Meet the
characters
Meet Emerald
Daughter of the legendary Lux Sensei, Emerald has a lot on her shoulders. Growing up without her father from age six until now has worn on her self-confidence. She is adventurous at heart with a hint of rebelliousness. She is always caught by her mother or grandmother sneaking out of the Light Walker Camp to explore the mysterious Forbidden Forest.
Just 18 years old, she is thrown into a pivotal decision – to leave the forest to save a mysterious voice (Kilian) yelling for help, which is greatly forbidden, or let the savage Equinoi tear him apart.
Meet Grummel
One of the undying Montes Giants. Transformed into rock giants by the Almighty based on their ego and pride - every Montes's stature is in proportion to their pride. Grummel is made of boulders from the upper mountain. He is the smallest of the Montes, but also the wisest. Having known Emerald’s Father, Sensei Lux, Grummel is drawn to her journey. His wisdom is evident, but his humility and joy make him almost childlike.
Meet Kilian
Coming from the Desert of Setra in the west and the son of the leader of the Tenshi Clan, Kilian is not a warrior but has a brave and endearing heart. His quirky sense of humor and big mouth often gets him into trouble. He is torn by a secret he keeps, but at the same time, he is drawn to Emerald’s adventurous spirit and drive to follow the Almighty’s ways. He wants the best for her, but is torn by the secret he keeps inside.
Meet The Kubu People
Protectors of the Almighty's creation, the Kubu People hold a unique magic that keeps them and the creation safe. Cute and wholesome, but deadly at the same time.
Meet kage
21 years old, Kage was once a loyal and strong follower of the Almighty's ways and an integral part of the Light Walker Clan. After a horrible turn of events, Kage's heart grew bitter and cold. Kage blamed the Almighty for all her losses and turned from Him and her people. The Dark Whisper beckoned her to follow it, promising power and strength. Although she has been missing for years now...
