Revisited my design for Aya a bit - I like how she turned out in this one! The scan did some weirdness to the background...

Janucá, la fiesta judía de las luces

🇪🇸 Janucá, conocida como la fiesta judía de las luces, es una de las festividades más importantes y alegres en el calendario hebreo. Cada año, los judíos celebran esta festividad desde el 26 de diciembre hasta el 2 de enero. La celebración conmemora un milagro histórico ocurrido en el año 165 a.C., cuando los judíos lograron recuperar el Templo de Jerusalén y se encontraron con solo un poco de aceite para encender la menorá, el candelabro sagrado. Este aceite, milagrosamente, ardió durante ocho días, lo que es el motivo central de la festividad. Durante los ocho días, los hogares judíos encienden las velas de la janukiá, un candelabro de nueve brazos. El shamash, la novena vela, se usa para encender las demás. A lo largo de la celebración, se comparten momentos familiares y se realizan actividades como el juego del dreidel (sevivón), y se disfrutan alimentos fritos como los levivot y sufganiyot (buñuelos). Janucá también es un momento de reflexión espiritual, donde la luz de las velas simboliza la esperanza, la resiliencia y la lucha contra la opresión. Este año, la festividad comenzará la noche del 25 de diciembre, coincidiendo con la Navidad, un recordatorio de que tanto la esperanza como la luz pueden trascender cualquier oscuridad.

🇺🇸 Hanukkah, known as the Jewish Festival of Lights, is one of the most important and joyous holidays in the Hebrew calendar. Every year, Jews celebrate this festival from December 26 to January 2. The celebration commemorates a historical miracle that occurred in 165 BCE, when the Jews recaptured the Temple of Jerusalem and found only a small amount of oil to light the sacred menorah. This oil, miraculously, burned for eight days, which is the central theme of the holiday. Over the eight days, Jewish homes light the hanukkiah, a nine-branched candelabrum. The shamash, the ninth candle, is used to light the others. Throughout the celebration, families share moments together, play the dreidel game (sevivon), and enjoy fried foods like levivot and sufganiyot (doughnuts). Hanukkah is also a time for spiritual reflection, where the light of the candles symbolizes hope, resilience, and the fight against oppression. This year, the holiday begins on the night of December 25, coinciding with Christmas, a reminder that both hope and light can transcend any darkness.

So-called "Ivory of Shapash" (North-Semitic Sun Goddess) Origin: Syro-Phoenician, ca. 8th century BCE Found in palace of Ashurnasirpal II Nimrud, Iraq (Assyria) (Met Museum 59.107.7, Pub Domain, Enhanced) Built by the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II, the palaces and storerooms of Nimrud housed thousands of pieces of carved ivory. Most of the ivories served as furniture inlays or small precious objects such as boxes. While some of them were carved in the same style as the large Assyrian reliefs lining the walls of the Northwest Palace, the majority of the ivories display images and styles related to the arts of North Syria and the Phoenician city-states. Phoenician style ivories are distinguished by their use of imagery related to Egyptian art, such as sphinxes and figures wearing pharaonic crowns, and the use of elaborate carving techniques such as openwork and colored glass inlay. North Syrian style ivories tend to depict stockier figures in more dynamic compositions, carved as solid plaques with fewer added decorative elements. However, some pieces do not fit easily into any of these three styles. Source: The Met Museum

Shamash, the Visage of Light.

Another Visage that appeared in the aftermath of the Rebellion. Which may be shocking, as it shocked me, but still. (How does that square with the fact that Nusku literally lit up the sun and stars and Shamshiel was the sun that lit up the world…? Well… you'd have to ask the authors.) At creation, all Angels interacted in one way or another with the light created by God. And the Angels were also tasked with devising ways to use it, to direct it, to oversee the work of the celestial lights.

Scarah kept his eyes on a modest little star that didn't stand out in any way in the general night sky. He liked to be small and inconspicuous, so even after the Rebellion and the Fall, he preferred this way of life. He served modestly in the Silver Legion, gaining knowledge of the light, of the world, and not standing out in any way.

As the walls of the Abyss cracked, allowing passage outside, Scarah was drawn in by the subtle call of a dying soul. A librarian girl was dying at the hands of her abusive boyfriend. He almost strangled her, but … Scarah had already taken over poor Odette's body. A burst of brightest light, a crunch of bones … He didn't quite realize that he had immediately rushed to her defense and… himself. For now they shared the same body.

He's still quiet and humble. Well, kind of. At least he's one of the nicest Cryptics in town. But his influence as the keeper of knowledge and secrets is steadily growing. Demons come to him for advice and information. Oh, he'll gladly trade his knowledge for something interesting. If you have anything to offer.
