Hi, Nate speaking
Happy holidays!
There's a new artwork done for Yphemu:
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/103333007
It's a partially livelier colour of hers~
Can't wait to see if we can come up with a new cover for the coming new chapters, starting on January. So for the mean time, we'll get ahead to some spoiler territory.
“Captain!” the crew member shouted.
His response was quick as he saw Ugnile’s trapped half. Swiftly reaching through a space he could fit his arm, he pulled the tree with effort, almost looking like he’d pop a vein on his neck. Without telling twice, the crew member quickly pulled Ugnile from under, care was not in his vocabulary momentarily, but it was necessary since the blood from Ugnile’s injuries poured badly.
Coughing, he was pushed up by the crew member in time for Erizoma to arrive, blood-soaked and sweaty. “Captain, the rod of light seems to have eradicated the Dire-eaters,” pointing to the direction of the disappearing thread, “we could still make it, perhaps?”
The next chapter going up will be all Rifeus Ugnile chapter, something I've come to realize is pretty intense. There's more action scenes here than most, which was exciting to write and imagine. Floating and magic in my head doesn't clash much due to how I want to create rational physics within the confines of the universe they live in.
Anyways, for now that's all!

Before they could finish, Uran had already left the room, knowing by the distance of where he saw the monitor of the navigator’s map that the steering of the ship has succeeded and all they need is to automatically wait and see their docking timing. Jaaron and Pemmi are left to their devices, knowing full well Uran’s intent by leaving them. Jaaron can be seen from behind Uran’s back hurriedly going to the steering platform to double-check with Pemmi so that their course won’t be disturbed as Uran went out to check on the rest of the ship.He knew that his current crew is not up to par with the numbers that needs to manage the entire ship when danger arise, and it shows in this current situation. Included in this number are the civilians that live with them, that are families of the crew involved. Their safety has always been a priority despite the circumstance of Sunflora, but there can never be a guarantee. One way or another, a family member riding i

Happy New Year to all! Nate here. January has finally come! This is the official month of posting for the continued chapters of the novel. Much of the story will slowly progress into the action heavy scenarios of the first few chapters. I cannot wait to fill in on the new chapters as well as the coming months. This will be a familiar and unfamiliar territory overall. Thus as much as there will be familiar like scenes comparable to other fantasy stories, elements like this are inevitable. Please bear in mind, there will be Tagalog elements within the story. Mostly words or names, and the occasional phrases. This not a pure Filipino work, but their history and language basically derive from my native tongue. This is a conscious decision more as a reference than hard driven origin or the likes. These kinds of things are not ideal representation, I know, but the story is not a hundred percent Filipino because mostly it's a mix of European sort of elements. We are talking about a fictio

“Keeping our safe is one of our best traits, we believe and trust each other even with fault. And we will always, b—but…” Uran stuttered. He felt a hand on his shoulder as he blinked then continued. “I’m sorry…” he sobbed, “but a few minutes before we entered our destination, an accident occurred, and we need to a rescue party to venture into the forest. A few of the children fell through the hole made by a Dire-eater. I believe they are still alive from the distance we were attacked.“Please proceed to the main deck, all hands available, in fifteen. Jaaron, Pemmi, prepare the break light.” Uran finished.He knew Rona or Luri has already prepared for this protocol even before they landed, but it was Jaaron and Pemmi at the helm of the captain’s cabin. If they can’t monitor it for him then what is the worth of making them both his direct apprentices for the positions of both second and third

“Good, the sliver is bright and clear. This is good Uran, your son is alive and well. Nearer even than we expect.” Ugnile said as he looked back to Uran whose face lessened its tension as he saw the light of the thread. “My Agulman can only last five minutes in one cast, we need to search for him in this bracket before we have to recast the spell again.”Uran nodded, partially aware of how an Aguulman works. “Thank you Ugnile,” as he said this, the sound of an engine, discreet humming. He looked around and saw the two Festoons rising from the side of the Sunflora.The nearest Festoon from the right is commandeered Ronata with an extra crew member under Esie, while the other is driven by Lotois with Luri along with one crew member that also belonged with Esies’. There was no time to bother with other things, Uran pointed Ugnile and Eran to Ronata, while Thera and Erizoma automatically rode on Lotois’.“Five mi

Approaching Lotois first, Uran hugged him as he patted Keia’s head, she sobbed and stayed hiding. Her clothes were stained, and her elbow and arm are covered in blood. Beside them, Ronata ran to Luri whom she hugged along with her son. Erizoma and Thera stood on either side of the group, their weapons at the ready.“Don’t worry,” Lotois said as he noticed Uran looking at the blood, “it’s not hers,” he said but looked at the other crew member.Uran nodded and moved to the crew member before and patted him. “We need to deliver the child back onboard despite. What happened to your Festoon?”“Ripped half, after landing at least, the damn Dire-Father limbs reached us,” Erizoma said as he looked back to where they came from. “We luckily found where Keia and the two who were with her, but we couldn’t save the other boy who was already injured and bleeding. Ochre is the only one uninjured, sur

Crossing over the fields of the forest originally felt like a suicide mission to Elder Lymantera, in the hopes her loyal soul comes soothed and an example to her fellow Kabay who lived with the dignity of never throwing their arms in the face of death for their cause. However, she felt the pain of regret as her eyes blurred from being thrown to the ground after the blast radius of the Prime Magician’s magic rocked the winds off any living creature around.Broken tree logs and shattered branches, dead animal bodies mixed with Dire-eaters left and right, the iron smell of blood and charcoal bogged Elder Lymantera who covered the basket she carried. There, inside, lay the sleeping visage of the babe, her eyes softly closed as her tiny hands gripped the handkerchief of her mother. Dust slightly entered the edges of her comfortable-looking bed fixed with soft blankets, but the old woman managed to protect her face and other parts just in case.In exchange for her effo

“Hello, I—how are you able to—haaa… It’s not good to leave children in this dangerous place.” Elder Lymantera said while she tried retaining her lips from spewing panic and misleading words, something to avoid influencing the children in front of her.It was useless to the other child inside the small opening, a girl with an injured shoulder because the child whimpered and remained to sink deeper against the wall that sheltered them. Compared to the younger child who was looking over Elder Lymantera’s shoulder, he seemed distracted despite their situation. He looked tired and hesitant, but the shine of curiosity did not go away from his eyes.“What was that?” he asked as he pointed at a large chunk of the Dire-eater Mother that was previously gliding above the skies. “It shines like a superstar up in the sky, it’s amazing.” Then his pointing hand clenched and he slowly pulled his arm back to his b

Picking a stick nearby, checking if it was good as a weapon or distraction, she held on to this like a pole ready on hand for an incoming attack even if she had no chance of using it or winning against anyone. Overhead is the darkness looming and the occasional sounds of rustle and Dire-eater screech, though only a distance, it ticks a nervousness in her when the rumble of their movements could be felt and heard.Down behind the rock hiding place, several uprooted trees and a clearing could be seen where the destruction of the fighting small Dire-eaters seemed to have also chunked out a part of the land. Roaming to see where the girl lay felt like hours, but it only lasted for seconds, and the idea of taking her time to see if the girl was still alive is a dread she was delaying.She did find the girl, all bloodied and partially trapped, though the girl could move from where she is, her injury was what kept her from moving.
