from Anturia Diaries Prequel Stories

Bryn Tal records this account from captivity, long after the world she knew began to burn.

Two hundred years before the war that would change Teithia forever, an off-world stranger arrives before the Anturian council with an irresistible promise: a doorway to a twin planet called Earth, rich in resources, opportunity, and untapped potential. Against centuries of caution, the council approves the construction of the Porta Segreta.

What begins as progress soon feels like something far more dangerous.

This opening episode marks the moment everything changes: before the fires, before the betrayals, before everything is lost.

A cinematic fantasy audio drama exploring power, temptation, and the cost of opening doors that should have remained closed.

from Anturia Diaries Prequel Stories

Months after the Porta Segreta is activated, the first Anturian teams return from Earth unharmed. The portal works. The technology holds. By every measurable standard, the mission is a success.

That certainty is what unsettles Bryn Tal the most.

As rules are drafted and boundaries set, confidence spreads through the council. Observation replaces caution. Curiosity begins to eclipse restraint. What was meant to remain distant and untouched slowly becomes familiar—and tempting.

In the council chambers of Teithia, the language shifts. Discussions of restraint give way to justification. And beneath the calm surface of progress, something fractures quietly, long before anyone is willing to name it.

This episode traces the moment when moral lines blur, and the first divisions take root—not through violence, but through belief.

A cinematic fantasy audio drama exploring power, justification, and how easily good intentions begin to bend.
