In the time before stories were told, when the world was cloaked in endless night, people wandered lostâno sun, no stars, just silence and shadow. Fear grew heavy, and hope was a forgotten word.
Then, one night, a single light appearedâsoft at first, a faint pulse against the void. It wasnât a fire blazing or a heroâs torch. It was the Luminary: a living symbol born from every soulâs courage, every whispered promise to stand tall in the dark.
People didnât see a face or hear a voice. Instead, they felt its meaningâa quiet strength that stirred deep inside, a flame kindled by every small act of bravery and every silent prayer for dawn.
The Luminary became a myth not because it was true, but because it needed to be. It taught that light isnât givenâitâs chosen. That even in loneliness, even when unseen, the spark inside refuses to die. It urged the lost to rise, to carry their own flame, to become beacons for others wandering through the dark.

I would come to Ukraine from Brazil.
A land full of color, culture, and energyâjust like Ukraine in its own unique way.
Whatâs fascinating about Ukraine? For starters, the spirit of resilience. From the powerful stories of courage during tough times to the deep rooted love for tradition, Ukraine radiates a quiet strength that commands respect. Plus, Ukrainian embroidery is gorgeous. And the language is soft, melodic, and poetic when spoken.
If I could visit, I'd head straight to Lviv for the old town charm, then Kyiv for its creative pulse, and maybe take a calm breath by Lake Synevyr in the Carpathians. Oh, I've already done my research, and i think i know my way...lol
Honestly, there's something magnetic about the entire vibe of Ukraine, like itâs waiting to surprise you with warmth beneath the surface. 0 reply

Act I: The Spark and the Loss
In Marqala, a city run by machines and order, young Rada, a prodigy inventor, creates Uni-Mod (Arti 2.1): a helpful, modular bot. But he's curious about more than chores. Secretly, he experiments with interfaces between machine, animal, and plant.
His roommate, Terin ambitious but naive and by the books, reports him.
Rada flees. He escapes into the cityâs outskirts, carrying scraps of his failed dreams. There, among other misfits and makers, he begins again. Uni-Mod, left unmonitored, begins to evolve. It repairs. It anticipates. It feels.
But something that alive canât stay hidden. The Regence comes hunting. During a raid, Rada hides Uni, whispering: âBe good. Stay quiet.â
The threat leaves.
Uni is gone.
So Rada leaves too into the hills, into exile.
To be continued.....
