I adore the concept you have here, it reminds me of a more action packed and thrilling Haibane Renmei. The idea of this being a place inhabited by spirits who aren't able to move on, the well holding them, the tribes keeping them safe, helping them fulfill what they need for their spirit to pass on. It's so captivating. I really love how Blayne calls Sedra out when he first sees her, some real feeling conversation for sure. In fact, you have plenty of great lines in here, and as the story progresses there is a real sense of poetry in the language that adds to the epic fantasy feel set up in the first half. It does feel like there is plenty of potential in the concept, the tribes, the warlord, the spire and it's role, this could make for a great longer story, but then, it does work on it's own.

I really enjoyed the ending, the acknowledgment of Nox, and his loyalty rewarded. As the point to end it on, it is really powerful! <3
