Portraits, story, fun and crossovers. All just to celebrate a lovely secret-santa art-work featuring Adel that I received recently!

The queen is seventy two and moved out of royal palace, so Adel really seems to be fairest of them all. Even if you like some other's face better, she's certainly the most charming of all girls and young women living in capital.

This journal entry is my wishlist for Secret Santa event that is holded at group @Secret-Santa-Network and I'd also like to remind about list of season hints.

A pinch of winter inspiration for Everybody

As I'm slowly getting ready for winter holidays with this journal entry, I like to remind about a list of hints that may inspire others to create something for the season:

She seeks for a right path in adult life.

Ask any question you have regarding the girl.

Some features within groups

... in any tune that you'll find comfortable!

Let's flick through some art-works featuring singing and playing instruments. Mine and by others.

For a start my recent piece:

Moll, the girls, sings also during daylight:

I drew also other dream that features music. It is of Celice.

And there has been an occasion to see her in a daylight

You have seen the lute some more times:

This piece was featured in a collab, in which some more characters are singing:

Back to my OC and the lute :

The lute is Bantyr's a.k.a. Diurano belonging. He also sings without its accompaniment.

I've already mentioned Celice. Her crush, Rat, plays panflute.

Then there is Basir:

And Kaisha

Diurano's daughter, Nuor:

Psst, remember that her real family background is a secret!

Who can remember Merry Cure?

Some other art-works featuring singers:

One more, that I came across after I collected feature above:

Here is sum up of Diurano's story.

Enjoy!

His daughter Nuor constantly talks nonsense doubting being a full royalty, while enjoying all advantages of being one.

It gets even worst after her becoming an adult, because she betrays him pledging royalty to Advernian church. He fail to treat her then like his child.

He entrusted the other child, who lives at frontier, interest in Nuor’s safety, he himself began to prepare for a personal visit to reconcile.

He focussed on a disguise, because he is aware that there are a few people who hates him and are this mad that they might hurt Nuor if they learn her family background.

He got original Advernian garment from a person who have been not going there back.

Finally his own children reminds him that he is supposed to think about prosperity of Vapama too. That day he officially appoints the heir.

He takes a roundabout way, so people in different parts of Adverna meet him.

He sings along a way to earn his meals and also establish his cover as Gypsy bard.

He dare not to hunt or thieve, so he eats dandelions when he is hungry. He tries to keep his hair dark with castor oil.

He is just about taking a narrow turn on his way to head toward a place where Nuor lives, when a Gypsy who hates Vapama royal families recognizes him with card divination.

He persuades them to hand him over to the king of Adverna, who is not happy that foreigners behave badly within his land. He want the bard and Gypsies to solve their issues.

Then king of Adverna says that if Diurano tells truth, he would be delighted to perform in a cathedral on a greatest of holidays. So he does.

In the end he reconciles with Nuor.

Nuor, inspired to being a daughter of a removed Advernia bard, in a few months start her own music career.

Hearing rumours about he solo trip through Adverna, he lightly smirks and lightly shrugs, which strengthens his reputation of someone capable and worthy to lead an army.
