Book 1: The Lament of Lyrax

Trapped beyond stars in the cold heart of the Active Void, Lyrax languishes in a prison not made of matter, but of silence, memory, and despair.

Watched over by the unfathomable Carceron, he speaks only in laments - fragmented poems, songs, and cries that echo through the dark. Each utterance is a flare of pain, hope, rage, and flickering self-awareness.

He remembers a love lost. He questions his captor. He pleads with the void. But even as his mind bends toward madness, his words carry something hidden - codes, messages, signals cast into the eternal night.

This is not redemption. This is not repentance.

This is the sound of a soul trying to remember how to burn.
