One of the joys about AI is the ability to bring creatures from the story to life! One of the frustrations about AI is explaining what a woegie is. This image is kind of close, especially compared to my hand-drawn attempt. Trust me, a four year old could do better.

​

Gigil: (n.) The irresistible urge to pinch or squeeze something or somone that is unbearably cute.

(The gigil is strong with Adira when it comes to woegies)

​

A woegie is the cutest thing you've ever seen, just a ball fur with big eyes. Hypnotically cute. The body of a guinea pig, they scurry across the forest floor. Their fur is like a long haired cat/guinea pig, and, like a guinea pig, no two are the same. Giant eyes will lure you in for a cuddle...but don't do it. They don't like you. They only like Anoxians. So, unless you're two foot tall, green and resemble some form of vegetation...do not give in to your gigil. Or lose some fingers, the choice is yours.

​

Kitri hawks are the 'Guardian Angels' to the villagers of Principium, created by Kreatar to protect them from the monsters of Mavros. When a Kitri hawk locks their eyes on you, beware. They never miss their target. 

​

The monsters of Mavros are evil, and I do not sugarcoat evil in my stories. Ormar is the crimson beast, chosen by Mandex to lead the Dark army. While creating this character, I leaned heavily on my background education of Nature vs Nurture. Ormar does have a backstory, keep that in mind as I take you to the end of the series.
