Walking through the centuries.....

Keepers.
Those who will survive until the end of the world, until the end of time.
Those who keep the world alive.
Immortal kids of Mother Thea.
They can't die because their time is not moving.
At the end of the world their time will start to move backwards so they will die - and when the oldest one dies, Siel, Mother will die wih him and then the time will stop and just nothingness will remain forever.

In color I've drawn just six from twenty-one, for now.
Irasiel, Ekhar, Az, Asmarael, Nana and Reinar.
Others are to follow, soon, very soon.

...
...I wish that one day people will understand the deep love I feel for all of them, my children.
That when I draw them, they are not just drawings to me.
There are stories behind those drawings, stories of their lives, they are real to me, living humans.
But for everybody except me they're just that, just drawings.
Sometimes nice, sometimes weird, but just pictures.

That's the only way I can show them to you - to draw them. Or to tell you about them.

I don't expect you to understand.
I don't.

Here they are.
I'm sorry for the quality of the photos.
My phone is such a stupid thing.
And my hands were shaking.
...Their skin is white. There's a simple reason for it - I didn't have a skin color pencil with me on holiday.
Guess I'll draw all of them like that... with white skin.




Irasiel.
The oldest one.
The legend says he had been the first human being ever, created by Mother, by her Black Blood.
It's said he is able to talk to the Mother herself, that he knows the true meaning of existence and that he knows when the end of the world is to come.
He considers Nathan and Reinar his children.
The strange fact I love about him is that he never wears shoes.




Ekhar.
The one who had been chosen to be Siel's guardian in his thousand years long sleep.
His lover.
He's a sorcerer, able to control elements.




Az.
The ruler of Ghelen, the City of Creatures. In the giant underground palace he spends days in chambers with thousands of mirrors on the walls. He's really beautiful, just as most of the Keepers. He knows it and he's proud of it.
He finds his dependants too disgusting to touch, often even to look at.
But sometimes, sometimes, sitting on his stone throne in a mirror hall, he lets the chosen ones, 'acceptable in appearance', by his own words, to brush his long hair, say nice words to him, and to keep him company.




Asmarael.
Ruler of Sphere, dimension of dead souls. He almost never leaves it though he can open the gates to the parallel worlds.
Sphere.... the empty land where it's always raining. The rain of blood, tears of damned ones, blood tears for human sins.
He keeps a caste of something like angels around him. Those Who Bring Death.
On his back appear black wings with thousands of eyes that see everything.




Nana.
A story is told, an old tale about a man who had created a human doll and had named her Nana. According to a tale the doll came to life.  Nobody knows if it's truth, not even Nana herself because she remembers nothing of her human life. If there was any.
Because Keepers must die as mortals at first to become children of eternity, children of time, of the Mother.
Nana is a morph, she often changes her appearance.




Reinar.
Reinar Wagner, the youngest one and the last one from the Keepers.
He's been born blind. Blind as a mortal, he died in the age of fifteen and was not able to see even as a Keeper.
The only color he wears is black - he says it's the only color he knows. Because the only thing he's able to see is black darkness.
He likes to pretend he's looking at people's faces, into their eyes while talking to them, others say it's creepy about him.
He loves dancing, loves to dance with Andaemon and as a blind one he's really amazing dancer.
His name is pronounced as Rena, according to the pronunciation of Sear language.

This is probably the longest thing I've ever written in English.
I apologize for any terrible and embarassing mistakes in it.
I was trying hard.
