APPRECIATION

I've said this a millionth time by now to every one of you but this is a big thank you and the hardest goodbye I'm going to write to all of you for now. Thank you for taking your time out and giving this series a chance. Every comment and vote that you have given meant so much to me and they were the motivation for me to always be better in writing so that I can present the story in its best form to all of you readers. I received many encouragements, praises and constructive criticisms along the way that helped me developed this story into the shape it is today. 

Here's a warm hug and all my love to you readers. Thank you and a million thank you still wouldn't be enough. 

ABOUT THIS STORY

My inspiration in my writing is always to live all the different lives through all my characters. I'm not a perfect human being and neither were my characters. But they were versions of myself that I wished I could be and it was something that hurts and heal — for all that I am and all that I am not. That's why I write. I write to leave pieces of myself with every character that I'm too afraid to tell others in full and this was my way of being a genuine and vulnerable human being. 

Another fun fact, all the kingdoms were created as a mish-mash of all the countries I would love to travel to (or travelled to). Thethia has strong Western/European culture; Iftia was based on all the dream-like Scandinavian/Nordic countries that I have yet had the chance to travel to; Rivia was an assemblage of Arabian/Indian cultures that fascinated me all along. Actually, there was supposed to be a fourth kingdom which mirrors my culture, the Eastern/Asian cultures. However, I found no point in complicating the story by bringing in another place and set of characters. If you realised, I had a total of 28 characters in this series and at some time, I felt like I was going crazy with the multiple personalities I had to possess myself with in order to write. 

Anyways, here's a list that I wrote while I was writing the series:

My Favourites
Kingdom: Rivia 
Dynamic Duo: Thunder and Arell 
Couple: Rowan and Elianna (of course, right?) 
Twist: Elizabeth
Tragedy: Kynthia and Izekiel 
Character: Jason
Short Story: Veilstein Manor (Jason and Nadia) 

goodbye for now and i hope we meet again soon!
