Once, they reigned supreme over the Lunaris Kingdom: Nyara Goddess of Night,  Kail God of Night, and their daughter, Iyla, the Child of Night. But two centuries ago, the cruel hand of humanity struck them down, shattering their celestial reign. Betrayal led to their demise, their divine essence scattered across Earth. Now, reborn and unaware, they live mortal lives, their memories lost to the ages.

Nyara, a 24-year-old woman on Earth, bears a striking birthmark that mimics the night sky across her back and arms. This causes her to feel alienated from her family and the world, she always covers it up. A nagging sense of incompleteness haunts her, a void where a past life should be.

Kail, now 25, carries a strange birthmark from his chest down his arm, a faint echo of his godly past. He walks a lonely path, disconnected from those around him, feeling a profound sense of loss, as if something vital has been stolen from him.

In a secluded forest, a 5-year-old girl named Iyla was discovered as a baby in forest, abandoned and marked with radiant patterns from her shoulders to her arms. She resides in an orphanage, forever overlooked for adoption due to her unusual markings.

Veil Of Night

Five months had passed since the alliance between the Lunaris Kingdom and the humans, and the relationship had, on the surface, been progressing smoothly. Nyara and Kail had spent considerable time learning about the human world, fascinated by their technology, culture, and the sheer resilience of the human spirit. They also came to understand why Earth's magical energies were so weak compared to Lunaris. The connection, they explained to the human leaders, lay in the very lifeblood of their kingdom – the land itself, the celestial alignment, and the delicate balance of their ecosystem, all of which sustained the people of Lunaris and their powerful magic.

During one of the many information exchanges, Nyara and Kail emphasized the importance of maintaining the ecological integrity of Lunaris, explaining how the land was intrinsically linked to their well-being. The news landed with a thud amongst the human delegation.

Unbeknownst to the God and Goddess, this sharing of information had ignited a dangerous spark in the hearts of certain human leaders and elite families. They had been secretly conducting research and had discovered shocking truths about the River water of Lunaris, the unique flora, and the animals. They had found that these elements held immense power, capable of amplifying their own magical abilities and transforming Earth into a place mirroring the celestial splendor and potent magic of Lunaris.

Driven by greed and a lust for power, a clandestine group of scientists and leaders began developing weapons specifically designed to control and even injure the immortal God and Goddess. The plan was audacious and ruthless: a full-scale attack on the Lunaris Kingdom. The city people were seen as inconsequential obstacles, mere collateral damage in their pursuit of ultimate power.

Their strategy was meticulously crafted: a night raid to first drain the River water and transport it to Earth, followed by the plundering of the unique plants and the slaughter of the animals. Simultaneously, they would launch a coordinated assault on the Lunaris castle and city, leaving no one to stand in their way.

However, not all humans were complicit in this treachery. Some of the scientists and soldiers felt deeply uneasy about the plan. They had witnessed the kindness and generosity of the Lunaris people firsthand and believed that betraying their trust was morally reprehensible. The seeds of dissent had been sown, threatening to unravel the carefully laid plans of the power-hungry leaders.
