This is a small spark of an idea. Though I'm truly interested in developing it, it will heavily depend on feedback, time and a lot of other small things wheneter or not it will come to fruition. I will however, try my utmost to develop it on my free time and further detail the content on this page.
I apologize that it is initially quite empty here, but as I said, things will come in the right time.
This is supposed to be a short game (I know myself well enough to know this might become a bigger project later on), for me to try out the many Renpy features.

When the curtain finally came up as gentle crescendo began, it was as if a new world revealed itself through a hidden window.
Everything inside that frame before my eyes was so perfectly in place that I began to instinctively reject its existence.
A world where people as elegant as statues, but with the feet as light as a bird's landing,
jumped in shifting patterns within a fantasy palace.
To my twelve-year-old eyes they were impossibly perfect to be, like a whole galaxy reflecting on a winter lake.
But then, he began to dance as if blooming from within and all the stars disappeared from sight.
For he was the sun, and the sky belonged to him.

Characters
Carol White: A talented ballerina from the large (yet poor) kingdom of Iwevell, renowned for her grace and discipline in national competitions. She is a kind, shy, and determined person, whose dreams seem to push her forward to grow into something much bigger than she initially thinks even possible. She suffers from sleep disorders due to constant stress, a fact that greatly influenced her performance on the last few years and her motivation to continue studying ballet. Her biggest dream is to perform at The Meridian Theater alongside her childhood idol.
Luciano Alencar Vasconcelos : A male ballet dancer whose decorated career is the subject of many conversations among the nobles. Handsome, talented and the holder of three first places on the International Ballet Competition Senior division on solo presentations, it's hard to imagine there's anything lacking in his life. However as the years go by and his body strains more than ever to keep up with the harsh training, Luciano has secretly decided to follow his hearth to a life beyond the stages.
More to come soon...
