don't go where I can't follow

"There's something Adela needs to tell Maya. Will she be able to say what she truly feels before it's too late?"Don't Go Where I Can't Follow is a story set in a floating island in the sky and follows Adela as she sorts out her feelings and tries to muster up the courage to speak the words she's been too scared to say.This is a bite-sized story about love, longing, and the fear of losing those you love. It is also very very sapphic. Please take note.

Kahel Arcana (she/her) is a character designer and illustrator from the Philippines. She has done a lot of client work bringing beloved D&D and fantasy characters to life in a visual medium. Her inspiration comes from local and international mythology as well as from the various period wear of western and Asian cultures.Asides from drawing, she's also a huge fantasy and sci-fi nerd and loves to read books that are far too big to read in one day. On weekends, she immerses herself in whatever TTRPG campaign her and her friends have come up with.She hopes to someday finish a zine containing illustrations and a rather sapphic short story about a mermaid, a wizard, and a library that holds every book ever written.
