Project Summary

Algelic's comment on my previous post made me realize that I failed to condense my project plan into one summary post, so here it is!

Title:
Deeper than the Sky

Summary:
Van had his duties, Hitomi had her life; the single moment had become memory. Ten years later, they receive a second chance to understand the true meaning of the fate they chose, for both Gaea and their future. (series continuation)

Theme Song (lol):
"Into the Light," from Escaflowne OST 3

There's elements of politics, drama, action, and of course, lots of romance. <3 I've planned for 21 chapters, but that number might change depending on how it goes.

The following is from ch 3. Sapphirefly had liked it, so it's probably a good glimpse paragraph into my storytelling, although it doesn't touch any plot point.

Van tossed the last sheaf of papers across the table and reached absentmindedly for his cup. The tea was down to its sad cold dregs. Sighing, he glanced toward the door for signs of his household staff. Was it already time for shift changes? A look out the unshuttered window confirmed the time—the twin moons were high in the sky, pale against the net of stars—past two already. The last report had occupied him for some time. Finding spare parchment underneath the paperweight, he wrote “continue surveillance” with a quill, signed it with his mark, folded the sheet into a letter, and pressed his seal into the wax. He held his handiwork up to the light and grinned. His council had requested permission to create an official seal many times, but neither could he be bothered with an object not in his possession at all times, nor could he be bothered with a signet ring that would impede mobility. To the council’s chagrin, he had always used the most natural seal on his person—the Fanelian crest on his sword.
