That's some pretty good writin'! It makes me want to know more about Zandar's firm. In an office building? 29th floor? A mongoose secretary?

There's a large portion of Zandar's life in modern times which is currently a blank. I had an idea that she was a consulting bodymage (most of the locals think she's a high-priced hooker), but I did not think that she was operating so openly. Obviously the office must be a cover for her REAL work ... this is interesting ... it might be useable later in the Saga. We should definitely stay in touch.

Thank you for the compliment. I don't really fancy myself to be any sort of writer of great skill. I do wish I was much better at it personally as it would be something to my liking to actually flesh out more as to who the skunk named Asphyxia is and how she came to be the person that she is and where she may be going. Eventually these details will see the light and will hopefully be documented and shared once they come to me.

This little inspired story piece I drummed up within a few hours after I first saw your finished product of my commission. It was as if it beckoned me to give some sort of narration to the scene taking place. So I rolled it over in my mind while at work and then started typing it out once I got home. Also, this is the very first time I've ever posted any such idea publicly.

I basically started without any introductions as if one caught Asphy in the middle of a story already in progress and ran from there. So with no backstory it would be able to stand on its own just enough to entertain the reader/viewer and leave them wondering at the end as to what would occur next in the story.

When I saw how business smart Zandar was dressed I immediately pictured her in an office of some sort nestled high in a city tower building. The office happens to be a corner suite with a breath taking view of the city. Something I felt that Zandar would love in having such a great overview of the city below.

There's much more to the office than just where Zandar's secretary, the mongoose sits and Zandar's office, but it wasn't necessary to place that in the above story. So she does have others that work for her and tend to more of the business aspects of her firm and I have yet to give the mongoose a name. Again because she was just there for the moment to fill a needed role in the story to help move it along. She serves that role very well for her boss and knows a lot more about Zandar than Asphy and the reader knows.

I chose law for Zandar's firm because in the modern era I figured that would be a powerful occupation and tool for Zandar to be a part of and use to further her goals. Especially since she is very quick to learn and study new information as shown in your original tale of Zandar's Saga where she diligently absorbs all there was to know about magic and the arcane arts.

Just what it is exactly that Zandar has plotted out in the modern day is still a mystery and at this point only information known to her alone. As to why there's an interest in Asphyxia is also known to her alone. It must be something of great importance as in the story the reader is led to believe that Zandar has been searching this time period in the hopes of finding her. It appears that Zandar has finally found who she was looking for in the story. Where this all leads is again still a big mystery.

I'm flattered you like it and thank you for the kind words. Perhaps I should add more to this just to see where it leads. =)

Now this is interesting. Already we have two mysteries: who Asphyxia really is, and what does Zandar have in store for her. I definitely would love to read more about this.

This story and your writing skill both have a lot of promise. I look forward to seeing what other stories you have planned :)

Wow.. now this one happened to be an interesting read. Mainly because the first paragraph caught my attention by hitting extremely close to home: Being on a job hunt. If that's not the most realistic and yet underused theme in a story then I don't know what is.

I was hooked by the opening and where it was leading. Getting a job interview after so long. Sure one might have the requirements, but it was always that nervous feeling of somehow botching the interview despite how qualified you can be. Add to that the fact it was raining and yet she's still trying her hardest to get optimism and not let it ruin her job opportunity, as it always seems like everything weather wise happens the day of the interview.

That wins heart right there in a story as most..including myself, can say "yeah...I've been there. I've had that day."


Upon entering the office was a regular scene that we had the misfortune of being at. Someone ahead of us not being scheduled and still trying to barge their way in, or that one cranky customer, or employee that has to be there and raising a fuss while you're trying to just get in and get hired. I think the realistic situation in here happens to be a really good part of the story. I know it's just a simple interview but it's being played out to me as a situation I think I might have been in myself and that's scary- but in a good way scary. Makes it ridiculously easy to follow and identify with the character when you know you can put yourself in her shoes...if you haven't worn them already.


Perhaps it's because I don't know about the characters too well (First time coming to your gallery here) so I'm not too sure about the significance of the halo and all. However, I like how it's being discussed as it's something only certain people can see, and has some importance to it due to the color and slant.



Personally speaking, I happened to like this myself.

I know this is a bit more lengthy then what you're used to and that this was uploaded long..long ago. I kind of searched your gallery and found this was what was made yourself and not a commission.


Just made the most sense to common on.
