Smolder in the Afterglow | Tales of Luminozenko

Glossary

Do not believe the telltales. Behind the veils of light, something lurks in the shadows. The demons and the vessels they dwell in that never were once washed out, clawing their ways to spread their blight.

Then again, I did say to not believe the whispers. Not even my very words and those written in books. Not everything is what they seem.

Oh, I must get going. I am a very busy person with all those waiting for me to guide their souls.

But before anything, Greetings, the Goddess of Space welcomes you to Luminozenko, a world wherein people—Feralis' lives circle with magic, given by us Gods whom they descended from.

I shall bid you goodbye, for now, and we the Gods bless your journey.

GLOSSARY

1. Ancient Runes: Ancient Runes are usually used in making Portals and magic tools or devices. The most common examples of those tools are the bracelets that knights and those with money use, and custom-made weapons. Casting runes requires magic and time to get the perfect measurements/alignment of the characters. Most of the people who cast them are Magic Engineers, also known as Sorcerers and Sorceresses, inventing and building things that are powered by magic. Everything needs to be precise and in order to do all that, one must be fluent in the ancient language of Luminozenko, that is Lumaniazeia.

2. Arkamis: are the Gods, Goddesses, or Deities and the givers of elements to all the living beings of Luminozenko. They fall into two categories: the Greater Arkamis and the Lesser Arkamis, respectively.

• The Greater Arkamis consist of four Gods known to be the very ones to create Luminozenko and the roots of Feralis and where the people of this world get their unique features from, and they are:

➊ Faenice (the Phoenix) – the God of Air, Wind, Sky, Forests, and Plants. A man with a pair of black feathered wings that let him soar to the vast skies and hair of the same color. His glowing eyes are said to have the colors of the forest.

➋ Sierpenti (the Dragon) – the God of Water, Ice, and Oceans. A man with a tail and fins that made him faster than anyone in the waters and blue scales that glistened with his every movement, as well as gills to make him breathe underwater. His hair and glowing eyes are said to have the shades of the ocean.

➌ Levio (the Lion) – the God of Fire, Light, Sun, and Lightning. A man with lion-like ears on top of his hair that seems like the blazing sun, and a tail behind him. His eyes are said to have shined like melted gold.

➍ Lupos (the Wolf) – the God of Land, Stone, Metal, Gems, and Mountains. A man with wolf-like ears on top of his hair as white as snow, and a rather fluffy tail behind him. His eyes are said to have shined like the amethysts found in his mountains.

• The Lesser Arkamis consist of two Goddesses, which are said to be children of the Greater ones, whom they blessed and favored, and ascended to immortality and to their side to look over Luminozenko. As said, they can also give people other kinds of magic, and unique features. They are:

➊ Zunar – the Goddess of Time, Order, Balance, and Neutrality. A woman with silvery white hair and glowing eyes of the same shade.

➋ Sinalid – the Goddess of Fate, Destiny, Love, Healing, and Fortune. A woman with unruly hair as red as blood and glowing blue eyes.

• But there are telltales that the Lesser Arkamis were supposed to be three.

3. Watchers: A device made out of glass in the shape and size of a tennis ball. Watchers are tools powered by magic, and because of that they can float around and are used to record images and voices to keep track of events happening in real time. All records would be sent to the main device that was in the hands of the owner or controller. It can also store recorded images and voices and be replayed as a photographic projection or hologram. It can also be used for holographic calls.

The order of the concepts is not chronological or alphabetical, and other concepts are to be added as the tale unfolds.
