To get me started with this fiction art blog thing, I thought I’d use something inspired from someone. In my school, I have a friend that had to act in a play for her Social Studies class. She explained to me (in detail) how their play was going to work, the characters, the setting, and everything else. It all absolutely fascinated me, and the story had been lingering in the back of my mind since. Seeing that it was from a few months back, I might’ve forgotten a few details (whoops).

Anyways, let me tell you about my perception of Adatha. She has light, brown hair (I unfortunately coloured it inaccurately in the above photo) and hazel eyes (I’m sorry but I’m not fond of drawing eyes), and she absolutely loves to read and write. She would often leave her house and sneak out to find open and unoccupied fields so she may read and think in solitude. She has two elder brothers and a younger sister. As an Athenian, she longs for adventure, which she thought she was never going to get until she met Ericius.

What time is it?

Most things are forgotten over time. Even the war itself, the life-and-death struggle people went through is now like something from the distant past. We're so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past are no longer in orbit around our minds. There are just too many things we have to think about everyday, too many new things we have to learn. But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever, like a touchstone. -Haruki Murakami
