BEFORE THE FIRST LIGHT

Part 1 — The Beginning of a Forgotten Destiny Some destinies are written in light. Others are born from darkness. Arin's life is about to become something he never imagined. Behind the ordinary world lies a hidden reality filled with supernatural mysteries, forgotten histories, dangerous powers, and secrets that even the most powerful authorities fear to uncover. As Arin becomes entangled in a mysterious journey, he encounters Lyria and others whose lives will become connected to his own. But the deeper he ventures into this unfamiliar world, the more he discovers that his existence may be tied to something far greater than he understands. Friendships are tested. Enemies emerge from the shadows. Ancient secrets begin to surface, and conflicts with powerful forces threaten to destroy everything Arin holds dear. Yet the greatest battles are not always fought against monsters or enemies. Sometimes, the hardest struggle is learning to control the darkness within yourself while protecting the light you refuse to lose. When a devastating tragedy involving Mira changes everything, Arin finds himself facing grief, hatred, and accusations. Even those closest to him struggle to understand what happened. With Lyria challenging him to keep moving forward, Arin must confront the consequences of his past and discover what kind of person he wants to become. But this is only the beginning. A forgotten destiny is awakening, and the first light has yet to reveal what waits beyond the darkness. Before the First Light — Part 1: Where destiny awakens, friendships are tested, and darkness begins to remember.
