Mahingga

FULL STORY IS UPLOADED. Free to read
After his brother is taken, Ako hesitantly teams up with a foreign girl to go save him from a continent of warring nations. Once there, he learns that his family's technology could be the key to not only saving his brother, but his entire island nation.

This story came to me shortly after returning to America. I'd just been living in the Philippines and found something magical and beautiful there.

Most of the names of people and locations originate from Filipino words in the Tagalog language.

For example, Mahingga, the name of the of the island where the story starts, means "rest" in Tagalog.

I wanted to the story to be funny and adventurous with a sense of wonder.

I hope you enjoy the story, and I'm happy to hear any feedback.
