Aetherium Rising: The Divine Anomaly

Lux_Dei
Too divine to be human. Too flawed to be angelic. Too pure to be demonic. Sometimes the deepest pain isn’t nothing but existing without belonging. Seven was never meant to exist. Born of a forbidden union, he is a walking contradiction in the eternal war between Heaven and Hell—cursed to walk between realms, plagued by visions, hunted by spirits, and pulled into battles that were never his to fight. Thrown into the heart of a hidden war, Seven joins a secret order of gifted warriors and relic-bearers who fight back against the infernal breach leaking into Earth. Beside him stand friends—scarred souls whose hair turned white from what they survived, yet who never turned from him. And Zephyr, a mischievous spirit wearing human skin, who claims to protect him… but harbors secrets of his own. But as spirit becomes matter and flesh, vessel... Seven must ask what’s more dangerous—the demons outside or the ones buried within? Can he trust the Cativan, who shrouds its faith in secrecy? Can he trust Zephyr, who walks the thin edge between redemption and ruin? Can he trust his friends, or worse—should they trust him? Because the darkest enemy may be a soul convinced it is unworthy of love. And when Heaven won't claim him, and Hell can't control him… The final decision—to fall or to rise—will be his alone.

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
