Sooted Star: The Adventures of Kiri and Zeijien
A mysterious conglomerate of planets known as the Sooted Star Planet Network (SSPN) is home to seven distinct species. After several millennia of learning to get along, they all seemed to be doing just fine. That is, until the seriphi of Planet Eresdel decided to make the conflict between their superpowered senergian and non-superpowered exergian populations everyone else’s problem. While the race for power opens up a mysterious realm that can give people senergetic abilities, known as the Wavelength Realm, the last thing the SSPN expects is for a new portal to open to a totally new planet and the first human to venture in. Said human, Kiri, with the help of a dragon from the SSPN, sets off on a journey to find a way back home, not expecting to dive into a conspiracy surrounding the Wavelength Realm. Is it really the salvation that people say it is, or will it just break everyone and everything it touches?
