Echo Shard

Growing up is a symphony of endings and beginnings, a delicate balance between heartbreak and self-discovery. "Ashes and Echoes" is a collection of poetry that captures the raw, unfiltered emotions of young adulthood: the first loves that set your world on fire, wishful thinking, and the bittersweet journey of finding yourself in the wreckage of the world. Through lyrical verse and intimate storytelling, these poems explore the restless nights, the unanswered messages, the weight of the world, and defiant hope and nostalgia that comes with healing. Each page is a reflection of what it means to love recklessly, to break beautifully, and to rise from the ashes of who you once were. For anyone who has ever felt lost, for those learning to stand on their own, "Ashes and Echoes" is a reminder that this is not the end, but it’s the beginning of something even more powerful: you.

“You're too weak and I regret having you as a daughter” her father Luca growls his golden eyes narrowing in disapproval and his head shaking as a sign of disappointment. “A wolf must be strong a wolf must be fearless but you're the complete opposite” Elara tried to be strong, she really did but no matter how hard she trained, she could never match her siblings and it was always as if she didn't belong. Her transformations were painful and erratic, leaving her weak and trembling, her howl was barely a whisper, drowned out by the thunderous cries of the pack. And her empathy—a rare gift that allowed her to sense the emotions of others—was seen as a weakness, a flaw to be hidden By the time she reached adulthood, Elara had learned to make herself small. She stayed on the outskirts of the pack, avoiding the alpha’s gaze and the mocking whispers of her packmates. But deep down, she longed for acceptance. She longed to belong.

In a world where Ki is the cornerstone of society, Julian is the youngest son of the powerful Hale family, whose lineage is known for its immense Ki strength. However, Julian is an outcast in his own bloodline. His Ki pool is minimal, and despite years of training, he cannot control itas well as others. While his peers demonstrate remarkable feats of power, Julian struggles with even the simplest of tasks—he can’t enhance his body as others do. In a world where strength equals respect, Julian is seen as weak, useless, and a disappointment to his family. Despite his failings, Julian refuses to give up. He knows the weight of his family’s expectations and the consequences of his weakness, but he is determined to carve his own path. His daily life is filled with the quiet desperation of hiding his incompetence, avoiding confrontations, and trying to maintain the dignity of his name. Though he doesn’t experiment or look for quick fixes, there’s a part of him that refuses to believe he is destined to remain insignificant forever. One fateful day, a catastrophic event shakes the kingdom—a massive disaster strikes, one so immense it disrupts the balance of Ki itself. Amidst the chaos, something inside Julian stirs. The air around him crackles with energy, and for the first time in his life, he feels a shift within his Ki—an unfamiliar sensation, like a force rising up from the deepest corners of his being. His Ki doesn’t surge with power, nor does it become any stronger. But there’s something there, something he can’t comprehend. Julian can feel it, something changing deep within him, but he has no idea what it is yet.

Inspired by # The Untamed and # Word Of Honor In a vast world where three distinct planes coexist, each housing its own unique countries, creatures, and spiritual powers, ancient grudges fester between the mortal and spiritual realms. For centuries, the three planes have been locked in a fragile balance, where war is inevitable, and conflict always looms. The planes' inhabitants — from fearsome beasts to wise immortals — have long waged secret battles of power, manipulating the fate of all. For generations, the Neutral Plane, a realm known for its wisdom and tranquility, has been the ultimate peacemaker. Whenever the cataclysmic Ancient War reignites, threatening to destroy everything, this plane has intervened to restore order and preserve life. But the price has always been high, with each intervention taking its toll on the realm’s resources and people. Now, the balance is at risk. The ruler of the Neutral Plane, a formidable and ancient leader, refuses to follow the tradition of his ancestors. This time, he will not step in to save the world. He believes that the conflict between the planes is inevitable and that the past interventions have only prolonged suffering and stagnation. The decision to withdraw from this age-old responsibility sets off a chain of events that could unravel the delicate peace that has held the world together for so long. Will anyone step forward to be the catalyst to reshape the world’s fate, or will they be swept up in the chaos of a war that has no end?

Void: Echoes of Synopsis Beyond the limits of comprehensible reality, amidst the nameless void, something was born—or perhaps, it awakened. It had no beginning, no past, and no name. It was merely emptiness given form, different from the darkness from which it emerged. Without memories, without purpose, it wandered through dimensions eroded by time. Worlds long destroyed, beings struggling against oblivion, and ancient entities who claimed themselves as gods—all became part of this journey. Yet, one question continued to gnaw at its existence: What am I? As cosmic factions began to sense its presence—from the rulers of the mortal realms, the Archons of the Astral Domain, to the supreme entities that governed the very laws of reality—an ancient conflict long dormant began to stir once more. Those who worshipped the void saw it as a harbinger. Those who feared it saw it as a threat. And those who understood its existence began plotting something far more dangerous. Yet, for Heze—the name it eventually chose—none of it mattered. It did not care for war, power, or the destruction of worlds. It sought only one thing: the answer. But as it drew closer to the truth, it realized something terrifying. That perhaps, there was no answer that could be comprehended. And worse… perhaps it was the answer itself.

The Veilstone once shielded the world from a converging dimension teeming with horrors—creatures of unexplainable terror, shaped by fragmented myths and forgotten folklore, each taking on different interpretations across time. But when the Veilstone shattered thousands of years ago, the barrier collapsed. Perhaps out of desperation—if it was even capable of such a thing—it chose Heroes before its final destruction. Six divine classes emerged, wielding power strong enough to hold back the Void... but only for a time. As the rifts grew stronger and the world descended into chaos, heroes and humans alike fell before the Voidborne. Until they discovered the power of Voidshards—the cores of these eldritch beings. By transferring these shards into themselves, warriors gained monstrous abilities beyond human comprehension, tied to the creature they had slain. But there was a cost. Those without the blessing of Heroic Sigils, unprotected from corruption, slowly lost their minds—warping into the very Voidborne they once fought. And thus, the cycle of slaughter and transformation continued. Elias was not born a hero. He awakened with no past, wandering a dying world in search of memories he couldn’t grasp. But when a fateful encounter with a Voidborne and the fanatical Ashborn Clan drags him into a battle far beyond his understanding, his struggle for survival becomes something far greater. In a war where men turn to monsters, and gods remain silent, Elias must forge his own path—or be consumed by the very darkness that seeks to claim him.
