Saved By a Curse...Killed By a Blessing

Prologue

Prologue

Mar 15, 2025

In the 827th year after the Founding Light, the sky cracked open. For a moment, the sun and moon touched at the edge of the world, revealing Lucirion, a realm hidden within every sunray, reached only through mirrors that bend its glow.

It was then that the Trial of the Twin Sisters was recorded in history as a turning point, remembered as both a miracle and a curse, just like the day they were born.

It marked the dawn of an age no one was prepared for.

 



Beneath the twin eclipses, rare celestial alignments even the Aelith themselves dared not speak of, the two girls were born. Sisters, bound by fate, seen as a blessing by few and a curse by many. Their birth was foretold to herald the fall of one world… and the salvation of another.

Mia and Alba.

They came into the world on the eve of the Great Eclipse, as the Syrath Lunara, the blood moon, rose in a crimson glow.  Alba was wrapped in red threads, tethered to the Syrath Lunara, a force so dark it had once nearly claimed her life. Mia, in contrast, was bathed in sunlight, her soul untouched by shadow.

To humans, their birth was an omen, but in the hidden reaches of the Lucirion Kingdom, it was something far more dangerous. The union of an Aelith and a human was considered a calamity waiting to unfold, since the two bloodlines were as opposite as light and shadow, fire and ice.

The Aeliths, pure ethereal beings born from the tears of the sun, felt the stirrings of an upcoming reckoning too great to ignore. The fruit of this union would alter the very order of the world. Humans, fragile in body yet fierce in spirit, held their own gift: the power to control light and shadow through emotions, will, and belief.

 

Fearing for her human child, their mother hid Mia among mortals, claiming she had died of illness. Alba remained among the Aeliths, growing stronger each day, her erratic powers rising. While Alba was shaped by reverence and dread, Mia lived freely, unaware of her past, her connection to the Aeliths severed by time and distance.

Some called Mia a savior.

Others, a destroyer. 

To those who feared her power, her death became a yearly celebration...

But few understood the truth: the bond between the sisters might either doom the realms or... redeem them.


Mia remembered none of this.

All she had was a peaceful life.

But peace had never been written into her fate.

I was initially uncertain about including a prologue in my novel. However, after thoroughly rereading the manuscript, I now believe a prologue is necessary to clarify key elements and provide essential context for the story.
What do you think?

I’d rewrite that opening sentence. It runs on. I had to read it a few times to understand what you were saying. Some of the other sentences also had difficult wording, which turned me off when I’m already trying to decipher your worlds backstory. Concept seems good.

Born beneath the Syrath Lunara and a fractured sky, Mia was destined to be forgotten. Hidden in the human world and stripped of her past, she lived a quiet life, until fate awakened something buried deep inside her. Haunted by violent dreams and hunted by a silver-haired stranger who claims she killed his brother, Mia is drawn into a realm of immortal beings, forbidden magic, and a sister she never knew existed. Bound by a prophecy that could end two worlds, Mia must choose: embrace the darkness within… or be destroyed by it.
