Triarch of Ash and After
They wake to silence.
No past. No names beyond the ones they give each other. No memory of the world that came before.
Only three breaths in the dark.
When Kael, Lyra, and Caelum emerge from an unknown slumber inside a cathedral of abandoned pods, they discover a city suspended beneath a fractured sky — a society reborn without history. The people move, speak, build, obey… but something inside them is missing. Something hollow. Something replaced.
And the system that governs this new world is not surprised to see them.
It has been waiting.
Marked as a “Genetic Triad,” the siblings are anomalies in a carefully controlled reset — living variables in a civilization engineered to forget its own collapse. Each carries a power that defies containment: Kael bends force itself, gravity answering the fury he barely understands; Lyra radiates living light that awakens what should remain dormant — hope, memory, rebellion; Caelum alters probability with terrifying precision, unraveling certainty like thread.
Together, they are balance.
Apart, they are catastrophe.
Fragments of their past begin bleeding through in flashes: a burning skyline, a broken crown-shaped tower, a choice that shattered the world. The deeper they search for truth, the more the city reshapes around them — surveillance tightening, white-eyed citizens turning hostile, entire districts glitching in and out of existence.
Someone — or something — orchestrated the fall of the old world.
And the siblings were at its center.
But as memories resurface, a more dangerous possibility emerges:
What if the reset wasn’t meant to erase them…
What if it was meant to test them?
Trust fractures as secrets surface between them. One may have caused the collapse. One may be destined to rebuild it. And one may be meant to end it permanently. In a society engineered for obedience, three forgotten heirs must decide whether to restore what was lost, reshape what remains — or let humanity begin again without them.
Because the world did not survive its destruction.
It was redesigned.
And the architects have just awakened.
