Meet the Sorceress

“Say what you have to say, then get out of my face”, is probably the impression you get from this girl’s stare when you meet her for the first time.

Kirisawa Reika, an orphan before she even reaches 5 years old, is a human mage prodigy raised by the elves of Highborne after her parents’ tragic death. The elves took her in since she got no other relatives to do so, and the fact that she holds a terrifying power potential also caused her being alienated out of jealousy and fear by her own race. Thus she never really bothered being sociable to them in return.

As the only magister magi candidate with no partner, she became a master of Fire elements and Highborne elven magic, earning the title of “Infernal Eraser”. Stubborn, hot-headed, and reckless in nature, her blazing heterochromatic eyes show all but mercy to her opponents in battle. But even the fire goddess who is said to be able to bring down an entire battleship fleet by herself has some sensitive traits that make her seem quite childish; she is known to be defenseless in front of kittens for one, and don’t you even dare make a joke about her small chest.

Time goes by in her trials of solitude, trusting no other human but herself. Eventually she has to face the truth about who she really is, the reason behind her orphan status, and the ordeals it will bring. Inevitably, the ministry of magic has no choice but not to allow her to travel alone anymore.

She has refused every offer of partner candidates, and not a single bodyguard assigned by the ministry lasted longer than a month. She claimed them to be ‘useless insensitive robots’. Throughout those hassles, she’s still secretly digging out more out of her past connected to the magic world.

As her journey progresses and most of her secrets revealed, she became more aware of the loneliness in her solitude, yet decided to conceal it even deeper. But a blademaster she met on her travel back to her hometown in Japan saw through it, so he arranged with her local supervisor to assign his own apprentice to be her ‘temporary bodyguard’ as long as she is there; ignoring massive protests from the apprentice who had accidentally got on her bad side before, and a blazing refusal – literally - from Reika herself.

And so their story begins…

Poetic Exhibition

Ok, I might carve utter disbelief upon your mind, but I wrote a love poem today.

You wanna see? Well, here goes

It’s been years since we first met
Since all those time that we have spent
All the while, I thought you were just a friend
Now I realize you are something more instead

The beaming light from your smile, so fair
The radiant presence of you fills the air
You’re always there for me whenever I wish
This bond we share shall never perish

You are the chime of warm breeze,
The moon that glows through the trees
And within the luster of evening
Your aura echoes in the surrounding

Some say perfection is unattainable
For most things that's explainable,
But in your arms and with your heart's affection
I have found a brief moment of perfection

Time has healed our many wounds,
But has not erased the memory of us
But we'll hold on, we'll stay together
We will get through this, you and me forever

You always understand me truly
I wish we could be together completely
But it is a transient dream went cold
For we came from completely different world

However, the fact remains that this feeling is true
I can’t even find any further reason to argue
That I’m in love with you for real
Claes Cobaltine, my dear

Well, this is actually an improvement from a poem that I wrote for my novel (which is quite to my liking), but I modified it to be used in a movie which me and my friends are planning to make. I changed the name that comes in the last line so that it meets the requirement.

Oh, and for your information; Claes Cobaltine, or in short, Cobalt, is the full name of my computer.

We are not Venom

I bet you all know Venom and/or Carnage from Spiderman right?

Well, I'm planning to make another symbiotic alien character just like them, fusing itself to its host, giving the host several abilities, capable of forming some kind of body armor while giving the host significant increase to physical attributes, etc2.

Of course, the body armor form won't look this hideous (although it's able to, especially in its more demonic forms)

But it'll be black too, nevertheless.

It will start as an evil character, being an exile from it's planet, until it fuses with another character of mine - my novel's main character - and starts to value other lifeforms.

It also has a mind of its own, interacting with the host, blocking harmful objects reflexively, even popping out unexpectedly just for its own amusement.

Even though I've figured out what kind of abilities and drawbacks it will provide, I still got no fixed name for it, I'm thinking of Kael'loran for the time being. If I can't find anything better, I'll go with that.
