Nebula and the Glimmernauts · Book Two
The Heart of Lumora
In development · planned April 2027
Deep inside Starling, something has been waiting.
When Nebula and Quibbit discover a mysterious Heart Crystal hidden within the ship, its signal points towards Lumora: a once-brilliant crystal world that is now fading, its colours draining to grey.
From the Book Two storyboard — development in progress
A secret in the ship
Starling has carried something all along. Hidden within the ship is a mysterious Heart Crystal, and when it stirs, an unusual map and signal point in one direction.
Towards Lumora.
A world losing its colour
Lumora was once a brilliant world of crystal. Now it is fading, its colours muted and its plants lifeless, the air thin enough that Nebula and Quibbit need compact breathing equipment from Starling.
And Starling, it seems, has a forgotten connection to this place.
The chamber
Among ancient ruins, they find a sealed chamber. Inside is Zylas, preserved for a very long time.
As Zylas’s story begins to unfold, they uncover a past that Quibbit himself no longer remembers.
Left to right: arrival on Lumora, the faded world, and an approved reference portrait of Zylas. Book Two storyboard and character development — in progress.
Built with notes, rules and revisions.
Book Two is being developed using revision history, continuity rules, storyboards and page-by-page production planning. Earlier ideas are kept, struck through in red, with the current decision underneath. A few safe examples:
Begin by travelling directly toward the dying planet.
Begin at Glimmer Ridge with the Book One compass and an unexplained light that Starling recognises.
The sequel now grows directly out of Book One.
The Heart Crystal is quickly found and identified.
The crystal is first experienced indirectly, through a hum, Starling’s reactions and a hidden space.
This preserves mystery.
Some questions are deliberately left open, so the later chapters can earn their answers. Nothing more is revealed here.
