Volume 10
The Last Clove A Tale of Magic and Garlic
Aiko “The Garlic Girl”
Age: 19
Magic Affinity: Herbcraft & Cursebreaking
Personality: Stubbornly optimistic, quick with a sarcastic comment, and even quicker to risk her life for someone else’s meal or mistake.
Signature Move: Garlic Burst — a blinding charm that smells as bad as it hurts.
Fun Fact: Once tried to cook stew using cursed garlic. The pot exploded. Twice.
Quote: “If I can’t fix it with garlic or grit, it probably isn’t worth fixing.”
🌙 Hana of the Silver Wand
Age: 19
Magic Affinity: Lunar & Healing Magic
Personality: Calm, intelligent, but secretly loves teasing Aiko. Prefers logic over luck — though Aiko keeps forcing her to believe in both.
Signature Move: Moonflare Ward — a shimmering barrier that hums like a lullaby.
Fun Fact: Collects rare herbs but can’t cook to save her life. (Aiko refuses to let her forget this.)
Quote: “You cause chaos, I clean it up — that’s balance.”

This is hauntingly beautiful the repetition of that opening line gives it such an eerie rhythm like an echo itself the atmosphere you built feels cinematic and the subtle emotional tension between Hana and Aiko makes the supernatural elements hit even harder

I could vividly picture every scene from the gray valley to the twin silver moons why don’t you draw it as a comic? It would look amazing I honestly think it has real potential to shine as a visual story

Thank you for the kind words i spent 3 years making it as perfect as i could. The reason for no art to be honestly i wanted to paint a picture with words. Being this was my first time ever writing and doing a public release. Vol 2 in the works it will be little shorter but will have art. Least that's my goal
