hambriento de venganza. Kaelen no es un héroe. Es un superviviente astuto y despiadado que, tras décadas de cazar a los clanes que destruyeron su familia, fracasa en su último intento. Capturado y sacrificado en un ritual grotesco, su muerte no es el fin: un demonio ancestral le ofrece un trato perverso. «Vuelve al pasado. Salva a tus padres. Destruye los sellos que dividen el mundo... y desata el Infierno». Al despertar como un bebé en los brazos de sus padres, Kaelen guarda la memoria de su vida anterior. Pero el camino no es simple: para romper los sellos que mantienen a raya a ángeles, demonios y la Alianza de Razas, necesitará corazones de descendientes de héroes, arcángeles y reyes demoníacos. ¿Hasta dónde llegará para reescribir su destino? ¿Se convertirá en el peón de fuerzas mayores, o desafiará incluso a los dioses que manipulan Ethalios desde las sombras?

Sundara Kānda: Hanuman's Odyssey

Whereas Mahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace; many believe that reading it or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings! Miracles apart, it's in the nature of this great epic to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in man for it’s a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds. Besides, it portrays how Seetha, on the verge of self-immolation, overcomes despair to see life in a new light? With rhythm of its verse and the flow of the narrative this sloka to sloka transcreation of the canto beautiful of Valmiki's adi kavya - the foremost poetical composition in the world, Hanuman's Odyssey that paves the way for Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife is bound to charm the readers and listeners alike. Interestingly, as the following verse illustrates, this epic was the forerunner of the magic realism of our times – “Gripped she then him by shadow / Cast which Hanuman coast to coast, Recalled he in dismay then / What Sugreev said at outset / That one fiend had aptitude / To grip its prey by mere shadow.” On a personal note, my paternal grandfather, Bulusu Thimmaiah-garu, like many in his time, was a life-long practitioner of Sundara Kãnda parayana (the epic’s daily recital in part or full), whose spirituality could have providentially guided me in this, rather an effortless, trans-creative endeavour.

Aether

I remember the darkness. I remember dying. 'Beep…Beep…Beep.' I heard in the distance, echoing throughout the cavernous purgatory I was standing in. My chest hurt; my ribcage ached. I felt dissociated from my body, my head was foggy. “We’re losing her! You have to upload now.” A voice shouted, it echoed in my head and I covered my ears to shut out the sharp noise. I floated, listening to the steady sound in the background. The beeping was getting more erratic, it was an alarm siren blaring in my head. “Please don’t go, don’t leave me!” A little girl cried. My heart wrenched, I screamed out in frustration, running blindly around through the darkness. “Emily?” I shouted --------------------------------------------------------------- Fayre has been struggling since her parents died to parent her younger sister, Emily.
