Orien The Arts Scholar
When Orien is accepted into the Penhaven Village School for Performing and the Arts, he mingles with free-spirited friends, including promiscuous ladies and herb smoking musicians, while taking potions for anxiety, seeing a therapy counselor and dealing with his parents. In embracing the free life of his fellow artists, poet and scripter Orien triumphs over challenges, but not when it comes to love, as he attempts to win the hearts of Bianca, Willo and others.
Orien Battles the Fog-devils
Orien Sage lives alone and struggles to earn his pay at a small dessert shop. To keep him company he has only his poetry verses on the beauty of the changing seasons of his home and of the beauty in the ladies he meets, which he can ever get close to. He is quickly taken with his new apprentice, Noli, but finds that she already has taken companionship. Noli soon breaks from her companion, but a wealthy and charming heir named Serj wins her over before Orien can. Orien befriends Serj and although he enables him to have his poetry bound in books and sold in a local shop, Serj neglects Noli, who takes ill and is brought to a medic house. Orien longs to step in and be her hero and help her find courage, but his own bottled up emotions cause him to be prey to a dangerous force and in order to find harmony, for his sake, and for the sake of those around him, he must face his fog-devil.
Orien and the League of Artists
It is bloom season on planet Promythica, a time in which the sun shines on the growing sunblossoms and love springs as Orien cannot help being attracted to singer and harpstress, Holli Belle, a former school friend, and will do whatever he can to be a part of her world including joining a select group of friends at a time when such associations could prove risky as the planet is under threat of an underground youth cult known as the Disciples of Dasahd and the dark forces are casting shadows over the colonies.
