Season 1: Episode 2 – The Quiet Divide

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.
