Arrogant, condescending, rude. To say that Adrik is not a great person to be around would be an understatement. Instead of fully internalizing his feelings, Adrik tends to lash out at others because he has yet to realize the extent of which other’s emotions affect his emotional state. He has yet to find the off switch to his empathic and telepathic abilities and as a result is constantly assaulted by the thoughts and feelings of others. As there is rarely any room in his head for his own thoughts, he tends to operate on his base instincts more than is healthy. Many of his problems are due to his relatively young age but are magnified by the fact that he chooses to spend most of his time around those he can’t “hear” anything from, such as Enya, as it gives him a chance to be alone in his head as opposed to learning how to cope with his own abilities.
If Adrik were able to look past his own pride and admit to himself and others that he needs help, he might just be surprised by how much easier that would make things. However, he has not quite reached that point, yet.
This chapter takes place a few weeks after the end of the previous chapter and the title is a reference to the boiling and condensation point of water.

There’s certain concepts that Demis, in general, are incapable of grasping and no amount of good intentions can cover that up.… Continue reading 06
I almost went crazy working on the backgrounds for this chapter. It took half the chapter for me to realize that I should make a texture for the distant trees and ground and then use those textures instead of individually drawing every single tree and rock.
I keep trying to think of any additional comments to add to today’s page and I’m coming up really short.
Paranoid and irrational, Enya picked those words very carefully. This past week was my second first week of college classes. I really messed up my first time through college (if I could erase most of my freshman year and part of my sophomore year I would without hesitation, though I really enjoyed the major I… Continue reading 09
They’ve known each other a very, very long time.
Originally, I was going to have a panel on this page where Enya recognized Fae had returned and then decided against it since as much as Enya can direct a conversation so that a third party will over hear the relevant parts, she isn’t doing that here. Fae wondered back early because she’s getting cold… Continue reading 11
Fae’s real name just got used. I wonder what that might mean…
