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

Today was the city annual celebwaytion! Miss Clara said it was a special day where everyone came to celebrate our city! We all piled onto the big yewwow bus. I sat by the window so I couwd see everyfing.

The city was so colorfuw! Buildings were painted bwight colors, and fwagies were everywhewe! So many people! It kinda made me scawed at the same time cause it was loud.

Then, I remembwed the nice lady from the park. She was so nice to me! I wished she couwd come with us. She tied my shoes. I wuv that, she was sho pretty!

The bus stopped, and we all got off. Miss Clara said we had to stay together and hold hands, so we wouldn't get wost. It was hard 'cause there were so many people.

"Ooooh! Look at the balloons!" I shouted, pointing to a stwawl with wots of shiny balloons. "I want one!"

Miss Clara smiled and bought me a bwu balloon shaped wike a star! It was so pwetty! I hewd it tight. We walked along to all the stalls

We saw lots of cool fings, like clowns, fire eatas, and dancers, and magic ! It was so exciting! We saw the pawade some of the float where prety i was jumping up and dowm

Miss Clara bought me some cotton candy! It was pink and sticky and so yummy! I ate it all up! My face was so sticky! She wiped it with a baby wipe.

I saw some other kids pwaying, so I went to join them. We were building a sandcastle, and it was weally fun! But then, Ella came over. She whispered something to the other kids, and they all stopped pwaying with me. They just walked away.

It made me sad. "Ella, why did you do that?" I asked.

"Because you're a freak, Iyla," she said meanly. "Nobody wants to play with you."

It made my eyes watery. It was fun and wonely at the same time. I just wemmber that I have to ignore her.

I saw the nice lady from the park today! She was in the pawade! She wooked so pwetty in her bwue shirt. My heart did a wittle jump when I saw her! But she probably didn't see me. I didn't wemmber how to call her name so I had to yell pwetty lady.

Some people asked Miss Carla about adoptions for the kids. They asked about me too, but Miss Carla said I was still young.

We had to go back to the orphange when it got dark. I was tiwed from all the fun. I still had my star balloon. I was looking for my mommy at the whole celebation

I wemembered that Ella said my mom didn't want me there were a lot of kids there. Miss Cara was happy for these I wasn't

Wate at night, I couwdn't sweep. I heard Miss Clara and Miss Lily talking in the hallway.

"We have so many people visisting the orphange tommorow to adopt kids," Miss Clara said.

"Maybe Iyla will finally get adopted," Miss Lilly said, but she didn't sound weally happy.

I hugged my staw balloon tight. Maybe tommorow, I'll get a new mommy. But I still wish my real mommy will come back for me. Every time close my eyes I can only picture her face in my dreams and the soft lullaby she said. She wuvs me. And I wuv her too. Even though I don't wemmber her face. The stars can hear me always because the shine bwight and follow me everywhere I go even to the orphange.
