Another teaser!
I’ll admit. I’m a busy lazy person. So to make up for the lack of updates on this blog and my novel, I present to you my chapter 2. Not much but…it is chapter 2. =3
“I can see her at the gate.” Thiea Bey, a tall athletic woman with short flaxen hair, dropped quietly beside Yvi Weil, “Looks like Rain has no problem dealing with the Rat Demons after all.”
“Did you ever have a doubt?” Yvi flicked her auburn hair and smiled mischievously at Thiea, “Rain graduated near the top of her class at the Magian Academy after all.”
“Of course not.” Thiea retorted in good humour, “I’m just glad the Rat Demons didn’t decide to strike here instead.”
Rain’s corpulent guise ambled into the courtyard in front of the Town Mayor’s residence and shimmered into her usual self, much to the discomfort of the patrolling guards nearby.
“Is the Mayor alright?” Rain asked in concern as Yvi and Thiea hurried towards her, “I’m pretty sure I got all the Rats but it doesn’t hurt to be safe.”
“He’s fine.” Yvi replied airily with amusement in her azure eyes, “He’s currently shivering under his bed but at least he’s in one piece.”
“How did you guess that the Rat Demons were after him in the first place?” Thiea asked, “They were killing everyone they could lay their paws on after all.”
“That’s what they want you to think.” Rain smiled as she pulled a parchment from seemingly nowhere and handed it to Thiea, “Take a look at this list of all the people who had been killed for the past month and tell me one thing they have in common.”
Thiea and Yvi studied the parchment intently.
“They’re all known supporters of the Humans Against Demons movement?” Thiea raised her eyebrow.
“Are you saying that the Rats were only targeting those who were in the movement?”
Rain nodded, “Exactly, and killing the Mayor who’s one of the more prominent figures will definitely throw a spanner into the works.”
“But who is the mastermind behind these mass assassinations?” Yvi asked curiously, “The demons?”
“Who else could it be?” An odd expression burned in Rain’s lavender eyes, “They’re all murderers, every single one of them.”
The earring wrapped around her right ear glinted somewhat menacingly under the dim lights that filtered from the Mayor’s house. It was a subtle symbol that served to remind all of Rain’s Magian status wherever she went and it gave Yvi the creeps every time she saw the earring. It was as if the earring had a life of its own and Yvi never understood why it had to be a hideous claw-like thing with a single eye of all things. The Order definitely needed to take some lessons in fashion accessorizing.
“Well, whatever it is, our mission is now accomplished.” Thiea cut into Yvi’s thoughts dismissively, “Let’s collect our fee and get out of here. I’m positively starving.”
“You’re always starving.” Rain’s eyes lost the strange burning look as she turned with a teasing smile to Thiea, “Sometimes I wonder where all the food you ate went.”
“To my brain of course.” Thiea laughed, “Why do you think I’m so incredibly smart…?”
As Yvi followed her fellow bounty hunters, she began to wonder what could have caused that expression of hidden pain and repressed anger in Rain’s eyes.

Ya, well, it’s kinda far away, I know… but… i dream…
lin
Hi everyone!
I know lin has added me to this blog for the longest time but I never had the time to actually write something. Hehe…my bad, my bad.
In any case, Rainy Skies has been long in the making. Both in the conception and writing. The story itself is actually a mixture of several ideas I’ve had over the years. It was only when I first set up the AMWClub at SGCAFE and met lin that I finally decided to sit down and pen the darn thing.
You see, it had always been a dream of mine to see my novels in manga format and so lin was like heaven-sent. Never did I ever expect to see my characters come to flesh on paper. Well, at least on my computer screen. =)
Let’s hope I get to see both my novel and lin’s manga on real paper soon then. =3

… the preview ends! XD
Keep a watch on this blog, though, we might be putting up snippets of our progress, thots, and “fanart” from time to time. Hope you had an enjoyable time on this journey with us! XD
by lin:
The first few pages of the manga went through many revisions, with helpful comments from the AMWC. But I shall not bore you with them here; here you’ll see the “final” first draft of chapter 1, and also one teaser page from chapter 2. Comments and critiques welcome! XD
