It is a big sign of inescapable danger and the usual image of hell but.... does darkness would always mean trap? would hell always mean danger? Well, the world may be full of darkness but danger is something more than it, the world is even one big danger with or without the light that we always consider as a safe haven and the hell that we always do fear isn't the real fear here in reality. As a family known inside this forest that spreads darkness every night, any type of danger is already a common threat; folklores, myths and black magic has been told for protection but the ones exposed in this threatening danger is the Libulan family themselves and no folklores can change how close they are to risk.

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld. Credits for the cover go to an absolutely amazing cover artist and fellow writer Narcisse Navarre @InkSorcery. The Prophecy of Water is ONLY available on Wattpad.
