Our civilization has always shown signs of chaos.
Some people see it in the conflicts between cities. Others see it in the inventions that push the boundaries of what should be possible. Me? I've seen it in the quiet moments-the cracks hidden beneath polished streets and smiling faces.
The world I live in is beautiful.
Aethelre rises above the sea like a dream of brass and light. Towers stretch toward the clouds, airships drift across the horizon, and every day brings a new invention meant to make life better.
But beauty has a way of hiding things.
Every machine leaves a scar. Every discovery carries a consequence. Every light casts a shadow.
I didn't understand that when I was younger.
Back then, I believed broken things could always be fixed.
Now I know some fractures run too deep.
My name is Echo.
This is the story of Aethelre, of the secrets hidden beyond the waterfall, and of the Aether that changed everything.
This is the story of how our world began to break apart.
