Update 2/10: Cyras X Equiroth Story--Soleus, Soleus, Soleus

 So anyway @Regno-Works is currently doing his anniversary for his gryphons. And since I got the crossover soon, let's talk about that. 

For nearly five years, I've got N:Era.

Anyway, so our characters are meeting or crossing over, to fight against Light Menace, who is living in the Superior Heights. Cyras starts some shit and the two fight, but ironically Cyras is an actual divine being while Light probably fancies herself as worthy of divinity. Light Menace wants to protect a "Treasure In the Sky" that belongs to her. Cyras wants a way out, but isn't letting anyone get in her way. 

So with seven different major characters, there's no way to meaningfully represent them all in a 10,000 word novelette. There might be following novelettes, but so far only a sequel has been discussed, but three would make for a trilogy of the Cyras and the Gryphons of Equiroth series. 

This has been in talks for maybe a couple years now as nothing has to be rushed yet. 

But, main goal is, how to represent the right characters. And, the right choices for this entire plot about a Treasure In the Sky was the more fancy and flighty Windspeed and the more sensible and sensitive Hugo. A great importance is the theme of Friendship versus this attraction to Miracles. 

If you went with Robert McKee's theory, the positive is Friendship. The treasure represents the negative of Affectation to Higher Orders, trying to transcend above one's station in a meaningless way. To have accepted oneself is more what Hugo represents. He has no lofty ambitions or dreams.  

So you get Friendship, then the half-step of the negative is Pretentiousness. Affection. And finally, the sacrificing.

Well, while getting a new life is an investment, Light Menace wants that investment to get what is rightly hers. However, she has never actually opened that Treasure In the Sky. 

Now, while Regno-Works has written in his lore, there's plenty to add to for these purposes.We're introducing a race of Tuatara peoples, who are very much into prophecy and believe there will come a time where both Sun and Moon shine at same moment. 

Ironically this means there will be a part of the world that can't see anything for a few hours, lol.

This will have some drawings in the style of Greek Pottery Art. There are prophecy vibes, and chances are some references to Jason and the Argonauts.

While this was plotted before really getting into the Argonauts, that seemed quite appropriate in retrospect to fill the treasure with more elements of the "Golden Fleece", after all. Goulder and Cyras get something of a small fight. 

Cyras' adventures are about how she's already super loyal. Ironically, maybe if she actually thought about herself for once and what she wants, she might Ascend a bit.

Maybe after all, that is her Soleus. Thy Orisons, Ophelia, Ophelia, Ophelia-a-a, will update about Soleus next week at 2/17, Chinese Lunar New Year.
