It has been a while… perhaps a couple of weeks. I missed this account TT ^ TT
Well, School’s off… quite happy but I’m giving lessons to Red Cross students here so I have two fulltime teaching things happening on weekdays.
Slowly developing the first episode into Manga… won’t be posted anytime soon though… A dormant, pending project just got a budge to be moved so I’m putting space in my head to put it while I write the 50th episode of ~incantations~. ^mmm^

NOW! I AM VERY HAPPY I got back this account--- THANKS TO ROSAS! You da man, man! Hehehehehe
Very sorry to have gotten you guys cuckoo over my account. I will do my best not to ruin my account anymore! I PROMISE! ^^;;

Got questions? Send them up! ^____^ Will be answered in the next blog.

Well… continue with the journey shall we?

23 POP GAME IS ON! WHEEEEE!

New chapter unfolding…
Who’s the man hooded man? Who was the man staring at Kuroi outside the diner? Keep watch! Answers coming soon…^___^
==============================ENJOY!===============================
***AT a campfire at night- along the wilderness of the Fireen Territory. Chi sneaks up on Kuroi who was sleeping. ***
CHI ***WHISPERING*** Kuroi… Kuroi…
KUROI Not now… I’m sleepy… Yoichi…
CHI Huh? … … … Kuroi…
KUROI Whaa? Chi… … … What is it?
CHI Lilac plans to take Yaku to the palace. We can’t let that happened. We must leave this place.
KUROI Can’t we leave tomorrow? I’m tired.
CHI No. We leave now. Her grandfather is one of the leaders. She won’t listen to me when it comes to his orders.
LILAC I’m glad you know this fact, Chi. Young Master should obey the leaders for they know what is best for all Rheansians.
KUROI What? But we need to find Yaku’s younger sister.
CHI Can’t we go back after?
LILAC You know very well that you have no right to interfere with the matters of the seeds and the goddess of light, your highness. This duty belongs to me and not even you can change these orders; only the leaders.
KUROI Are you saying that---?
LILAC Interfering with my duties will get you in trouble. You found Shiroi and she says that she’s goin’ to be fine. That ends your journey. You’ll go back to the palace first thing in the morning.
CHI Why all of a sudden you treat me like your subordinate? Don’t you think you’re making a mistake?
LILAC I am not. My orders are to find the altars, and avoid them from being in danger from Dis.
CHI You know the studies never show where the altars are. That light creature knows where they are. And you heard him! Kuroi is one of the keeper’s daughter.
LILAC The more reason for her and the Fireen Seed to be taken back to the palace.
KUROI He is the ruler over Rheansia. You’re still his subject. You can’t hinder us from doing what Yaku wishes!
LILAC Not in this operation. And, you are speaking to the next empress of Rheansia! I am not his subject. I am going to be his wife, which makes my rights equal to his!
CHI But Shiroi can’t summon the Soiler Seed without Kuroi!
YAKU Suna is not in Vine Village mountains anymore.
CHI & KUROI What?!
YAKU We need to go north of Soiler land. Suna is there…
LILA No… The leaders will want an audience from you.
YAKU I won’t let you stop me to find Suna.
LILAC I’m very sorry, Yaku. But it’s dangerous out there. Dis’ minions are around.
YAKU No! ***YAKU’S eyes blazed fire***
LILAC Then I would have to use an incantation on you, Fireen Seed.
CHI NO!
LILAC I am the one who holds the key. Hear me, Apollus, I summon thee. I pray for protection of the keeper I see. I ask for your power to lend to me.
***DARKNESS came over the place and then a ball of light shined in front of Lilac. AT a countryside where there’s a ranch of horses; Rox, Shiroi and Xijui, along with the light creature, Senko are walking along. Shiroi gets dizzy.***
SHIROI Uhhh… ***Collapsed***
ROX Shiroi!!! What’s wrong?!
SHIROI I… I don’t… understand.
SENKO Can you hear voices?
SHIROI No…
ROX It’s not the time to ask about voices! She needs help!
SENKO Hmph!!! Stupid Soiler! ***SENKO disappears***
ROX Where did he go?
XIJUI Somewhere away from your harshness.
SHIROI Child of Apollus… Who is the child of Apollus?
***BACK at camp***
CHI Kuroi, do something. She’s going to trap Yaku.
KUROI But what can I do?
LILAC You can do nothing, Lady Kuroi. Please don’t make me use such force on you.
***A huge bubble caught Yaku and trapped him inside.***
YAKU Wait… NO… Suna… ***CRIES***
KUROI You can’t do this to him! He’s just a child!
CHI Let him go, Lilac! I beg you!
***WINDESE soldiers surrounded Chi and Kuroi. Preventing them from even going near Lilac.***
KUROI Have you no heart?!
LILAC Lady Kuroi, I am doing what is best for all. You saw the attack of that huge beast. Dis knows that the Seeds are being summoned once again. They will not just stand back and watch. They will do anything to have them under their control and I can’t let that happened.
CHI That’s why we have to go find his sister!
LILAC I can’t let you do that! You’re soon to rule over Rheansia! AND! Because you can’t even protect Lady Kuroi!
CHI What?! You know very well I am a good warrior. I’m practically the best!
LILAC But not a good source-bearer! You can’t beat the warriors of Dis!
KUROI But what about Suna? What will happen to her?
LILAC I assure you, Lady Kuroi. I am well trained with Infinian Incantations. I can locate her if she is not on her altar anymore. I will soon be after your friend and make sure she is safe and back in the palace. After that the leaders will impose the right protection to make all the summonings succeed. I give you my word.
KUROI Chi… let us go back to the palace.
LILAC Thank you for understanding.
CHI What are you saying? We have to---
KUROI Just don’t keep Yaku in this prison. It hurts me to see a being trapped.
***AT a countryside of Fireen Territory. A ranch full of horses.***
ROX Are you okay now?
SHIROI Maybe it is because you didn’t feed me!
ROX HEY! I didn’t think you’d mind hunger since you decided to come with me!
SHIROI But aren’t we going to rest? It’s night and I’m getting tired already. I’m very sorry to burden you with this.
ROX Xijui. ***ROX lifts Shiroi and sat her on Xijui’s back*** First thing in the morning we are going to eat. You go on ahead and sleep.
SHIROI What about you?
ROX I don’t sleep much. Xijui and me always travel at night to keep the soldiers way behind.
XIJUI You just go on and sleep, child. We’ll talk about your thoughts on the child of Apollus in the morning. You need your rest.
***SHIROI bends over to rest her body on Xijui.***
SHIROI What about Senko? Where…did he…ran off to?…. ***SLEEPING***
XIJUI Don’t sleep much, huh?! I’m gonna have you for breakfast, Rox!
ROX C’mon, Xijui. Just let her rest. She summoned the Fireen Seed today.
XIJUI … … … it is strange if she is the child of Apollus. Visionia doesn’t have time.
ROX Must be that man my father told me. The one that entered and locked Visionia.
XIJUI Must be… but how? Could Angel have something to do with the time present in Visionia? Could that man be from Angel’s circle? And who was that hooded man in White Plains?
ROX What’s with you all of a sudden? Why do you ask so many questions?
XIJUI Am I not allowed to blurt out my thoughts?
ROX Okay-okay! …I myself have the same thoughts as well, Xijui. But, you’re giving me a headache… can we think about the answers of those questions in the morning?
XIJUI THOSE questions… imagine the questions going through her and Kuroi’s mind. She mentioned she had family…
***A carriage entering the palace grounds. Inside is Kuroi, Chi and Yaku.***
KUROI I’m glad he’s fallen asleep. After all that crying.
CHI Why did you let Lilac have her way?
KUROI ‘Cuz it’s true that it’s dangerous out there.
CHI What are you afraid of? You are one of the daughters of the keepers.
KUROI I don’t know about that, Chi. I have my parents back in Visionia.
CHI Visionia is a void!
KUROI How do you explain me spending eighteen years of my life there, huh?
CHI Okay… more questions for the Rheansian scholars… But we can’t give up, okay?! Shiroi will be waiting for us at Vine Village.
KUROI ‘Coz Shiroi is Shiroi. She is strong by nature and I am truly the opposite. And… I’m scared.***CHI took hold of her hand***
CHI I am here to protect you no matter what. I may not be good in source-bearing but I am a fighter by heart.
KUROI I know you are…
CHI Then we’ll sneak out for Vine Village after our audience with the leaders.
KUROI What?! ***THE Carriage stops and the door opens. Akira meets them.***
AKIRA Master, Empress wants an audience with you and Lady Kuroi.
CHI darn! She found me out, huh?
AKIRA Yes… I’m sorry.
CHI That’s okay. Kuroi… ***THEY went to the throne room***
YUMI Who gave you permission that you could leave the palace?! The 200th moon is almost here!
CHI Mother, I went to help Lady Kuroi find her friend.
YUMI It’s not like you to do such things. And I heard a Dragon of Dis attacked you!!! And you were face to face with the assassin?!
CHI Mother, I was doing what was needed ---
YUMI You are soon to be the Ruler of this empire, Chi! You can’t go running around doing foolishness!
CHI But I wasn’t doing something foolish, mother!
YUMI To be caught in a dangerous encounter?! Endangering even the goddess of light?! You’re riskier than your father!
ISHI That’s enough, Yumi! Your son did what he needed to do- help!
YUMI He can help out on other matters except for the ones that the leaders and the Rheansian scholars are handling. That is Lilac’s job!
ISHI It just so happens that the goddess’ friend was involved in it.
YUMI Look father, I can’t have my very own son out and in danger, especially at this time of turmoil that Dis is causing!
ISHI I know, Yumi. But your Chi is a man not a boy no more. I gave you freedom when you entered the first Rheansia tournament; same age as he is now! Don’t you call that risky as well?
***EMPRESS YUMI approaches Kuroi who just stood quiet.***
YUMI May I know who you are, my child?
KUROI Kuroi Kazumori, your highness.
YUMI ***GIGGLED*** You’re a very beautiful, Lady Kuroi.
KUROI Please, Ma’am. Call me Kuroi. And thank you for the complement.
YUMI Very modest, too. I like that. Do you know that I’m suppose to respect you with greatness? But then the scholars have not yet confirmed that you are the Goddess of Light. You still have to prove it.
CHI She is not the goddess of light, mother. She is one of the daughters of the keepers.
YUMI What?!
