The Sky-Veil: Chapter 4
The Cavern of the Oracle
Chapters 4 and beyond are for paid subscribers.
Journey Across the Sky-Veil is a mythopoetic journey through a forgotten realm where the divine brushes the mortal. A nameless man awakens beneath a veil of sorrow and memory, guided by three silent goddesses across a path of signs, silence, and sacred trials. His quest is not to rise in power, but to remember his name—and the order of Being itself. This is a story of longing, wisdom, and the quiet majesty that crowns the soul.

The path bent downward.
Not steeply, but with inevitability. The grass thinned, giving way to cracked earth veined with violet stone. The wind grew still. And then—it stopped altogether.
Before him yawned a jagged opening in the hillside: not shaped by hands, but torn from the land by something he felt deeply in his soul—grief. The air that drifted out from within was cold, dry, ancient.
This was the place he had sensed in the golden fields before the distant Highlands of Majesty.
This was the Cavern of the Oracle.
