“For If Any Be A Hearer Of The Word, And Not A Doer, He Is Like Unto A Man Beholding His Natural Face In A Glass: For He Art

“And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.” (Isaiah 53:9, KJV)

In days to come I stood amazed, walking through that forest, at the blazing symphony of color it brought forth, seemingly just for me. I grew to love my friend’s words in a new way, through the astounding beauty of the spectacle he knew was coming when he said them. I was young then, and didn’t know I had many autumns ahead of me.
Style: Ethereal Historical Fantasy Portrait. The mood is quiet, reverent, and deeply mystical. Soft, natural moonlight is the primary light source, creating gentle rim-lighting. The Subject (Asonya): A woman of the ancient, antediluvian world, dressed with profound modesty. She is wrapped in multi-layered, heavy robes of woven wool dyed in deep indigo and charcoal grey that conceal her form. A textured veil covers her hair and frames her face. Her expression is contemplative and gentle, with eyes gazing upward. The Moon Phase Connection: The current moon phase—a slender, glowing Waning Crescent—is intrinsically tied to her appearance. The Headpiece: A clasp made of pale, almost translucent moonstone in the exact shape of the crescent moon secures her veil. It seems to hold an internal, soft luminescence. The Projection: A faint, ethereal projection of the crescent moon phase is visible subtly glowing on the fabric of her veil over her forehead, as if starlight is clinging to her. Action & Setting: She stands on an ancient, wind-worn stone platform used for observing the heavens. In her hands, she holds a simple, dark earthenware bowl filled with still water. The reflection of the actual crescent moon in the sky is perfectly captured in the water she holds. Atmosphere: The background is a vast, clear night sky filled with countless stars. The air feels old and still.
Volume 1 – Chapter 1: “Running Away” Story Points: Ji Hun is bored and unhappy with his life in the band “Forever.” Inner thoughts reveal his frustration and desire to escape. He decides to run away; changes his appearance with a ginger curly wig and glasses to hide his identity. Ji Hun sneaks out, but security guards notice him and start chasing him. While running, he accidentally bumps into Min Joon, a girl with long curly black hair, wearing a hoodie and baggy jeans. They fall on the ground. Min Joon helps him up and insists on taking him to her home to relax. She offers him tea and biscuits; they start talking. Ji Hun lies and says his name is “Jin” and that he is an accountant.

“Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” (Psalms 46:2-5, KJV) Do not use any Temple or religious building. Create only the landscape

Southeast Asia. Modern day. The damaged and the broken ones; all rooted in the past, live life the way it always was, from their first day to their last. Motes of dust in beams of light, in the darkness of this day, we tip the hat and give a nod, for the truth we can’t convey. Everything is real, but nothing matters, anyway. Where life is only what must be, from the cradle to the grave. Everyone does what they can: Nothing less, but sure no more. Tip the hat and give a nod to the ones who’ve gone before. We tip our hats and give the nod to the world we’ve all ignored

“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:6-15, KJV)

“And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:1-7, KJV)

Without words create a picture of mercy and faithfulness in the heavens based on this verse: “For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.” (Psalms 89:2, KJV)
"A solitary and ominous Black Plague Doctor stands in a dimly lit, narrow cobblestone alleyway in a medieval European city. The doctor is clad head-to-toe in their iconic, dark, heavy protective gear: a long, oil-soaked waxed canvas or leather coat, dark gloves, and a wide-brimmed black hat. Their most striking feature, the beaked mask with dark, glass eyeholes, is prominent, creating an eerie, bird-like silhouette that conceals their face entirely. A wooden cane or pointer is held firmly in one gloved hand. The atmosphere is heavy and foreboding. The background features dark, crumbling stone or timber-framed buildings with shuttered windows, hinting at a city under quarantine. Smoke or mist might subtly swirl around their feet. The lighting is stark and dramatic, perhaps from a distant lantern or a sliver of pale moonlight, casting deep shadows and highlighting the grim details of their attire. The overall mood is one of profound isolation, historical dread, and silent vigilance against an invisible enemy."
