Ada and the Colossus[]

Ada and the Colossus, written by Hayden, is a popular fairy tale in Eraveil and an inspiration for Caelestites. The book tells the tale of a Caelestite girl named Ada establishing a mind link with Kaz, the weakest Colossus, and leaving Eraveil to explore the world. Through their adventures, the author explains concepts like Eoria, endless day and endless night, Aurorians, Eclipsites, and others.

Introduction[]

The strange little animals that dub themselves "Demi-humans" get fuzzy fur all over and are so fun to touch. Even a Colossus cannot resist it! Cuddle the fluffy creatures under the warm sun for a nice, easy lazy day

Volume II: The Colossus and the Demi-human[]

The tattered Kaz and novice navigator Ada meandered aimlessly in the sky. Minor turbulence turned them topsy turvy and, with energy running out, they were forced to land.

"I knew it, it's not wise to make impromptu trips like this. Now I'm stuck in the ground... I'm not good with flying, after all! Hmm, I guess you're not good with piloting, either!" Kaz spoke to Ada through the telepathic link.

Ada rubbed her head that hit the control panel during the landing. The right side was still sore, but she played it off like she didn't care. "I admit I'm not good at it, since I never took any Colossus operation lessons because I don't have a guardian."

"What? Then what gave you the guts to establish a mind link with me!"

"Uh, instinct, I guess." She got back on her feet. "But trust me, I think I have a knack for this."

"You're even more egotistical than I am! Though I find that somewhat appealing... I'm absolutely not going to fly again, however. I'd rather be buried in the dirt than get banged up in the air. I should be waiting in the junkyard for someone to disassemble me, not knee deep in some unknown wild like this... It feels creepy here! And wet! And so many weird mushrooms..."

"Not to mention unexpected visitors."

"Creatures" with weapons in hand charged Ada from all directions.

The tense Kaz closed her eyes. Noncombatant Caelestites like Ada were practically sitting ducks, doomed to be sundered by these monsters. The Lumina inside her stirred, as doubts surfaced one after another in her circuits. She was always a coward, couldn't fly, couldn't help her navigator, couldn't even keep her eyes open when Ada was in danger. She wanted to cry, but could a machine like her shed tears?

She heard Ada's voice, "Don't be afraid, Kaz. The problem's solved. We're okay."

When Kaz's eyes opened, she saw Ada holding a cat, with different animals lying around her.

"Caelestites aren't good fighters, but I am. I knocked these small animals down when they charged me, then rubbed their bellies. They just couldn't resist!"

The cat in her arms spoke at this time.

"How rude! We're not animals but demi-humans! You just crushed our most precious pearl mushroom and should pay us 10 million nightium in compensation! However, given your decent massage technique, we'll let you off the hook with just labor!"

"Demi-humans?" Ada stared at the cat in her arms, bewildered.

"Meow. Don't you know anything? Those who can see light trails are Caelestites. Those who can't see trails but can use Lumina are Aurorians." The cat stretched.

"What are demi-humans, then?"

"We communicate through language, we are strong, but got nothing to do with Lumina... Hey, scratch me here... Our great advantage, though, is..."

"We're so darn cute."
