Chapter 1 - When The Sky Forgot His Name

Title: "When The Sky Forgot His Name"Chapter 1: The Boy Who Couldn't Cry

In the crowded city of Elaris, where neon lights hid broken dreams, lived a boy named Kael Verin.

Kael was not special.

He wasn't the smartest. He wasn't the strongest. He wasn't even noticed.

But Kael had one strange problem.

He couldn't cry.

Not when his mother passed away. Not when his father blamed him for everything. Not when classmates pushed him into lockers and called him "stone heart."

He felt pain.

He just couldn't release it.

Every night, he would stare at the sky and whisper, "Why can't I feel like everyone else?"

And every night, the sky remained silent.

Until the night it answered.

Chapter 2: The Falling Star

It happened at exactly 2:17 AM.

A star fell.

But it didn't burn. It didn't crash. It hovered outside Kael's window.

The star spoke.

"You were not meant to feel like humans do."

Kael froze.

"What are you?"

"I am a fragment of the Sky Archive. And you, Kael Verin… were never meant to be born human."

The star revealed a truth that shattered reality:

Kael's soul had been misplaced at birth.

He was supposed to be a Celestian — a being that guards human emotions from the sky.

But a cosmic error sent him into a human body.

That's why he couldn't cry.

His emotions weren't his.

They belonged to the sky.

Chapter 3: The Choice of Return

The star offered him a choice.

Return to the sky. Become who he was meant to be. Gain power beyond imagination.

Or stay human. Weak. Broken. Ignored.

"But if I return," Kael asked, "what happens to this life?"

"It will erase," the star said calmly. "No one will remember you."

Kael thought of his father's anger. His empty room. His lonely school days.

Would anyone even notice?

But then he remembered something small.

The stray dog he secretly fed. The little girl who once smiled at him on the bus. The teacher who said, "You're quiet, but you're not empty."

Maybe he wasn't invisible after all.

Chapter 4: The Price of Power

Kael chose to return.

The sky split open.

Light swallowed him.

His human body collapsed… lifeless.

Above the clouds, Kael transformed.

Wings of silver light. Eyes like galaxies. A crown made of constellations.

He became Arkael — Guardian of Human Grief.

He could now control sorrow. Remove pain. Silence heartbreak.

But something felt wrong.

Every time he erased someone's sadness, the world became quieter.

Too quiet.

Without grief, people stopped writing poetry. They stopped fighting for love. They stopped changing.

Pain, he realized, was not the enemy.

It was proof of being alive.

Chapter 5: The Rebellion of a Guardian

Arkael broke the sacred rule.

Instead of removing pain, he began returning it.

He gave heartbreak back. He gave loss back. He gave tears back.

The other Celestians were furious.

"You are corrupting humanity!"

"No," Arkael replied. "I am restoring them."

A war began in the sky.

Thunder cracked like broken promises. Stars exploded. The heavens trembled.

And in the middle of it all, Arkael made the ultimate decision.

He tore his celestial core from his chest.

If emotions must exist… Then someone must carry them fully.

He fell back to Earth.

Chapter 6: The Boy Who Finally Cried

Kael woke up in a hospital bed.

Human again.

Weak again.

Forgotten by the sky.

His father sat beside him… crying.

"You scared me," his father whispered.

For the first time in his life, Kael felt it.

A crack inside his chest.

Warm. Heavy. Overwhelming.

A tear fell.

Just one.

But it carried galaxies.

The sky thundered softly.

Not in anger.

But in respect.

Because Kael Verin, the boy who couldn't cry, had chosen to be human.

And sometimes…

That is the most powerful choice of all.
