Veil Of Tears Novels & Stories

Beautiful. I opened my eyes and looked at the Veil tear hovering before us. It was worse than I expected. The wound stretched twenty feet across, edges ragged and bleeding darkness into reality.

Immediately after, he realized that her veil was soaked in tears. Her face was fully covered hence he couldn’t decipher what was wrong with her but then in order to check her body temperature he must uncover her face. His hands trembled for the first time as he carefully removed her veil. His eyes automatically closed since he was afraid of what he would see under the veil. knowing full well that she would probably hate it if he saw her face, he felt a pang of guilt engulf him as he lowered her veil.

“And there is repair. If you confuse those with fear, you’ll rebuild the old world by accident.” Silence falls, heavy and resentful. But it holds. — The Veil changes again. Subtly. I notice it when I walk the old crossing near dawn. The shimmer there is thicker, not brighter—like air before rain. It responds not to command, but to proximity. To intention without force. I realize then that the Veil is learning us the way we are learning it. No longer arbiter. Witness. — The blight slows. Not because of a miracle.

“She’s slipping. Her essence is crossing the threshold. Soon her mortal body will be useless. And then—” He lifted the blade into the air. “—the Luna’s heart will open the Veil.” “No,” I breathed. “It already is.” A pulse rolled through the forest— Heat and cold all at once.

Silver is bleeding from its edges. A doorway.

She knelt right in front of her father's grave. Her veil fell forward. It draped like a curtain, hiding most of her face. Still, I caught the shine of tears sliding down her cheeks. I didn't have to see more to know she was falling apart. Her shoulders shook with those soft sobs. Each one cut into me like a knife. Gah, seeing her cry was... torture. The worst kind of torture. The kind of torture that broke one's soul.

Her whole arm extended, finger aimed at the sky, her face turned upward with an expression that was pure Thornblood, pure recognition, something she had been taught to identify and had hoped she would never see. I looked up. There were two moons. The first one sat where it always sat. The second had risen beside it, enormous, three times the size of the first, the colour of old blood, casting a red light across the road and the tree line and all of our faces. Vera stepped out of the truck and looked up and grabbed my arm. "The Veil is already tearing," she whispered. Her voice was stripped of everything except urgency. "Not in hours. We have hours, not days. This changes everything.”

That was the only time I let my eyes open again. I calmed myself down. I tried to get up and took my towel. I headed towards the bathroom and soaked myself in the shower for a long time. As if it could erase all of Atlas' belittlement. I scrubbed myself to at least lessen the pity I felt for myself. But I still failed. I thought it was done, but my tears streamed down together with the water from the shower that cascaded down my body. With the soft sounds of the water were my muffled cries.

“That sound—” A ripple of violet light cut through the night sky. It wasn’t lightning. It was a tear—a vertical wound splitting through the air, glowing faintly as it expanded. Lila’s breath caught. The Veil. Through the tear, she could see flashes—fragments of another place: a barren wasteland of broken glass, fire, and floating structures that defied gravity.
