What’s the first line of your WIPs??

I always love to hear about other writers work and the vibes of their stories. So what’s the first line of your book(s)?? I also always like reading these posts and they can open up really interesting conversations. And maybe some background information too!! I’ll go first!!

‘Fairies stopped flying centuries ago.’

My book is a fantasy adventure about how magic got choked to the brink of extinction. It follows a fairy boy named Hierro who has to go into a war-ridden world to find a cure for his colony.

Help me re-name my character because I’m indecisive..

Okay so I’m writing a trilogy fantasy book including fairies, dragons, nymphs and found family.
I originally wrote this characters name as Hiro, just as a place holder. Just based of yk Hero vs Protagonist type thing. But now, it’s kind of just his name. If you’re a writer you might get it.
But the thing is, his name does not really fit into the world that’s kind of just unfolded around me, and the irony of his name is something holding him back kind of. Also, his brother is unnamed and it’s something that’s become annoying to me because I REALLY cannot come up with a name for him. (The names I have come up with are very white sounding and do not match with Hiro dunno what I was thinking)
Sooooo what are some fantasy boy names for both Hiro and his brother pleaseeeeeee. Also they’re both fairies if that helps.

Help me name my characters brother??

This is about a book I’m writing, not about real people. My main characters name is Hiro, and he is searching for his brother in this book. In the past his brothers name has been Fallon, then I moved onto Everaux but I really don’t like either of these and all I’ve come up with is Rune. What are some names that could go well with the name Hiro pleaseeee.

Help Me Find Some Plot Holes

I'm writing a new Sci-fi story, but I've made this kind of like Knight system for a solar system where they are protecting this set of planets that were previously taken advantage of because of the materials they produce. But these sets of Knights are anonymous. They were these gold helmets that are really cool and are very well known for turning the tables in a war and their good will. They wear these to be anonymous, they do good things not expecting things in return and when they take these off, no one knows who they are and they can continue living their own lives without this praise they are raised to not want. There's more to this that I probably haven't thought to add in, but my question is, what's a plot hole/causality issue that I am not thinking of that could cause a problem in this story?
