Chapter 28: A Mimic in the Day

“Life is beauty. Humanity is art. In every soul, no matter how wretched or filthy, there exists a special hue unique to them. A color. I have dedicated my life towards preserving those breathtaking masterpieces; yet, with each passing day, the people become more dull. More boring. Finding m...

Chapter 26: The Weight of a Promise

“A convincing lie must spring forth from a droplet of truth. When I speak, I do so whilst influenced under the shade of my past. Under the pain, the agony, and the hatred I harbored in those times were I had naught but my own weakness to blame. Yet I do not let it control me. I do not let i...

Chapter 25: I Believe In My Heart

“I ran. Back to the forest. Back to our little hut of sticks and leaves. I buried Surasha into my arms, and then I ran as far as my trembling legs would take me. Even when the air was filled with the sound of screams, I did not stop. Even when the smell of burning flesh tormented my senses,...

Chapter 24: The One Who Once Commanded the Tempest

“We spent years in that old forest. I don’t remember much, exactly. All that preoccupied my mind at the time was how to survive. Every day passed by in a hazy blur of hunger and cold, but I would always awaken the next morning—alive, and ready to repeat my struggle for life. Surasha str...

“I scarcely remember my parents. Despite carrying the noble name of Power, our line was one of a fallen branch—poor, unwanted, and cast away to the distant countryside where all we called home was a dirty hovel. We were treated as dregs, thrown alongside the other outcasts, and meagerly s...

Xeros Redesign (March 3rd, 2024)

First drawing with the new tablet, and I am frankly really astonished with just how much I’ve improved (I hope) after using the new features in the drawing software. It has made it a lot easier to do line art and shading while also making it a lot less messier looking now that you don’t see a...

Chaper 20: Prayer for Loving Sorrow

“Hm? What… is that? An ‘animal’? Well, I guess it looks kind of cute, but those hairy appendages remind me a little bit of Catastrophe. Are you sure you want to create something that resembles that mean old grump? Mm, if you’re sure. Since you love it that much, I will too. Forever ...

Update February 25th, 2024: Going Digital
