Town of the Will-o'-the-Wisps, 20 Towns Apart From Our Own

[chriswelleran]

New project, 20 towns apart from our own, about a hunter/traveler and later a sylph as well, kind of a fantasy travelogue.

[chriswelleran]

This is it, the finale of Tales of the Akashic, the adventures of Jason and Isabel are at an end, its been years since I wrote this as a novel, a year since I turned it into a visual novel (kinetic novel), and now its a series of videos, lots of mixed feelings every step of the way but creating it has been fun and fulfilling, to all those who happen to watch it, I hope you enjoy it!

[chriswelleran]

These four stories are like a final countdown towards the finale 4 Isabel on the case 3 Jonah summons a new friend 2 Chief Long does some crowd work 1 Jason sees Simon's home field advantage 0

[chriswelleran]

Due to being a flashback, this is probably the only other part of the story (except the first) that could understandably be viewed as a stand alone piece. The other parts either building on this or the first part. Its also super angsty.

Doesn't appear in the vn but here is a sketch of Bai Ze, the figure which described the group of creatures to the king which would be collected in the Bai Ze Tu. I guess as an aside (Pertaining to Tales of the Akashic) after part 2 you have had at least an introduction to all the characters and the 'magic book' they are borrowing power from. Jason is aided by Camazotz, a figure who is written about in the Popul Vuh, the Popul Vuh is a book of Mayan mythology and not a grimoire or collection of monsters like the source of inspiration for some of the other characters but I digress. Isabel has the Necronomicon, not a mythological reference but a reference to Lovecraft's weird tales, acting as kind of a representative for the pulp story (likewise pulp antecedents) which are a main inspiration for muh writing. Xiao has the Bai Ze Tu, and the antagonist summons demons from the Dictionnaire Infernal. Also Simon is a necromancer.
