 It's okay even if I have to wait long, as long as I'll be able to have your heart in the end... ~ Florence Joyce

The truth is, I just received this handmade five-year journal from Miyo last Christmas. She helped me finally get to journaling aside from writing letters to "him" for a long time now. So here I am. Hi, my name is Nichijo Miori. And I know Miyo only thinks of my welfare. That's why I'm writing here now. I'm glad this is a handmade one and not the one I'd usually see being sold online. I guess she figured I won't be able to contain the thoughts I have in those short spaces. This handmade journal has more writing space to write with and I'm glad.

Letters To Sunrise 0 - Coming Back

If I can follow the trail of tears to return to the past, I will surely meet you who is waiting for me... ~ Trail of Tears, Wheesung

It was a scary feeling, to be honest. Or at least for Choji, he actually felt that way ever since learning the truth and what really happened two years ago. Up until that moment, he still couldn't believe what he learned from his lawyer friend. And now, he also learned from the shop owner that "she" still goes back to this place from time to time. No definite day, but she would definitely stay in that place for more than an hour.

As for what she was doing there, he had no idea. It seemed that no one does.

This Love I Have

Whoever thought that finding some old item in a house that you lived in all your life would bring so much to someone? Well, at least that was what happened to Riz when she found something by the bedroom wall. Okay, it was actually behind the bedroom wall inside the master's bedroom.

Ang dating kuwarto ng mga magulang niya bago lumipat ang mga ito ng tirahan sa siyudad. Siya na lang ang natitira sa bahay na iyon na minana pa niya sa kanyang lola. Isang bagay na noong una ay hindi niya inasahan dahil nasa utak niya na ang kanyang ama ang magmamana niyon.

But then, Riz's dad chose to live away from that house. Not because of a bad memory or something like that. Alam lang nito na hindi ito makakatagal sa lugar na magpapaalala rito ng tungkol sa kapatid nitong babae -- ang tita niya -- na namatay sa cancer. Maraming magagandang alaala ang bahay na iyon tungkol sa magkapatid at hindi lang talaga nito matanggap na wala na ang tita niya.

Find My Way

Staring at a blank page in front of her, Carrie had no idea what to write about. Then again, what was the purpose of her bringing out a piece of paper and a pen, anyway? She was supposed to write something.

Only... she couldn't recall what.

Ilang araw nang ganito ang nangyayari sa kanya. Ilang araw na hindi mapakali. Ilang araw na may hinahanap. Ilang araw na may gustong gawin pero hindi niya makita ang punto kung para saan.

Even with that, she knew it was all related to one word.

"Seohae."

Star Saint Inheritors - 16 Cloud Clans' Guardians

Name: Alvar Glynthana

Birthdate: June 26

Affiliation: Terradenio clan of the Sky Regalia and Bear Knights faction of the House of Argea

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Louie Alexus Terradenio and of the team A Cloudstrikers'  Utsunomiya Reiun.

"If you die, I know full well that I won't be able to continue living. Not without the one who now holds my heart..."

The older brother of the previous Star Saint. A knowledgeable man with the ability to predict future events through various ancient texts and sometimes, the subject's writings, which was the same ability he inherited from his great-grandfather. He was an amiable and friendly man and he treated you quite well even from the time you first met him. And yet, it was understandable that his rage and sorrow for the murder of his sister could become his weakness and obvious downfall. You knew he needed someone who could make him stop doing so. But he thought that, because of those emotions lingering in him, he wasn't supposed to fall in love, just until he finally avenged his younger sister's death. That is, until you decided to choose him to become your shadow guardian...

Name: Kennard Raville

Birthdate: September 16

Affiliation: Hagelin clan of the Sky Regalia and Phoenix Knights faction of the House of Odrelia

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Stephen Yuan and Lea Miedes and of the team A Cloudstrikers' Kumazu Jinrou.

"I can't afford to lose both the princess and the warrior I came to love more than my life..."

The chosen wielder of the Red Dragon Sword, one of the two mystical swords under the protection of the Terradenio clan. This was the same duty he inherited from his great-grandfather and was said to have the ability to surpass him in terms of sword-wielding speed and capability. Probably one of the most serious people you've met in your life, you already had a feeling from the start that things between you would never go so well. But he broke that notion down for you when you chose him to become your shadow guardian. He said that it was an immense duty that he would never fail to do if it means truly protecting you. But for some reason, you had a feeling that it wasn't because of the duty as a Knight that made him want to take the task. There was something more, and it might be about the past he couldn't find in him to let go until now...

Name: Ryfin Cazidi

Birthdate: March 19

Affiliation: Correia clan of the Sky Regalia and Yellow Thunder Casters' faction

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Tristan Arienzo and Hannah Miranda and of the team A Cloudbreakers' Won Jae-hwa.

"I came to accept the fact that in the end, I'd never find that one missing piece in my life other than you..."

The shadow guardian of the previous Star Saint, he appeared to you as a cheerful person ― not to mention quite boastful ― whose ability lies with all the gadgets he created that use a combination of technology and mystical energy possessed by the members of the Cloud Clans ― a skill that only he, among the 16 Cloud Clans, possessed. Much like his great-grandfather during the old man's time. But due to the guilt he was feeling because of the previous Star Saint's death, he was rather apprehensive on accepting another important task such as protecting you ― the current Star Saint. And yet it seemed that it didn't stop you from getting to know him more as you chose him to become you shadow guardian, with the goal of giving him a chance to finally break free from the tragic past that still haunted him until now...

Birthdate: December 3

Affiliation: Monceda clan of the Silhouette Roses and White Wind Casters' faction

Great-grandson of 16 Cloud Clans' Yrian Monceda and Heidi Iara Terradenio and of the team B Cloudbreakers' Jeong So-hee

"Whatever happens, I'm not going to leave your side. At the very least, it's my way of proving that I can do anything for the sake of the one I love..."

He was Alvar's childhood friend and the current leader of the Monceda clan. Just like his great-grandfather, his ability lies with his hearing, as he could hear the "voices of the trees and plants". Those "voices" was what had been giving him the ability to predict incoming attacks and to anyone important to him. In short, the ability of divination. Sooner, though, it was revealed that he was also the fiancé of the previous Star Saint. This had only made you realize that the pain of being unable to prevent the tragedy that killed his beloved had been haunting him since then. However, when you chose him to become you shadow guardian, things were slowly turning different--for both of you. Now it would be your turn to protect everything with regards to your duty and your heart in the verge of changing because of him whose heart was still bound to the painful past and the memories of the one he loved till now...

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Wilson Arcangel and Denise Ortega and of the reserved Cloudstrikers' Ishikura Kahoko.

""

A really powerful mind reader just like his great-grandfather, you were aware that you could never hide any thoughts you had about him and practically everything about the new world you were suddenly plunged into. In spite of the shock and the confusion it brought to you, he was still there for you, ready to guide you when you truly needed it. Much like an older brother you never had, he soon became the person you trusted so much the more the two of you spent time together. But as the brand new feeling started to spark and steadily blaze within you, a certain truth about him would soon force you to choose between your mission as the Star Saint at the cost of your shadow guardian's diminishing life force and loving the only person who made you ever believe in love at the cost of your own life just to make sure he lived. Though you were aware that it would be a loss to both of you, you were willing to make the risk, at least for the sake of the one true love that you two had found...

Birthdate: October 21

Affiliation: Lanster clan of the Silhouette Roses and Purple Sound Caster's faction

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Marco Lanster and of the team B Cloudbreakers' Kim Hye-jung.

""

The current leader of the Lanster clan and the second youngest out of the five leaders of the Silhouette Roses. You might have initially met him as a physically weak person, but it turned out his ability gave him an opposite characteristics. Inheriting the ability of his great-grandfather, he was born with super strength and could definitely create a meteor-sized hole on the ground when forced to use his ability to its full power. You was sure you met him once, long before you realized you duty as the new Star Saint. It turned out, he sort of became your secret bodyguard during your middle school years before he said goodbye to you one day. Years after that, you didn't expect that your paths would cross again. But this time, he wasn't the amiable young man you've met before. You soon made it your mission the moment you chose him to become your shadow guardian to discover the truth behind his now cold behavior to almost everyone... except you...

Affiliation: Willard clan of the Silhouette Roses and Tiger Knights faction of the House of Heodel

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Raiden Wilford and Raissa Galani and of the Cloudstrikers' Arioka Tomoha.

"I made a promise... that I'll protect you with everything I've got. It's the least I can do to keep you by my side..."

Your childhood friend who managed to keep his true identity and his duty a secret from you for a long time. He had been trained ever since to wield swords and he was, by far, the youngest to have mastered four out of the Silhouette Roses' legendary Seven Lightning Dragon Blades Techniques as his great-grandfather--the former Lightning Dragon master--trained him so. Aside from that, he also inherited his great-grandfather's ability to teleport from one place to another but only at certain distances that his powers could handle at the time. He had been a protective friend to you for as long as you could remember and perhaps, he had been guarding you all this time until your powers were fully awakened. He could be a really friendly person but still somewhat reserved, making you unable to truly determine his thoughts, especially if it was about you. But perhaps it would change change if you decide to choose him to become your shadow guardian...

Name: Garen Irenu

Birthdate: July 30

Affiliation: Treharne clan of the Silhouette Roses and White Sound Casters' faction

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Nigel Treharne and of the team B Cloudbreakers' Kang Sun-ho.

""

The current leader of the Treharne clan and the second oldest of the five leaders of the Silhouette Roses who inherited his great-grandfather's ability to use telekinesis, and in its powerful form, at that. You knew him in your once ordinary life as your English teacher during your high school years. A friendly and really approachable person, you remembered relying on him a lot as your confidante and an older brother figure despite the obvious age gap. And you were sure at one time that you nearly fell in love with him before he announced his early retirement in teaching that made you sad for quite some time. It turned out, the reason for his retirement was because of the immense duty he accepted during that time as the new leader of the Treharne clan and also as one of the chosen 16 Knights. This time, you were sure that something you thought had disappeared in your heart for a long while had suddenly rekindled now that you chose him to become your shadow guardian...

Affiliation: Kigonia clan of the Triad Guardians and Wolf Knights faction of the House of Nedour

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Zephyr Raymundo and Ingrid Caselli and of the Cloudstrikers' Raikatuji Yuuwa.

"I'll still be able to protect you even in the afterlife. Perhaps, even in our next lives together..."

A skilled gunner with an uncanny ability to utilize the wind element and use it as his most powerful weapon by turning it into a barrage of wind bullets that could take down enemies located in multiple vectors. He inherited this ability from his great-grandparents who were all skilled gunners and wind manipulators of their time. But then, it was this ability that made you remember who he really was in your life prior to your appointment as the Star Saint. He was the one who once saved you from getting hit by a truck when you were a kid. Though that memory remained even as you grew up, fate seemed to forbid you from meeting him again. That is, until it played a trick when you learned that he was one of the 16 Knights chosen to guard you who would stop at nothing to make sure you were protected. Even if it means risking his life to do so as you chosen shadow guardian...

Though you knew him as a famous singer/actor, it turned out that he was your former elementary classmate and childhood sweetheart, despite his right eye being initially blind for reasons unknown. When the two of you unexpectedly reunited, you were surprised to know that he was also a part of the 16 Cloud Clans, given the ability to control people's movements in a limited time with the help of his mystical eyes, just like his great-grandfather. He gained that ability right after his eye surgery when he was in middle school. He became a singer as a way to find the people he was intending to locate for various reasons. One of those people he was desperately searching for turned out to be you...

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Zeon Pavia and Ivanah del Fierro and of the team A Cloudbreakers' Nang Ye-seul.

""

The cousin of the current leader of the clan and a direct descendant of the clan founder. Just like his great-grandfather, he had the ability to see dimensional portals, especially invisible ones, that were placed or created here in our world. Aside from that, only when needed and at a limited time, he could create portals in order to cut open a new path for him and his comrades to use as a means of escaping or another means of transportation.

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Claude Orusea and of the team B Cloudbreakers' Yang Da-rin.

""

Just like Ruae, he was a direct descendant of the clan founder who refused the position of being the clan leader despite having the qualifications to inherit it. The ability he inherited from his great-grandfather was quite destructive and he was someone considered as the opposite of Ruae in terms of portal-related ability. He could destroy dimensional portals that connected our world to the others, as long as he was given the ultimate order to do so.

Name: Yanric Dathia

Birthdate: January 30

Affiliation: Orellana clan of the Moonlit Irises and House of Shusan's Griffin Knights faction

Great-grandson of the 16 Cloud Clans' Rhyer Sothea and of the reserved Cloudstrikers' Koshimizu Marina.

""

In your once ordinary life, you knew him as your ever-smiling neighbor since you were in elementary. Though he would tease you for your skinny stature before, you vividly remembered him to be someone who was there to comfort you when you lost your father and grandfather. Then one day, you learned that he moved out all of a sudden, which made you sad. He was known among the 16 clans with the longest lifespan, due to the ability he inherited from his great-grandfather--cell regeneration. This was the explanation you received from him when you two met again. You learned that he was one of the six Iris Blades of the Orellana clan and was chosen to become one of the 16 Knights given the duty to protect you at all cost. But somewhere in your heart, you don't want him to risk his life for you despite knowing that he had the ability to regenerate. Especially when you discovered the true reason why he chose to accept living longer than the rest of his comrades, unable to die...

Phantom Berserkers - Main Characters

Phantom Berserkers

Callum Gardner
Age: 28
Country: Coalsano (reminiscent to USA)
Visual inspiration: Bryan Dechart

"Blade of Courage, Tyrannoserker Knight!"

The oldest of the new chosen Ilgrath Knights, he started training late to become a part of the Ruarden Fortress trainees because he prioritized his responsibility as a young father to his daughter first ever since his wife died. Appointed as the leader of the team by the knights themselves, his fatherly nature made him quite protective to his younger teammates and would be willing to take the blow for them if it comes to that. Even so, he would always make sure that the others won't be uncomfortable around him just because he was the oldest. That was why he developed the habit of playing pranks to his teammates just to lighten up the atmosphere when things got tensed and would always point out Hizuru's combat strength, much to her irritation.

Weston Monteloyola
Age: 25
Country: Escañoz (reminiscent to Philippines)
Visual inspiration: Alden Richards

"Blade of Hope, Triceraserker Knight!"

The second oldest of the new chosen Ilgrath Knights, he decided to become a part of the Ruarden Fortress trainees because of his girlfriend's encouragement who already saw his potential to become a warrior. Always calm even in a dire situation, he would always do his best to pacify his teammates' frustration and worries. He was seen to be close to Yeong-jin as soon as the team finally gathered as they turned out to be childhood friends. He was the first to discover the truth about the 'ultimate power of the grand beasts' and even about the secret of the Faerseton Stronghold's caretakers.

"Blade of Strength, Ankyloserker Knight!"

The youngest of the core five Ilgrath Knights and the only girl in the team, with her possessing unbelievable combat strength that the guys, especially Callum, would point out. But her strength was something that came about because of an incident when she was young that made her two martial artist brothers decided for her to train. The kidnapping and almost bullying instances that she experienced made her quite protective of her family and her teammates. Despite not having an interest of becoming a Ruarden Knight at first even after arriving in Wesharia, it changed upon encountering several members of the Drurginar Clan attacking everything and everyone inside the Fortress and the capital of Wesharia.

His playful nature would sometimes land him into trouble, but this had also made him realize the true nature of the war that the Ruarden Knights were supposed to deal with. It started upon stumbling on the abandoned Faerseton Stronghold, the one he knew was just a place of myth that held the grand power everyone had been searching for.

Yeong-jin Chon

Despite his stoic nature, he wasn't scared to admit to his childhood friend that he always feared the day the prophecy of total annihilation would come true. It manifested when the Drurginar Clan attacked Wesharia for the first time since their last onslaught in the ancient times that wiped out the entire Wesharian royal family. His research made him realize what truly happened at the night of the royal massacre and the second to discover the truth about the 'ultimate power of the grand beasts'.

Keiran Griffiths
Age: 20
Country: Wesharia (reminiscent to England)
Visual inspiration: Asa Butterfield

"Blade of Compassion, Mosaserker Knight!"

The known caretaker of the abandoned Faerseton Stronghold, he took pride of his duty in spite of the townspeople mocking his job to still take care of an old and deserted castle. He was the first person that each of the Ilgrath Knights met upon their arrival in Wesharia and it was soon discovered that his brother Rhett notified him of their arrival for some reason. He was chosen to become an additional Ilgrath Knight when he started hearing the voice of another Ilgrath Guardian asking him to restore the glory that was only right for the murdered royal family. Despite the youngest of all the knights, his way of thinking seemed to be older than the rest.

Then again, I'm quite sure I won't be able to update this on a regular basis but I'll still do my best. For now, I'll post this main list. I'll add other characters once I'm done thinking of profiles for them. This was supposed to be my adaptation of the Sentai series "Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger" but I already guessed that I won't be able to keep up with it, so I decided to do it like this.
