#The Legend of Bolyra

[nightfoxproductions726]

Art WIP

Even though these are prototypes at the moment. Currently revamping a Slice of Life comic that fleshes out more of my Legend of Bolyra story and the Kaeyama itself.

And I kind of, sort of abandoned this comic due to burn out and other things at some point last year. 😅

BUT this year I want to do better with it as I did see an art style and art improvement while fussing with these characters. Also, this might be the kick in the pants I need to return to my writing. As that's been put on hold for way too long.

Families of The Legend of Bolyra - Part 1

The Nerivaris/Lithrina/Likuri Family:

Princess Aerilaya Likuri (nee Lithrina): Aerilaya is a Bi, Polyam, Demiromantic, Demisexual, Magically Disabled 102 Snow Elf Former Slave, Thief, and the Snow Elves' missing Princess. Main Goals: Putting a stop to the Slave Trade, Reuniting with loved ones and her Clan, and putting a stop to her Great-Great Grandparents.

Prince Alosrin Likuri (nee Kuornos): Alosrin is a Straight, Polyam, Demiromantic, Demisexual 102 Shadow Elf Prince and Advisor to ally's Forest Elves', King Ornthalas. He's the husband of Aerilaya and Kimiko. His goals are the same as his wives - putting a stop to the Slave Trade and Droinyon and Ilythyrra. He knows of Fayaris and his antics, but he's more interested in putting a stop to Droinyon and Ilythyrra. As he and Aerilaya know he's nothing more than a pawn. They know he's irredeemable due to his actions and behaviors, but in the same breath they know he's being used and abused.

Kimiko Likuri (nee Rijio): Kimiko is a Bi, Polyam, 202 Zephyr Kitsune Woman who is introduced as an indentured servant/seamstress who's trying to reunite with her missing children after they were taken during an attack on her home in Huisong. She helps Aerilaya and Alosrin take down the Slave Trade.

Exiled Prince Fayaris Lithrina: Fayaris is a 107 Snow Elf Prince who is mentally ill. He's used and abused by Droinyon and Ilythyrra (his Great-Great Grandparents). He was brainwashed by them into thinking his family hates him due to being mentally ill. He's also aroace.

Droinyon and Ilythyrra Nerivaris: Droinyon and Ilythyrra are a Moon Elf couple, King Biryor's Great Grandparents, and Fayaris and Aerilaya's Great-Great Grandparents. Ages unknown. These two where granted immortality by two Ancient Corrupted Goddesses who's magic can still be felt even from their Tree Prison. This was intervened by Morrigan the Goddess of Death and Ophine the Goddess of Life and Fertility, but they could only partially stop it as the magic they were dealing with was far stronger than theirs.

Aerilaya Traith (nee Nerivaris) and Jiuyni Traith: Aerilaya Traith is a Moon Elf Woman who was a know warrior and hero of her time along with her Drow husband, Jiuyni Traith, and Vernmer friend/fellow Healer Warrior, Anureneth Lunarsage. She and her husband, along with their daughter and their son-in-law where murdered by her parents, Droinyon and Ilythyrra. While the Aerilaya and Jiuyni are dead, they do make appearances through storytelling, and in Soul form to assist the MCs.

King Biryor and Queen Merialeth (nee Rocan): King Biryor and Queen Merialeth are a Snow Elf couple, who currently rule over the Snow Elves' Clan. They are Fayaris and Aerilaya's parents and bio grandparents to Nura, Kede and Niraneris.

Nura Likuri (originally Lithrina): Nura is a 10 year old blind Zeniron Snow Elf. She's Aerilaya's daughter.

Kede and Niraneris Likuri: Kede and Niraneris are Alosrin and Aerilaya's twins.

Author's notes on last names: The norm on the Kaeyama is for newlyweds to do a combination of the first initials of their last names. But there are some exceptions to this rule. There are some who take their spouses last name. These reasons can vary, but for many it is to shed their past and move on from said old life (e.g. Aerilaya Nerivaris and Merialeth Rocan.)

*The Legend of Bolyra and The Legend of Huisong has entered the chat*

This happens a lot in these two tales. Especially, TLoH.

People go on about good healthy queer rep but I cannot express how much I want unhealthily devoted queer rep. Raise your lover from the dead no matter the cost. Kill to get them to safety. Trade your soul for theirs. Die to reunite with them. I want gothic hyper-devotion codependent lovers

An introduction:

Hello, good day. This introduction of me (not my story's world) is something I should have done when I first made this account, but completely spaced and wanted to do a worldbuilding intro over this. Anyway, no time like the present.

My name is Elyse or if you want, you can refer to me as Night Fox or Fox. Whatever is the easiest to remember or you are comfortable with. Pronouns are She/They.

I'm just your local Bi, Nonbinary, Disabled Adult Fantasy Writer and Art Doodler.

My current writing projects. My main projects are a loosely connected series. Set in the same world known as the Kaeyama, but has different MCs and Countries in each book. The side stories/spin offs are usually set in the same country as their main counterpart, but as I'm going to explain there's an exception to this rule:

The Legend of Bolyra - This story follows a Magic/Physical Disabled, Bi, Polyamorous Snow Elf Thief, who's a Princess in hiding, named Aerilaya Lithrina (later Likuri - a combination last name of her husband and her wife's). Who stumbles upon a sacred orb belonging to the LifeBlood Tree and a journal from a High Priestess who served Two Twin Goddesses during an investigation to make sure a local greedy noble isn't hoarding extra wealth at a seemingly abandoned temple at the edge of town.

The Legend of Huisong - Follows 3 misfits, who try to find their place in the world, while dealing with one another's dark and potentially dangerous secrets. A Runosu (a humanlike being with Iridescent Glowing Skin, Light Purple Eyed, and Natural Multicolored hair) named Sairi, a Kayosei (a humanoid butterfly person known for having beautiful purple wings) named Murasaki, and a nonbinary, trans Kitsune named Hiraku.

The Legend of Iecruinia - Follows 4 dragonborns who end up on a quest to find their kidnapped parents and the sacred crystals their parents were guarding. Before the floating islands of their lands come crashing down and watch their country being thrown into destructive chaos.

Side stories:

A Winter's Dance (tentative title), a novella that follows three human nobles who live in the oppressive monarchy dictatorship country known as Helina. Thornton Sr, his wheelchair bound cousin with Time Magic Luciana Nightwork, and Fire User Nym Andronicus. This story is a play on Romeo and Juliet (but none of the three MCs dies. Yes, yes, you can boo me and throw your tomatoes. 🤭) This is a prequel back story to these three characters, how they wound up in Bolyra, and started a Thieves' Guild. This also gives insight to the Slave Trade and how people - regardless of status feel about it (I do a lot of characters who are in high positions of power and reject their status at one point or another.)

Short Story Collection 1 and 2 - These collections take place about 100 to 200 years after the main events of TLoB (haven't finished this, but the muse wants semi cozy stories at the moment and wants me to build up some characters that makes appearances in TLoB.)

Art Projects:

I'm currently working on some printable bookmarks and digital (which can be printed too) stickers for my Ko-fi Shop. Also, for funsies and to improve my art skills is doing fan art of video game characters for both Ko-fi and Patreon.

Anyway, that's enough about me. I hope you enjoy my content, if you have any questions about my stories, my art, my Ko-fi or Patreon, please feel free to ask, and I hope to see you all soon.

Sharing my Ko-fi and Patreon links for anyone interested.

Introduction to my fantasy world

Each fantasy book is set on the fictional planet called Kaeyama. Each story is set in different countries with different MCs. 

The Countries are:

Bolyra - Bolyra is the first country and the starting place within the first book of The Legend of Bolyra. This country is rich in history and holds dark secrets that the rest of the Kaeyama inhabitants have long forgotten about. This is a medieval fantasy country with some modern tech, which will be covered in another post.

Huisong - Huisong is a fantasy Asian country that is steeped in tradition, lore, and is the third country to have humanoid animal races. 

Iecruinia - Iecruinia is a powerful dragon country filled with floating islands, lush forests, and mighty mountainsides. The inhabitants are dragons, dragon shifters, and dragonborns.  

Uthal and Nefrea - Uthal is a desert-like country that neighbors, Nefrea, which is a lush jungle-like country. These two countries are always at war with one another over resources.

Helina - A dictatorship country that is shrouded in mystery and is known for the biggest slave trade on the Kaeyama.

Namaru - A felinoid race, who are called Odine, inhabits this desert-like country that is based off Ancient Egypt.  

Moonfield and Cristalhold - These two countries are known for their fridgid temperatures and being the home to largest groups of Gninneagale, a grey-furred bipedal wolf race and Gauroku, a black-furred bipedal wolf race.

Pethaice - This tropical country is known for its fish, sea crystals, and various tropical fruits.

Kisaris - Is an island near Namaru. Not much is known about this place as many have assumed to be abandoned due to disease, war, or environmental problems.

Shiura - A freshwater aquatic country.

I was tagged by @kiraofthewind, thank you for the tag. These games are actually pretty fun. 💕 My words were Soft, Hollow, Terror, Breeze, and Felt

Since I have multiple projects, this might range between them as each WIP is different. Will mention which WIP is which in the snippets. Anyway! On with snippets.

Soft - Snippet from The Legend of Bolyra

Slumping to the ground to sit against the alley of the hideout. Fingertips settled on the coin pouch. Crammed with silver obsidian crown coins from this morning’s perfume sales and per usual, Alosrin, who didn’t recognise her for unknown reasons, nearly cleared out her stock. A soft clunk rang from her coin purse. 

Hollow - Snippet from The Legend of Bolyra

“Where are you, Aerilaya?” He said before leaving the room to get some air via a secret passageway that headed towards Lunenvern Lake for emergency purposes. Each step was painful to take, but Alosrin ignored it as he slipped through a hollowed out panel and headed towards the base of the Taiga Mountains. The cool night air hit his face as soon as he stepped out from the cave and headed towards the lake. 

Terror - Snippet from The Legend of Bolyra

“Anyway, what’s up? Night terrors? My idiot son is doing something to you, Kailu, or someone else again?” He knew his kid needed several smacks upside the head to get through, you don’t torment nor steal from the people you work with. 

Breeze - Snippet from The Legend of Bolyra

“It isn’t any of my business, but what are you doing here? I know it isn’t to shoot the breeze with some random dumb mortal teen.” Ner questioned as the God of Light showed one of the White Stag Antler.

Felt - Snippet from a Short Story Collection

“Before you go.” Niraneris said as Mirtil’s Nebula Frost Dragon named Kiin landed to pick up xyr companion. “I have to ask. Have you ever told my brother how you felt about him?”

Anyone can participate, feel free! I'm tagging @amarajlynn @allenson-armory and @author-audrey-simmons if they want to play. Your words BLIND, START, AUTUMN/FALL, SNOW, and LIGHT

WIP Word Search Tag Game

I was tagged by @rachaellawrites, and thank you for the tag! I love these kinds of games <3 My words were dark, rain, simmer, smoke, and frame

I will use words from GOOD THYME WITH BAD COMPANY, or whatever this book eventually gets titled. It was originally going to be a single book, but now this damn thing has turned into a trilogy siiigh. Oh, but I love it so much, I could write about these characters and their shenanigans forever. The current title works best for the third book, and I'm currently only on the first, so the snippets here will inevitably be in a book with a different title.

DARK

You fled into the sunrise, and I into the sunset. Have you been embraced by warmth and light yet? I have sentenced myself to writhe in the cold and dark.

RAIN

Immediately behind her chair was the great clock, its many gears forever buzzing. The evening was still early; the guests had plenty of time to be rowdy yet. The weather calendar hung on the wall next to the clock. It would rain tomorrow, bringing in more guests seeking to stay warm by the fire.

SIMMER

Dinner hours had just started and the common room was full of guests, merchants and townsfolk alike, bumping elbows, sharing laughs, enjoying their ale together. The scent of Parsnips’s Family Stew—filled with parsnips, shallots, onions, and turnips—wafted through the room, enticing all who were enveloped in its aroma. The guests had filled their bowls and taken their seats at the tables, so Shallot could take the boy to the hearth, where the pot simmered over the flames, without fear of being interrupted.

SMOKE

Onion and Beans came through the common room entrance. The bartender carried his pipe of azurhizome powder, blue smoke trailing in his wake. “Thought I heard you hollering out here,” Onion said, her eyes on the hand as it flailed about in its prison. “What in the dominion is that?”

FRAME

Shallot clutched the net, stepped onto the balcony, and looked down. There were two naked kids—boys from a quick glance—skin so pale they practically glowed in the ringslight. They had extinguished the flames on their wrists to stay hidden in the darkness, but Aloutia’s rings and moons shone enough light to illuminate their pallid, fragile frames. “Two boys,” Shallot said as she hefted herself upon the balustrade. “Get the other one!”

Anyone who wants to participate, feel free! I'm also going to tag @valeriestorm, @nightfoxproductions726, and @purviswrites if they want to play. Your words are SOFT, HOLLOW, TERROR, BREEZE, and FELT

The Healers’ Association, Healers’ Guild, and Ophine’s Sanctuaries

The Healers’ Association:

The Healers’ Association was originally a collaboration between Anise the Goddess of Lands, Ophine the Goddess of Fertility, Terinea the Goddess of Wellbeing, Auna the Goddess of Waters, Dinir the God of Light, and Morrigan the Goddess of Death. This group was created during the Twin Goddesses, Aletha, and Nephele, wars as innocent lives were being lost at a rapid rate and putting stress on the Afterlife and Resurrection Realms as well as Morrigan and the other Death Deities of the time.  

During this time the original healers of the old world were the Priests or Priestesses of Anise, Ophine, Terinea, Auna, and Dinir. Over time as they trained others who had enhanced Light Abilities, the Healers’ Association flourished across Bolyra and to the rest of the countries who were in need.

In modern times, the Healers’ Association doesn’t train people anymore since the Healers’ Guild was founded. But the function is still the same as it was in old times - keep an eye on those in need during disasters and the like. 

The Healers’ Guild:

The Healers’ Guild was founded by five demigoddesses:

Aonani, a Zeniron Demigoddess, Dinir the God of Light’s daughter

Persephone, a Lands Demigoddess, Anise the Goddess of Lands’ daughter

Renata, a Fertility Demigoddess, Ophine the Goddess of Fertility’s daughter

Ninurta, a Wellbeing Demigoddess, Terinea the Goddess of Wellbeing’s daughter

Zarya, a Water Demigoddess, Auna the Goddess of Water’s daughter

These Demigoddesses created the Healers’ Guild to ease pressure off the Association and the Gods and Goddesses as both were stretched thin at the time from the fighting. After the Twin Goddesses were sealed, the Association turned their focus on assisting the various countries and monitored potential problems/threats to life. The Healers’ Guild has two functions - healing and training those who want to become Healers, Head Healers, or Grand Healers.    

There are 6th Healer Crosses/Branches. Each Branch specializes in certain areas. The 5th and 6th Branches are exclusive to one race and the other is currently defunct until towards the end of The Legend of Bolyra and is revived. 

Green Crosses Represents - Animal Healers and Anise the Goddess of Lands

Pink Crosses Represents - Midwife Healers and Ophine the Goddess of Fertility

Purple Crosses Represents - Healers (human/humanoid doctors) and Terinea the Goddess of Wellbeing

Dark Blue Crosses Represents - Aquatic Healers and Auna the Goddess of Waters

Gold Crosses Represents - Zeniron Healers and Dinir the God of Light

Turquoise Crosses Represents - Mental Health Healers aka Therapists and Terinea the Goddess of Wellbeing. This branch was around from the time of the Healers’ Guild inception, but over time as more and more severe cases became apparent; Terinea took over and causing this branch to quietly be forgotten until recent events.

There are also spirit animals and flowers who correspond with these branches as well. 

Animal Healers - The Barn and Snowy Owls 

Midwife Healers - The Lily Stargazer 

Healers (human/humanoid Healers) and Mental Health Healers - The Butterfly

Aquatic Healers - The Water Lily

These animals and flowers are usually in the center of the cross to show 'proof' that they are official Healers, Head Healers, and Grand Healers. Healers who do not have these emblems signal that they are in training.

Ophine’s Sanctuaries

While the Goddess of Fertility’s Churches and Sanctuaries are separate from the Healers’ Association, they are run by the Association, and function as a place for those in need. These places are for those struggling to find work and act as adoption/safe havens for abandoned children or children who cannot be looked after or cared for. The second option of this statement rarely occurs unless someone is in dire straits or there is a safety concern regarding the child, which usually ends up being a safety concern for either the father or mother and child. Even then these places do what they can to keep families together.

Writing Tag Game

I was tagged in a Writing Tag Game by @kiraofthewind and I was given silver, terror, smile, and bottle for my word searches.

These snippets will be from The Legend of Bolyra.

Silver:

When Kailu entered the room, he went over to his bag, and pulled out a beautifully crafted white silver ring adorned with rare gems from the Shimmermore Mines before he flopped onto the bed. Old memories filled his mind as he stared at the ring. 

“I hope you’re safe, Lilac, and I’m sorry.” He whispered as he set the ring on the nightstand next to him along with the gold burnished earring, a small round gold hair clip, and his blue scarf before he kicked off his boots and slowly drifted asleep. 

Terror:

A scream of terror and pleading filled the corridor of the temple as Aerilaya ran with the weapons she’d borrowed. “Please stop this…” Merialeth pleaded. “All they’ll do is betray you, regardless if you are a god, a Vernmer, Snow Elf, or Moon Elf. The twin Goddesses don’t care!” Another shrill of pain came as strange chanting started. 

A thick, scarlet light could be seen as she grew closer. “No… not that. Not the Illasi Consius spell.” Aerilaya felt her heart race when she recognized the glow of the spell and the chant.

Smile:

“What was your home like?” Nura asked as Aerilaya let out a thoughtful sigh as she removed her pendants. The chains clinked together which alerted Nura to their removal. “Necklaces?” The blind child questioned as Aerilaya smiled and nodded. “Yes. They are important items to me. They were both made by my father, King Biryor, for my mother, Queen Merialeth, and I. One was for my 8th birthday and the other for my parents 100th wedding anniversary.” She felt a wave of emotions wash over her. 

Bottle:

Aerilaya flipped open the bag and pulled out the drug the Forest Elf Healer gave her. Grabbing two silver-looking pills and the water. Aerilaya hesitated for a moment before taking them. Feeling a chill running down her spine, she shook as her body felt back to normal. Once things had adjusted she threw on her clothes, grabbed her Sword, and Throwing Knives before heading out the door leaving behind a confused Kailu as thunder crashed. He started to run after he noticed she was back to full health, but stopped when the glass pill bottle shimmer in the dim light as lightning flashed. When he grabbed the bottle he looked it over to find a label in caps saying MITHRIL. 

“Mithril? How did she get a hold of this? I thought this addictive junk was banned?” Kailu shook his head while putting the bottle back before leaving to catch up with Aerilaya.

Tagging: @authorandreamariejohnson and @audasaurus-rex-creates but anyone can join in.

Now onto the excerpts:

From The Legend of Bolyra: Observe

“According to Nym, he noticed you took a journal and an emerald green crystal looking orb. What was that all about?” Thornton Sr mused as he attempted to get his mind off his idiot son. While stroking his chin, questions flowed.

“Heh, despite him getting into it with Thornton Jr. He still managed to observe what I was doing. Anyway, I came across the Forest Core.” Aerilaya said as Thornton Sr let out a groan.

N/A: hitherto

From The Legend of Bolyra: Destruction and Death (this is probably cheating, but this is how the prompt went. 😅)

“My sisters were actively looking for my children and I when we were taken after the destruction of our childhood home, the death of our Ren and Mothers, along with the death of my husband. I should say my sister, Asami, was doing most of the work since she has the ability to command the God of Death’s Messenger Butterflies.” Kimiko said with a hint of sadness in her voice. He could tell she was going to break at any moment.

From The Legend of Huisong - Throughout

How could she? Their dearest friend had just admitted to working for one of the worst criminals in the land, who was second to the Emperor and Empress. Sairi let out a sigh as her mind screamed at her to get back home, but what was the point? Lord Amida was going to be upset with her. His minions were going to do whatever to her throughout the day for not showing up on time. 

This was a fun little prompt. Thank you for the tag.

Night

She spotted her father before he saw her. Wang Kun had driven his old car—the one that had his contracting company’s outdated logo on the side, just as glaringly red as she remembered. He got out of the car to help her put her things in the back. In turn, she slid into the stuffy cabin whose worn leather seats had long since absorbed the smell of old cigarettes and felt as if she was in high school again. Most of the time, she would study late into the night in the library and her dad would swing by to pick her up on his way home from work, handing her a lollipop or a stick of gum that her mother would never know about. In the same vein, Wang Kun would smoke in the car and blow puffs of white out the open window.

Fright

N/A :(

Sight

She opened her mouth to say something, anything to break the silence, but a familiar clacking noise got there first. The door to the garage slammed open, revealing Yaling with two overflowing grocery bags in her hands. She stopped short when she caught sight of what was happening in her kitchen: her daughter and the man she hoped to be her daughter’s suitor standing on opposite sides of the table. Mason was as close to tears as he had ever been, and Ruby was lost at sea. It was probably the last thing on Earth her mother wanted to see.

“Oh,” was what came out of Yaling’s mouth. Then: “Huo guo tonight?”

Light

“Ruqing-ah!” Yaling bellowed over the cacophony of freeway traffic. Even if Ruby was expecting it, she still jumped at the sound of her Mandarin name. Her originally light headache suddenly drove its elbow into her skull at the frenetic string of tones and syllables that followed. “Meimei just told me that you lost your job again. What did you do this time! Did you remember to compliment your manager every day like I told you! And bring them food; people love food! Did you remember?”

A pause, followed by a colorful Mandarin curse at what was most likely a BMW not using its blinker.

Bite

“I’m saving your career,” Ruby retorted. “You’re going to drop those and dent them, and then your clientele will never buy from you again.”

“See that, you do care!”

“Shut up.”

As Adi went back to rifling through the box, though, Ruby stared at a mosquito bite on his back and thought she might have made a mistake. While he still had some odd ideas, Adi Prinslow certainly didn’t seem very vacant at all.

Flood

N/A :(

Answers

It had turned him on his head. She’d seen the look on his face, probably assuming that it was some trivial response to the argument, but it wasn’t just that. It was an upending of everything he knew to be true, which was really only one thing: that Ruby Wang had the answers. She was the only person who had ever really known him, and the one person he thought might be able to fix all of…this.

Nothing

With that ring on his finger, he would have married the most beautiful, kind, gentle woman he’d ever met. The thought should have made him happy. After all, he’d never regretted being with her, even now. Sometimes, when he was alone, he reminisced over their cozy before-work mornings, her in her satin white pajamas, swirling hot cocoa with a peppermint stick while he scrambled his eggs with salsa. They chatted about anything and everything—work, shows, some article one of them had stumbled on the night before. Mason wanted nothing but happiness for her until the end of his days.

Pass

“Well, maybe I didn’t roll, but I did have to walk. And then I had to carry you all the way back up because you said you were too scraped up to use your feet.”

“I was.”

“I know, I know.” He laughed. “You told me.”

“At any rate, it wouldn’t have happened if those idiots hadn’t dared me to do it. I was already fully prepared to go home. I had my bus pass ready. But then Michael Ferrara of all people had to say that my legs were too fucking short to run up those stairs in 10 minutes.”

“He never said you had to kill yourself trying. You hate exercise.”

“I hate being doubted,” Ruby snapped.

Last Line Tag

Thank you for the tag @gracehosborn

In all honesty, I haven't written much on The Legend of Bolyra, The Legend of Huisong, or any of my short story collections in a while. I've been busy with art things, recovering from burn out, and other things that affected me last year. 😅

But the last line I wrote in what is dubbed Sparktember Document was:

Before Mirtil could utter a word Enhis started wailing on him with a combination of Frost Magic and fists.

Maybe this along with the comic I'm revamping, it'll get me back to my stories.

Tagging: @kiraofthewind @amarajlynn and @author-audrey-simmons but anyone can play along!

Last Line Tag

Thanks to @rachaellawrites for the tag!

I haven’t actually written anything substantial for The American Icarus: Volume I as I’ve been busy fleshing out outlines and doing research for later in the series, but here’s the last line I wrote:

“Found rope!”

That’s not all exciting but maybe this’ll motivate me to go write 😂

Awesome update and memes, @rosantha-tindall

As for me, I keep on getting hit with roadblocks, and it's been irking the hell out of me.

What I was working on before this nonsense was my Sparktember file (I really do need to get a better name for this). I was adding stories that weren't seen in the original drafts and with one story I'm trying *not* to retcon a tie-in short story. So, there's a lot of moving parts. But enough of this. Let's introduce these characters, shall we?

Character introductions, these characters are in my main project - The Legend of Bolyra - but as kids. So, these side stories are them as adults. Because I want to develop them more and write some cozy stuff:

Mirtil - He's a Snow Elf and Head Royal Captain of the Snow Elves' Army. He's also Prince Kede's love interest (which is one sided at the moment. Kede is... how you say... Dense in the romance department) and childhood friend of Niraneris and Kede.

Prince Kede - In the Sparktember story he's mainly mentioned and used as a talking point between Mirtil, Niraneris, Sariandi, and Loreleia. He along with Niraneris are the twin son and daughter of Aerilaya and Alosrin.

Princess Niraneris - She, along with her twin brother are a unique Elven race known as Twilight Elves. Despite her title of Princess, she works at the Healers' Guild with her girlfriends, Sariandi and Loreleia as a Trauma Healer. She's also known for creating Rune powered machines from Ancient Dwarven texts Kailu recovered during his travels with Aerilaya, Alosrin, and Kimiko.

Sariandi - She's a Snow Elf Trauma Healer and one of Niraneris girlfriends. She along with Niraneris are referred to as the 'Soothers' as ease pain with a combination of Frost and Shadow Magic.

Loreleia - She's a Shadow Forest Elf Trauma Healer and is known in Healers' Guild for her unique healing abilities with her Shadow and Nature Magic Abilities. She's also Niraneris and Sariandi's girlfriend. The three of them are childhood friends.

If you see this, tell me about your book

Whether it's a published book, a wip, or just something you're imagining for now, I want to hear about it! Share some art, too, if you have some!

Tagging a few people who I don't think would mind, but lemme know if you don't want to be tagged in the future! Fyi, to anyone seeing this, you can always tag me <3
