Working on a 'book' of sorts. A free one, dedicated to all you members of BaltoSource.

Basic overview; The Book "Anayu Caelestis" is about an adventurer that one day comes across a scroll. Within the scroll, he finds a necklace engraved with the words; Anayu Caelestis (Guardian of the Moon). Searching the area, he comes across a ruin temple, containing many intact scrolls about this Guardian. Enthralled by the stories of her, his attention becomes focused on finding this Guardian. Meanwhile, the time of the Caelestis Illumina Maxima, "The Ultimate Lunar Eclipse" closes in on him all too quickly. Will he find the Guardian before the Lunar Eclipse drains away the rest of her life?

Currently, it's in the planning stages, and I'll need beta readers when it's done. I'm going to update this post when I create something new, and it will give a detailed explanation of the languages in the world, the world itself, the different factions, and characters that appears.



Here is an introduction to keep you interested, or make you if you haven't become already =)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody know why we make the decisions we make. All of us know how we make them. None can comprehend the changes our decisions will have in the future. At times we ask ourselves: “Why did this happen to me?” and at times we also say: “I wish that happened to me instead of her.”
Why we think and act like that, nobody knows. This was also a part of Anayu’s life. In a world filled with disaster, her pure heart never fell into this catastrophe. The little child looked around herself, and saw only misery, pain and suffering. One day she left her mother, and ran away. Without care for this world, she fled the town and headed deep into the forest. All alone by herself, the white, shimmering hair waving with the wind, her gray dress ripped and damaged by the nature, she ran, never to look back again. The trees around her had lives of their own, and bowed down towards her, making her flee in even greater terror. They all seemed dead to her. Then she stumbled on some roots, and fell. She landed head-first on the ground, and rolled a few yards forward. She lied still on the ground, not able to suppress her tears. Then she heard a voice, and her eyes widened instantly. She pushed herself up on her elbows and looked forward.
There stood a woman dressed in a black, torn-up dress.
“My dear... come with me.” She said; her voice as soft as silk. Anayu looked at her. Something about this woman was calming, and provided her a feeling of safety. The breeze played with her hair, and she got up on her legs, and walked slowly towards the woman.
But she was gone!

Looking around, a feeling of hopelessness embraced her, and she let her eyelids close halfway. Nobody would miss her, after all. Not a soul...
She closed her eyes and fell backwards, expecting to hit solid ground. Instead, she felt the embrace of water. Not opening her eyes, she sank deeper and deeper into the pool that was not there. She then felt the touch of hands, and she opened her eyes. There was her father, the only one who had ever understood her. He stared at her face, his beard untrimmed, and with eyes blue as the sea itself. His face was like it had been crafted by angels.
Anayu’s eyes were filled with tears again, and she embraced her father, hugging him. Everything exploded into light, and she knew not what was happening. She held on to her father for her dear life. Her eyes turned glazed with white, her hair glowing and growing to an incredible length. She matured suddenly, and her body grew. But none of this could Anayu realize. She sobbed on her father’s shoulder until she could no longer. Then, she felt sight fading from her, physical strength leaving her. Her father slipped out of her embrace, and once again, Anayu sank further down into the pool that was never there. Her sight faded completely, and her heartbeats became fainter. Her eyes glowing, she managed, with all her might, to put her hands together, and the world around her froze instantly. She would be frozen for thousands of years.

The World of Kællyss


The creation of the world has its origins many years back in time. It is said that the planet itself was created by the seven Goddesses of Faith.
The planet was created by the Earthmisstress, Kayleena. She caused a great cataclysm in the empty void, and gathered all her energy into a sphere. That sphere, she infused with life, and it would become the foundation of all that was to live there. She entrapped herself in the planet forever.
The Aquamisstress, Aeliia (also written Ællia in ancient scrolls), landed on the dry and barren planet in person, and saw how wasted this creation was. In her good will, she summoned massive rainstorms, and it flooded the planet, forcing her sister to raise the lands into isles. Ællia rose to the atmosphere, taking her shape as the protective barrier around the planet, wanting to let water fall upon the planet for all eternity while protecting it.
The Wind Queen, Lysia, gave her foundation of life on the planet, blowing her life-giving breath on it, before taking shape as an otter with a black arrow on its head, and white fur. Hiding in a sky tower, she swore to ensure the life of the planet by maintaining the wind currents.
The Lady of Fire, Lyssina, Lysia’s twin, became angry with her sisters’ gifts to the planet, since all she could give, was destruction. In her fury, she dug herself deep into the planet’s core, taking the shape of a fiery orb, raising many volcanoes over the land.
Ynnwia, the Lady of Nature, gave the barren lands of her earthborn sister life, and grew vast forests, and beautiful landscapes. She took the shape of a tree on the top of a great mountain.
Siphera, the lady of Death, took the shape of a Banshee, a woman with pale skin, black hair and a black dress. She chose the reaper as her weapon and took the name; “The Grim Reaper”. She took upon her the task of caring for the deceased ones, while ensuring that the planet survived; by death of its inhabitants.
Finally, Sylvia, the Lifegiver, landed on the planet, and turned herself into a mortal woman. For many years, she gave continuous birth to the humans of the planet. She gave them knowledge, and taught them love. Thousands of years after, she joined Ynnwia in her shape of a tree, and from that tree, all non-human creatures of Kælyss were born. Seventy thousand years later, Sylvia decided to give variety to the inhabitants of the world, and she transformed many of the world’s animals into humanoid beings, with intellect equal to, or even higher, than the humans. Content with her achievements, she went into a deep slumber, only to awake when there is a threat to the world.

This is definitely one I want to read, maybe even beta, especially as soon as I finish Suka's. The plot sounds wonderful so far ^.^

Thank you, Aniu ^^


Post two is updated with the first few points of the World Lore in the book.
