Some secrets are buried in silence. Others refuse to stay hidden.

Elara never expected a knock on her neighbor’s door to change everything. But when Liam—silent, guarded, and wrapped in mystery—hands her a note instead of speaking, she realizes his silence holds more than unspoken words. It holds a past he cannot outrun.

A forgotten journal. A map leading to a place that shouldn’t exist. A door buried in the earth—waiting to be opened. As Elara and Liam follow the clues, the shadows around them stir, whispering of something lost… and something that wants to be found.
What happens when you listen to the silence?

You hear the things that were never meant to be spoken.

When Silence Speaks

The air in the ancient city felt heavier as Elara and Liam stood at the edge of the great plaza, the ethereal light flickering around them like the last remnants of a dying flame. The woman who had guided them stood silently at their side, her presence a quiet force, as though she too felt the magnitude of the decision that lay before them. The truth about the Veil, the Forgotten, and the dark architects behind it all now seemed impossible to ignore. The weight of their task hung around Elara’s shoulders like an invisible chain, but beneath it, something else had stirred—an unyielding spark of determination. 


“We need to start by understanding what they’re after,” Elara said, breaking the silence. Her voice was steady now, resolute, though the gravity of her words echoed like thunder in the hollow quiet of the city.
