Aven is one of the 3 "Ghosts of Oros", he chases down and fights Rohta in an attempt to take the Shard of Tephim from them

He is notably softer than his other two cohorts, giving Rohta the chance to hand over the shard before resorting to violence

Maybe the Ghosts' motives aren't all aligned...?

night sky with stars, a multcoloured band forms a ring

Seven Moons were shattered, Two were sealed away.

The Pieces of the Seven rained down wiping the land clean... but not all fell. Some were left in orbit and formed a multicolored ring, a haunting band made from those Seven Moon's remnants...

a fight between two characters. One is dodging the other's attacks, as he swings with a knife

a character dodges and atttempts to counter an invisible foe's attacks

my comic has been described as if it were a storyboard for a movie, and I think that's pretty accurate to what I'm going for

I have a vivid imagination, when i read text I visualize it as a movie/animation. I'm not an animator or a film maker, so comics are the best I can do

i love to use the 3 panel format to show the same shot through passing time

Chapter 6 for patrons will be delayed by two days (Wednesday Dec 4th)

Chapter 5 will go up on Webtoons as expected on the 2nd

Anything worth killing for is worth dying for... right? Assassins want to claim the Shard of Tephim, and take the wish from the Ishtani. Read Sojourn Star's first 4 chapters for free on webtoons.

Rohta wearing a traditional women's Ishtani head dress, back turned to the viewer. Two long banners with the Ishtani symbol (a diamond with a dot in the middle) hang in the back ground

Rohta turns to face the viewer. Master Teki's face is obscured by darkness as he looks down on them.
