Description
Rolls off the tongue nicely. More unused art. Maybe I'll use it on the back cover or something. Ayonah looks like he's thinking about where to go from here.I used some of this foliage on this page:

Would look great on a back cover. Especially as he's looking back over the story that way.

He's thinking "What do I do now??"

I'm hoping you have the sequel all lined up

prequel or sequel... prequel or sequel... cant decide which way to go from here.

As you have a captive audience at the mo maybe a sequel while they are keen to see the next installment?

I have -loved- the detail and colors("The Colors, man!") in your landscapes of Ayonah's world.
I can't wait to see your next work(you mentioned a prequel?). Ayonah looking noble as s&%^.
(but also looking lonely).

I figure loneliness is the only reason a "god " would bother creating a mess like this.

oh hey, a clue to pronunciation, thanks. Ayonah is a shape changer? cool, I like your world

Ay- yon - ah
This name has significance.
I was talking about theoretical math to my five year old daughter one day.
I said, some numbers have names, like Pi , those are numbers that nobody knows how to show them with regular numbers, so they give them a name. Can you think of a number nobody knows, and give it a name?
She said , "yeah ... Ayonah. It is the smallest number."
You mean like number 1? " No, the very smallest number. Smaller than 1"
...from the mouth of babes...
So ... Ayonah , even the very smallest number, still is an infinite leap from nothing at all, so that is the name of the God in this world.
She says she will sue me for stealing that name. I said fine, whatever.

Thanks for all this great info. You can see that I have come along late in the piece, actually half-way through The Veligent (which I thought was really good). I'm going to have to go back now and read the prequel.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh yeah, I guess I didn't make that very clear. Ayonah appears as a person in the first and second chapter, then appears as a white lion-kirin in the third part.
Nobody seemed to mind.
There is a reason for that, but I didn't exactly get around to explaining it. It's in the prequel.

Ayonah is a God. Or whatever your word is to describe an entity capable of 👍: 0 ⏩: 2
building a world with its own unique flora and fauna, including -multiple- sentient species.
Seems to have an affinity for low bushes, large fungal growths and other odd ground
cover: "we want ... a shrubbery!".
Trees replaced by large, semi-motile flora(a world full of -beds- ... who needs to carry a hammock
with them?). Keeps a close eye on, and gets directly involved with his/her/its sentient creations
at a personal level, unlike that slacker Yhwh.
Of course, if Ayonah was stuck keeping an eye on -Humanity-, he/she/it would also probably lose interest as
well, becoming brittle, embittered - perhaps downright nasty - and become so fidgety that he/she/it would start
to forget to pronounce the vowels in his/her/its name, thus collapsing it to something like 'Ynh
:-D
many thanks - great explanation

Wow, you are really close to what I was getting at... Ayonah is a "God", but in this world "he" still really pays attention to what is going down... because he-she-it is fairly new to this whole "creation" thing, and has not yet been TOTALLY pissed off by the stupidity of the beings hesheit made.
I am pleased that you picked up on the androgyny of Ayonah, even though he is refereed to as "he".
Gods do have tempers.Some are more even tempered than others I could mention.
A-ynh A vowel is needed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought the apostrophe, if "coughed" out, would be close enough to an 'a' without
violating the no-vowel rule. :-D
Also, to me, for a being that powerful, that can take any shape s(he)/it wishes, the
concept of "sex" is like wearing a different polo shirt to work. Not even up to the level
of a Hawaiian Shirt Friday, just different colored polo shirts for each day or whenever the
mood strikes.
If I were a being like this, I'd probably check in on "the experiment" for a few decades,
get bored at the slow rate of development, intentionally do something that ticks off
your creations so they don't mind your absence, and then go off for a few thousand
years. Go into stasis, learn another thousand galactic languages, check up on
your trans-dimensional Facebook page. Take a nap. You're a light sleeper.
Whatever you want to call it, you wake up for the next work day. If you're lucky,
something significant will have occurred with your experiment over those thousand
years(hopefully short of the test tube exploding).
Tweak, twiddle, etc. Careful notation so you don't go around in circles.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
I expect Yhwh to wake up any century now, and start tweaking things again. Maybe it's
"mate" will tell it to roll over in an attempt to get it to stop snoring, and Yhwh wakes up
earlier than it wanted to. And then... you will be living in interesting times. No floods(assuming
it remembers, or reads its own notes), but nothing was said about not trying out solar flares,
planetary billiards or other attempts to force the experiment into doing something interesting.

Oh , ok I guess 'Ynh works, if we are talking Hebrew. Can't have any of those superfluous vowels in there.

Gorgeous! That would make a beautiful back cover!

Heh. Ayonah could just as easily be sitting on a coral reef as on a strangely-vegetated hillside. Love all of that exotic flora. The shapes and colors bring Chihuli's work to mind.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definitely! I spent some time drawing the corals at the Newport Aquarium!
And I went to several Chihuly art shows in LA!
LOVE
