from Anturia Diaries Prequel Stories

The Porta Segreta was supposed to be under control.

Reports said the humans were calm.
Curious.
Grateful.

They were wrong.

When violence erupts inside an Anturian observation facility, Bryn Tal is pulled back into the heart of governance and into the first undeniable proof that the door between worlds has already begun to push back.

Humans are dead. Guards are slain. And three subjects have vanished into Anturia, armed with knowledge no one believed they could wield.

As the council scrambles to contain the damage, lines harden. They soften truth into language. They bury fear beneath procedure. And for the first time, Bryn finds herself openly at odds with the leadership she once trusted.

This episode marks the moment where restraint fractures into secrecy, and power chooses silence over accountability.

Not all doors close when danger appears.
Some stay open on purpose.

A cinematic fantasy fiction audio drama exploring control, fear, and the moment authority begins to lie to itself and to its people.
