Liora

Liora has a rare gift: she can hear the unsaid — the aches, secrets, and silent prayers living beneath a city’s surface. But one morning, the murmurs shift into something new: a warning.She follows the call and finds a boy at a bus stop who has no name, no memories, and no past. The air around him shimmers, and the city falls silent in his presence. He remembers only two things: light and a tearing sound, as if the world folded and he fell through.Something is hunting him — something that does not belong to this world.As Liora helps him flee, the city itself reacts: streetlamps flicker, walls ripple, and shadows bend toward them. The boy reveals he came through a fracture between worlds, and whatever followed him is now tracking Liora’s gift as well.The city begins calling her by a name she never knew was hers:Keeper.When the fracture opens again, Liora instinctively closes it — not with power, but by channeling every unspoken truth she has ever carried. But sealing it comes with a cost: something crossed before it closed, and the city’s murmurs fall eerily silent.Now Liora and the boy walk through a city holding its breath, marked by a glowing sigil burned into the pavement — and into the boy’s veins. The fracture remembers her. The city remembers her.And the world is waiting for the Keeper to awaken fully. Read more
