Hey! Not sure if you're really active or interested in MTAP anymore but I just finished reading The Knight's Passage prologue and I was wondering if there's likely to be an update at any time in the future? I really enjoyed it!
oh wow! i really didn’t think anyone kept reading it let alone like it, i’m not the greatest at writing so im not crazy confident in my writing work. though definitely my love for the story doesnt go anywhere, i still have plans in the future for it since my favourite oc’s stem from this story! just hoping to make it into a comic instead, so hopefully i can get to a point in my art and writing where i can make it happen, so it’s definitely not gone forever but theres no set date sorry! but any future updates you’ll definitely see it on this blog!
hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, had the random urge to sketch some headshots of some mtap characters along with my forgotten mtap oc’s, missed them a lot more than I thought I would
Some character introduction of my favourite boys from my mtap au!

About Cyrus
Cyrus is the child of Maya and Aadit. Since birth, Cryus has been affectionate and loving, attributes he gets from his mother, Maya. Cyrus is also very curious and has a great love for adventure, traits given to him by his father, Aadit. Cyrus is recklessly fearless, a fighter, and a hard worker. Cyrus at a young age was a bright, happy child who enjoyed talking with the locals, but as he aged, he began to keep to himself, buried deep in his findings, and instead could usually be found reading or writing in his notebook. Cyrus' relationship with Aadit after his disappearance, grew bitter as he saw the effect it had on his mother as he aged.
Cyrus always had a keen sense of wanting to travel, to see more of the world outside of Portia. At 15 years old, Cyrus decided to start working at the Research Center to learn more about the world around him. Cyrus can always be found carrying a notebook holding scattered pieces of scriptures. Scriptures filled with information of cities and legends about the old and present world.
From Cyrus' constant search for knowledge, he began to do more research on his father, on the state of Duvos, and the world outside the Alliance of Free Cities. Cyrus with his findings began to grow a reckless desire to find his father, not only for himself, but for the sake of his mother's closure and the closure that she never received.
Cyrus, when turning nineteen, finally makes the decision to look for his father, Aadit. With all his findings and research, Cyrus is led to a hidden village in the desert ruins of Ethea, near the borders of where both Barnarock and Highwind connect. There Cyrus meets Naati, the prince of Laa’son. Naati being enamored by Cyrus decides to tag along with him in his journey to find his father.
About Naati
Residing in Laa’son, Naati is one of the few remaining native Etheanians along with his sister and grandfather. Flamboyant in nature, Naati is also charismatic and pesky, he enjoys to play tricks but as well loves getting the best out of people. Naati frequently wanders off the bounds of Laa'son. Aside from being mischievous and creating trouble, Naati on his free time enjoys going into disguise when outside Laa'son. When wandering outside Laa'son he likes going to other small towns and pubs to preform magic and trick shows with his pet guardian, Nagi, a Maned Wolf.
Naati is the Prince of Laa'son but does not worry about the future of the throne since Yaala, his older sister, is next in line. As much as Naati and Yaala love pestering each other they have a close and loving bond. Yaala is the Princess and future Queen of Laa’son, while Yaatu is currently in throne.

Had so much fun working on this mtap au scene I did with Aadit, Maya and Cyrus. It was so nice to finally draw the family all together
A little more story context under keep reading! (spoilers)
I’ve been wanting to draw the family together so bad, especially a scene where Cyrus is older. This scene takes place after Aadit returns from his 12 year hideout in Duvos. After Cyrus’ long journey in searching for his father through the plains of Ethea, Aadit is forced to flee Duvos with Cyrus due to an injury that threatened Cyrus’ life. With Aadit and Cyrus barely escaping Duvos, Aadit comes to the realization that he can’t continue running from the chains of his past. Aadit has no option, now that the Duvos Division leader knows he’s escaped and is reunited again with his family, Aadit knows that every minute he stays away from Duvos is a minute closer to his families demise. Aadit finally chooses to face the man who has ruined him in hopes to finally free himself. With everything Maya has dealt with she won’t accept losing Aadit again. Fueled with anger and vengeance, both Maya and Cyrus join Aadit in finally defeating the same enemy that has destroyed both their family and Aadit’s life.
I love my boys, I definitely ended up working on this more than I was planning, but It was nice to finally draw out this mtap au scene that’s been stuck in my head, hope you guys enjoy my little au piece. If there’s any other questions about my mtap au, my ask is always open and I am always happy to answer!
A small AU crossover I did with @mtaptime builder OC. Aadit is both our main guy but in this case for the crossover she’d be with mint in my AU and I would be with Arlo in hers
Wanted to share some early face references I worked on of Maya, Aadit, and Cyrus when I first started building my MTAP AU world
Some AU story stuff under read more! (potential spoilers??)
I’ll try to make this short but overall my AU story involves, Maya, who is Aadit’s wife, and Cyrus, who is his and Maya’s son (my baby i lov him). This AU goes with the theory that Aadit is the Rouge Knight and the whole RK event takes place when Cyrus is just 4 years old. The AU story deals with Cyrus when he is older, his journey and how he grows and learns to deal with his fathers absence. Like his father he has a love for the old world, which leads him to work at the research center. From this, Cyrus grows a desire for exploration and adventure and by the time he turns 20, he decides to travel in hopes to see more of the world but mainly to find his missing father, Aadit. Cyrus decides to go visit family in Barnarock but then decides to take a detour from Barnarock to Ethea to reach Duvos, where he’s hoping his father will be. In his adventures he comes across a secret village in the Ethea dessert called Laa’son and he meets Naati, who is part of the hierarchy in charge of the village. Naati ends up tagging along in Cyrus’ travels and ends up helping him find his father.
There’s a lot more to the story but I don’t want to write an essay lmao. There’s also still much to be fully covered since we don’t have enough LORE specifics for my boy Aadit, so I’m still missing parts, mainly on why the hell he would try to kill Maya in the rouge knight final battle (wtf Aadit). Anyways I love my OC’s and writing stories but I have to stop cause I’m writing this at goddamn 4 in the morning cause I love tormenting myself.
I’m always open to answer questions about my AU/OC’s so I’ve opened my ask box in case anyone’s interested in asking anything. I also have a ton of Cyrus/Naati sketches but I’m still debating whether to share them or not since these are my own OC’s in the MTAP universe and not actual canon characters. I love writing about my stories. I would write more but I don’t think I’m really good at it so I just keep my AU story files hidden in my computer :((
