“But there is always something to look back to about endings, whether it is happy or not. And I think one should be able to thank the universe, that even the world gets rough, there still is something to be cherished for a moment in a billion stars. And perhaps, that alone, makes your ending better than the rest that matters.”
CHAPTER XCIV: Finale; The Beginning of an End
“Ragen Holler…” he spoke slowly, unable to find the correct words to add to that.
The man in the dark did not utter for a moment, then he started to walk down. “What are you up to? Going up this building alone?”
“Robin, you know him?” whispered
Giona LebracoI am here to say I am very emotional closing this story with such a crazy ending. The entire book had been a crazy ride itself, but I am certain this isn’t how I initially plotted it to finish. Nevertheless, it is not a feeling of regret, or disappointment. For the very first time in my life, I have finished a novel, finally! GoodNovel must be one of the most beautiful blessings I have received this year. Thank you, GN. And thank you, readers for sticking with Robin all throughout the insanities. I will look back to this day forever. This is how far it goes for now. Thank you. Let us meet in between crying rivers, and dry land someday again. To more adventures! — Giona Lebraco

A Train to Kokoshi I: An Old Trainwreck
“You shall find magic everywhere once you become a dreamer.” CHAPTER I: An Old Trainwreck; First Peculiar Experience I WOKE UP without knowing that this day would be different. Still, it was the same shards of light that blinded my view when I looked up at the sky. A little morning greeting from the heavens, I must say. I then wrapped myself with my usual dirty coat and trod out my tent, eyes puffy and hair frizzy. Yet I kept my mind refreshed. What another bright day to explore the world now. I caught the shimmers of the vast sea with my eye, and I breathed the air of mist. The clouds seemed to be thin and the birds were lively. The sound of waves and the salty breeze seemed to awaken me from my doze. And I gave off a

“You don’t just fuel your ideas. Your ideas fuel you.” CHAPTER II: Old Man with Horses; You Have Amnesia, Prince Sigmund FAIRY TALES DON’T exist, I have known. It is all but fantasy. When I was young, I was told that they are mere illusions put into words. A made-up idea to fuel children’s imagination. To inspire creative people into building something beautiful with their bare minds. But right now, somehow… I thought I could start believing it. First thing I spotted by the time I awoke was the foreign environment I was in. The smell of air was different. The sky was unfamiliar. The sea was gone. T
A Train to Kokoshi III: Kingdom of Kokoshi
“A poisoned truth equatest o a magic lie.” CHAPTER III: Kingdom of Kokoshi; A Woman In Suit THE CASTLE WAS located at the center of the whole Kokoshi town as I had perceived. The thread of hills I saw from the port earlier today wasn’t the end of the road, instead it hid the entirety of the chateau. In between two hills, stood up a high, heavy-looking, wooden gate. With iron bars clasping it together, and spiky metals on the above tip, it looked tough and finely compressed—just as it should be. Beside the gate, sat one gatehouse, which I assume to be where the knights settled to guard the entrance.

“Playing the role of someone else is hard, until you start forgetting who you are.” CHAPTER IV: The Army and His Troupe; Details About the Country, Donn Heriota ON THE SECOND crimson-carpeted floor of the cobblestone castle situated yet another big chamber. I was inside. We were inside: Raul, Beto, and I, with this young warrior lady. She followed us up here in the room where the king and queen presently occupy. I had no problems with that. I couldn’t care less about anything except the way I had to bestow myself to the bloodline, claiming I sure am their child. I was looking at the two most important people of the town right now. Their eyes were on fire—not the type that could burn me alive. It was filled with compassion and woe and tender
A Train to Kokoshi V: Poisoned Arrows and a Flying Eye
“A mystery is a tribute to another buried mystery people gave up unveiling.” CHAPTER V: Poisoned Arrows and a Flying Eye; A Sudden Death of a Comrade I THOUGHT THESE veins around my brain could rupture from so much anxiety. I have never felt so nervous my entire life—not even in those stupid singing competitions I have participated in at school before. I was known to be a composed person, and if I ever try to goof around (which is rare), I make sure it is only when I am with my very trusted friends. But right now? I don’t think I’m still the same person I used to be. “Hey, are you alright?” I’ve got no clue about how I could still pull myself together if this

“There is nothing more dangerous than knowing nothing.” CHAPTER VI: Chaos of Yesterday Lies Tomorrow; A Message on the Black Paper IN THAT EVENING, the diners were immediately told to go back to their units. I encountered Raul and Beto on my way from the hall and they didn’t seem to understand the situation. Too bad, they were just about to eat and this happened. I did not have the time to explain the details to them anymore, for Meredith was bossing me around. We had to report it to the King and Queen right away after all, as we should. So I commanded some maids to entertain the two and never let them go home with empty bellies instead. We found the King and Queen in the middle of some business. An
A Train to Kokoshi VII: Before the Big Event
“Forgetting about a problem doesnot mean solving it.” CHAPTER VII: Before the Big Event; Preparations and the Big Waterfalls “I GOT AN important report from the two other kingdoms…” I started, looking at them intently. “It was relayed to me by Mother. They made contact yesterday afternoon and she learned that the poisoning also happened not only in this town but as well as to the other two.” “Oh my God,” Salina reacted. “This is getting crazier.” Ragen nodded. “It makes things more complicated, but somehow, also leads us one step ahead,” he pondered. &nb

“And like dandelions, life can be beautiful too, if you wish to seek the beauty in it.” CHAPTER VIII: Betrothed; The Unexpected Revelation BY THE SUN was on its way up back with the clouds again, was also when we finally reached a shade—which was the gatehouse. I was not particularly fretting about the load, nor the heat from the sun. I am used to this. I used to work in a hotter temperature than this in a certain market of Piterbern, with two sacks of either farm vegetables or field corn on my back, loading and unloading cargoes, and even assigned to clean a particularly wide stinky area in the market when one of the merchant’s assistant was not around. Of course, I would never decline a task, especially when I know I need extra money. I was that diligent before. <
