   Happy! Happy! Very long post!
Today I went to the bookstore, took me 2 hours looking for the books that I really like... well actually I can't make up my decision on which one to buy... Finally I have decided to buy an illustration book by Aoi Nanase (translated in chinese character, eventhough I would prefer japanese character.. who cares at least I could afford it), A fantasy novel titled 'The Goddess-World Weaver' by Douglas Niles (Oh my.. its a trilogy, I thought the story have only one book! Gah why do they have to make it a trilogy when it comes to fantasy novel! LOTR included)...Finally the most valuable, 'The Art of War' by the legendary Chinese strategist, Sun Zu! Since I have to contriol my budget, I can only buy these 3 books... I'll have to pass on again on the medieval swordsmanship.

Talking about the Chinese strategist, I have finished the art of Alten Kwai Rue. Yep the one that I said that is inspired by chinese literature.

Oh yeah, do you know there will be a movie on Alexander The Great coming out soon. You should check on the site.. I don't think Mr Alexander would wear something that short.....O.O Ah this is the guy which Calneas design is based on.. Err I mean the original Alexander pic. Not this one, I think the costume is not that right but still I'm gonna watch it.

Oh yeah, here's the site on the movie

http://alexanderthemovie.warnerbros.com/

With many movies now focussing on ancient war I have the feeling the next one will be based on Richard the Lionheart and Saladin of the crusade war... just a prediction...

Well, you want to now if the story have already ended or not right? so here's the answer for it. Enjoy ^_^.

Eve of the Eternals
Side story: An interview with the celestial

Raynear: Sigh, its finished I think�ENow that Queen Vinedia Raynear have already won the battle against the invader. Its time for me to go to Velzen kingdom for the Velzen part of the story�E
*Walks away*
Figure sitting on stone: You’re leaving already?
Raynear: Huh! Who’s there?
Stranger: No need to get surprised, I’m a nice person. It’s a shame you are leaving Elvennia already, the good part is already starting. *Smiles*
Raynear: Good part?
Stranger: Yep, the good part. If you go now you will be missing a lot of good action.
Raynear: How do you know this? Who exactly are you?
Stranger: Now, now, its rude to ask names without telling yours first..
Raynear: Ah, I’m sorry�EI’m�E
Stranger: Yeah, yeah nice to meet you Raynear.
Raynear: !!! Hey, you already knew my name yet you ask me my name!
Stranger: Yes, but even though I already know your name, I’m still a stranger to you. Isn’t it polite for a stranger to introduce themselves to strangers?
Raynear: Hmmph, yeah you might be right. So introduce yourself now.
Stranger: Ahem. *Stands up with style, both hands on waist* I am Larhain, the Celestial of Memories and Dreams.
Raynear: Wh.. What!? A celestial? You?
Larhain: Enough talk, I want to tell you why you should stay here and see what will happen in Elvennia...
Raynear: Sorry, I still don’t thinks you are a celestial..
Larhain: Oh really, how about this�E*whisper to Raynear’s ear*
Raynear: *Gasp* Wha... How... How did you know my secrets?
Larhain: They don’t call me the celestial of Memories and Dreams for nothing�Eow; want me to tell your secrets the audience?
Raynear: Ok! Ok! I trust you! Now tell me why this isn’t the end yet?
Larhain:Okay, listen carefully. The Calcaem army still exists, so there is still threat. Gelweintall and Felimor’s hometown still under the control of Calcaem so they might go there and engage the enemy there to free their hometown.
Raynear: Yeah that is true.
Larhain: Shush! Do not interrupt when a celestial is explaining.
Raynear: Yeah, yeah, whatever�E
Larhain: Raynear’s secret telling time�E
Raynear: Ahh! I’m sorry! Forgive me your greatness!
Larhain: That’s better. Now let me continue�E
Raynear: (Sheesh..!)
Larhain: You remember the picture of the Elvennia Generals right?
Raynear: Oh yeah, the one in my journal in the art section.
Larhain: We have Queen Raynear there; Gelweintall and Felimor are also there�EYes, Miene is also there. Now, in the picture we also have another two general which is still unidentified. I could say one is a Dargunon but the other one is still a mystery. Which means the Queen will meet him in the near future... which I could assume means the quest have not yet ended.
Raynear: Wouldn’t that mysterious one be Galcalivern?
Larhain: Ah�Ealcalivern. No that’s not him and Galcalivern don’t have wings to be precise. He can’t even fight, how could he be one of the generals? (Hmm�Ehis name sounds familiar though�E)
Raynear: Can I ask you something?
Larhain: Certainly? How may I be of assistance?
Raynear: Who are the celestials? Where do they come from?
Larhain: We the celestials are the beings that lives in Eternavia (The world of Eve of the Eternals), we are just like other creatures in Eternavia except that our races have been granted immortality and special powers. We, the celestials, lives in the sky in place that looks like a small planet orbiting Ertenavia far from the reach of other being and the location always changes. It’s a pretty place; we could observe the mortals living on Eternavia from there. Compared to the humans, we are smaller in numbers.
Larhain: You must have a luxurious life living there�E Then why are you here?
Larhain: We are the loyal servants of the Eternals; we are here on the lands of the mortal to carry the plan of the Eternals.
Raynear: Eternals planning eh? So, you are also part of their plans?
Larhain: We are part of it and are not part of it.
Raynear: What does that mean? You are confusing me�E
Larhain: Some of us are here to make sure that Eternavia is protected which is part of the Eternals plans but actually the Eternals did not ask for our help to do so. It is that we are interested to involve in this. You could say we are like volunteers. We are especially interested in the Eternals chosen people. The ‘Leinvarrier�E Others are just taking the advantage to show their power or to show the other celestials how strong they are. Others are here just to have fun.
Raynear: The Leinvarrier?
Larhain:Yes, *Puts hands on his neck* The breaker of lines or in more understandable means the breaker of boundry line between the mortals and the Eternals. One example is Queen Vinedia Raynear of The Sea.
Raynear: The Sea... you mean the power of the sea inside of Queen Vinedia Raynear...
Larhain: Not the power inside, she in fact is the sea herself.
Raynear: *Scratches head* This is getting confusing�E
Larhain: You need to see how she utilizes her power then you will understand. The Eternals actions are hard to understand. Even we do not know what are they actual plan. Another reason why you should stay here in Elvennia.
Raynear: Ok, so how do you help the Leinvarrier? Does it have any effect on the celestial to interfere in the mortal world.
Larhain: We assist them in many ways, like me I provide dreams to send messages to the Leinvarrier. In order to be on the mortal lands, the celestials immortality will be gone, and their power will be reduced by half. So, in this world celestial can easily be killed.
Raynear: I see�Eso you are the one who’s responsible for Vinedia’s dream on the invasion and Velzen kingdom’s future.
Larhain: True, but in providing the dream I have to work with other celestial. My specialty is on dreams but not on future predictions. Wow, you sure ask a lot do you?
Raynear: Ah, just a few more...
Larhain: Okay, I can only accept two more.
Raynear: How many types of celestial are there?
Larhain: Hmm? If you ask celestials according to their tasks there are so many of them. In term of classification�Elet me see�EYeah, we have the High Celestial, the guys who have the authority power, but they don’t interfere much�Ethese celestial only like to observe but they are caring of the celestial below them. Next we have the Light Celestial, the celestial that mostly their task consist of keeping records, helping or assisting, mostly task that would provide benefits and help to others, they are like normal beings, they have feelings and they can change into different forms. I’m one of the light celestial. Then we have the Dark Celestial, these celestial mostly have aggressive kind of task, fighting, destroying, fighting curse, guarding grave that kind of task. Lesser Celestial, a small being living in our world, I have been told they are souls of the dead celestial that waits to turn back into their original form�Ethese creature does could not communicate with other celestial, they are creatures that roams around in our world until they themselves decided to return to their original form. I could say that they are like cats in the mortal world. Fallen Celestial�E. I do not know if these kinds of celestial exist, I just heard only stories about them which the truth could not be confirmed. The only one who knows about the truth is the High Celestials.
Raynear: So can you tell me the names of the celestial that getting involved in the Eternals plan?
Larhain*Laughs* That is top secret and I don’t know the other celestial quite well, still if their name is mentioned in front of me I would know what their task and ability are. We also could recognize the other celestial easily even when they are not in their celestial form. That’s the last question I will be answering, the rest you find it out by yourself.
Its time for me to go now. Tata!*Walks away into the horizon*
Raynear: *Shouts* Thanks for the info and I will be staying here to see how the events here will progress! Ah.. he’s already gone.. There’s lot more that I wanted to ask him�E
Thelmerias: *Appears behind Raynear*
Raynear: Ah its you Thelmerias!
Thelmerias: �E
Raynear: Are you trying to tell me something?
Thelmerias:*Evil smile* You still can’t use Fairlandis even if you have the information on the celestials. *Dissapears*
Raynear: >_< �E

So, now that you all have guess correctly. I will make another interesting annoucement.. I have decided to get the character from Records of the Eternals to be involve in this story as well. So, where would your character be and in which story will you appear? Heres the list that I have been thinking.

Chie : Velzen
Onokij : Ivaseal
Blackwings : Celestial
Teia : Malacatern

New character

Poo62/Matt : Velzen
Kataryu : Elvennia

So who are the leader of each of the side. Here's the list and the influence that portray the character design.

   Merdeka!
Thats what we Malaysian shouts when we are celebrating Independence day in our country. So its holiday today and I have the time to continue with the story. Its quite a serious one...

Eve of the Eternals
Part 18: This means War!

After while some time of peace, Vinedia had received news from the scout that the Calcaem army have already arrived on Elvennia land. It seems that the Calcaem have started to invade the nearby village and towns near Elvennia. Quickly Gelweintall ordered all the scouts to return to Elvennia city. In the castle, Vinedia sat on her throne looking stressed, Her ministers kept quiet but tension could also seen on their face while Gelweintall just standing still waiting for Vinedia to say something. “So it has finally started…. My dream about the invasion has come true…” Vinedia closed her eyes. “They are still preparing and from the scouts report they are trying to surround the city.” Gelweintall explains the situation to Vinedia then he continued, “Its best we stay low for a while, we don’t want them to know we have soldiers here in Elvennia, if they found out about this we will be facing a strong resistance from them.”.

Vinedia stands up from her throne, “Still, I need to see the enemy army myself... I’m going for an undercover.” Looking quite shocked Gelweintall tries to stop Vinedia from trying to spy the Calcaem army, but instead he ended up following her in the undercover operations. Felimor, who heard about this also decided to join them.

But the undercover ended in failure because Vinedia decided to help a dragon demi human child who got caught in a trap made by the Calcaem army. “The Dargunon race… the race of human-dragon creature. Never expect to see one of them, I thought it was only a fairy tale.” Vinedia looking at the little Dargunon smiling. “A dragonmen tribe eh? Better send it back to its place before the Calcaem army realize that someone had disturbed their traps.” Felimor suggested to the others. “Looks like we can’t go for the undercover thing anymore since we need to send this Dargunon pup home.” Gellweintall said with a sigh of relief.

And so they send the Dargunon home to its tribe but they never entered the valley where the Dargunon resides since they afraid the Dargunon won’t be that friendly with humans, they just left the small Dargunon near the valley so that it could go back on its own.

In Elvennia, Miene is walking with his brother Galcalivern at the market district buying items to cook for dinner. Galcalivern as usual wear his hood that hides his face, the only thing you can see is his green eyes. “Brother, the enemy is getting nearer day by day and sooner or later we will be on the field fighting them... to tell the truth I’m kinda scared….It’s not that I’m a coward or something but I’m scared of killing people, I’ve never kill anyone before….” Galcalivern looked at his sister who is looking quite confused. “Then don’t get yourself involve in the war. Like me I’m not thinking of fighting. Maybe I just run away somewhere when the war starts.” Miene is quite annoyed by her brother’s response. “What I expected from an idiot, a stupid advice. I have my reason to fight and I’m not backing out, besides I’m the Queen’s standard bearer. Unlike you I’m not a coward!”. Galcalivern just laughed by his sister’s comment “Well looks like you are still going into the battlefield, then you still have to kill, it’s the rule of being a soldier fighting for his country.. Kill or be killed, survival will determine the winner. If you are fighting in your current state right now, its better for you not to fight at all understand?” Miene kept quite for a while then gave a back hand chop on his brother’s neck. “Yeah, I need to be ready mentally. The Queen will fight and so will I! But still, why aren’t you fighting too?” Galcalivern looked at the sky, then he said, “
I haven’t found my reason to fight, that’s all...”

In the castle Vinedia is visited by representative from the Calcaem army which is their general and his bodyguards. “We have come to inform you that this land is now part of the Calcaem empire possession, you must obey all the rules and provides resources that your country produces. You have no longer the power to rule as the only one who can rule is the Lord of the Calcaem Empire. Instead you can become minister in providing better communications with the residents here. Any resistance would lead to severe punishment”. Vinedia was quite angry upon hearing this so was her minister. “I never said that I would accept your terms and I never intended this city to become part of Calcaem.” Vinedia said trying to control herself. “Yes, you never agree as like the other leader also said, but when the lord has decided that the land belongs to the Calcaem Empire, there is no need for agreement”. Vinedia said Elvennia is an independent nation and there is not need for outside interference and she won’t let the Calcaem take the land. Upon hearing that the Calcaem general quickly draws his sword and gave a cut on Vinedia shoulder. “That is the souvenir for resisting, if we can’t take it peacefully than we will take it by force, two moons from now we will be coming with our soldier to take the city and you will be beheaded in front of your people as an example of resisting the Calcaem Empire.” After the warning the general left the castle. “Vinedia lie back on her throne holding her bleeding shoulder. “That man, he is the metal man that I saw few years ago. So he finally came back to conquer this land… These Calcaem people are getting very arrogant, its time to teach them a lesson.”


Two days later the Calcaem army indeed arrives to the city but to their shock they found out soldiers wearing blue armor are already waiting them outside the city fully equipped with weapons. “I never knew that had an army of their own, I thought we could just take our army easily into the city.” The General of the Calcaem army looks very surprised. “So, what do we do now? Our army here are only for the purpose of giving fear to the enemy.” . “Continue the invasion, we cannot return empty handed; besides these people here don’t really have the experience in real battle. They are just pretending.”. The army general said confidently.

The throne room in Elvennia castle was quite, Vinedia was alone sitting on the throne wearing her blue armor, thinking. Then her mother entered the room and with holding a sword with her. She approached Vinedia and handed her the sword then said, “My daughter Raynear, take this sword with you into this battle.”. Vinedia took the sword and felt a very strong power from it. “Mother, where did you get this sword? Quite beautiful and I could feel a strong power coming from it.” Then her mother told her that she would want to be able to help her daughter in defending Elvennia but since she was old she do not know what to do to help her daughter. Then one night she was greeted by a person who calls himself Thelmerias, the Celestial of Weapons and Forgery and he offered to make a sword for Vinedia and Vinedia’s mother lend him a hand in making the sword. That is how the sword comes into existence, a sword forged of the love of a mother to her daughter. “This is Fairlandis, a sword that can only be hold by the blood of the Raynears. When sheathed this sword looks like a normal sword, when unsheathed Fairlandis shows its true self, if hold by others Fairlandis remains a normal sword.” Vinedia hugged and thanked her mother, she then attached Fairlandis on her belt, bids her mother farewell and move out from the castle.

From the castle she could see her soldiers are already in formation. Wearing her helmet she rides on Vilvendi, her horse. She rides her horse to the front of the formation. Gelweintall and Miene was already there waiting for her. Standing 15 000 strong, she commanded her army to move to the battlefield. Her mother watched from the far praying to the Eternals for her daughter safety.

The army came face to face with the Calcaem Empire soldiers. Vinedia noticed Felimor and some of the soldiers are missing. “Felimor been missing for many day, the last time I saw him is when we left him at the valley where the Dargunon lives. I hope nothing bad happens to him.” Said Gelweintall when Vinedia asked him on Felimor’s whereabouts. “Queen Raynear, the Calcaem army is marching forward! We should be preparing too!” Miene shouted. “This is it, sound the trumpets! Unsheathe your swords! Hold up your shields! To be strong we must not fear the enemy!” The Elvennia soldiers shouted in response. “Good moral booster Queen, now remember make it quick a long battle would be problematic. I’ll go take my position now” Gelweintall said smiling leaving the queen. Vinedia looked at Miene who was holding the flag of Elvennia, Miene made a signal that she is ready and not to worry about her.

The Calcaem army then stopped, the general commanded the army to charge and the archer units to fire, and the Elvennia army did the same too. Many soldiers fall victim to the archer attacks from both sides. Vinedia quickly rode Vilvendi to engage the enemy followed by Miene. While charging Vinedia shouted something in an ancient words of Elvennia, “Meierfillhen Elvennia! Vielfillhen Elvennia!” (For Elvennia we live, for Elvennia we die). “So the leader is the Queen herself charging stupidly in the front, she won’t last long and we will win easily.” The Calcaem general smiled. “Whoever manages to kill the queen will be handsomely rewarded!” shouted the enemy general. He watched the queen carefully behind the army line, waiting confidently for the queen’s demise.


Upon charging an arrow flew towards Vinedia, quickly Vinedia takes out her shield protecting her face, and then another appeared. Vinedia bend her body to the left, and the arrow missed her. She then took out her bow and fired the arrow which instantly killed the archer attacking her. She straightens up her body and fires three more arrows simultaneously hitting another three. Miene, also proved to be a great fighter, attaching the flag to the horse seat fights her way to the front with her spear defeating soldiers standing in her way. Both armies met, sword clashes and each soldier fighting their best to win. The Elvennia soldier prove to be an efficient fighter, carrying bow and swords, an Elvennian swordsmen could instantly turns into an archer on the battlefield unlike the Calcaem who only specializes in certain weapons. Still, lack of experience of the Elvennia soldier is inferior to the Calcaem soldier. The battle starts to take quite a long time and it’s already near night. “Elvennia, its time for you to protect yourself too right?” Gelweintall looking at Elvennia city. Suddenly the land started to shake and to the Calcaem soldiers disbelief Elvennia city starts to float and went up into the sky! “I can’t believe what I saw, Elvennia city floats in the sky!”

“Elvennia always floats to the sky when it’s nearly night. Luckily you didn’t saw this when you were here two days ago.” Gelweintall said smiling and then sounded the horn trumpet. Instantly after the trumpet sounds, fireballs came falling towards the Calcaem troops. These fireballs are fired from the catapult positioned on Elvennia city. “Damn it! They are breaking the army apart!” Then another horn sounded from a hill near the battlefield. From there appeared Felimor and other soldiers followed hundreds of large humanlike form also wearing blue armor and carrying large axe and hammer. It’s the Dargunon race who decided to help Elvennia! “Reinforcements! This is getting out of hand...” The Calcaem general started to lose his confidence. “Vinedia saw this chance quickly tries to break through the Calcaem army to reach towards the enemy general. She jumped from her horse. Above air she shouted “Raycrusher!” giving impact on the area she lands that sends many of the Calcaem soldiers flying. She gives signal for Vilvendi to move forward and she quickly runs forward throwing off her helmet. On the way she defeated soldiers trying to block her way. She then took a helmet from on of the enemies and wore it, and then she stabbed one on the way, takes off the mantel and covered her body with the mantel. Enemy soldiers that saw her thought of her as one of their friends since they could only see her wearing the same helmet and mantel and could not clearly see her armor since its covered by the mantel.

Then she runs to the place where the Calcaem general located. When the general saw her, he said “Are you running away from battle soldier? I will have to kill you!” Vinedia throws the helmet and looked at him “Sorry I’m not running away, but I’m charging forward!” Vinedia quickly ride back on Vilvendi which arrives at the same time she arrived at the location and with a flash cut off the general’s head. With the enemy general dead Vinedia commanded that the Calcaem army to stop fighting and throw away their weapons and surrender. The Calcaem army, already too shocked by the events during the fight against Elvennia soldier obeyed Vinedia’s command. Miene then appeared behind Vinedia, “You were going too fast, I can’t keep up with you! This job as the standard bearer is really tough.” said Miene who is out of breath. “Don’t worry you did a good job out there.” Then Vinedia points Fairlandis to the sky and shouted victory. “We did it, we won!”

Finally the queen efforts for 8 years have finally paid off. With her experience, knowledge and friends she was able to defend her land from being taken by the Calcaem Empire. Now the Queen task is to make sure her people live in peace and harmony and to make Elvennia a glorious land to live in.

The End?

Actually the battle scene should go more longer, really I tried to make it simple since I myself confused with how to exactly say the actions properly. I think it would be clearer if I draw the action be that would take quite some time unless I am drawing a manga/comic of it.

Ehhhh?!! The end? Hmmm... what do guys think? Is it really the end? And I wonder how do you think about this story?

And to tell the truth this is actually a framework for the comic.... that is if I become a comic artist ^_^ so I can say that I'm not actually good when it comes in writing a story *sweat*

The art of Alten is still on progress so maybe you will be seeing it on next week. Just hope I'm not lazy.

Anyway I will visit you guys later. So see ya!

Raynear: Hey Thelmerias! My name is Raynear too, so that means I can wield Fairlandis right?

Thelmerias: You have no Raynear blood. In fact, you just borrow the Raynear title and its not your real name. Sorry to say, no you can't wield it. *dissapears*

Raynear: >_< !

   Well, hello again...
On 31 of August I will be celebrating the National Independence day, peopel are already putting the National Flags on vehicles, I haven't see people put up flags in their house yet... Our flag? Our flag looks like American flag and instead of having a lot of stars on it our national flag have Crescent Moon and big star next to it.

This time I have managed to finish another one, this time its Mr Ralif Asthar the leader of the Malacatern Bandit Army ^_^. Well I just put in here the sketch, the complete coloured version is in the fan art section I guess. Well if you notice the weapon he is carrying, its actually a Kris, an ancient Malay or Indonesia weapon. Yep this guy is designed based on my ancestors who came to the Malaysia land a few hundred years ago. Malay people actually don't wear armor but from reading history books my ancestor is not Malay and they wear armor and somehow took control over the Malay land.. So from there I got the idea of making this character. Oh, Malay people are the people who lives in Malaysia.Somehow I still feel there is something wrong with the pic.. maybe I overdo it with too many white......


The lineart for Ralif Ashtar..




If you want to improve yourself in drawing you could go to this site ^_^

http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/index.htm

Next up, I will be colouring a pic of another Leader, Alten Kwai Rue from the Solhimine Dynasty. I hope this one would turn out good..


Next up.. this guy. Yeah I'm a little bit influenced by the Romance of The Three Kingdom story.. A chinese ancient epic ^_^

P/S: I changed the avatar, well its Queen Vinedia.. I really wanted to put her up as my avatar. Do you think its weird for a man to have a woman avatar?

Well, be seeing you guys later.
*Runs away*

   Hello! hello!
Well, I guess, since I have the time browsing the net I would drop by here for a while. Well my week have been very good eventhough there is bad things that also happen but like the local proverb said "Ambil yang jernih, buang yang keruh" which means "Take the calm, throw the chaos (direct translation, sorry -_-)-just take the good thing and throw away all those baddy baddy thingie! Yeah!"

I composed this one on word so I think it would be a very long one but since I thinks I don't write the story everyday and yep, I don't come here that much often now I guess its all fair. So here again the storie!



Eve Of The Eternals
Part 17: Special Skills

Gelweintall was not his usual self and kept quiet for many days. Still, Gelweintall did not stop giving training to the soldier. Vinedia did not talk to him for a while fearing that she would say something that would hurt his heart. “Felimor said it’s better for me to let Gelweintall like that for a while so that he would have time to calm down” Vinedia thinks to herself. Then she remembered about that Miene girl and her brother Galcalivern. She decided to see the training ground where Miene was training. There, a war game was held on the training ground where the soldier pretends that they are fighting in real war. When Vinedia arrives at the location she saw that the game had already begun. The war game consists of two teams, one wears a red scarf and other wears blue and the team who manages to defeat al of the people of the opposing teams win. Miene who was wearing a blue scarf is really fighting very well, running with her spear she easily knocks 5 people down and quickly retreat back into her team so that she would not run so far ahead of her team members. Vinedia could heard the other teams shouting to their comrade to focus on Miene seeing her as the one giving the most threat to the red team. “Hey hey, I know I’m cute guys but no need to be so agitated because of that ^_^.” Miene teasing the other team.

“Cute? Annoying more like it!” All of our strong fighter charge and surround her! The others focus on the other enemy soldier we have more strong fighters than the blue team.” Commanded the red team leader. Miene decided to separate from her team. “Hey Miene where are you going! You are to far out from your allies!” shouted her team leader. “Don’t worry captain let me handle this one, you just focus on fighting the grunts since your ability is nearly as good as their I sure you can handle those guys.” Tears started flowing from the blue team leader eyes “I think she just said that I’m the same as the grunts…”
Fifteen people that were considered the strongest people of the team including the red team leader surrounded Miene. “Charge! Beat her so that she will no longer annoy us!” commanded the red team leader. The soldiers charged towards Miene while Miene just stand still on her position. “I will show you guys something interesting and I hope this would make a good lesson to mess with me” she said smiling. After finished with her sentence Miene quickly jump backwards, hold her spear horizontally then charged. “Special skill spear rush” she then rammed into the red teams making the fifteen soldiers falling on their back. Then she jumped “Disaster Break, Viemphor spear technique! Sky Scream!” With a very weird shrieking sound coming out from her spear, she made a spear thrust and hit the ground where the strong forces from the impact breaks the ground into tiny pieces which fly all over. The quickly she made a spear charge to her enemies the fifteen red team soldier and defeating them all including the leader.

The crowd was astonished by the act that Miene pulled including the trainer and also the Queen herself.” That was a special skill just now! Even we could not do that kind of feat!” shouted one of her trainer. Then Miene saw Vinedia who was still shocked and quickly run to her leaving the training ground. “Heey, Queen Raynear! I’m so happy to see you here.” “Hi Miene, what was that move that you just made just now.” Vinedia asked Miene. “Eh, I’m surprised your highness doesn’t know of it. That was called a special skill, an action that generates high amount and destructive damage to the enemies. Actually everybody could learn it but to initiate the skill needs lots of training where some people decide not to learn it because the complexity and time taken to master it.” When Miene mentioned about the special skill Raynear remembered Cineaval teachings…

5 years ago….
Vinedia was playing with Cineaval and Elsia at the field they used to play. “Now its time for war training!” Cineaval shouted. “Yay, war lesson time!” shouted Elsia. “So, leader what are going to teach us today?” Vinedia asked. Cineaval takes out his gigantic sword looked at it for a while and swings the sword “I will teach you this today.” Elsia and Vinedia saw the grasses that was cut by Cineaval then burned. “Wow, amazing leader! How did you do that?” Vinedia looks interested. “Well elementary, my dear Vinedia.” He said smiling then continued “This world consist of natural elements that are everywhere around us, like the air for us to breath there is also another important element could not be seen but this one provides energy which we call the ‘Mana’. When people are able to utilize the power of mana to perform special actions which we call magic.” Then he saw Elsia is standing up and starting to perform something. Then Cineaval started to sweat. “Burn!” shouted Elsia. Cineaval body was engulfed in flames and then the flame quickly disappeared. Cineaval body was turned black because of the flame attack. “Are you trying to kill me!” shouted the now furious Cineaval. “Haha! Leader is all black now! See Vinedia that was magic.” Elsia, smiling while pointing to Cineaval the ‘experiment’ guy.
Vinedia laughed looking at Cineaval.

Cineaval doesn’t care with his burned condition continues the lesson. “There are two type of magic, the natural magic and the skill magic. Natural magic is where people make use of the natural elements and controls them to perform any action that the user desires, this is also known as pure magic which Elsia just show you a good example *shows tongue to Elsia*. Another one is to power up the equipment such as weapon to perform special movement which usually ends up with destructive result, this one is a combination with the user skill and doesn’t use a lot of mana and called a special skill like the one that I did before.” Cineaval puts back the sword into the sheath.

Then he smiled and looks at the sky “Well I’m still at beginners level and I’m focusing on mastering the special skill. And so that finishes our lesson for today. Lets go to my place to eat!” “Yes leader!” Vinedia and Elsia shouted and together they run back to the city of Velzen….


“….Cineaval, Elsia.….”

“Queen Raynear! Lets go eat together ok!” Miene shouted. “Huh, oh Miene..” Vinedia realized from her nostalgic memories. “What’s wrong with you, you just suddenly went quiet and not focusing on what I said.” Miene making angry face. “Ah, its nothing its just that I suddenly remembered my old friends….Well let us go and eat. Oh, and another thing.. could you teach me those special skills.” “Well I would want to teach you but I think that old man behind you is going to teach you.” Points at the two figures behind Vinedia. “Don’t call me old man you little pest!” Shouted Gelweintall. Felimor just laughed and Miene as usual making faces to Gelweintall. “Gelweintall, Felimor! So, Gelweintall are you sure you are going to teach me on special skill?” Vinedia seemed concerned since Gelweintall was seems sad about his country for quite a while. “Hey there, I’m a great general and you expect me to be weakened by that silly thing! If we stay strong surely we will be able to take back Leintein from Calcaem empire hands! Training you is far more important my queen.” The queen was happy that Gelweintall is back to his usual self. Then Gelweintall continued “Besides, we are now comrades right?” “Friends are more better!” Miene shouted. “Yes, we are friends…” smiled Vinedia. “Let us all go to eat now shall we?” Felimor interrupted. “Yes let’s go.” Replied Vinedia.

“Cineaval, Elsia now I have new friends that I can put may trust on and I’m so happy. Take care you two….”

Well that is all for the story. And guess what. I got 1000 hits! heh ^_^. Well I'm feeling happy not because I got 1000 hits, its because you guys always supporting me and always keeps me company.! Thank you for always supporting me. You know who you are! Terima Kasih!

Err..... hello?
Man.. this atarting a new semester really keeps me busy. I'm starting to get a lots of assignments pilling on me and it keeps coming and only had little time to draw!

I have to take the time during the break to draw but since I'm a business students I need to draw somewhere hidden. If I got caught by those business worshipping people it would be annoying to hear them talk about drawing anime and comparing them with the business pleasure... well at least that's what I think. Well somehow my classmates and friends are supporting me! Thanks a lot guys!

I'm planning to draw the characters of the Eve of the Eternals story to give the people who reads my story the idea of how the character look like. Since I'm a little bit busy I guess I put in something old, remember cleaning the room thing? I share you my old art and it would be interesting to show how bad I was in the old times... ahah I'm talking like an old man oh well here ae some of my oldies enjoy ^_^


Drew this one when I was 17 never finished it though.. Yep the eyes are a little bit too far. Realized the mistake when I entered the university.


This one was drawn for a comic competition when I was taking my business diploma. Failed to win anything but I'm not giving up!


My personal favourite. This was drawn at the age of 17. Notice the quite long hand, well I call her a dryad to make up for this mistake. Dryad -> Non human -> Long hand acceptable ^_^.

Well I dunno when I will be up here next time.. But till then its time for me to..er.. to.. oh yeah! To run away! *Runs away!*

   Busy again...
Last week class started, lots of thimgs happened during that time especially The thing with 'I entered the wrong class thing and I got confused with which one of the subjects I should actually take' kind of things. I was suppose to take the subject Global Marketing but I have been told its not offered to the human resource students instead I have to take the Risk Management subjects. The problem was managed to be solved and I was elected as the class rep for the first time only for that which is only for that subject which kind of a good thing to me. And I did my own 'Bento' (lunchpack) for the first time since taken the degree!

Got to the wrong class as a result of confusion between classmates. I and one of the older classmates was waiting in class no 572 but the class seems empty..wonder if the class was canceled. Then entered three other classmates who got into thinks they got into the wrong class. when asked they told my friend and me who was waiting in class that class is in room 752 .. so to make sure my friend followed them to room 752 to find out they are taking different subjects than me! Also when I was about to throw the class table to them out of anger and embarassment they told me that another friend told them the subject that I'm taking which is in room 572, the class was canceled. Gaaaagh..luckily for them I didn't intend to actually throw the table but maybe it would be a good lesson to them if I throw it *laughs*. Well that experience would make a good inspiration to put in a story or manga!

Also last week I was able to give the Kakashi drawing to my friend safely which I intended to keep but I guess I could draw another one..

Since I'm starting back going to class and concetrating on drawing the manga at the same time I would only be able to write on this site on weekends or when I have some free time. Since I was not able to go to class today since there is some problem with the train that I usually take, i had to stay home today got some time to spend here. I was quite unhappy about the train incident and missing the class lecture is not what I have in mind.....Its not like I like going to class, but still I'm not the type who likes to skips class as I know that in each class I gain new knowledge.

Finished inking one of my drawings which takes about weeks to finish cause of my laziness but hey, I managed to carefully finished it and it does really looks good. Colouring...maybe anther 6 months or year later...heh, I'm so lazy.
Oh yeah about those comic things still doing it and still in the sketching process. Well let me show one sketch of the comic that I'm doing.



Well since this is still on sketching phase it looks kind of dirty.. well if you have anything you want to say about this pic just say it, it might help me!

I think I need to stop writing now..So as usual, its time to run! *Runs away*

Ah.. holiday is over and its back to the university. I did the registration a little late from the actual date so I had to pay a fine... there goes the money for books and all... Other than paying the fund the registration went well so I was kind of relieved. Class already started and the class only goes on for 15 minutes. Today was a bit weird cause I didn't feel sleepy like the other usual day and manage to keep myself awake for 12 hours which is not usualy possible on normal days. Well whatever it is the day today went well today and hope tommorow would be better.

   Hmm hmm...
Since I have some free time I guess I continue with the story...

Eve of The Eternals
Part 16:Recruitment

After a few months of sailings the ship finally reached the south island continents. Quickly Vinedia and her soldiers move on to the city of Elvennia. On the way she saw the old man who teased her when she first started her journey. Vinedia smiled at him and the old man was kinda surprised to see the young girl whom he first saw riding a cow grown up to be a fine young woman and have some strong followers.

The people of Elvennia was so happy to see their queen have finally returned after being away for 7 years. Vinedia now is 21 years old after long years of travelling alone and now she have returned to the throne. After having a welcoming fest which lasted for 3 days 3 nights. Vinedia started a meeting with her ministers for the preparation against the incoming threat from the Calcaem empire. She appointed Gelweintall as her advisor and odered the ministers to give full support to Gelweitall.

Quickly the kingdom starts to recruit people who are able and train them to become soldiers. Gelweintall odered sent out some of his soldiers to nearby populated area to recruit more people to join. They managed to get many people to join and started to train different skills to the people that have been recruited which most of the training is done by Vinedia.

Vinedia teached the art of blacksmith, siegecraft, irrigation to her people and to the raw recruits they learned the art of swordplaying, archery and war tactics with the help of Gelweintall. Vinedia managed to teach all this from what she have learned during her travels.

One day, Gelweintall called Vinedia to see something interesting happened on the training grounds. There Vinedia saw a girl who manage to defeat so many people in a fighting training and she manage to beat her trainer too. Vinedia was inteested with the girl and decided to meet her. Gelweintall said that the girl would make a good standard bearer and weapon support for Vinedia.

"May I know your name?" Vinedia asked the girl.
"Melciene Viemphor but I prefer to be called Miene, my Queen and that person over there is my brother Galcalivern Viemphor!" said the girl smiling while showing to a person who hides himself in dark cloak among the audiences.
"I told you not to tell the queen about me!" Miene's brother shouted from far.
Miene tried to call he brother to meet Vinedia but Galcalivern refuses to meet her. Glacalivern looked at Vinedia for a while and quickly runs away.. (just like I always do ^_^)

"Please excuse my brother, he's a shy person and one more thing, my father sends a message that he apologize for the harsh remarks that he made to you a few years ago."
Vinedia eyes open wide when she head this. "You mean you are the daughter of the person who mocked me when I was riding the cow?"
"Yep, that's why I and my brother are here.. he sends us to aid you. And I could say I'm a lot stonger than that old man."*points to Gelweintall*
"What is it, you wanna fight?!" Gelweintall shouts at the girl angrily making ugly faces.
"Now, now.. calm down.."Vinedia tries to calm down Gelweintall.
Gelweintall managed to calm down and Vinedia told Miene that she wanted Miene to be her standard bearer and weapon support which Miene quickly agreed.

After a while of chatting, they departed with each other with Miene making faces to Gelweintall and Gelweintall did the same in response. Vinedia shakes her head watching the childish behaviour.

The next day, Vinedia is visited by an outsider who comes with a small group of soldiers. The person who looks like the group leader is a young man who looks like in the early 20's and wears a one eyed glasses. Gelweintall was so happy to see the person. He introduced Vinedia to the man who indentifies himself as Felimor Leintein. Felimor told Gelweintall that he managed to track Gelweintall and followed him here and said that he wanted to aid Elvennia in preparing for the oncoming invasion. Gelweintall was so happy upon heaing this and told Vinedia that Felimor is a strong fighter and would prove a valuable addition to the force. Felimo faces turned red but then he looks at Gelweintall seriously.

"Sir Gelweintall, I'm so happy that I met you here...but I come here with bad tidings.."
"What bad could happen that you are here?" asked Gelweintall
"Our city...Leintein have fallen to the Calcaem empire.."

Gelweintall was shocked and couldn't say anything....

Well that's all for the stoooory!
*Runs away as usual*
