Currently Listening To: [link] and [link]


Obviously inspired by =Toonikun. Done without reference though. Sorry for any mistakes but I am just too tired to be perfect right now. x_x This is Vittora btw. : D

Copy and pastes from here: [link]

But here's an introduction...

--------
"Gladiators ruled this time.

No...

...they were the very victims on this Era.

They were revered and idoled; loved and hated; and pitted against each other by the very people that marveled them. All for the sake of entertainment.

Heroes of entertainment came forth - many of them resembling infamous, archaic figures of legends and fairy tales. Empathy was lost and morality deteriorated as blood spilled and streaked across the Grand Colosseum.

No one cared for the gladiators themselves.

This story is about the life of the gladiators behind the eyes of a young gladiator named Vittoria."

------

Achillea is about two siblings named Tori (AKA Vittoria) and Stavros. Stavros is five years older than Tori and they're your typical loving brother and sister. But something happens and blah blah blah. Yeah, there's no plot without drama in it (as Ferris Ulf-sama once said).

Also, Cir (my character of long time ago) will most likely make an appearance too in the short manga. ^___^ If you have no idea who he is, I did a meme on him a long while ago in my old account, haha. Look here---> [link]

Another character that will play a VERY important part in the story is Diana. She's the same age as Tori and is her best friend as well - but that's only on the surface level. Deeper in the story, things will happen and conflict will ensue...lol.

Tori, Stavros, Cir, and Diana live in a world where a corrupt monarchy rules and gladiators are the main source of entertainment (besides the ongoing wars on the country borders). The four are chained to the fate of a Gladiator - a gory source of entertainment for the most detached of audiences. And this tale is a tale that goes behind that mindless violence....

OK I'LL SHUT UP NOW. THE WALL OF TEXT DOESN'T NEED TO GET ANY BIGGER, LMAO. PLUS I'M TIRED, OTL.



And because I want to, I'm posting a mini would-be OST list for my Achillea series. Gawd, I'm so dorky.

Prelude to Battle: [Chrono Cross - Time Scar] ([link])
Vittoria's Theme: [Yuki Kajiura - Mezame] ([link])
Stavros's Theme: [Yuki Kajiura - Kagutsuchi Kourin] ([link])
Cir's Theme: [Yuki Kajiura - Prologue to a Dark Night] ([link])
Diana's Theme: [Yuki Kajiura - Duran Summoned] ([link])
Revelations: [Yuki Kajiura - Hime Star] ([link])
Suspicious Intentions: [Yuki Kajiura - Nazo Ga Wo Yobu] ([link])


...Besides the first one, the mini-OST mainly composes of the Mai-HiME OST, haha. But I loooove Yuki Kajiura's soundtraaacks, lol! They're awesome! Mai-HiME was an AWESOME series too. Another series that I really recommend!! >w<



Btw, I am utterly convinced that my desktop settings are stretched and misproportioned. ._.


I AM DONE. AND I AM GOING TO SLEEP. ILU ALL, G'NIGHT~
