They call it the eternal reflection. And to decipher it is to unravel the universe’s spiritual and philosophical secrets.

Ni’vim, an unsure but pensive avian girl, grew up in a world of peace and has just reached adulthood. Her home brims with green skies, blue plants, mythical creatures, and dark elementals.

Now, vile demons from Sckogol, the infernal realm, stampede out of portals and burn her people and culture to ashes.

Time is irreversible, so she can never return to paradise.

But with the ominous return of Qeazor, a cosmic terror that promises bloodshed and the fall of her world, comes a flicker of hope—

If she can marry the inspirational teachings of a sacred book with the divine symbol’s wisdom, she may find courage in overcoming the world’s travails and pains.

Will she keep her promise to her father, defy all odds, and harness the symbol’s philosophical secrets to embody courage and overcome loss and death?

Or will she wilt like a fallen zelkova and descend into nothingness?

Ei’lara. It is an ancient tongue that harbors the universe’s spiritual and philosophical wisdom.

Ni’vim, an unsure and pensive avian girl, is ravaged by the massacre of her people. No longer does her hometown, Phos’rrah, exist. She now lives in Hoskiuros, a village blazing with racism and religious bigotry.

Many see her as an outcast because of her curse, called the white malady, and covet her death.

Powerless but resolute, she vows to unravel Ei’lara. While she trains with her mentor to harness the tongue’s secrets, she faces many sinister challenges.

Ni’vim begins descending into darkness during her journey after making an irreversible moral choice.

However, somewhere in Ei’lara lies the secrets that may dispel the illusion of the material world and help her rise above her evilness—

If she can decipher and wield the tongue, she may avert tragedy and staunch the flames of hatred and bigotry.

Will Ni’vim survive her attackers, unravel the language, overcome all obstacles, and overpower the hatred within her?

Or will she sink further into darkness until hatred consumes her?

After deciphering the ancient tongue of Ei’lara, Ni’vim, a pensive and unsure avian girl, now wants to uphold her father’s vow by getting excerpts of the sacred tome. She currently dwells with her mentor, Shanyrria, an aged wizard with a dark secret.

During Ni’vim’s mission, she uncovers Shanyrria’s past, leading to a cascade of crises and conflicts with her mentor.

Qeazor and a shadowy presence within Shanyrria influence her. Now, the sinister darkness in her threatens to destroy everything around her—

However, if Ni’vim gets the sacred tome’s philosophical teachings, they might provide solutions to quell the evil within her mentor.

Can Ni’vim grow from the turmoil, become wiser, overcome all demonic forces, and help her mentor dispel the darkness in her?

Or will Shanyrria become a darkness incarnate that would bring ruin to all things?

However, demons from Sckogol invade the world through portals. Leea’doch, her world, now blazes with embers. Ni’vim faces two nemeses - Raielas, who leads an army to destroy her kind, and Qeazor, who threatens to erase all life.

If Raielas succeeds, Ni’vim’s people will turn into ashes.

However, Ni’vim and Shanyrria both seek an ancient fortress that could shelter their people and provide clues to the eternal reflection—
