Lumiel's Promise

by seinka

Tiamat was defeated and her forces all but destroyed. But things are far from calm. Beritra still holds Sillus fortress and Chellia is his prisoner once again. This time, she has the Hyperion. Shien has to face the consequences of her battle with the Balaur. And the Empyrean lords must keep their lands stable and protect the new Lady of Life. Seventh (last) of The Godstone Tales.

So, it's the end.

Yes, The GodStone Tales is officially over.

I know, it took way too long. And I'm sorry about that. I'll try to do better, next time I start writing something this long.

Together these stories have about 230 pages, I really didn't expect that, when I started writing. Yes, I didn't plan everything ahead. At first, it was an idea:

"Can I write a romantic story with Lord of Destruction as a main character?"

So I tried and surprise, it worked. I had trouble to find suitable ending, I didn't want the lived happily ever after version, so... I did what I did. And then it occurred to me:

"Oh, hey, I can write a sequel!"

But the real planning about the series came with Nezekan's Judgement, with introduction of Chellia. You know, once I read that Triniel and Nezekan had an affair, so I had a brilliant idea to give them a child. Few hours later I found out they already had one! Kahrun! I spent whole day trying to figure out what to do and then I was just like: "Nah, I'll give him a sister."

And yeah, some things there were too overcombined and suffered from early release – next time I'll write something, I'll write it all before publishing, because even most innocent remarks can be huge obstacle in the future. I had to often reread earlier versions, because I simply didn't remember all necessary details. Like Triniel's hair, for example. It was also funny, that the appearance of the Empyrean lords was released in the middle of my writing. Bye, bye, Lumiel and your golden hair.

OK, enough rant.

I'm sure you noticed the story ended kind of cliffhanger-ish. And you might be asking, what happens next.

Well...

It's not such a secret.

Upheaval! (Aion 4.8)

Yes. The big KABOOOM. The story returned to the lore. With few changes, of course, like new names of two Empyrean ladies or much less hostility between Asmodian and Elyos. But Enshar, Cygnea are waiting! As well as the secret buried in Drakenspire Depths.

Fly, valiant daevas! Towards new adventures! ONWARDS!

Take care.

PS:

Big thanks to everyone, who has read the series and through increasing numbers of views helped me convince myself, that the writing still has a meaning.

Special thanks to those, who wrote me reviews, or told me their opinions. They were much appreciated and motivated me to finish this.

So, yeah, thank you. :)
