Character Roundup: The Misty Isles

Songs of the Abyss

Kim Junmyeon

Appointed mayor of the Misty Isles after his father passed away after an attack by the Naga. Reluctant, indecisive, and extremely young, Junmyeon has to settle a maritime trade route with Glasskeep for the promise of security, while attempting to protect his town from the recent Naga attacks. Though trained to be the next mayor, he never quite gotten the grasp of the role, and had dedicated most of his time to secretly learning how to play a flute, a secret only his closest friends know.

Choi Minho

Weapon: Spear

Junmyeon’s childhood best friend and current adviser. Growing up protective of his smaller, less sturdy best friend, Minho has become a source of support and reassurance for the young mayor. Well-read and Having been together since birth, Minho has since harbored a not so little crush on Junmyeon, the concept only being foreign to the man in question.

Kim Jessi

Weapon: Trident and dagger

Junmyeon’s older sister, and the mayor’s other advisor. The she is the oldest in the family, she did not assume the mayoral position due to her being a woman, even though she was the most well-equipped to assume the position. She was adamantly against her little brother being appointed mayor, mainly because she knew her brother did not want the position, and was reluctant to lead. She becomes a strong influence in the current negotiations with Glasskeep.

Kim Youngwoon

Weapon: War Axe

One of the Vanguard Generals of Glasskeep, twelve of the best fighters, strategists, and scholars of the kingdom, he is present for the talks for the maritime trade with the Misty Isles. Fierce and unrelenting when it comes to battle, and a master of maritime vessels, though his temper sometimes gets in the way.

Cho Kyuhyun

Weapon: Whip and Sickle

Calm, collected, and calculating, the master strategist of the Vanguard Generals, Kyunhyun is known for his guile and intelligence on and off the battlefield. Revered for his diplomacy, and sometimes his manipulation, he has been given the title “Iron Envoy” for his record with diplomatic missions for Glasskeep.

Chapter 22: Whoops, seems I'm a little bit late to this update
I can only presume that the ko ko bop hast given thou new strength to persevere ^^

Even if it's not what you expected of this chapter - well, plans are made to be altered, are they not?
It still is a astounding addition to the story, where previously no big battle has occurred and this is a culmination of the current story arc up 'till now.
The switching between different parts of the battle show a myriad of reactions to the battle, whilst also keeping us updated on several character's whereabouts and keeping up the tense atmosphere.
I think this chapter really helps establish everyone's character - like Suho, and Chanyeol - or acknowledging character development - like Baekhyun. The tidbit about Kyungsoo's experience is really neat, by the way - giving us some more context into his education and powers compared to the others who the story has focused on instead up to this point. Kudos to that, and keep it up! I think that it's a good way to shine focus on established characters such as the trio of Kyungsoo, Chaneyeol and Jongdae.

Following from previous chapters, there's no glaring mistakes and even the small (easily missed) grammatical errors are rather minimal and have lessened substantially. On that note...
I'm sorry if I'm nit-picking, but in my opinion I'm not certain it is within Baekhyun's character to say something as serious as the last line. This is his first battle, after all.

Keep up the good work!
Love following this story and always willing to help out! ^^
