Wasn't, for example, the Book of Darkness referred to as a Lost Logia, as was the Cradle itself? (of course, I assumed that the term "Lost Logia" denotes Alhazaredan origin - that may be my error)

The links between the two are there but weak at best. Though it might not just be coincidence both the BoD and Cradle have relatively recent associations with AB.

The cross on the Belkan magic circle and the BoD does intrigue me on whether the design goes beyond cosmetic and technological purposes to have any deeper connections way back.

...and this just came in.

Spoiler for crack:

"This..impossible..it can't possibly be true..!"

"It's been verified by our own sources as well. The Tome of the Night Sky has been destroyed not one week ago."

"That means.."

"Our means to locate the Motherland through the Tome is now lost."

Muted silence followed the statement from the young man.

"To fail the grand task passed from generations down at our hands is most unimaginable.."

"There remains a single mean. The mistress survived the Tome's destruction. The mistress, Yagami Hayate, played a hand in the destruction of the Tome's defense program before it was deleted. "

"Footage from the battle has shown her in Unison with the avatar of the Tome itself. The possibility of the mistress retaining the secrets and knowledge within the pages of the Night Sky is slight but nonetheless there. If we can get to her, it might just provide a way out."

"Then we should get to this immediately. I'll- "

"No. For now, we scheme. There is no need to rush since she is alive and well."

"For what purpose? Surely nothing could brook a delay in our goals. Centuries this mission has been carried out and-"

"A few more years, even decades would be worth the wait to ensure nothing goes wrong, to not waste the centuries of waiting and effort. We shall make the mistress part of us to facilitate the process."

"Can you be so sure? The current mistress broke the curse laid on the Tome by the Great Betrayer so long ago by sheer willpower! Who do- "

"You think I am? I'm disappointed, so many years we have been together and you still fail to recognize my talent. I'm hurt by your words, Carim. "

"I apologize for my thoughtlessness. For all intends, what do you have in mind Rossa?"

"That is fairly simple. We shall welcome her, embrace her and give her all the support she needs and demands. Elevate her status while bringing her ever closer to the bindings that shall be silently be cast over her. When the time comes, she cannot and shall not decline. Of course, I shall personally see to this."

Sky-blue eyes matched the calm smile as Verossa Acous proclaimed his next declaration.

"To reach the homeland of our past ascendants, Yagami Hayate is already my tool to bring that into reality."

30 years before StrikerS.

Graham should be about 26, if following Nighty's profile.

30 years before Strikers? He would be closer to 30++ since he would be around 70 at least given his comments of his encounter with magic nearly 50 years ago in A's. I might be wrong anyway.

I had planned more, but somehow I overshot my own word limit to 3000+

Will piece together the two part soon... I'll only post it on FF.net after completing a few chapters...

Oh, and 'Nightingale' is just the codeword for that day

Hmm. Good direction to take.

I wanted to keep Graham at Captain level But Nighty had stress that he was Admiral at that age many times so I can't do anything about that

And I will be using these animal words to represent my characters throughout the story I've gotten nicknames for most of them, except Graham He eludes me

Grey Hound.

P.S -

@Tormenk

Images like this,

Spoiler:

Suffice to say I am always on the lookout for more Katrina material.

Though I just remembered the perfect template for her, when a manga I had personally been keeping up with got adapted into anime..

Spoiler:

Ignore the bunch of blue hair though. Completely unrelated.

Moka Akashiya's alternate persona from Rosario+Vampire in case anyone is wondering.

P.P.S -

So, three week into the winter season, how's is the season doing for you guys? My personal favorite has got to be 'True Tears' In terms of... Oh I don't know, everything?

Not watching any new shows yet though quite a number of promising titles this season. Still, I might this pick up since SnH was a good recommendation.

Things will never get old unless they turn black and white.

Well...Lulu IS pretty popular...

Still - I have trouble seeing Pizza Butt like that...

Milly? Kinda, but not really.

Karen? No.

Shirley? HELL NO!

But PIZZA BUTT? Yeah.

And Nunally just gives the whole thing a HUGE dash of creepy!

Commercialized artwork does tend to stray away from characterization to sell, main reason the lack of it among my collection.

Even Nunnally from Nightmare of Nunnally doesn't begin to match the creepier CG stuff floating out there.

Rumors are floating around that someone very similar to C.C. will appear in CG R2. Plus the R2 artwork of her can be pretty misleading.
