Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Rising and setting, back to back
Sunrises and sunsets, two sides of a coin
One watches the world awaken with a “hello”
The other says “goodbye” to the world as it slumbers
A gentle touch of pink,
Spreading across a dull blue sky,
The sun peeps over the horizon,
A glowing gold, shifting across the sky,
Hello, hello
Watching the sun rise from a dormitory roof,
Taking pictures of the quiet world,
A happy memory of the dawn,
Violet shades and periwinkle colours,
Fade away into brighter flames,
Orange, red, pink; set sparks to the west,
The flames are chased by night-time colours,
Goodbye, goodbye,
Gazing into the sunset,
Relaxing, breathing, unwinding,
A new photo added to the album,
Meetings and partings, two sides of a coin
Back to back, the new page uncovered,
Many reunions and blessed memories,
Stored in this little sunrise and little sunset.

Prologue: Collected Miscellany
Pre-reading Note: This prologue has been written by C.X.K.
C.X.K's Note: So closes the setting of reality and so does the spider weave its webs of lies. For those who can see, they will know that The Truth is twisted, they will know about the Web of Lies. History be twisted, truth be changed and above all reality is what I manipulate it to be.
Erayith, home to the two major nations, whereover Gods extend their rule over the nations and protect their peoples using the power bestowed upon them. In the perpetual meantime of an eternity under the sheltered world lying under the watchful eyes of the gods, most eagerly live, without dreaming. Ambition is the driving force, but without dreaming nothing is achievable. In the cyclical lives of the mundane, people could afford to live a fruitless life. Chasing nothing but the butterflies of what they call hope and faith.
Co-existing, living together, Erayith was such a place. Special like no other world as it was capable of housing many lifeforms, dimensions could exist unimpeded, hidden amongst the mortals of the waking world. In the world, spectacular phenomena often happen; spellcasting and magic. The ability to create the supernatural and the unreal, the very allowance for these to be able to manifest in the world was all part of gods’ imposed laws. The humans named this mystical working, giving it the name of maegenic.
Those humans, just like all other humans, lived by the settlement they were confined to, chained to the toiling ground that they first set foot on. But not all of them are bound in such a way; there grew those who dare to wander the lands. The Wayfarers who see themselves praised and admired throughout the lands, yet alone without ally as they explore the uncharted lands, alone. Like travellers, the Wayfarers do not live long in one place, instead moving from one place to another. Yet this constant nomadic lifestyle can be appreciated by the crowd but only a minority can transition from typical lifestyles to this. Such is the same with maegenic, the majority of people possess maegenic in some shape or form, but only a select few may learn to wield maegenic.
Even fewer may seek to understand its profound secrets, to dissect and truly unlock the truth of the world Erayith. For it is thought that maegenic holds the key; the ultimatum to unlocking what Erayith hides. But really, who can ascertain for sure what maegenic truly is? When asked, all that The Gods said was: “Defying fate and changing reality, those wishes ascertain an answer: maegenic. That which creates transformation, changes that which is unideal and corrects the erroneous faults of the imperfect.”
