Character sketch.....
My brother bought a Dynasty Warrior 5 game for PS2 so I have been having fun playing that game. Its a game based on the history of the three kingdoms in China or famously known as Romance of The Three Kingdoms. Who says history is boring?

Here a sketch of a character for the Velzen empire. It's Matt aka Poo 62. I think Matt is a suitable name for this character. I did draw other of my friends that would be in the story but not Poo 62 so here it is. Matt is a Locomotive Knight and his left hand is a mechanical arm that use steam power, so when using power from it causes smoke to come out just like those Super Locomotive.

   Long day out
Ah, I have been inactive in quite a while, 2 months I think. First of all I wanted to apologize for not being here for a very long time (well if you have been waiting for me to write something here that is, others might not care much heh).

Once in a while its better to take the time off for something, since I'm in the final year of studying in university, I need to focus more on my study. Its the important time in my life I think, since after this I will go on into the world of business or something like that, well I hope its business since its related much with the course that I'm taking. It's also hard for me to find time to draw, I did manage to do some though but not many.

That means I will no longer be drawing eh...

Nah whatever I will be I will never stop drawing and getting into business is one step closer in achieving my artistic career and I can't tell you the plan because its evil *grin*

Well, now that I have already finished with my final examination for this semester and having 2 month of holiday I'm able to spend time on the Otaku.

I also changed the colour for my journal, I think orange and yellow is quite a nice choice. What do you guys think about it?

If some of you guys thought I have already leave this site....all I can say is too bad, I'm still here!

Maybe I'll post some of my artwork another day.

Oh yeah...

   Well.........
I guess people already know with the incidents that happened last year. Never expect the tsunami would reach the Malaysian beach this is the first to happen. Lucky for me we do not live near the beach area but accidents can happen anywhere... I feel pity to people who lost their family in the incident.

Let’s not go more into that ok….

Hmmm, the reason I didn't write anything here is because I didn't paid my internet bill so that's why I couldn't connect to the internet. Sorry if I keep anybody worried. Heh.

Mm... I guess we continue with the story

Eve of The Eternals
Chapter 22: Misunderstanding

Felimor and Miene encountered a ronin from the country of Ivaseal named Kataryu. Somehow Kataryu think what the Elvennia army is doing in the city of Hillew is wrong. With the intention from letting the Elvennian starting a war she attacked the soldier with the intention that the army would change their mind. Felimor and Miene doesn't agree with what Kataryu are doing so they fought against her.

The night in the city filled with the sounds of swords and spears clashing. The three have been fighting for quite a while . "Huff..huff, I think we have fought for hours and still she have the strenght to resist both of us. Hey Felimor what actually is a Ronin?" asked Miene who already looking tired.

"They are excellent warrior called Samurai who no longer have a master." Felimor explained briefly. "Whaat.. that's all?" Miene seems unsatisfied with Felimor's reply. A slash coming towards Miene and quickly she defend herself with the spear. "You still have time to talk, concentrate on the fighting!" Kataryu pushed her Katana towards Miene. Miene kicked Kataryu in the stomach which Kataryu jumped back in pain, with lightning speed Miene changed into her short bow and fired multiple arrows. "Take this! Arrow storm!" Miene hands moving fast firing 5 arrows in one shot repeatedly towards Kataryu.

Kataryu manage to evade and deflect the arrows using her double Katana. After the arrow attacks ended Miene quickly equip back her spear and initiate a jump and perform the Viemphor earth smasher towards Kataryu. Knowing an attack coming from the sky Kataryu perform a spin holding her two katana horizantally and make a quick upward slash to counter the attack.


Miene was pushed back by the defense which is quickly supported by Felimor who appeared behind Kataryu and launched multiple strike towards her. The two katana crossed with the daggers, then both of them jumped back and maintain their stance."Somehow after a while fighting you, your style seems familiar.."Kataryu looking at Felimor and from the expression she seems wanted explaination on it. "Well seems you quite attentive to my fighting style. I have to admit it I did learn the way of spying from the east where you come from. The art of shadow assassin or the ninjitsu as I would call so its no surprise if you find it familiar." Kataryu seems quite surprised and impresed by the same hearing the information.

“Interesting...Do you know why I don’t like having you and your army here?” Kataryu continues with her question. “Yeah, that brings me the question? Why are you so worked up on the Elvennia army and you are not even the resident of Hillew?” Miene positioned herself near Felimor and hold her spear ready for any oncoming attack from Kataryu. Kataryu sighed, then continues “Because I don’t want people to experience what had happened to me, I lost my country and my good friend because our town is attacked by outsiders and I don’t want you to do these to the people of Calcaem.” Upon hearing this Felimor started to laugh, Miene and Kataryu were surprised at his behavior. “That is funny, you are teaching me, who lost his fiancé and town from the Calcaem and you want to stop it from happenning? It’s already happening here, it’s the reason why the Elvennia soldiers are here to free the country under Calcaem control and also to free my town and meet with my love again.”

“Whaaaat! What! What! What! You’re already engaged? I thought nobody would actually wants to marry you.” Miene was very surprised upon hearing that Felimor have a fiancé in his hometown. “Hey that doesn’t sound even one bit nice.” Felimor shakes his head hearing Miene’s comment. Kataryu who was quiet for a while then smiled “I guess I was wrong. I made my own judgment towards you people. Please, forgive me for the misunderstanding, I have fought with the wrong people.” Felimor was happy that Kataryu realized her mistake but Miene still seems unhappy with it. “What! After all you did to the soldier you expect us to forgive you? If it were simple to solve problem with apology then there would be no need for war! Let me slap you a couple of time and then apologize if it is so simple to apologize! Come on let’s mmphhmphhhhhh!” Felimor quickly covers Miene mouth with his hand. “I’m sorry for her rude behavior, she’s always like this.”


“Hmm, I guess I should do something to make up to my mistake. How about I offer you my service in the Elvennia army. As you have seen I’m quite a good fighter and this might also help me in finding my friend.” Felimor who is still covering Miene mouth was very pleased upon hearing this while Miene is struggling to let herself free from Felimor’s hand. “That is very good. The queen would be happy if she hears about this. If you don’t mind would you come with us to meet the queen.” Felimor then let go of Miene letting her continue with her complaints and guided Kataryu to the camp.

Ok now, I have a question do you like my story with illustration or without illustration?

   Story continues...
I know I'm slow in writing my story, ah what the heck, I have started and I should finish this one.

Eve of The Eternals
Chapter 21: Kataryu

And so after few months of voyage the elvennian troops finally reached the city of Hillew, where the Raynear first arrived during her journey. Since there is no Calaem soldiers in the city. The city quickly falls under Elvennia control.

The people there seems to support Elvennia army seeing that they would gain better living condition under Elvennia control. And so the city becomes the first base for the Elvennian force. The people there are recruited to become soldiers and the army strenght increased.

Few days later, rumors about patrols being attacked by an unknown warrior is being heard among the soldiers of Elvennia. Every night, soldiers in charge of doing patrol are being attacked, and from the rumor the attacker is said to be a woman and use a wierd long sword to attack them.

Felimor and Miene decided to volunteer doing the patrol so that they can catch the person who is responsible for attacking the patrols. Vinedia agreed with their decision and asks them to capture the enemy alive.

So night came and Felimor walked together with Miene around the city. The path leading to various path in the city was quiet. The only living thing that could be seen moving are only animals sucha s cats and dogs. after a while Miene started to complaint "Hmm, I'm starting to feel sleepy, I think its just a hoax! Those soldiers must be drunk that they see imagunary things.."

"Hey we promise to do the patrolling, we need to patrol this city until the morning." Felimor told Miene to continue with the job.

"But I'm tired! I wanna go to sleep and this is sooo booring!" Miene seems can't stop whining.

Miene wanted to continue with her whinning but Felimor quickly put his hand on Miene's mouth. "Shhh, I saw a figure moving on the roofs." They both then keep quiet for a while. Felimor slowly takes out his twin daggers and Miene prepares her spear.

Suddenly something coming fast from the roof towards them with sword aimed towards the two general. Felimor and Miene jumped to evade the attack, the attackers landed on the spot where Felimor and Miene was standing and they could see the large crack on the road caused by the attack.

The figure which is holding the sword in sitting position then stands up. Felimor and Miene could see clearly the person who have been attacking the soldiers who have been patroling at night.

"So, the rumor was true..." Miene aimed her spear at the person.

"......."

"So it's really the woman they have been talking about, and from the weapon I could see you are not a native here." saod Felimor to the woman.

The woman quickly pulled out her other sword and quickly rushed towards Felimor and try to slash Felimor. He managed to defend himself by using his twin daggers to block the attack. The woman then focus her attacks on the side which Felimor manages to block again and again.

"Dancing Daggers" quickly Felimor side step to the left of the woman and initiate a fast dagger attack which consist of many foward slash and ended with him throwing the dagger. The attacker manage to block the attack and slashed away the dagger that is thrown towards her.

Then Miene came up from behind preparing to strike the attacker. "Who are you actually and what are you doing here?" Miene demands and answer from the attacker. The attack manage to hit the woman but the she quickly performed a whirlwind attack and pushed Miene towards the wall.

"I am Kataryu of Ivaseal, or should I say a ronin from Ivaseal. You dare to come here to start a war in this land. I would now allow it and I wish that you will take the army back to where you all belong!"

"I'm sorry, we will not be going home. We are here to defeat the Calcaem and nothing could make us go back until we defeat the nation." Felimor showing disagreement towards Kataryu.

"So you desire to start a war that will bring suffering to the people, I'll have no choice then except to eliminate you and then your leader." Kataryu prepare her double Katana and starts to attack Felimor and Miene."Prepare to die!"

Hmm as usual I end it here. See ya!

   Back again....into the university....
Yeah I haven't been here for quite a while.. Well lazy me.

University starts two weeks ago and I'm not quite in the mood to write something here. Yeah the registration and those 'its our job to make you suffer a little each time a new semester starts..' kind of thingie really makes me tired.

Since I'm of the Otaku for quite a while I have been spending my time on photoshop. I don't learn anything new this month so theres a little progress in term of improvements. Well new year is coming, hope that I would improve greatly that year.

I have found out Onoki is no longer in the Otaku. Its quite sad.. He did manage to contact me in Deviantart and he's a member there. Right now he's trying to become an artist. Good for him, and hope he would turned out a great one, we never know. This world is filled with magics ^_^

There was a comoic fiesta, last weekend and I went there with my brother. It was a first time experience for me and I felt quite good. There are lots of underground anime and comic artist who is really good and some of them are younger than me. There was cosplay too, I always thought of cosplaying is wierd. That is until you meet the real one you really have to get a picture with them.

Looking at those artist and their friends really envy me. Its not that I envy thier ability to draw good manga or anime, its the envy of having friends that shares the same interest. I'm glad my brother is there to keep me company, but standing there watching those people share their ideas on drawings, and exchnage tips makes me kind of sad, I have nobody to talk too about the love of drawing...

I have my brother of course but he is not a manga artist.

Well, its not that bad, looking at the bright side I do this alone and I could keep up until this level without a proper guidance. I did have friend who is good at drawing and he teaches me how to actually use photoshop, thanks to him my characters are now in colours!

That is what I like in having friends that share the same love for drawing, you improve two times faster than working alone. Pity that guy live far away from me. So I'm alone again.

But that doesn't mean I should give up on drawing would I? Heh.

Nevah!

Ok that's my rant for now. Man I kinda feel a lot better now. Oh by the way I submited a new art. Do please have a look at it if you're interested. Yep time to go again. It might be a while till we meet again!

C'ya!*Runs away*

Umm....
I'm kinda out on things to say... Hmm let's see... Mmm...Hmm...Gaah!

Ok, story time!

Eve of The Eternals
Part 20:Sea Battle

The ships have been on the sea for three days. During this time soldiers spent their time by training, playing games, talking and other thing that they could think of to keep themselves busy. Vinedia, Gelweintall and Miene on board the same ship, while Felimor is on the ship that carries the Elvennia soldiers which comes from Leintein and Hacion with the Dargunons and the Heavy Armored units. Hacion was standing at the ship front deck when he saw something coming out from the sea. ”Could it be …” Hacion starts to wonders. Then quickly with his loud dragon voice he shouted to the ship where Vinedia was on. “Commander Raynear! A sea monster is approaching your ship!”

“Quick, prepare your bow and arrows!” Gelweintall quickly ordered the soldiers. After Gelweintall finished giving his order, large monster as large as two ships appeared before them showing its teeth, a sign that it will attack. “The ships aren’t built for battles, we have no equipment to actually fight it..” Felimor feeling worried of the situation. Galcalivern also came out to see what the ruckus is all about and when he saw the monster, he looked directly at the monster and looked at the captain of the ship where he is. “How I hate say it, I just have to say it. We are dead!” The captain put his two hands on his cheeks and the other passenger on board also did the same including Galcalivern and they all shouted loudly. “Nooo!!!”

“Will you guys on the last ship shut up! I will take care of this, just watch!” Shouted Miene when she heard the loud no shouting from the ship behind theirs while preparing her spear and bow. Vinedia runs down to where the horse are kept and come out on the ship riding Vilvendi. “Huh, what are you doing riding your horse on the ship, its silly to fight against a monster riding a horse on a ship.” Gelweintall looking at Vinedia weirdly. Vinedia didn’t say anything to Gelweintall instead she rushed to the front of the ship and jumping into the sea with her horse! “Queen Raynear!” shouted everyone.

Gelweintall quickly runs to the place where Vinedia jumped quickly removing his armor and intend to jump into the sea to save Vinedia when someone quickly grabbed his back. “No need to rush. Look.” Hacion pointed to an object on the sea. Gelweintall can’t believe his eyes, so are the other soldiers who saw it. Vinedia was riding her horse towards the monster on the sea! “Wow, that is so awesome! Queen Raynear can float on sea!” Miene shouted cheering for Vinedia. “Its that weird power again…” Gelweintall muttered. “It’s the power of the sea, it seems the Eternals have given her the power to carry a great task.” Hacion explained to Gelweintall. Miene who saw Hacion on the ship wondered how did Hacion get on their ship since Hacion was riding in different ship when they were sailing on the sea. Hacion smiled, “The Mother Dragon had created us to have the ability to swim in deep seas like our cousin the sea dragons.” Holding his enormous war hammer, he then jumped into the sea to join Vinedia to fight against the sea monster.

The monster is advancing towards one of the ship when suddenly a woman riding a horse appeared in front of it. Vinedia seems determined to stop it from attacking the ships. The monster roared seeing that someone is trying to stop it from wreaking havoc on the Elvennian fleet. It jumps out from the sea towards Vinedia. A blue glowing symbol then appeared on Vinedia’s forehead, then and image appeared in her mind. An image of water rushing at high speed. Quickly, she raised her hand then points it forward to the monster, “Sea cannon....” With the command water burst out from the sea shooting out like a cannon towards the monster. The monster falls back into the sea before it manages to hit Vinedia from the jump. It roared in pain then rushed towards Vinedia . Before it could reach Vinedia, something came flying out from the sea and hit the monster on the head pushing it into the sea. “Hacion!”

Seeing that arrows doesn’t do any harm to the monster, Gelweintall ordered the soldiers to stop firing. Gelweintall thinks that they would waste ammunition for the battle ahead and also worried that it would hit Vinedia and Hacion. He just hope that Vinedia and Hacion could defeat the monster. The monster rise again and sends a giant wave towards Vinedia and Hacion. The wave hit Vinedia and Hacion and also damages the ships behind them. Even though Vinedia did not fall from the horse, the impact and the strong pressure gives her body a very painful feeling. Still Vinedia maintains her fighting position and starts to make a move for the next attack. “Commander Raynear, I will go underwater and attack it from below and when I give the signal focus all your power on its head” Hacion shares his plan with Vinedia. Vinedia just nodded, somehow she still have doubt about Hacion’s ability since it is nearly impossible to attack from underwater with such a heavy giant war hammer that he is carrying.

Vinedia makes a lot of movement with her horse to confuse the monsterand she also launches the sea cannon attacks to weaken the monster. The monster still refuses to give up continues to wreck havoc by launching more waves. The damage of the ships are starting to get worse, a few more of the monster attacks and most of the ships will have a high chance of sinking. Vinedia wondered what have happened to Hacion since he did not appear for quite a while from the sea. The monster was about to launch another wave attack and Vinedia who have been waiting for Hacion to attack the monster doesn’t know what to do. Shoutings and screamings can be heard from the ships, Vinedia starts to get worried, Gelweintall just closed his eyes thinking its over. Miene just kept quiet watching the monster preparing to launch its attack. Felimor ordered his men to prepare in abandoning the ship.

Suddenly the monster seemed to stop, it eyes opened wide; from its face Vinedia could see that the monster somehow is in pain. Then a large burst of water came out under the place where the monster is floating sending the monster flying, from it appears Hacion who just smiled watching the monster in the sky. The monster is about to fall back into the sea and Hacion quickly gives the signal for Vinedia to attack. “Now commander, aim for the head!”. “Vilvendi!” Vilvendi who seems to understands vinedia quickly charged forward . Vinedia looks up to the sky waiting for the right moment to attack. When she saw her chance she quickly jumped from Vilvendi. Raising her sword which releases a bright light which the swords breaks into tiny pieces of light and reassembled again to reveal Fairlandis, its true form. “…Destroy! Rayclimber!” Upon reaching the monster’s head Vinedia focus her energy in swinging the sword towards the creature’s face. The impact creates an explosion, Vinedia continues to slash the monster swinging her sword upward each time, one hit! Two hit! Three hit! For hit! Fifteen hit! With each hit the monster is again send back to the sky. As the name implies Vinedia attack is gracefully done and the attack seems as she is trying to climbs the sky. The monster fell back into the sea, never to come out again.

Vinedia falls and stands up on the sea. Her serious looks are now replaced with a cheerful smile. She raised her sword as a sign of victory which is celebrated with cheers and whistling from the soldiers on the ship. Hacion who is a little bit farther from Vinedia lets out a simple smile watching Vinedia from far, he then swims back to his ship. The sea monster that tries to attack the ships to the north continent have been defeated and the ships continues its journey in creating a whole new empire…

The main character fighting the giant Typhoon(One of the greatest monster in Greek myth)
'When the Typhoon comes, the mountains will spread open letting out the fiery flame of anger to the world outside, the dark clouds gather closing the clear sky cheering roars of thunders for the great Typhoon, flowers and grass withers away so the land could breaks open and demands the blood of the fool who stands in front of Typhoon. Prepare O' foolish warrior, Typhoon have come to crush you till your meat and your bones becomes blood.'


The character with his allies.


Again with his master, this time she have grown up. The master might be around the age of 18 or 20.


With his two powerful swords, the Spirits sword Raynear and the Gear sword Valhauken. A little bit of magic and enemies on the background.


Meeting the Dragon. "Excuse me, I was ordered by my master to slay a dragon that have been terrorizing the people here. Have you seen one around here?" Of course the character is also a little bit dumb..

Sorry for the quality of the pic, since its just a sketches there are lots of dirty marks on the pages. Hmm I wonder which one will I choose to be coloured...

   Wohohaha
On the 14th of November it was the Hari Raya Celebration which is celebrated by the Malaysians. I have to go back to my Grandmothers house since all the family members, my uncle my aunts and all of my cousins around the country will be gathering there to celebrate raya and it’s a tradition to ‘balik kampung’ (go back home to your grandparents or parents place) . SO I was not here for quite sometime.

A little bit info on Hari Raya
Celebrated by the Muslims signifies the end of the fasting season of Ramadan for a month. The celebration is determined by sighting of the new moon. This is the most significant celebration for the Muslims. Muslims starts the day by congregating in the mosques early in the morning to perform Hari Raya Puasa prayers followed by visits to the graves of the departed.
This festive occasion is greeted with great joy, the young will ask for forgiveness from their elders and everyone will put on new clothes. Open house or invitation for relatives and friends to come to their house is practised. Plenty of traditional Malay delicacies are served during this festive season. Houses are thoroughly cleaned and decorated with the lighting of oil lamps to welcome the angels which is believed to be visiting the earth during the seven days preceding the festivall. The celebration lasts for a month which the celebration is concentrated in the first three days.
Also childrens are given money by adults during Hari Raya by their families and also by the people whose house is visited by them. Its kinda like Halloween where you said ‘tricks or treats’ but instead of getting candies or chocolates, children gets money instead. A reason why children loves the Raya celebration.

Now, onto my art blabber

Ok I did say on the last post that I wanted to draw one of my old character, of course I did it and I did quite a lot of sketches of how I want to actually draw it. I will try to put some of it on the site tomorrow (Just hope the scanners working..)

Ok now I will go to tell my story but before that this is some site from my fellow Malaysians worth a visit. Please try and look at the sites. I promise you that you won’t be disappointed!

shadabanime.net

Since it have been quite a long time I hadn’t write any story, I think its time for me to put it up, so let us continue with the story.


Eve of The Eternals
Part 19: Time to move out!

So its story time I guess..

After the war with the Calcaem army in Elvennia ended, Queen Vinedia focuses on the development of her country. The Dargunon have been invited by Vinedia to stay with the people in Elvennia city which their leader Hacion agreed and also, he offered the service of the Dargunon to the Queen which Gelweintall sees as a great boost of power in the army.

One day in the throne room, Gelweintall and Felimor propose a plan to go to the North and take over the land under the control of the Calcaem Empire. Vinedia disagree with the idea since her kingdom is in peace and she thinks that another fight against the Calcaem is pointless. Gelweintall and Felimor think Vinedia is seeing it the wrong way.

"Queen Vinedia, I have been in the enemy camp after the battle in Elvennia disguised as an officer. From what I've heard, the Calcaem realize their mistake by underestimating us lat time and now they are sending another wave of their soldiers, this time the units will consist of elites and magical units. We will not be lucky this time unlesss we weaken their influence and slowly crush the core before they may take action".

Gelweintall who was standing silence next to Felimor a moment ago continued. “I know these Calcaem people, they won't stop until they get it. While we are sitting peacefully here, they are already preparing their war plan on this city. They may made the mistake the last time but this time when they hit this city, I assure you Vinedia, the city will fall."

Vinedia kept quiet on her throne for a while, she is thinking on a decision to make. Gelweintall and Felimor told her to take some time to think, and they leave her alone in the throne room. "This will be hard on her, but until we can assure that the Calcaem won't touch this land, peace is only a dream for the people here.” said Gelweintall walking out of the castle.
"I just hope she can understand. Besides, our homeland is also under the control of Calcaem. We have to take it back." Replied Felimor before he said goodbye and walks away from Gelweintall.

For days Vinedia kept thinking on the decision she have to make. Her ministers including Gelweintall who are concerned with her situation adviced her to take some fresh air outside the castle so that she could ease her mind. Vinedia agreed, and riding her horse Vilvendi she went to a lake near Elvennia city." So, the Calcaem won't stop until they get the city under their control, I have to stop the empire lust for conquest but I also don't want to get my people involved. I don't actually know what to do." She then sat on the grass and watch the swan on the lake. Then she heard a loud voice.

First Vinedia heard a voice of a young girl
"Brother Gal! I knew it! You are fishing at this lake again, father is so angry you are not helping at the farm!"
Then, another voice of a man heard by Vinedia
"Hey cool down, you are scaring the fish."
"Oh yeah, I show you how cool I am!" Again the voice of the girl was heard, she sounded really angry which a loud punch sound was heard after the girl finished her word.

A hooded figure came out flying and falling near the place where Vinedia is sitting. "Ouch! Couldn't she go easy on me!" said the hooded figure which only his green eyes could be seen while rubbing his butt. "Are you alright." Vinedia asked the hooded man which the man was shocked upon seeing her and tries to run away.
"Oh no you don't! Show some respect to Queen Raynear, brother!" A girl quickly grabbed the man's clothes, it was Miene!
"Queen Raynear, what are you doing here, you fishing too?" Miene was so happy to see Vinedia and forced Galcalivern to sit and talk to the Queen.

"Hello Galcalivern, how are you doing?." Vinedia smiled to Galcalivern. Galcalivern kept silence until Miene punched him. "Er, er.. I'm fine, thank you for asking and what such beautiful queen be doing here at the lake.” The Queen blushed upon hearing Galcalivern’s word and she told Miene and Galcalivern about the things that Gelweintall and Felimor had told her. There was silence for a while. “You know what I think. I think you are only thinking of yourself.” Galcalivern quickly replied. “Brother!” Miene interrupted. “Queen Raynear, try asking my sister if she will go against Calcaem if you choose to go and fight them.” Galcalivern points to Miene, ‘Of course I will follow her anywhere! She does it for the sake of her kingdom, where ever you go and who over you will be facing you can count on your most loyal soldier! Me! C’mon Calcaem I will defeat you all!” Miene started to punch the air.

Vinedia didn’t say anything, she don’t know what to say, “What actually I’m trying to tell you is, that that you have to let the people decide too instead you alone makes the decision for them. Try to ask them, you will get the answer”. After hearing Galcalivern’s word Vinedia looked at the lake, the sky was getting dark and the lake reflects the sun setting down. Then saw a swan starts to fly leaving the lake which is then followed by other swans. She let closed her eyes then she thanked Galcalivern for his advice. Then, she looks at Galcalivern again and asked him why he hides his face. Galcalivern told Vinedia he had lots of scars on his face and makes people scared upon seeing it. Some how Vinedia think he was lying and had other reason for hiding his face.

Then Vinedia said something that shocked Galcalivern. “I have this familiar feeling when coming out from you, somehow this feeling is familiar when I meet Elsia….”
“Elsia! You know her?” Said Galcalivern in a surprised tone.
“Huh, you know her too?” Vinedia also seems surprised.
“Eh ah, no, Elsia? Maybe I heard that name before, no maybe a person with the same name..” Galcalivern starts to act weird.
Then Vinedia continued. “Well I thought you would know her, but this feeling… could you be….” Galcalivern starts to shake in fear. Before Vinedia could finish her word Miene interrupted their conversation. “Queen Raynear, let’s go eat, I’ll cook you something good!” Seeing the chance, Galcalivern quickly runs away.

Vinedia wanted to run after Galcalivern but she decided to go to Miene’s place to have dinner. Maybe she could meet with Galcalivern again there. There Vinedia met with Miene’s father who was very happy to see the queen having dinner at his place. Vinedia enjoyed herself there eating Miene’s delicious cooking and hearing Mr Viemphor’s tale. After a while as Vinedia have hoped, Galcalivern enters the house, again he was shocked and starts to sweat upon seeing Vinedia having dinner with his family. He started to quickly get out of the house when Vinedia quickly grabbed his clothes at the back and forced him to sit next to her. Miene and their father, Mr Viemphor laughed watching the scene and they all laughed the most when Galcalivern starts to blush. Watching the cloth that covers Galcalivern’s face turns red really amazes Vinedia and she becomes more interested in finding out Galcalivern’s true identity.

After a while at the Viemphor’s home, its time for Vinedia to return to the castle. “Going back so soon Queen Raynear? “ said Miene looking a little bit sad.
“Yes, I have to get back to the castle, the people at the castle might be worried if I have been out for quite a long time especially Gelweintall. He might rush out from the castle looking for me.”
“That old man? He really takes good care of you Queen Raynear, send my regards to that old man and tell him not to worry to much or his hair would fall quickly!” They both laughed. Eventhough somewhat scared and still blushing Galcalivern reminds Vinedia of the decision to make. “Remember, its you and your people… not you alone….” Vinedia thanked the family for the good food and their hospitalities, waves goodbye and rides away with Vilvendi to Elvennia city. Vinedia waves back shouting goodbye to the queen, and Galcalivern who was standing next to Miene fall flat on the ground, his energy and spirits seems to be washed away from the attempt to hide his identity from Vinedia.”Haha brother Gal, today have really been a tough day to you huh? Now lets go back inside.” Miene said smiling while dragging the flat Galcalivern into the house.

On the next day Vinedia made a royal announcement to the people of Elvennia on going to war against the Calcaem Empire. To her surprise her people supported on the fight against the Calcaem. Vinedia was touched by her people support. Her people know that their queen is doing it for the good of the kingdom. Vinedia gave the orders to prepare the army on the same day. After month of preparation it is time for the Elvennian army to move out into the north continent. All the army gathered at the ships that will be carrying them to the north continent. The families of the soldiers bids them farewell on the journey, Mr. Viemphor and Galcalivern also came to bids Miene farewell. And so all the ships start to sail to the north continent for the battle against the Calcaem.

Before the last ship departs, Galcalivern quickly took out a large sack which seems to contains metal equipment and quickly said goodbye to his father who was quite surprised. “You are going too?” said Mr. Viemphor, his eyes opened wide surprised that Galcalivern saying goodbye to him.
“Somebody have to watch over Miene, I’ll make sure that she will return home safely.”after finished with his word he waves goodbye and quickly runs after the last ship which already starts to depart.Seeing that Galcalivern sneaking into the ship makes Mr. Viemphor kind of worried, “Oh my dear Eternals, instead of becoming a soldier, he actually becomes a stowaway.”
