Every Sunday I run a Special relating to my writing endeavours and the world of Aeyuu, which is the stage for many stories developed further through the Tales from Aeyuu Patreon. These Blogs are closely tied with my novel-to-be, The Age of Silence, which is basically a story about Love, Sacrifice, and Death.
This Sunday, I'll be delving into main protagonist Aneskia's race, the Syrilae - specifically, into the life of Nefahtil's mother and grand-mother.
Important terms in a nutshell
Syrilae - A race of Elves with tremendous magical powers. It is cultural belief among Syrilae that they cannot exist without an Ansai serving as catalyst for the Aberviohn's power.
Ansai - A term roughly translating as 'leader'. The Ansai is a Syrilae born to a unique legacy within the race, whose very life is tied in with the Aberviohn's lives.
Aberviohn - Glowing crystal blue trees that surround the Syrilae's native Village, located in the Ghostlight forest. They possess a certain sentience and innate power, and are revered as guardians by the Syrilae.
Adelouhn was Sorasiehn's own mother. All Syrilae who have met her remember Adelouhn as a thoroughly kind-hearted, loving woman; all criminals who have encountered her on her travels remember Adelouhn as a strong warrior, proficient with sword and tactics - a woman capable of making heads roll, but who always seemed to choose honour and second chances over heartless justice.
Little is known and remembered of this great Ansai, who spent the majority of her life in the outside world, pursuing crime and helping Humans wherever she might go. Only when the day came that she was with child did Adelouhn return home, there to stay with her daughter for a long time. Having never had a chance to spend time with her own parents, Adelouhn wanted to treasure thes emoments, and to be the mother she had never known.
But the call of justice was strong in her heart, so that one day she decided it was time for her to leave again. On that day Sorasiehn, now a young adult, decided to follow her mother into the world.
Adelouhn did hesitate to take her daughter along, but Sorasiehn refused to be left behind. It was clear that she'd follow, whatever Adelouhn might say - and it was safer to know where she was at all times. So, Adelouhn accepted.
Watching her mother help the weak and downtrodden, Sorasiehn's heart slowly turned sour. She did not understand why her mother expended so much energy, so much kindness, towards creatures that Sorasiehn deemed too lazy and greedy to even try and help each other, let alone themselves. With time, she started to resent her mother's view of justice, and these Humans she seemed to prefer to her own kin.
The day that Humans killed Adelouhn, Sorasiehn's resentment turned to hate.
With the newly awakened Ansai powers boiling in her veins, Sorasiehn killed her mother's murderers. With hatred burning in her heart and grief guiding her hand, she took to wandering the Human lands, fighting crime wherever she might find it - for the sake of hatred and vengeance.
It would be a long time until anything - or, rather, anyone, would worm their way into her heart again...
And that is all for Adelouhn and Sorasiehn. I am currently writing Sorasiehn's life, with 60 pages of stories completed but not yet edited. I need to find the time, and mind, to do so. So, if you're at all interested in these characters, please let me know. I'd kill for feedback right now. x.x
