The Sun Siblings
“When the Sun, anguished by her loneliness in the dark, silent space, started crying, her tears fell into the continent and they created life. Each tear left a mark, filling the land with magic, and the desire to protect it. This desire was so powerful that it would transform into its own entity, one whom would protect the lands and phenomena it was attached to. They got many names through the centuries to come, but most called them Spirits.
The Sun quickly fell in love with them and mortals (or borrowers of stardust). Plants, animals or elves, she didn’t care. They all captivated her. Each creature taking a bit of her stardust to exist. But what is a second faced against eternity? What means a lifetime to the Sun?
Driven by the desire to walk among them, the sun poured most of her power into the continent, and from it, Eki was born. Daughter of the Sun, sister of Life. Eki was a curious being, full of wonder and all the desires of her mother. She loved all creatures, but she was most captivated by mortals and their doings”

Some lore about the beginnings of my story and how the Sun and her infinite loneliness, was the main factor in the creation of the continent that everyone knows nowadays.
She also created Life and Eki! The Sun Siblings, as I like to call them. One by accident, one filled with pure love. Their story is not more than a fairytale in the continent. Mortals are prone to forget and what one day was real soon became legend.

先日書いたキャラ絵に背景たして完成!
ただ、なんかキャラ絵のみのほうが好きで背景付け足すムズさにただひたすらのたうちまわった感じです。要勉強ですね…
The background was added to the character illustrations I had recently drawn to complete the project.

The Unknown
“The Unknown is outside the mortal realm, but also inside. It is nothing yet it is everything. The spaces unused, the words never said, the darkness of night, the shadows in a summer day, a truth never told. Two sides of the same coin. I made sure it looked beautiful so mortals could feel peace after a life of regrets and worries. To live the present for the first and last time”
[OC] Death (she/her) and Elowen (they/them)
More under the cut! 🌿💚
A little description of “The Unknown” (also called Death’s realm or Death’s garden) taken from a scene I wrote between her and Orris (MC), where Death explains to The Princess how her realm works.
Elowen and Death have been friends for centuries. Mortals call Death “The White Lady” and it is no coincidence that the birds call Elowen that too. For their similar appearance they are often mistaken, that’s why birds think it’s a bad omen to bother the forest spirit.
The Unknown is an evergreen garden as vast as the eye can meet, stuck in an eternal spring. No sunlight can enter but, centuries ago, Life gifted Death the warmth of the sun, the reason why every day is warm like those perfect spring days, with a soft breeze and the aroma of a thousand flowers. The garden is as infinite as nothing can be. On a hill there, between sweet flower bushes and trees, there’s a small cottage where Death lives and where she invites visitors for tea and honey bread.
The Unknown can only be accessed when a mortal dies. There Death takes their stardust and gives it back to the land, where it belongs. After a friendly chat and a walk through the gardens she bids them farewell. Some exceptions have been made where people have gone in and out of The Unknown unharmed (mostly), an unusual thing to happen, but not impossible. Elowen is one of those cases.
Aesthetically, The Unknown looks like an old watercolor or oil painting, with a soft background and more pastel looking colors. There Death has the ability to see, unlike in the mortal realm, where she’s blind.
