I am a published novelist, poet, and dreamer, and this channel is the world I built from all three.
This is a home for original romantasy music: dark, character-driven songs set across the kingdoms of Aetheria. Elves who love too fiercely. Vampires who can't be forgiven. Knights bound by oaths they shouldn't keep. Every song is a story: forbidden love, twin flames, redemption, and magic that outlives mortal life.
I create music the way I write stories: with depth, with ache, and with the belief that beauty can be a kind of shelter.
🏳️🌈 This is a space for every heart: all genders and identities are welcome here.
If you've loved too deeply, or found more comfort in an enchanted forest than the ordinary world — Aetheria was made for you.
✨ You'll find here:
Original dark romantasy songs
Vampire ballads, elven love stories, gothic romance
Cinematic narrative music rooted in myth and folklore
Subscribe, and let the music carry you somewhere far older and far more tender than this world.
Whispers Of Aetheria
🌹 FREDERIC IS BACK. 🩸
The last time we met our centuries-old vampire lothario, Frederic encountered something he had apparently never considered possible: you rejected him. Completely. His usual candlelight, dangerous smile and effortless charm failed spectacularly. 😂
Naturally, friends, Frederic has decided the problem cannot possibly be him. He simply needs to learn how one properly courts a woman with high standards like you. So he has read the books, studied the etiquette, and returned to Morothaan prepared to try again.
Diamonds? Rubies? Pearls? Flowers? Carriages? Opening doors? Offering his coat? Surely one of these will work. And if you ask Frederic for flowers, perhaps be extremely specific about the quantity. 🌹 Our boy is love-sick and he might get carried away!
Tonight, our ancient vampire attempts something considerably more difficult than seduction: winning you over properly.
Hope you enjoy!

Whispers Of Aetheria
Kingdom greetings, dear Aetherians, 🍁
Tonight, the hidden kingdom of Akatsumori opens its gates for the very first time. Its name means "The Forest of the Crimson Dawn," a realm where the first light of morning lingers forever among endless crimson maples, quiet rivers, and lantern-lit shrines. Hidden beyond mist-covered mountains, it is watched over by the ancient kitsune, whose loyalty is legendary and whose hearts, once given, are said to belong to only one person for all eternity.
Among them walks Prince Renji, heir to the sacred Scarlet Forest. For centuries he has guarded its hidden paths with quiet grace, welcoming lost travelers with kindness and carrying himself with the calm confidence of someone who has seen kingdoms rise and disappear beneath the autumn leaves. Gentle in his words, unwavering in his loyalty, and impossibly handsome, Renji is admired by many. Yet admiration has never been what he has sought.
That's why he noticed you. Your eyes met his once and now you have brought out his playful side.
He was so lovely that you've found yourself returning to the shrine more often than necessary. Your prayers have grown shorter, while the moments spent watching the Kitsune Prince have grown longer. Sometimes he catches your gaze and smiles before politely looking away. Sometimes, just as you're certain you've counted his tails correctly, the number seems to change, leaving you wondering whether your eyes deceived you... or whether the prince enjoys giving you another reason to come back tomorrow.
The old legends say a Kitsune earns another tail with every great century of wisdom, and only the oldest spirits ever possess all nine. Renji knows the stories well. He also knows that, for all his centuries of composure, there is one visitor who has begun to make even an ancient prince feel something unexpectedly unfamiliar.
If you've ever wondered why his eyes seem to linger on yours just a little longer than they do on anyone else's... Well friend, the answer may be simpler than you think.
🦊🍁

Whispers Of Aetheria
Beloved Citizens of the Realm,
This is an usual post a bit removed from our fantasy worldbuilding. But, a dear subscriber asked for some of the books on mediumship, spiritism and the afterlife that have helped me through pain, so I'm leaving the list here in case it helps someone else too.
These books carried me through immense grief, helped me work through anger over old injustices, and completely removed my fear of death. More than anything, they made me a kinder person. I hope they bring you a little of the comfort they brought me. ❤️ No condemnation here. I believe deeply in God but reject organized religion, and whoever you are, whoever you love, whatever you believe, you are welcome at my table ❤️
Don't be put off by the religious-sounding titles. Most are mystical accounts of spirit communication rather than orthodox teaching, though a few (Swedenborg, Kardec) are foundational texts in their own traditions. The Buddha and even Jesus appear here, but very differently from conventional Christianity and Buddhism, still with great love and reverence.
You don't have to believe any of it. Read with curiosity and take whatever brings you comfort. And please always remember that I genuinely care about you!
With much love,
~ The Quiet Scribe 🌹
P.S. Images are my own copy of the Divine Truth book. Bookmark is a gift my sibling made me, with flowers from my garden.
Most, if not all, of these book can be found *FREE* to read and download online, so I recommend searching the author's name and book title before choosing to buy a copy.
*MY PERSONAL FAVORITES & I suggest you start with them*
*Robert James Lees* — *Through the Mists*, *The Life Elysian*, *The Gate of Heaven* (read in that order)
The communications of an English man who died trying and failing to save a child from a carriage accident, describing what he found in the spirit world and his relationship with his twin-flame. Genuinely life-changing, and a big influence on Aetheria's.
*Franchezzo, A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands*
An all-time favorite. For anyone heartbroken, angry, or carrying thoughts of revenge: Franchezzo's descent into darkness after death, and his slow path back out. Dark in places, but never condemnatory.
*Dr. Carl Wickland, 30 Years Among the Dead*
Dr Carl's and his mediumistic wife's decades of accounts of spirit influence on physical and emotional human suffering. Changed how I think about consciousness and physical pain and distress, whatever conclusions you draw.
*Anthony Borgia*
Communications attributed to Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, including one of the most detailed descriptions of the moment of death I've encountered. Every book in this set touched me deeply. When I pass away, I hope to meet and thank him.

Whispers Of Aetheria
My dear Aetherians,
Meet Sir Lambert of Veloren ⚔️🌹
Lambert had spent so many years belonging to duty that it had never occurred to him his heart might one day belong to someone, until one rainy afternoon, when he saw a maiden standing beside a thorn-covered gate. Lambert had never considered love an absence in his life, but after that fated meeting, he could scarcely understand how he had lived without it.
Now, whenever duty carries him beyond the gates of Veloren and into another war, he has only one private prayer:
Let me survive long enough to come home to her.
Tonight's song my friends is about a knight, his oath, and the only woman he has ever loved ❤️⚔️

Whispers Of Aetheria
My dear Aetherians, ❤️
I have wanted to write to you for some time now. I know many of you leave me small pieces of yourselves in the comments beneath my videos, and I want you to know how much that means to me. We remain faceless names on a screen to one another, and yet some of you have become dear and precious souls to me all the same.
I have always loved letters. I think it is bound up with my love of words themselves, and something older in me that wants love to be tactile, held in the hand, not only an emotion I carry unseen. As a girl I dreamed of falling for someone who adored words and poetry as much as I did, so that we might exchange the kind of letters written by people who believed language itself could be a form of devotion. That dream never quite found its person. The few literary exchanges I did have, with other writers, in their own literary voices, brief as they were, remain some of the most beautiful correspondences of my life.
Lately I have felt the particular exhaustion of a soul that keeps circling back on itself, an ouroboros of sorts, tired not in body but in soul. The colors of ordinary life feel a little duller than they used to. I find myself needing music and poetry the way one needs water, and on the harder days, I return to childish comforts: a childhood cartoon, a coloring book, anything that asks nothing of me but reminds me of simpler times. Do you know what I mean? Are you the same?
My nightly escapes into the garden remain my favorite part of the day, time spent with God, with the spirits of the ancient roots, and with my animals.
Yesterday, in the middle of all that circling, I remembered something simple: I never stopped wanting to write letters to someone who would read them as closely as they were written. I only stopped believing that person had to be one soul, in one place, waiting for me. So, my friends, when you read these letters, consider yourselves the quiet subjects of my timeless affections.
And as an update 🐱🐾: Ryu, the little kitten we named together, is now a handsome and healthy boy, and has a new companion. This second one I pulled back from the edge of Parvo and blindness when he was barely weeks old, and whom the lovely and very clever @AlexiaValaz named Ryumi (Ryu plus Sumi). Ryu moves in the world like a nobleman recalling a previous life, while Ryumi moves like the reincarnation of a forest monkey, which makes me so happy, especially when I remember how sad and sick he was when I first found him.
✨✨So, tell me, my friends: on the days when you look around and feel low and alone, what do you turn to, to feed your soul back to life? What, if anything, makes you truly happy? I would love to know about *YOU*✨✨
I have also been thinking, these past days, of which of my favorite poems I might share with you. I finally settled on this. I leave it with you here, at the end of my letter, as a small offering worthy of sincere meditation.
~ With my whole heart, The Quiet Scribe 🌹
P.S The first image is of Ryu and Ryumi.
P.P.S The second image is a drink, and a beautiful vintage purchase from one of my recent travels 🎶
P.P.P.S Waiting, a poem by John Burroughs (1862) 🪶
Serene, I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For, lo! my own shall come to me.
I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it hath sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.

Whispers Of Aetheria
My Dear Aetherians,
🐇 The White Rabbit finally found her.
She thought she was simply tired of the ordinary world. Tired of disappointing dates, tired of searching for something that never seemed to exist.
Then a strange White Rabbit crossed her path. And she followed him.
What she doesn't know is that someone in Wonderland has been waiting for her. 🎩♥️
Tonight, you'll hear her song.
~The Quiet Scribe 🌹
P.S. I will write you at more length very soon. It's been a while, friends, and I've missed you dearly.

Kingdom greetings, my Dear Aetherians 🗡️
Tonight, Hugo returns.
The man who can charm nobles, deceive queens, outwit enemies... and leave broken hearts behind wherever he goes.
He's never questioned his greatest weapon.
Until one person simply didn't care.
This song marks the beginning of a journey that may change Hugo more than any mission ever could. Sometimes the person who can't see your beauty and isn't distracted by your charm is the one who sees *you* most clearly.
I hope you enjoy the next chapter of his story 🖤

Whispers Of Aetheria
My Dear Aetherians,
Tonight, we return to a realm we have walked before, but only now have a name for.
Gothirenne is a kingdom of gothic splendor, its architecture rising in bone-pale stone, gates and archways swallowed by ivy and white and red roses, crows watching quietly from every ledge, fountains standing still in courtyards ringed with moss. Baroque strings and dark opera drift from its manors, harpsichord and cello beside the heavier ache of folk and symphonic metal, Latin and older, half-forgotten tongues spoken only for vows and confessions of love. Its people dress with old aristocratic elegance, never disheveled, never performative, their darkness worn the way mourning silk is worn: tailored, dignified, sincere. They are proud, haughty, and devastatingly honest, a nation of poets, knights, and immortal houses who wear their grief openly and without shame. Truth is their highest law here. Love, once given, is often given forever.
And in this kingdom of light and dark and among its many mortal and immortal dwellers, lives an ancient race known as the *Duskaryn*, guardians born in the fleeting hour between sunset and night. With wings as dark as the space between the stars, they are often feared by those they protect, yet they have spent countless generations standing between the world and the darkness beyond the Twilight Veil.
Tonight's story belongs to *Kethvara* who is one of them and to the Maiden he loves, *Nalmes*, whose name means Diamond Eye.
Their love was never destroyed by betrayal, jealousy, or hatred. It was broken by something far more tragic: sacrifice.
He believed he was protecting the future of the woman he loved more than his own life.
She believed he had chosen duty over love. And she hasn't forgiven him.
This song is for my dear @alexlCrafter, who helped me rewrite my original lyrics. A great artist and soul with a wonderful channel of his own, friends! Check him out and hope you like tonight's song.
~ The Quiet Scribe 🌹
P.S. Thank you for ALL your great responses to my last post.
You, ladies and gents, are absolutely amazing and the best part of this channel ❤❤❤

Whispers Of Aetheria
My Dear Aetherians,
Kingdom greetings, my friends.
I've been quietly building something new, and I need your help to finish it.
As many of you know, the cinematic stories are the heart of Whispers of Aetheria, and nothing about them is changing. They will continue exactly as they always have, taking the time they need to become the stories we love.
But with the Zodiac Collection nearly complete, something else has been taking shape alongside them.
A second collection. A different atmosphere. A different pulse. The same world.
Instead of following a character across dozens of changing scenes, each of these songs will place you inside a single immersive moment, written so that you are not watching the story... you are living it. Richer music. Darker themes. Beautiful, hypnotic artwork. Not a lyric video. Not a replacement. Just a new door into Aetheria.
I won't reveal the full concept just yet (my friends, you'd be surprised how quickly ideas travel), but I think you'll understand it the moment the first one arrives.
Now comes the part I need your help with.
One thing matters deeply to me. I never want to romanticize cruelty or unhealthy relationships. Every love song on this channel comes from characters who are capable of love, growth, and redemption. Some walk darker paths than others, but there is always mutual longing, mutual choice, and hope. That line matters to me more than almost anything else.
🌹 ** So here is my one question: what feeling would you most like to experience in this new collection?**
Not the creature. Not the character. Just the emotion.
Devotion? Longing? Obsession? Jealousy? Protection? Surrender? Tell me the feeling, and I'll find the story that fits it. I want to create stand-alone pieces that you can listen to when you are in the mood for something faster, sexier... and darker.
This format allows new characters to enter Aetheria much more quickly. And if one of them captures your heart, we can always return later and give them a full cinematic story of their own.
This isn't replacing anything. It's simply expanding the kingdom we're building together. I'd love to try this as a limited series, and then decide together as resident of this kingdom whether it should stay. What do you think?
The first song arrives this Sunday.
What I want from you: Tell me the feeling. I'll bring the story. Feel free to give as much or as little explanation as you'd like.
~ The Quiet Scribe 🌹
P.S. I came across this old door whilst walking, and found that tiny heart-shaped lock so oddly symbolic and romantic... so I searched for it and somehow ended up buying five. I still don't know why 🗝️

My Dear Aetherians,
Dorian Gray has always fascinated me because he is not simply a villain...
He is a man who slowly convinced himself that beauty mattered more than goodness, until one day he could no longer recognize the person he had become.
It's so easy to get carried away, and we see it so often, don't we?! W
And so, tonight, we return to one of literature's most haunting.. or rather, most haunted, souls! The portrait has already spoken in his first song, and now, it is Dorian Gray's turn.
A beautiful man who slowly lost sight of the difference between preserving his face and preserving his soul.
I lent Dorian a couple of pieces from my closet to wear because I thought it would be a nice touch. And that "darkness" that shows up in the video is from a frightening experience I had as a child.
I hope you'll enjoy stepping once more into Oscar Wilde's masterpiece.
I send you all my love, friends, and wrap you all in tenderness.
~ The Quiet Scribe 🌹
P.S. I am doing my best to tie up a few older songs, so stories feel less "unfinished" and more satisfying for all of you. Again, I can't thank you enough for your patience with me, and promise to do my best to make the wait worth it for all of you.
