Erasmus

Recently, I decided that I should try and "revamp" So Beautifully Lovely. Many of the blog posts and pages are a bit scattered and disorganized. Lately, I've been babbling a lot of my projects . . . Many people have expressed interest in the world of Erasmus (originally titled The Prestige), so here's a "teaser" from a very rough blurb.

Young alchemist prodigy Erasmus Pennington has been living in hiding from the Shadows for as long as he could remember. Watched by these powerful dark creatures from afar, it was only a matter of time before Erasmus is beckoned to this imminent world of magic. Opened to this universe with new eyes, he finds himself crossing a perilous path that no dared to follow. Trapped under the avian curse that turns him into a feathered raven at twilight, Erasmus becomes determined to break the enchantment inflicted on him as he grows older. The Shadows have summoned him to do dangerous bidding around the world, collecting wyvern’s teeth. Chance has the alchemist meeting the inventor’s beautiful daughter “Gossamer”, a realistic automaton who wants nothing more but to feel beautiful, to be a human. Singing the same melody, the lullaby which haunts her, Erasmus soon discovers that Gossamer is under a curse as well. Travelling endless underground passageways beneath the Land of Alden, the two promise each other to help to break their curses.

I'm in love . . .

In this new London era of futuristic innovations and anachronistic technology man once thought to be impossible, a determined inventor intricately constructs a replica automaton of his late daughter Amelia, in order to redeem himself from the void his life has become. Surprisingly, Amelia is personified with her own emotions and gestures, having the heart of a human being. Because of this, Amelia couldn’t help but feel attracted to the mysterious Brent, a boy trying to fend on his own on the London streets. Unsure what to make of these new feelings, the young automaton seeks help from her “father” inventor who wants for her to be broadcasted to all of London as the turnout of the century to our world’s history. However, Amelia refuses and wishes to be with her love, Brent—even though he is completely oblivious to her existence, refusing to let go of her hope that someday they’ll be together. Brent has been raised by the shadows, and with his dark energy he has been controlling machinery like Amelia, dancing automatons on his marionette strings. Other angry shadows of the night are taking over the souls of innocent commoners in seek of power. When this marionette finally breaks away from the puppet’s strings, there’s no going back. 

Dark shadows of the night are taking over our world.
Brent, a boy raised by the shadows, wants nothing more but to break away from them and to stop their murders of mortals.
Amelia is an automaton, but is trapped under an irreversible curse which Brent created. And only he can break. If only he knew how to break the spell.
PRESTIGE is a new take of paranormal romance, steampunk, and forbidden love. It may be my possible NaNoWriMo this year! Woot, woot!
