THE HARMONBLADE Primer Before the epic begins... What is a Harmonblade? A Harmonblade is not just a weapon. It's a mythic relic and a concept-a living embodiment of the three great forces of the archipelago: Flame (Suludun: Law, conviction, fire) Flow (Duyanihan: Balance, compassion, tide) Dream (Talabun: Memory, destiny, soul) The Harmonblade is believed to be a lost ancestral weapon, forged not by metalworkers, but by spirit-guides from each of the realms in a time before history. It contains the essence of balance, faith, and fate. Legend holds that: "When the seas boil and the skies divide, one shall come with the blade that binds, not breaks-wielding not power, but harmony." -The Whisper of Three, an oral prophecy known only to the Talabun priestesses.

The god of pestilence and illnesses was banished to the human world. Equipped with no memories of who or what he was, he continued to live in hiding for centuries. For a being who knows not the meaning of death, the value of life is an idea far too abstruse, yet the most uncanny circumstances may prove him wrong. "But... Isn't that impossible?" She blurted out without thinking. He raised a brow at her response. "Getting rid of you, I mean..." This earned another laugh from him. This time, even squeezing out tears of joy which should have been impossible for the man. She stared at him, dumbfounded. "You're right. You won't be able to get rid of me and likewise for me."

❝ Philippine mythology is quite interesting, but besides the usual aswangs and tikbalangs, not a lot of it is known. If you've picked this up with the knowledge of only those creatures, then you'd be surprise at how much we've barely scratched the surface. ❞ ⎯ an informal, but informative take on ph mythology • the tales are rewritten but with the original events unaltered from its sources to the best of the author's abilities. book cover by adlao

I always had these made-up characters in my head for the longest time. I can't remember all of them, but they are buried deep in my thoughts. At some times in a day, faces, and details of the characters I imagined would pop in my head, only for them to vanish again in the next few minutes. There were a lot of them, some I named after songs, some I named after my favorite Apex Legend, some of them are named after poems that I have read...some have blue eyes.. some have red hair.. some can pull big-ass swords out of their sweater holes.. and some can turn invisible but only when someone's not looking (trust me, I come up with such random characters with silly powers) Now, I'm writing this short novel, hoping that I could give justice to these characters. To give them life.. to give them a voice.. a passion.. a lover.. and a reason for being created. I don't want them caged in my head. I always took inspiration from Quentin Tarantino's works, and I am hoping to navigate in the same direction as him, though I am in a completely different vessel, far smaller than his. But it's always good to start with something. If you guys have read The Copper Gauntlet and The Magician, you can tell that I took inspiration from those two books as well. I always fancied teenage people having magical powers in a modern setting (like David Stutler in the Sorcerer's Apprentice film back in 2010). Now, I take you to the story of Aloy, a normal teenage boy, who finds himself snared between factions with roots in Philippine folkore.. This story is still a work in progress, and it's not perfect. And yes, the cover image needs some re-work, I bought it online, from one of those Facebook groups for writers.. I'm hoping to get a digital artist soon and to use this platform as a way to eventually publish this book. Again, what you're reading now, and what you're about to read next isn't perfect. But I hope you'll still enjoy it nevertheless.

Story Summary Everything in Lira's small town was calm and predictable - until the day Kael arrived. He stood out immediately: tall, handsome, with features so different from everyone else, and those unusual brown eyes that made neighbors whisper that he must be from abroad or from a wealthy family far away. He enrolled in the same high school as Lira, but he never joined groups, never spoke much, and always seemed to be watching everything from a distance. Lira was curious about him, and one afternoon, when she found him sitting alone by the old riverbank, she gathered the courage to speak to him. That simple meeting started a quiet, beautiful friendship that quickly turned into something deeper. Kael had never felt so understood, so safe - Lira didn't care where he came from or how different he looked; she only saw the kind, lonely boy inside. For the first time, Kael allowed himself to forget the danger that followed him. He fell deeply in love with her, and she with him - a sweet, pure teenage romance full of secret walks, shared smiles, and quiet moments under the sun. But the truth could not stay hidden forever. Kael belongs to the oldest vampire bloodline in Europe - the only ones gifted by ancient magic to walk in daylight. Every other vampire in the world fears the sun, and for generations, they have hunted his family to steal their power. Now, they have tracked him to this small town. They want his blood, because drinking it will make them invincible - able to move anytime, anywhere, with no weakness, no fear of light. When Lira finally learns the truth - that the boy she loves is not just mysterious, but carries a secret that could get both of them killed - she is scared... but she does not turn away. She realizes that their love is not just a sweet teenage romance; it is a battle. Kael is not just hiding from enemies; he is protecting the last of his kind, and protecting *her* from the darkness that hunts him.
