In the Gaelic language, Dochas means Hope, while Cion means Love. Now, being no Gaelic speaker myslef, it seems I'll just have to take the online translator's word for it all.
In fact, there is no reason for those words, for the stories aren't based on Ireland, no are the people Irish. It just sounded... nice and elegant. Which is why it is being used not only as the title for the webpage, but the title of the following stories.
The stories are all interconnected through one. The reason it was started is simple. I dreamt of Anarae Xavier, and I just had to create a novel for her. Except I didn't know where to start. So I started with her, her main background and realized there was no story.
So I got thinking. What do I know about this girl?
The next day, I dreamt of Imeras Raul, the sassy in your face singer who holds a potent power within her voice.
Then came Henri de Sol, also known as Valden di Omicio, except he was more subtle. Refined, like french wine and probably just as old.
These characters came to me one by one, no story, no nothing. So I decided to write of them instead, saving Anarae Xavier to last until sooner or later, I came across the right path for her to lead.
