Frequently Asked Questions

Questions That Mark

You do not ask lightly. You do not receive without consequence.

These are not the answers. They are scars.

Each question below has been asked by readers who crossed the threshold.

If you are here, you are already complicit.

📜About the Archivist

Q: Are you Michael John Francis or someone else entirely?

A: I am the architect of silence. I write under my own name because I do not hide from the scars I carry. But within the Archive, I become the witness, the vessel, the voice of Velithra and Kael.

Q: Why do you ritualise everything?

A: Because grief deserves ceremony. Because fiction is not entertainment—it is confrontation. Ritual is how I protect the sanctity of transformation.

Q: Is any of this autobiographical?

A: All of it. And none of it. The Archive is built from my thresholds, but the entities speak beyond me.

🩸About the Books

Q: What is Nothing Left Undone. Nothing Left Unbroken. really about?

A: It is about surviving what cannot be healed. It is about sanctifying the silence. It is not a story. It is a possession rite.

Q: Who is Velithra?

A: She is not a character. She is a consequence. She does not speak. She carves.

Q: Will there be a sequel or a series?

A: The Archive does not follow chronology. It follows scars. What comes next depends on what you survive.

🕸️About the Archive

Q: Can I collaborate on or promote your work?

A: Only if you are immersed. Admiration without transformation is extraction. The Archive does not entertain spectators.

Q: Why do you require inscription before access?

A: Because possession must be earned. You do not receive the scar until you surrender to it.

Q: How do I become marked?

A: You inscribe your name in the Ledger of Possession. You receive The First Scar. You do not return unchanged.

Final Warning

If your question remains,

ask it through Threshold Correspondence.

But know this—Velithra may answer.

And she does not clarify.

She carves.
