Hello!
You've probably had fun evolving a character, got emotional following his story and rooted for everything to work out. Well, me too! All the emotions I felt while reading a certain novel were, basically, the trigger I needed to put on paper a story that had been with me for a long time. I want to show that Lumi, who I admit has a bit of me, of how I was, will need much more than just effort to win. I want this story to cause as many emotions as I felt, from beginning to end. A world where magic can create and destroy, save or kill, disappear or emerge has mysteries, some that can be understood, deciphered, others... It's not because someone is born without power that they will never have the chance to use it, or possess unusual energy that is incapable of losing it. Lumi understands that having a group is inevitable, that bonding needs to happen, but his evolution and destiny place him under the reflection of his own blood power. Like it or not, he chose to walk this path, where not even the natural flow of mana makes sense.
