Thanks, if you made it to this point. And especially to waroz for giving me the most power stones of all and NovaLuna or trying to make sense of the dyslectic mess I barfed all over my laptop.
Man, I really made this whole thing a lot longer than I originally planned. I was supposed to stop around chapter 80 or so. I actually don't know why I went this far. It was probably along the line of let's try to write a story in a language that is not my first one while trying not to let my dyslexia show trough too much. But I guess that I just thought that it was a fun thing to do.
And then to think that I started this whole thing because of some random demon with black skin covered in red markings that I drew over a year ago. ( Yes Rubedo's/Gustave's colours were reversed before I decided to write a story about him.)
However, of course I won't stop here! As the idiot that I am I actually decided that I'm going to write more stories because I need to make it the problem of other people that I can't write. The first one, Broken kingdom of fallen gods, already has a few chapters out. And a friend is helping me with that one so it should be a little more readable. Apart from that, I will try to write at least one other story next to that one. But it will probably take a while before that one comes out.
But since all those stories will have the possibility of interacting with other worlds there is a high chance that some parts will overlap.
And with all the thanks and self-promotion out of the way, here are some random facts about the story for no good reason.
The being of smoke and shadows was the first character I created. Its name was Ogdrenoth, and he was supposed to be the lead of a story that I tried to write three years ago, but back then I did not understand English as much… and its just garbage. I didn't even finish it, I stopped five chapters in. But I couldn't let it go, and so I just placed Ogdrenoth in this one.
The dwarf was supposed to be named Fafnir. However, I thought that it would make more sense if he were to remain nameless.
Gustave was supposed to become a vampire. The part where he cut himself on the glass whilst entering the castle is probably still in the first chapter. His blood was supposed to lure the vampire that would turn him. Only, this would not make sense with the ending. Therefore, I changed it to demon at the verry last minute. (I know this conflicts with what I said earlier. But I kind of went back and forth between two ideas.)
Gustave/Rubedo was supposed to get a pet bunny instead of a pet bird
The bird Quetzalcoatl is based on my own bird that also has a birth defect that makes him unable to fly.
Anyways, I guess that's all. Maybe I will rewrite this once Im better at English or maybe do a sequel that can be read without reading this one first. Only, that will probably take a long time with everything else that I have planned. But I will try my best.
Well… thanks for reading and goodbye!

Alright. So, it has nearly been a month since I finished my story. And still, I get power stones and collections every now and then.
I think that that is amazing, and you all deserve a little more info on what I'm doing now.
As you all should know by now, I'm working on a new story that I already readable. As well as the work in progress. I already prepared a few chapters, but I'm building up more just so that I can do daily releases without much trouble later.
Now for what I'm doing with this one. I'm already busy with a rewrite. There are simply too many things that I wanted to do with this story that I skipped on last time. And the plot just has to many holes to serve as a sturdy foundation for a sequel. And by writing it at the same time as my other stories I get to overlap them a little more easily.
Final thing. I found one of my first drawings of Rubedo in which you can recognise that it is him and not the early version with the reversed colours. (I did not deserve to have art supplies back then. I really hate the way I drew that.) That one will be visible in the comments along with a portrait I made of what he looks like now.
I think I will do more updates on my work like this so keep this in your library for the time being.
