2008
Another step closer to getting off of this insufferable planet. At least they weakened the grasp the rin’glimiters had on our abilities.
Yeah, and they were the only ones besides our guardians who could tell us more about our origins. Now that their memories have returned, they left our Crystalements to return to our home galaxy.
Man, reflecting on all that happened makes you realize we’ve been living a lie up to this point. I actually like this plotline better. Instead of being destined humans able to use elemental abilities, we are actually aliens sent here from another galaxy. This would be pretty wicked, well…y’know…if it wasn’t forced upon us.
…This star system is as prosaic as they come. Doesn’t help that the Energual saturation levels here are a fraction of what is found in our galaxy. Suffocating really.
Nothing left to do but eliminate all of our opposition. We have the numbers advantage globally but that doesn’t mean anything if we can coordinate against them at a crucial moment.
We know there are multiple keys but from the intel that was shared with us, it was hard to nail down if they are scattered across this planet or multiple star systems.
If that’s the case, we weren’t the only ones sent out to guard and retrieve these keys. Things are gonna get complicated down the line.
Almost certainly, we know Ludistradoss is our next destination but we can’t do much at the moment so it’s best to recuperate with the others. If we’re lucky, our guardians may be more willing to inform us on that and possibly our next objective.
この耐え難い惑星から脱出するのにまた一歩近づいた。少なくとも、リングリミッターが私たちの能力に及ぼす影響は弱まった。
そうだ、そして彼らは私たちの守護者以外で私たちの起源についてもっと詳しく教えてくれる唯一の存在だった。今や彼らの記憶は戻り、彼らは私たちのクリスタレメントを離れて私たちの故郷の銀河に戻った。
ああ、起こったことを振り返ると、私たちは今まで嘘をついて生きてきたことに気づく。私は実際、この筋書きの方が好きだ。私たちは元素能力を使える運命の人間ではなく、実は別の銀河からここに送られたエイリアンなのだ。これはかなり邪悪なことだろう、まあ。。。そうだな。。。もしそれが私たちに強制されていなかったら。
。。。この星系は、ありきたりなものです。ここのエネルギ飽和レベルが私たちの銀河系で見られるレベルのほんの一部であることも助けにはなりません。本当に息苦しいです。
敵をすべて排除する以外にできることは何もない。我々は世界的に数で優位に立っているが、重要な瞬間に彼らと連携して戦うことができれば、それは何の意味もない。
鍵が複数あることはわかっていますが、共有された情報から、鍵がこの惑星に散らばっているのか、それとも複数の星系に散らばっているのかを特定するのは困難でした。
そうだとすれば、これらの鍵を守り回収するために派遣されたのは我々だけではありません。今後、事態は複雑になるでしょうネ。
次の目的地がルディストラドスであることはほぼ間違いありませんが、現時点ではできることはあまりないので、他の人たちと一緒に回復するのが最善です。運が良ければ、守護者たちはそれについて、そしておそらく次の目標についても、もっと喜んで教えてくれるかもしれません。
2023
This resonation, that means these creatures are us. Are they the same as those who relied on controlling aspects of their Assinemous in order to use abilities like ours?
If so, it’s hard to believe that they can harness their abilities outside of the Qinerci-rich veil that’s concentrated around our galaxy. Are they utilizing some kind of Pnduolifrean-tech?
Hmm, I believe they called themselves humans. Must mean that rock they reside on is named after any the Earth K.E.Ys. Wonder why they decided to show us this now.
Not sure, there’s quite a bit that parallels our own universe but the incongruencies, they’re difficult to make sense of. The fabric of time-space there is woven in a way that doesn’t match that other universe.
Seem like they can’t keep their hands out of what they should merely be governing. Bet they will eventually be forced to start fixing anomalies there as well.
Eventually is right, I’m sensing some kind of Kezync mastery but there no way those forms can support Weqrelm nor a complex Relayon system.
This language is familiar due to our previous encounter but I’m gonna have to rely on my Hevneruajnës to understand and translate it. Afterwards, I’ll share it via Psynaptic Psync.
Alright, let’s hear their story, maybe then we’ll understand why they brought us here again.
この共鳴、つまりこの生き物たちが私たちであることを意味するよ。 彼らは、私たちのような能力を使用するために、アシネモスの様相に依存していた人々と同じ？
もしそうなら、彼らが私たちの銀河のキネルシが豊富なベールの外で彼らの能力を利用できるとは信じがたいですネ。 彼らはある種のプドゥーラフレインのテクを利用しているのだろう？
うーん、自分たちを「人間」だと呼んでいたと思う。彼らが住んでいるその岩が地球の K.E.Yのいずれかにちなんで名付けられたことを意味するに違いない。なぜ「彼ら」は今私たちに見せているの不思議だ。
さあ、よく分かりません。私たちの宇宙と類似している部分はかなりありますが、矛盾点があり、理解するのが困難です。そこの時空間の構造は、他の宇宙とは一致しない方法で織り込まれています。
彼らは、単に統治するだけのはずのものに手を出さずにはいられないようだ。いずれは、そこでも異常な事態を修復せざるを得なくなるだろう。
「いずれ」は正しい。私はある種のケジンクの熟練度を感じているが、それらの形態がウェクレルムや複雑なリレーオン システムをサポートできるはずがない。
この言語は以前の遭遇により馴染み深いものですが、理解して翻訳するには私のヘヴネルアジュネスに頼らなければなりません。その後、シナプッティク シンクで共有します。
よし、彼らの話を聞きましょう。そうすれば、彼らが私たちを再びここに連れてきた理由がわかるかもしれません。
Reflection
We don’t know what sparked our love of writing but after our first few attempts to make fan-fics of our favorite TV shows at the time, we decided to create our own original series. It would take about 3-4 years & 2 major revisions for us to mold it into a world we wanted to build and explore upon via writing. This third revision would be known as Elementz the Anime. Retrospect the title should have been A 2-decade-long journey but upon reflection, the first two revisions were more of the foundation of what was to follow and are equally as important.
Looking back through our old spirals, we were happy to find that we dated when we started writing “Elementz the Anime” as well as when we filled that spiral. We did the same with the second spiral and almost finished it. that can be found on the episode list page here.
NEED TO TAKE PICTURE OF DATE PAGES
NEED TO TAKE PICTURE OF SPIRAL COVERS
As for the date, it was 15 years ago today…well we’re a week late. However, there is a reason for that. We wanted to write a little special possibly non-canon story about the relationship between “Elementz the Anime” and “Ælementz: Fources beyond the Anomaly” known simply as Rev3lementz. However, we got carried away and the short story we wrote in what little free time we had wouldn’t do this anniversary justice. So we are planning to release a VN via Ren’Py sometime late next year with an in-depth story. That and we’ve been working a lot and getting ready to move overseas so free time isn’t a luxury at the moment.
We felt like it was about time we actually finished something for once and this little project will test our determination for that change.
Real-World Influences
Elementz the Anime:
Took place in my home state of Texas.
Ryon was based on our love of going outside and wandering off to new places and getting lost. Visiting family in east Texas also allowed us to be closer to nature. We would visit almost every year from 2001-ish to 2010 when we visited one last time after graduating from high school. Haven’t been to East Texas since 2012.
Al
ex 
was created to allow for a brotherly dynamic with Ryon. He would contrast with his little brother’s naive and thoughtful personality. His Wind ability may have been based on enjoying the feeling of wind flowing across your body as during our adventure at home and east Texas as there was a lot of opportunities to riding in the back of trucks and ATV’s and feel the force of wind flowing across you.
Sena was based on our little sister Dory, who was doing gymnastics at the time of us writing Elementz. She also inherited our often volatile negative emotional states & introversion during that time. This may have resulted in us giving her abilities associated with the mind.
W
hittney was based on our older sister Brit. Our sister was tough, crass and always liked to pick fights or fight which directly resulted in Whittney being the same but with an actual background in martial arts. Fire seems natural for her hot-headed personality.
Sur
tus would be based on our older brother Curt. However Surtus only inherited his fighting from our brother, otherwise he was a quirky and somewhat nerdy martial artist. That quirky and energeticness made it feel natural to give him the power of electricity.
Esu
na was based on our love of astronomy based on our love of Sailor Moon, she would go on to be modeled after our curiosity and pursuit of knowledge as well as other erudite stereotypes. Her name is a direct reference to the white magic spell in the Final Fantasy series. We were enjoying FFIII DS at the time.
Drayne is interesting. Just like his sister, he was originally our way of putting ourselves into our own series before he became the representation of our struggle with interpersonal relationships and waywardness with others. He also represented our masculinity.
D
renee like Drayne, was us putting ourselves into our own series. Unlike her brother, she represented our longing for interpersonal relationships. This also resulted in her encapsulating our naiveté and social awkwardness. The later of which would be shared with Surtus. She also represented our femininity.
Drayne & Drenee were given ethereal and gender-based abilities to symbolize the spirits we had within ourselves but couldn’t express at the time.
Reflecting on the video, we realize how much our story has changed over the decade and yet we still can’t put together anything promising due to being a bit grandiose in our creativity.
Ælementz: Fources beyond the Anomaly:
The name Eligere Xi 822.08; the galaxy where Elexeyians thrive, has its roots in our old Mario Kart Wii racing clan.
Struggles with Writing
There wasn’t too much struggle with writing Elementz but that changed as we transitioned to Ælementz which has kinda been in limbo for almost a decade of on and off work.
High school gave us tons of time to write and brainstorm ideas as well as writing in general. We also had a lot more passion; or youthful optimism take your pick, so writing during that time was rather fluid.
The struggles came after graduating, during the first few weeks of college we found ourselves too busy to write but not too busy to keep coming up with ideas. We started working the following year at that was the last time we official wrote anything.
From then until around 2015/2016 we wrote down ideas and revisions that were becoming more and more divorced from Elementz the Anime. This doc was named Elementz of Life Changes.txt with the subtitle The New Elementz. Critical changes included the inevitability to live outside of their host galaxy, universal forces being involved with how that physical universe operated & unique biology that is influenced by the Ælementz that are a result of the Qinerci-rich galaxy.
It was at this point we knew that Elementz the Anime wasn’t something we couldn’t work with anymore. In the following years we kept brainstorming and revising until we hit a comfortable stopping point and now need to give the series its new name. We wanted to veer away from the term Elementz as it felt cheesy but by this point it has become to integral to the story so we renamed it to the subjectively less cheesier Ælementz which is almost pronounced the same way. We also wanted the word anomaly to be in there somewhere due to the complete change in direction that the series had taken.
More years of writing in our free time and we still feel somewhat uncertain of the current name we’ve given it. Also despite writing the script for the first episode and partially revising it, we had to stop as we failed to create and/or establish certain rules and laws that would become a bigger problem later down the line. As a result, writing has stopped indefinitely until we finish those. Currently, we are a little over halfway there but progress has slowed due to recent changes in life.
If this project doesn’t prove to much, we hope to have those problems fixed sometime late next year as well.
Project Outline
We want to complete this project by the end of next year and if we can do that we will try to get back on track with Ælementz: Fources beyond the Anomaly. At the moment the outline is rather shallow with our only plans being:
- Hire a Ren’Py programmer to efficiently program things like menus, GUI/HUD and other things.
- Artist to creature sprites and effects for the characters involved.
- A background artist who specializes in background art.
- Experimenting with AI-voice or just hiring voice actors if its within budget.
We know there is much more involved in the creative process and we will strive to learn more about it in the coming months.
