(The cover is still a rough sketch. I'm an extremely slow artist, so I'll finish it bit by bit before starting the story.)
In the Age of Decline, the "Great Corruption" descended. An ancient kingdom filled with magical power was swallowed whole by a rift into the void, and only Itariel, a descendant of the necromancers, managed to transmigrate through time and escape disaster.
After going through many twists and turns in the new world, she ended up as a decorative ornament at the bottom of a green bath in a Middle Eastern assassin's home (?
As for how this ridiculous situation came about, Itariel could only say that she and that old snake Lars Auger were sworn enemies.
Fortunately, she foresaw that her dormant state had a time limit. All she had to do was wait until some battered little bird was thrown into the pool, and her seal would be broken.
Yeah, about 700 years should do it.
Itariel: I can't even laugh.
[Dying
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.]
- Original protagonist. The setting is based on Garth Nix's Old Kingdom fantasy series. You don't need to have read it to enjoy this. (But if you're interested, let me recommend it: the power system is really cool, and the books are super easy to read.)
- The CP is obviously Jason. The whole reason I wanted to write this was to write someone who could share the process of death itself with Jason and accompany him back to the world of the living.
Theme: Stand on your own two feet.
