THE BEGINNING OF ELIEV
Original concept

I was around 15 when I truly started creating the characters who would one day appear in my books, along with weapons, items and countless ideas for the world around them.

This image was one of my earliest designs for what would eventually become Kazyuki’s weapon. Even back then, I was captivated by the beauty of the weapon and the idea behind it. Years later, that early weapon concept would evolve into something far greater — Eliev, the Goddess of Heat and Ice, and the living weapon Kazyuki carries today.
