The skip of the bard
the dance of the jester
magic drifts in
and whispers.
CLAPPING is a celebration of language, words, and rhythm. It is a walk through a forest of ageless imagery. In just a few lines, the reader will journey to the distant lands of their imagination. They may even find themselves clapping. Five hundred years ago, the Goddess of Chaos and the Goddess of Destiny fought for the fate of Humanity. During that war, Destiny chose her champion, deemed her “Blade”. It's a world where special individuals can tap into their inner most Essence and manifest abilities known as Vestiges. Zachary “Zach” Kuchiyama is one such individual, hailing from a legendary bloodline of demon slayers. After a near brush with death, Zach has a date with Destiny herself and finds himself chosen as her next Blade. Not only does he have challenges ahead to face but a past that haunts him as well.
