《Amphigory》My Mask
Advertisement
Life is a dance
Two steps forward one step back
An informal masquerade
Everyone playing charades yet
No one Is guessing
Maybe that's my problem
Or maybe
My mask is too realistic I understand
Sometimes
I fool myself too
A plaster porcelain smile with bright eyes
So lively and vibrant
Covering up all of the lies Of the past
But I won't stop wearing it
Thrashed and harassed, soul trashed
My mask remained uncracked
And I'll keep it that way
I don't need anyone to know I'm vulnerable
Weak and uncomfortable
In my own skin
No one needs to see
The numbness in my dull eyes with tears
When a painful memory appears
So I'll keep my mask on
I'd rather break In secrecy
So others can live fearlessly
Or maybe
My overbearing mask I carry
Is just me convincing myself
That I am just as strong and optimistic
As my mask is unrealistic

Blood Blue
Mayevil is a renowned assassin who is known to complete any mission without fault. A hybrid that is ostracized by each of her respective halves. To her peers, she is an enigma as distant as she is powerful, a person they cannot hope to understand or relate to. Yet, while this is how they see her, the reality is that she is simply confused. Without a greater sense of purpose, her day-to-day life repeats itself over and over again. In the hope that she will eventually find joy or meaning, she continues, without so much as understanding why, as much as why not. Encountering noble vampires, powerful martial artists, and haughty mages all the while, her journey will prove to be a difficult one. This story is inspired by the works of Kinoku Nasu, and various martial arts-oriented stories such as Kengan Ashura and The Raid. Expect a mix of magic, comedy and fight scenes, with a sprawling fantastical world. As a side note, while the story starts off relatively tame, there may be some less than wholesome things that happen later on, so do be warned! Hello!
