Introducing The Dreamspeaker and Reina, Vicereine of Kulnas
“This is a super-important update because we added a character page for one of the most super-important people in the whole LadyStar story! Her name is Reina and she knows everything about magic and fighting. Sometimes people think she’s not very nice but it’s because she doesn’t want any of us to get hurt. Her character page is really interesting and tells a lot about all the history of what happened in LadyStar before we got our treasures.”
“You should see our new book! It’s called The Dreamspeaker! It’s the first book in the LadyStar story and it’s all about when I found a timepiece in Collins Park that had lots of jewels in it! It’s a webnovel and that means you can read all the chapters for free!”
“And don’t forget we have two webnovels. Descent into the Ivyreef Deeps is the first book in the Ajan Champions Series. In the story we’ve got all our powers and training, and so there’s a ton of battles and lots of action!”
“Not only do we have two webnovels, but we’ve got two webcomics too. Check Part One of Fury of the Venom Legion because our webcomics are about ripping it up.”
“But that’s not the best part of this update. We’ve got a new page in our new Hall of Warriors, and it’s all about the genius on our team. She’s got an invincible shield and the power to make trees fight for her. She’s known as the Storyteller Warrior, and without her, it would be tougher for us to win when we have to fight. It’s the Ajan Warrior of the Forest.”
“Or if you want to skip all the serious important stuff, you could just read about pizza or vampires in the Band Room.”
“See? We always gots the best updates because there’s always a zillion different things going on at our web sites. Don’t miss our next updates. The Ajan Champions Webnovels site updates every Wednesday and Saturday, ’cause now we got two books, and our webcomic which is called Jessica Hoshi and the Ajan Warriors updates on Monday and Thursday, and then on the other days we got Band Room updates and SupaGamepowa too. Ja minna!”
“What’s up LadyStar fans? Ranko here. Goofy and the rest of the crowd are over at the band room updating like crazy so it’s up to me and Miss Shannon to give the heads up to all our comic readers. Chapter Three of our webnovel Descent into the Ivyreef Deeps is up and ready for action.”
“Ranko and I have got quite a fight going with some nasty shrieks too. Descent into the Ivyreef Deeps is the first story in the Ajan Champions Series and it updates every Wednesday and Saturday. Our new story chapters are written for the web, so they’re quick reads, just like our comics. The Ajan Champions Series takes place after Jessica Hoshi and the Ajan Warriors. We’ve got all our powers and training, so you can expect a lot of action and battles!”
“That’s what we do best! If you need a break from all this adventure, come on over to the Band Room and see what the Goofball Express is cooking up. There’s always something going on around here, folks. See you on Saturday for the next update! We out!”
A group of Sai Magnen’s crude and belligerent brawlers are surprised by the Warrior of the River at Razor Pass. The battle is joined! Can the Winterdancer alone defeat so many fighters?
Reina, the Vicereine of Kulnas, believes she knows the Cryptic’s plan, but with the Ajan Warriors seperated, they cannot protect each other from his ravenous horde of enslaved creatures. Jessica Hoshi and her friends are forced to rely on their own powers to defend themselves while they race against time to reunite before the Cryptic completes his preparations to strike!
LadyStar: The Fury of the Venom Legion is a full-color weekly webcomic updated every Thursday exclusively on the Magical and Mysterious World of LadyStar!
The Battle of Kulnas Forge still haunts Thesian lore. The simple farmers and villagers of that forgotten region sincerely believed the white fire in the skies would be their last living sight. An invading army of ten thousand solidiers was swept into history that night, and the kingdom they served mortally crippled. Whatever or whomever saved Thesia did not remain to accept the gratitude of those who had survived. Generations later, on a cold deserted battlefield among the abandoned shields and weapons of the unfortunate, a single shining relic known as the Varcarel Jade is discovered by a foolish adventurer.
It may be the key to unleashing enough power to destroy the armies of a King, and now, only a fool stands between that power and the malevolent designs of the Cryptic Sai Vasek. If it should fall into his control, even Jessica Hoshi and the Ajan Warriors may be unable to stop him and his legendary Bloodsword from annihilating everything in his path.
LadyStar: The Varcarel Jade is the LadyStar weekly manga series updated every Monday exclusively on the Magical and Mysterious World of LadyStar!
“That’s where we’re going to put all of our illustrations from the LadyStar manga, visual novel, books, webcomics, game and even some of the first concept sketches of our characters and the people and creatures in Aventar!”
“That’s my best friend Shannon-sama! She’s a magical warrior just like us! She has the powers of the night and starlight and Kishi is her pet that helps her fight because he’s a magical cat.”
“Konnichi-waaaa minna-san! It’s me Jessie! We got something super neat today because of the new comics group we’re in! It’s called Palace in the Sky Publishing!”
“There’s thousands of pages of comics on that site now. There’s 18 different comics!”
“That’s right. No comics are as cool as our pals.”
“Looky what we got!”
“It’s a color comic just like ours!”
“Yeah! Except it’s got zombies and stuff. It’s about a boy named ‘Cat Legend’ and he fights monsters and villains just like us!”
“Z-bot to Hana. This is a Gamepowa Video Alert. Transmitting.”
“Errrr.. Report, Z-bot?”
“Data located by secondary criteria directive from Ranko Yorozu, ninth grade student. Keywords ‘tough girls’ returned two versions of Nim’s Island movie trailers. Standing by with secondary transmission.”
“Yeah uhhh.. heh heh heh… I told Z-bot to find some games for tough girls.”
“Yeah Ranko used my communicator to talk to Z-bot and I said I like adventure movies too!”
“Looks like a cool movie. Let’s go with it.”
“Yay!”
“Hana computers set to continuous-scan. Transmit when ready, Z-bot.”
“Alanna-sama’s gonna help me answer a question about her warrior form from my coolest Jessie’s Letters page! Hi Alanna-sama!”
“Hey Hoshi, what’s up?”
“Okay, we gots this question from ‘Score’ and it says Alanna-sama, your balance is really good right? In Ajan form can you walk in a straight line blindfolded?”
“Alanna can do anything if she has her staff. She’s really fast too!”
“The Quarterseeker’s most powerful ability is that it gives me perfect balance. I don’t have to be able to see to use it’s powers, so yeah, I suppose I could walk straight if I had a blindfold.”
“Okay, so what if, like, you get knocked down? Does that staff keep you from falling?”
“What are you going to knock her down with? She can jump 30 feet in the air from a standing start!”
“Sugoi!”
“Well, let’s just say something runs into her in a fight. Does the staff keep her from falling down?”
“Probably not. It doesn’t make me invincible, but it does allow me to use my speed and quickness in combat without having to worry about momentum pushing me off balance.”
“Slick. If you want to read about Drum Major girl in a tough fight, check out this Chapter from Winterdancer when she beats up like five guys at once. Just plain win.”
“Hooray for Alanna-sama! If you got a question, send e-mail to meeeeee Jessica Hoshi on my Jessie’s Letters page! Ja!”
“That’s Talitha’s barrette! See the one with the two leaves? The green parts are emeralds and the gold parts are real gold! Talitha wears it around like all of us and she can turn it into a big shield.”
“Hey Professor!”
“Hmmm?”
“Talitha-chan! Looky at your new design! Isn’t it super-cool?”
“Looks like this week’s Magical Treasure is our brand new Ajan Warrior of the Sunrise black t-shirt.”
“Ooh, nice design. I guess this means we’re going to have a new Sunrise page in the Hall of Warriors pretty soon.”
“Yeeeee! I can’t wait. The best part is Shannon-sama donates some of what the Gift Shop makes to benefit the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls! We got lots more gifts in Shannon-sama’s shop too. See ya!”
“Leila-sama! We got another e-mail question from my super-neat Jessie’s Letters page!”
“It is a question with profound meaning?”
“Uh uh.”
“It is a question that seeks the deepest mysteries of the universe?”
“Nope.”
“It is a question that will challenge our understanding of our existence?”
“It’s a question about being a drummer in marching band.”
“Oh, that’s easy.”
“Sometimes Leila frightens me.”
“Heheee… okay. The question says ‘In your story you said the drummers play a cadence. What’s a cadence?’”
“Cake question.”
“Cadence is when the drum section plays a rythym so the rest of the formation can keep time with their steps. We have four cadences in the Lions Band. The first two are full cadences.”
“That’s the one you start!”
“Yeah. Full Cadence Green starts with a roto-tom solo.”
“The other one is our ‘good morning’ cadence.”
“Full Cadence Gold starts with a full section downbeat and cymbal crash.”
“Good morning cadence?”
“We like to play Full Cadence Gold on Collins Circle over behind the school so if anyone in the neighborhood across the street didn’t hear their alarm clock we help them wake up.”
“Yay! Ohayo minna! It’s a bright sunshiney day!”
“Well, except for that one guy who stood in his driveway yelling at us that one day last year.”
“I think he thought we were trying to annoy everyone. Until we marched past his house in parade formation and played ‘National Emblem’ during after-school practice. His wife baked cookies for all of us the next day and brought them to the band room. She said he was so proud to have a parade in front of his house he almost cried. What a nice old couple too.”
“That’s cool. What are the other two cadences?”
“We have one called a ‘Silent Cadence’ if we’re marching up to a performance area at parades. There’s a couple hundred yards where bands aren’t allowed to make a lot of noise because it disrupts the bands in the performance area, so we play that cadence on the rims of our drums.”
“That’s the tick-tock cadence. All drum rims, traps and glockenspiels.”
“That’s the one that sounds like a carnival! I like the tick-tock cadence best.”
“The fourth one is a simple corps cadence. One snare plays the measure downbeats. We use that for starting formations on the field.”
“Now which one do we play in the tunnel at Brown Stadium?”
“Full Cadence Gold, baby.”
“Yeah!”
“Maximum volume. Maximum power.”
“Yay! Arigato minna-san! If you got a question or a comment or just wanna say ‘hi!’ you can send me e-mail on my Jessie’s Letters page and we might even get to answer your question right here on our site! Ja ne!”
