Since the dawn of existence, angels and demons have been locked in an eternal struggle, their fates intertwined in the grand cosmic balance of light and darkness, virtue and vice, order and chaos. Angels, the celestial sentinels of the divine, were born from the light of creation, their forms woven from the purest energy, radiating an ethereal glow that shone across the celestial spheres. Their wings, vast and luminescent, bore them across the heavens, their voices resounding in harmonies that formed the very music of the cosmos. They were the first children of the divine, fashioned to uphold the will of their Creator, embodying justice, wisdom, and love, their existence defined by their unwavering devotion to the Great Plan. Among them, the Archangels stood supreme, beings of immeasurable power and understanding, commanders of the celestial host, each imbued with a unique purpose—Michael, the warrior, wielding his flaming sword against the forces of darkness; Gabriel, the herald, carrying the sacred word to the mortal realm; Raphael, the healer, mending both celestial wounds and the ailments of humankind; and Uriel, the keeper of knowledge, whose gaze pierced the veil of time itself. They ruled not as tyrants, but as guardians, their authority unquestioned, for their hearts pulsed with the very essence of the divine will, their purpose unquestionable, their existence a testament to order and righteousness.
But where there is light, there must also be shadow. From the depths of ambition and defiance, demons were born—not as separate entities, but as fallen angels, their radiance blackened by rebellion, their purity twisted into malevolence. It was Lucifer, the Morning Star, the most beautiful and intelligent of all angels, whose pride became the catalyst for the great celestial schism. Discontent with servitude, he sought not to destroy but to rule, to carve his own dominion where angels would no longer bow to the Creator’s unseen hand. With a silver tongue and a mind as sharp as any blade, he swayed countless legions to his cause, and so, war erupted in the heavens. The sky was torn asunder by the clash of divine energies, wings burned away by celestial fire, and the choirs of heaven were drowned beneath the roars of battle. For eons, the war raged, until at last, Lucifer and his followers were cast down, their fall an agonizing descent into the abyss, where they became the rulers of a dark and twisted dominion—the infernal pit, Hell, a kingdom of despair and suffering. No longer were they creatures of light, but of shadow, their forms monstrous, their beauty corrupted, their wings tattered remnants of what once was.

Here’s a Dani-style devlog script—fast-paced, chaotic, and dripping with self-deprecating humor. Dani’s signature style relies on exaggerated reactions, meme-worthy edits, and over-the-top delivery, so this script leans into that energy.
Title: DevLog #1 – I Made a Cube Move and It Broke Everything
[Opening Scene: Intense, fast-paced montage of Unity loading, error messages, and a cube flying wildly off-screen.]
Voiceover (Dramatic):
"What happens when an idiot tries to make a game? THIS."
[Cut to loud EDM music and a title animation that just says: "DevLog #1 – CUBE CHAOS."]
Section 1: Why Cubes?
[Footage of a cube spinning dramatically, with epic music in the background.]
Voiceover:
"Every great game starts somewhere, and for me, that somewhere is… a cube. Why? Because I have no idea what I’m doing. But cubes are simple, and I like simple."
[Cut to Dani-style face cam reaction with sarcastic tone.]
"I mean, it’s not like making a cube move is rocket science, right? RIGHT?!"
Section 2: The First Attempt
[Footage of Unity editor with the cube in a blank scene.]
Voiceover:
"So, I started with the basics: make the cube move. Easy. I wrote this tiny bit of code… AND… nothing happened. Nice. Classic dev move."
[Clip of Dani-style sarcastic narration as errors appear on the screen.]
"Turns out, Unity doesn’t like it when you forget to add a Rigidbody. Who needs physics anyway?"
[Footage of the cube vibrating wildly.]
"This is what happens when you don’t respect the laws of physics. Einstein would be proud."
Section 3: It’s Alive!
[Dramatic clip of the cube moving correctly for the first time, accompanied by an over-the-top victory sound effect.]
Voiceover (Exaggerated):
"AND BOOM! The cube moves! I AM A GAME DEV GOD. Step aside, AAA studios."
[Sudden cut to the cube glitching through the floor.]
"Okay, maybe not."
Section 4: Adding Spice
[Footage of particle effects, absurd lighting, and unnecessary features being added to the cube.]
Voiceover:
"Because moving a cube isn’t cool enough, I gave it some spice. Sparkles? Check. Trails? Double check. And obviously, I added a jump button, because why not?"
[Gameplay clip of the cube jumping… and flying off into space.]
"Okay, maybe that was too much spice."
Section 5: The Bigger Picture
[Clip of a poorly sketched game concept on a napkin.]
Voiceover:
"So, what’s the plan? Well, this cube is just the beginning. One day, this cube will have levels, enemies, and maybe even multiplayer. But first… I need to figure out why it keeps exploding."
[Cut to exaggerated footage of cube explosions.]
Outro
[Footage of Unity crashing or an absurd glitch happening.]
Voiceover:
"So, that’s it for DevLog #1! The cube moves… kind of. Is this the beginning of a revolutionary game? Absolutely. Will it break the internet? Probably not. But stick around anyway!"
[Cut to face cam with over-the-top energy.]
"Don’t forget to SMASH that subscribe button, join the Discord for maximum chaos, and tell me in the comments why my cube is better than yours. PEACE!"
[Outro screen with blaring EDM, social media links, and a text overlay that says: “Next time: The Cube Learns to Fight!”]
Key Notes for Execution:
Editing Style:
Fast cuts, meme-worthy sound effects, zoom-ins, and text overlays for sarcastic commentary.
Use stock sound effects like "bruh" or "oh no" at key moments.
Tone:
Over-the-top confidence paired with constant self-deprecating humor.
Emphasize the chaos and "I have no idea what I’m doing" energy.
Cliffhanger:
Hype up the next step in an absurd way, like teaching the cube to "fight" or "destroy worlds."
This format captures Dani’s vibe: chaotic, funny, and somehow still relatable. Would you like a more specific breakdown of video edits or comedic timing tips?

DevLog#2 – Moving Cubes and Baby Steps
Introduction:
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the devlog series. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join our Discord for behind-the-scenes discussions. This week, it’s all about learning by doing—and sometimes breaking things while learning! Progress feels slow but steady, and yes, I’m still just moving cubes.
Rant:
Let’s talk about how moving a cube isn’t just moving a cube. It’s about learning the Unity editor, discovering shortcuts, and realizing just how much work goes into even the simplest mechanics. It’s easy to underestimate game development until you dive in and feel the complexity of every little thing. But the reward? That little cube obeys your commands, and it’s like magic!
Solution:
I spent this week focusing on Unity basics: transforming objects, rotating them, and experimenting with scale. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s foundational. My next step? Making this happen through scripting instead of the editor.
Cliffhanger:
What happens when I finally open up the code editor and tell Unity what to do? Will the cube move, or will everything break? Stay tuned!
To Do (Next Steps):
Learn how to script cube movement using C#.
Explore Unity’s interface further to uncover useful shortcuts.
Start experimenting with Unity’s physics system.

DevLog#4 – Animation Meets Waypoints
Introduction:
Hey, everyone! Welcome to DevLog#4. Don’t forget to smash that like button, subscribe for more updates, and join our Discord community to chat about game dev struggles and triumphs. This week, I faced a big challenge—integrating animations and waypoints. Let’s dive into the chaos!
Rant:
Who knew combining animations with waypoints could be so complicated? It feels like every time I solve one problem, three more pop up. Animations look great in isolation, but the moment they interact with game logic… well, let’s just say “bugs galore.” Still, I can’t help but appreciate how these challenges push me to grow.
Solution:
I’ve been dissecting tutorials and reverse-engineering code snippets to make progress. It’s slow, but I managed to get basic animations working along a waypoint path. There’s still a lot to refine, but at least it’s no longer a slideshow!
Cliffhanger:
Will I manage to sync animations perfectly with movement, or will I end up breaking everything again? Let’s find out in the next episode!
To Do (Next Steps):
Tweak animation timings to match waypoint transitions.
Learn about Unity’s Animator Controller in more depth.

DevLog#5 – Designing the Game’s Look
Introduction:
Hello, fellow devs! Welcome to DevLog#5. Quick reminder to like and subscribe if you enjoy these updates, and don’t forget to join the Discord for exclusive insights. This week, I focused on the game’s visual identity. From UI concepts to camera setups, I explored how to make the game look and feel polished.
Rant:
Naming a game is hard. Seriously, how do people come up with names that are both catchy and meaningful? I’ve spent way too much time staring at a blank document trying to brainstorm ideas. On top of that, designing a UI that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing? Let’s just say it’s a work in progress.
Solution:
After experimenting with camera angles and UI layouts, I’ve decided to keep things simple for now. The focus is on functionality, and the polish can come later. Oh, and I’ve got a few name ideas written down—baby steps!
Cliffhanger:
Will I finally decide on a name for the game, or will it stay in “Project Untitled” limbo forever? Stay tuned!
To Do (Next Steps):
Finalize a rough draft of the game’s UI layout.
Research best practices for designing game menus and HUDs.

DevLog#13 – Introducing Basic AI Behavior
Introduction:
Hello, everyone! It’s DevLog#13, and as usual, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join our Discord server. This week’s focus was on introducing basic AI behavior for enemy characters—a challenging yet rewarding milestone.
Rant:
Creating AI behavior is like teaching a toddler to follow rules. The code does what you tell it to, but not always what you mean. Debugging AI logic is a whole new level of frustration.
Solution:
I started with simple state-based logic—idle, patrol, chase, and attack. Unity’s NavMesh system made movement straightforward, but tweaking detection ranges and behavior priorities took some trial and error. Watching the AI finally work (mostly) as intended was worth the struggle.
Cliffhanger:
Will the AI pass the next set of stress tests, or will it crumble under complex scenarios? Tune in to find out!
To Do (Next Steps):
Expand AI behavior with additional states (e.g., flee, investigate noise).
Test AI interactions with different player actions and environments.
Optimize performance for larger scenes with multiple AI agents.
Will Do (Future Goals):
Add basic animations for AI states.
Experiment with group behaviors like formations or coordinated attacks.
Problem:
The AI occasionally gets stuck on obstacles or reacts unpredictably to edge cases. This requires more refinement in pathfinding and state transitions.
Conclusion:
That’s all for DevLog#13! Implementing AI has been a steep learning curve, but it’s also one of the most exciting parts of development so far. Got tips for designing smarter AI? Let me know in the comments. Like, subscribe, and I’ll catch you next time!

DevLog#14 – Crafting a Unique Combat System
Introduction:
Hello, amazing dev community! Welcome to DevLog#14. You know the drill: smash that like button, subscribe, and hop into our Discord to chat with fellow enthusiasts. This week, I embarked on a journey to design and implement a unique combat system—something that stands out but stays intuitive.
Rant:
Combat design is a balancing act. It’s easy to overcomplicate things and lose sight of the player’s experience. Between juggling mechanics, animations, and damage systems, it felt like I was spinning plates on a tightrope.
Solution:
I simplified the core mechanics into three layers: basic attacks, charged abilities, and combos. Instead of overwhelming players, these options build on each other naturally. The animation system in Unity added life to the actions, and tweaking hitboxes gave the combat a satisfying feel.
Cliffhanger:
Does the combat system hit the sweet spot between simplicity and depth? The next playtest will reveal the answer!
To Do (Next Steps):
Add sound effects and particle systems for attacks.
Balance damage values across different abilities.
Test the responsiveness of combo inputs.
Will Do (Future Goals):
Introduce a skill tree to let players customize their combat style.
Experiment with environmental interactions during combat (e.g., destructible objects).
Problem:
Ensuring that all actions feel fluid while keeping input lag minimal has been a persistent challenge. This may require optimizing animations and transitions further.
Conclusion:
That’s it for DevLog#14! Designing combat is tough but rewarding when it clicks. Share your favorite combat mechanics in games below. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and I’ll see you in the next log.
DevLog#15 – Exploring Level Design Fundamentals
Introduction:
Hey, developers! It’s DevLog#15, and as always, like, subscribe, and join our Discord for exclusive behind-the-scenes updates. This week was all about level design—shaping spaces that challenge and guide players while looking amazing.
Rant:
Level design is deceptively complex. You think it’s just placing objects and terrain, but it’s actually about storytelling, pacing, and creating an experience. I spent hours tweaking paths that seemed “off” but couldn’t articulate why.
Solution:
I broke levels into smaller sections with clear objectives, adding visual cues like lighting and landmarks to guide players naturally. Unity’s ProBuilder tool made blocking out levels faster, and feedback from testers helped refine the flow.
Cliffhanger:
Will the level layouts pass the ultimate test: player enjoyment? Stay tuned for the results!
To Do (Next Steps):
Add environmental storytelling elements (e.g., props and textures).
Test traversal mechanics like jumps and climbable areas.
Experiment with interactive objects to make the levels feel alive.
Will Do (Future Goals):
Integrate dynamic lighting to enhance atmosphere.
Design hidden areas for exploration rewards.
Problem:
It’s tricky to balance aesthetics with gameplay functionality. Some sections look great but play poorly, requiring constant adjustments.

Here’s a more Dani-style DevLog#7, full of chaotic energy and humor:
DevLog#7 – Bugs, Systems, and Big Decisions (aka Why Does Unity Hate Me?)
INTRO:
What’s up, gamers?! It’s ya boi back with another devlog! DevLog#7, baby! This week, I wrestled with bugs, made some questionable decisions, and broke the game like five times. It was glorious. If you’re into game dev chaos, smash that like button and subscribe for more unhinged content. Let’s get into it.
BUGS. WHY.
Okay, hear me out: I thought the game was stable. BIG mistake. The game said, “Oh? Stable? Nah fam, here’s some chaos.”
The UI straight-up stopped working.
Players? Gone. Vanished. Poof.
Oh, and random glitches that looked like haunted code.
It’s like the game is alive and actively sabotaging me. I love game dev.
THE FIX (SORT OF):
So, how did I fix it? By being a genius. Just kidding, I Googled everything.
The UI issue? Turns out Unity’s Event System was like, “I don’t wanna do my job anymore.” Fixed some event listeners and BOOM, it works again.
The disappearing players? That one was spicy. Turns out I borked my object pooling setup. Fixed it, and guess what? The game runs smoother now. Performance boost for the win! 🎉
BIG DECISIONS (AND REGRETS?):
I’m starting work on a new isometric 3D camera system. Why? Because I hate myself and love pain. Also, it’ll look sick. Probably.
WHAT’S NEXT:
Here’s the plan (if I don’t break everything again):
Refactor buggy scripts. AKA make my code less of a spaghetti mess.
Add error handling. For everything. (Because apparently, players do things I didn’t account for.)
Prototype that new camera system. It’s gonna be wild.
Future stuff:
Adding a basic inventory and skill system because every good game needs loot, right?
Planning a demo build so you guys can roast my game in real-time.
CLIFFHANGER:
Will the game actually stabilize, or will Unity invent new ways to ruin my life? Find out next time!
OUTRO:
That’s it for this week, folks. If you have debugging tips, drop them in the comments! Or just tell me your funniest Unity horror stories—I need a laugh. Like, subscribe, join the Discord, and I’ll see you in the next one. Peace!

DevLog#8 – Refactoring Code and Tackling Overthinking
Introduction:
Hey, game devs! Welcome to DevLog#8. If you’re new here, make sure to like, subscribe, and join our Discord server for exclusive updates and discussions. This week, I dove deep into refactoring messy code while fighting an unexpected adversary: my own overthinking. Let’s unpack the journey!
Rant:
Why is it so easy to fall into analysis paralysis? I spent hours staring at code, debating whether to optimize or start fresh. Refactoring felt like walking on a tightrope—one wrong step, and everything could collapse. Yet, with some persistence, I started to see the bigger picture.
Solution:
I broke down the refactoring process into smaller tasks. Instead of tackling the entire codebase, I focused on one class at a time. Watching a few advanced Unity scripting tutorials also helped me see how to structure my code better.
Cliffhanger:
Will the refactored code improve performance, or will it introduce new issues? You’ll find out in the next update!
To Do (Next Steps):
Continue refactoring remaining classes.
Test the refactored code with different player actions and edge cases.
Research Unity’s Scriptable Objects for better data management.
Will Do (Future Goals):
Create a polished game loop for the first level.
Experiment with procedural generation for level design.
Problem:
Overthinking led to wasted time. The fear of breaking things delayed my progress, but I’m learning to trust the process.
Conclusion:
That’s it for DevLog#8! Refactoring might not be glamorous, but it’s crucial for a scalable game. Have any tips for managing code complexity? Drop them in the comments. Don’t forget to like and subscribe. See you next time!
DevLog#9 – Adding Audio and UI Refinements

Hello, everyone! Welcome to DevLog#9. If you’ve been following the series, you know the drill: like, subscribe, and join our Discord to share your thoughts. This week was all about enhancing player feedback through audio and refining the UI for a smoother experience.
Rant:
You never realize how much of a difference audio makes until you don’t have it. The game felt lifeless without sound effects. Adding them brought new challenges, like balancing volumes and syncing sounds with actions. Who knew UI design and audio implementation could be this tricky?
Solution:
I used Unity’s Audio Mixer to manage sound levels and tested various UI animations to improve responsiveness. Placeholder assets were a lifesaver, giving me a better sense of how things would feel in the final product.
Cliffhanger:
Will the audio integration enhance the gameplay experience, or will it reveal flaws in my design? Stay tuned for the next devlog!
To Do (Next Steps):
Polish audio transitions and add environmental sounds.
Continue refining UI elements, including button animations and feedback.
Research Unity’s Timeline tool for cutscenes or in-game events.
Will Do (Future Goals):
Add sound effects for unique player actions.
Start planning the game’s main menu design.
Problem:
Balancing audio and UI changes while maintaining performance is tricky. Some transitions still feel clunky, but I’m working on it.
Conclusion:
That wraps up DevLog#9! Audio and UI might seem like small details, but they can make or break a game. Got any favorite tools for sound design or UI animation? Let me know in the comments. Like, subscribe, and see you next time!

Rant:
Prototyping is supposed to be messy, right? But sometimes, it feels like I’m stitching together chaos instead of building a system. Debugging one issue only to uncover five more can be exhausting. It’s like whack-a-mole but with code.
Solution:
I adopted a structured debugging approach, testing one mechanic at a time. Keeping a log of changes and observations helped me identify patterns in the errors. Also, big shoutout to Unity’s Debug.Log and Profiler tools—they’re lifesavers.
Cliffhanger:
Will the new mechanics hold up under rigorous testing, or will the bugs stage a comeback? You’ll find out in the next devlog!
To Do (Next Steps):
Test mechanics with different player inputs and edge cases.
Clean up placeholder scripts and prepare for refactoring.
Explore Unity’s Event System for better input handling.
Will Do (Future Goals):
Prototype a basic AI behavior for enemies.
Start designing a tutorial level to teach new players the controls.
Problem:
A persistent bug caused player inputs to misfire during specific sequences. While I’ve mitigated some of it, the root cause is still elusive.
Conclusion:
That’s it for DevLog#10! Prototyping is a wild ride, but it’s rewarding to see ideas take shape. If you’ve got debugging tips or tools, share them in the comments. Like and subscribe, and I’ll catch you in the next one!

Rant:
Have you ever tried to map out a level only to realize halfway through that it doesn’t make sense? That was me for the past few days. Translating ideas from my head into something playable is harder than expected.
Solution:
I started using graph paper and simple tools like Tiled to sketch layouts before building them in Unity. Storyboarding the game flow helped me clarify how each level connects and serves the overall narrative.
Cliffhanger:
Will the new level designs feel intuitive, or will they need a complete overhaul? Stay tuned!
To Do (Next Steps):
Build a playable prototype of the first level.
Refine the storyboards and plan transitions between levels.
Research environmental storytelling techniques.
Will Do (Future Goals):
Create interactive elements like doors, switches, and puzzles.

DevLog#12 – Refining Core Gameplay and Testing Mechanics
Introduction:
Hey, game dev enthusiasts! Welcome to DevLog#12. Before diving in, hit that like button, subscribe, and join our Discord server for exclusive updates and conversations. This week, I focused on refining core gameplay mechanics and started testing them with a small group. Let’s see how that went!
Born into a digital world and known for working, shopping and dating online, Gen Zers spend on average six or more hours on their phomes daily.
Great Lakes freighters typically are able to navigate surface ice in the winter, but occasionally encounter ice that’s too hard or thick to break through, he said.

Geralt and Ciri hunt down the chernobog that escaped from the monolith. Ciri and Roach remain on land as Geralt makes his way through the river. This is when the beast attacks from the sky. It first goes after Geralt before attacking Roach and knocking Ciri to the ground.
Vesemir had admittedly been a fool for ever agreeing to Ciri's deal. Triss admits that she too has been a fool. Whatever's running through Ciri's veins and whatever they made from it is more dangerous than they know. Suddenly, Vesemir is alerted of an unexpected presence. It's Rience, who blocks their attacks, before trapping Triss in a barrier of fire and sending a fireball Vesemir's way before stealing the vial of witcher mutagen and portaling out.
Roach is badly wounded, three long claw slashes going down her lower end, forcing Geralt to put her out of her misery. He and Ciri proceed to stage a trap for the beast that killed Roach. Ciri climbs up on top of a rock to lure the chernobog in. Just when it's nearly within reaching distance of her, Geralt appears and kills the beast, shoving a sharpened stick through its chest.
Fringilla watches as Francesca brings back life to a dead flower in the garden. Her favorite thing to do as a girl was flower picking with her mother. After she died, Francesca kept one to remember her by. One day, it started to wilt, and when she held that flower, she began to feel warm inside and the flower bloomed again. She did that spell over and over for years, until her father caught her and tried to lead the village in a crusade against her, but he failed. Her brother held their father down as she slit his throat. The village then built a statue in her honor. At Aretuza, they were taught the art of politics and persuasion, to trick others into thinking they're in control. Francesca suspects this of Fringilla's relationship with Cahir, as she's different when he's around. Francesca tells Fringilla that it's time for her to put Cahir in his place, as he's no longer in power. Francesca heads back to the castle as Cahir joins them. Cahir understands that Fringilla was forced to make a difficult decision in times of war, but he knows her well enough to understand that she didn't forsake the mission given to them by the White Flame. And now it's time they return to the reason they took Cintra in the first place, which is Ciri, who was last seen in Sodden.
Geralt is proud of Ciri. What she did back there with the beast was courageous. Ciri admits to having that feeling again when the chernobog came at her, but she doesn't think it wanted to hurt her. She blames herself for the monsters coming through the monolith. When the Black Knight caught her, all she could feel was fear, but she also felt anger. And when there were four men from Cintra that found her and planned to take her, she screamed and killed all of them.
Geralt and Ciri arrive at Melitele's Temple. Graduates of the temple school are known to become midwives, historians, healers, and witchers. Vesemir sent Geralt here when he was about Ciri's age. It's where they learn to do signs. They are joined by Nenneke, who embraces them both and takes Ciri to her office, where she announces her plans to guide Ciri in the art of controlling her Chaos. Ciri mentions the Daughter of Chaos, leading Nenneke to question where she heard that term, as the things she's saying require knowledge that have been lost to time, and knowledge like that is usually lost for a reason. Nevertheless, Ciri is ready for the truth, whatever it takes. Nenneke admires her spirit and introduces Ciri to Jarre, one of her best students, to help Ciri.
Now that she's had a chance to speak with her, Nenneke tells Geralt that he's screwed no matter what. Kingdoms will want her for her status. Thousands have been killed in pursuit of her already, not to mention her Elder blood. Geralt has told her about the fact that Ciri has recited Ithlinne's prophecies during one of her episodes. Nenneke believes that she's a Child of Destiny, and that Geralt and Ciri are a part of one another. Geralt must find balance, and then maybe he might stand a chance of helping her.
Filavandrel checks in on Francesca, who hopes that training is going well. Death is a part of life, and perhaps that is the cost of them getting their land back, Francesca concludes. Filavandrel isn't so sure it will still happen given Cahir's return, but Francesca insists that she's taking care of it. Filavandrel didn't come to tell her what to do. He came to ask what she needs of him, as he'll do what whatever she asks. Francesca simply needs him to stay by her and their child's side.
Coen asks Triss about Vesemir, who is stable but shaken. Lambert begins to wonder what a mage needs with a witcher, but Triss insists that he's not one of her kind. Fire magic is off-limits for them. Whoever he is, he isn't working for the Brotherhood. She then comes to the conclusion that he took the vial of witcher mutagen.
Rience reveals to Lydia that he has a vial of Ciri's blood in his possession, but he has no intentions of giving it to her. However, he is willing to give it over in exchange for an opportunity to meet Lydia's employer. She agrees to see what she can do and then tells Rience that he'll need a crew if he intends to get in and out of the temple with Ciri.
Istredd seeks out Ellis Codringher and Fenn for information. Codringher already knows who Istredd is and asks if he's acting on behalf of Stregobor, which Istredd insists that he isn't. He simply wants to know what a witcher, a monolith, and a mysterious girl has to do with Nilfgaard. They inform Istredd that sensitive questions are expensive. Once he pays for their services, Codringher and Fenn reveal that the girl is Cirilla of Cintra
Jarre takes Ciri to the library and gives her the Orbuculum for her studies. He's not necessarily sure what it does, as he's a simple historian in training. Unbeknownst to either of them, Yennefer watches from afar and follows Ciri until losing track of her. She enters a room, where Geralt just so happens to be. They kiss, but are interrupted by Ciri, who Geralt reveals is his Child Surprise.
Hake is thankful that Cahir came back when he did, as he doesn't trust the elves or Fringilla, who isn't acting on behalf of the White Flame, he suspects. Cahir notices Filavandrel coaching Dara and proposes a proper demonstration between him and the untrained elf. Cahir grabs a sword, charging at Dara and knocking him on the ground. Filavandrel holds his blade to Cahir's throat in retaliation but lets him go after getting word from Gage that Francesca has gone into labor.
Ciri and Yennefer become acquainted, with Yennefer telling her about unicorns and how she used to own a stuffed one until it broke. Geralt argues they only approach those who are pure of heart and questions how she got her hands on one, but Ciri questions how she survived Sodden. Yennefer replies that she's one of the lucky ones. Ciri then remarks that Geralt says she's one of the most powerful mages he's ever known. Yennefer claims she's staying at the temple to hide out from the Brotherhood. Ciri recalls dreaming about Yennefer once, before she even knew she existed.
With Fringilla, Filavandrel, and a midwife at her side coaching her through, Francesca gives birth to her baby girl, though quiet for a moment, with some provided warmth from Fringilla, the baby is alive and well. Fringilla exits the room and informs Gage, Dara, and the others waiting in the hallway that a new elf has been born.
While roaming the halls during the late hours, Ciri stumbles upon Nenneke lighting dozens of candles to welcome late stragglers seeking refuge. Ciri asks to help and lights a candle in Mousesack's honor. She just wishes he would've told her what she is. No one did until she met Geralt. Her grandmother was brave and never hid from anything but hated elves despite Ciri's Elder blood. Nenneke replies that hatred is a circle of fear and desperation. Perhaps her grandmother's hypocrisy is rooted in a desire to protect her. Ciri's true power resides in more than her blood. With proper guidance, she may have the ability to break the cycle of hatred once and for all. Ciri then asks what she's supposed to do with the Orbuculum, but that's for her to figure out on her own.
Fringilla and Cahir watch as the elves celebrate the birth of a pure blood. Cahir can only remember one other time of such celebration: after the Usurper was overthrown and the people rose up. It took Fringilla a while to feel free, and now it's her who gave the elves hope. Cahir wonders what this will do to their alliance. What happens when the elves decide they can repopulate on their own, without Nilfgaard's help, he wonders. He then reveals that the White Flame wrote him and will be in Cintra any day now.
Geralt and Yennefer catch up over lost time. Admittedly, the last time they saw each other was a bit tumultuous. Yennefer questions what changed his mind about claiming Ciri. Many things changed his mind, and Yennefer was among them, he admits. Yennefer reveals that she ran into Jaskier in Oxenfurt. He was in some kind of trouble with a mage using fire magic who was looking for Geralt and Ciri. Yennefer's heart has been beating fast the entire time. She's nervous, and Geralt questions why. She reveals that she has some wounds that refuse to heal.
Istredd reveals to Codringher and Fenn that there's a gene that keeps showing up in Cintran genealogy records, but he's never heard of it, Leishardrathardlara. It looks like mostly women have it. Codringher grabs a scroll and Fenn reads "And when the humans proved hostile, bringing death and destruction, multiplying and infesting their lands, the elves built a warrior to destroy them."
Dara reveals to Dijkstra's owl that Nilfgaard's mission is to find Ciri. He recalls helping her escape only to lose her.
Ciri finds a history book lying on the floor with blood soaked on the cover. She follows the blood trail to Jarre, who lies unconscious on the floor. Accompanied by the Michelet brothers, Rience goes after Ciri, trapping her in a fire barrier until Geralt and Yennefer intervene. Geralt holds off their attackers while Ciri and Yennefer lock themselves in a room. With Rience on the other side of the door trying to melt it open, Geralt kills the Michelet brothers. The Orbuculum senses Ciri's magic and begins to glow. Yennefer teaches Ciri how to create a portal, which they escape through. Geralt calls out to Yennefer and tells her to stop, but she tells him she can't.
Before leaving, Triss reveals to Vesemir that the vial of witcher mutagen was taken by the fire mage.
Fenn reads the following from a scroll: "And when the babe was born, a field of feainnewedd sprung up. And Lara Dorren drew her last breath, crying, 'Know this. My curse will hound your descendants unto the tenth generation. Until the columns of time and space tremble and open for my people. Then my vengeance will be born again." Codringher deduces that Calanthe hid her elven bloodline because she knew what lurked in it. A generational weapon, Istredd remarks.
Triss is loyal to Tissaia above all else and reveals that a drop of Ciri's blood can change the world. And in the wrong hands, she will destroy it.

Everyone needs food to live. It gives you energy to work and play. It also gives you nutrients to grow well and stay healthy. Do you eat a balanced diet with lots of different nutrients?
Your body needs proteins to build muscles. Proteins are also important for healthy hair and fingernails. You can get lots of proteins from meat, fish, and eggs. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt also contain proteins.
Many people don't eat animal products, but they can get proteins from plant products. Pulses like beans and lentils are rich in proteins. Many grains, nuts, and seeds have proteins too.
Which of these foods do you eat?

DNA is made up of nucleotides, comprising of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate and a base.
The deoxyribose sugar and phosphate form the sugar-phosphate backbone. The two strands are connected by base pairs (A-T and C-G), joined by hydrogen bonds.
The double stranded molecule has an antiparallel structure, with deoxyribose and phosphate at 3’ and 5’ ends of each strand respectively, which twists forming a double helix.
The base sequence of DNA forms the genetic code.
Organisation of DNA. Prokaryotes have a single, circular chromosome and smaller circular plasmids.
Eukaryotes all have linear chromosomes, in the nucleus, which are tightly coiled and packaged with associated proteins. The associated proteins are called histones. They also contain circular chromosomes in their mitochondria and chloroplasts. Yeast is a special example of a eukaryote as it also has plasmids.
Prior to cell division, DNA is replicated by a DNA polymerase. DNA polymerase needs primers to start replication. A primer is a short strand of nucleotides which binds to the 3’ end of the template DNA strand allowing polymerase to add DNA nucleotides.
DNA polymerase adds DNA nucleotides, using complementary base pairing, to the deoxyribose (3’) end of the new DNA strand which is forming.
DNA is unwound and hydrogen bonds between bases are broken to form two template strands. DNA polymerase can only add DNA nucleotides in one direction resulting in the leading strand being replicated continuously and the lagging strand replicated in fragments.
Fragments of DNA are joined together by ligase.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifies DNA using complementary primers for specific target sequences. This can be used to help solve crimes, settle paternity suits and diagnose genetic disorders.
In PCR, primers are short strands of nucleotides which are complementary to specific target sequences at the two ends of the region of DNA to be amplified.
Repeated cycles of heating and cooling amplify the target region of DNA.
DNA is heated to between 92 and 98 to separate the strands. It is then cooled to between 50 and 65 to allow primers to bind to target sequences. It is then heated to between 70 and 80 for heat-tolerant DNA polymerase to replicate the region of DNA.
Gene expression involves the transcription and translation of DNA sequences. Only a fraction of the genes in a cell are expressed.
Transcription and translation involve three types of RNA (mRNA, tRNA and rRNA).
RNA is single stranded and is composed of nucleotides containing ribose sugar, phosphate and one of four bases: cytosine, guanine, adenine and uracil. Uracil in RNA is complementary to adenine.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries a copy of the DNA code from the nucleus to the ribosome. mRNA is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus and translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Each triplet of bases on the mRNA molecule is called a codon and codes for a specific amino acid.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) folds due to complementary base pairing. Each tRNA molecule carries its specific amino acid to the ribosome.
A tRNA molecule has an anticodon (an exposed triplet of bases) at one end and an attachment site for a specific amino acid at the other end.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins form the ribosome.
Transcription RNA polymerase moves along DNA unwinding the double helix and breaking the hydrogen bonds between the bases. RNA polymerase synthesises a primary transcript of mRNA from RNA nucleotides by complementary base pairing. RNA splicing forms a mature mRNA transcript.
The introns of the primary transcript are noncoding regions and are removed. The exons are coding regions and are joined together to form the mature transcript. The order of the exons is unchanged during splicing.
Translation tRNA is involved in the translation of mRNA into a polypeptide at a ribosome. Translation begins at a start codon and ends at a stop codon.
Anticodons bond to codons by complementary base pairing, translating the genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. Peptide bonds join the amino acids together. Each tRNA then leaves the ribosome as the polypeptide is formed.
Protein expression Different proteins can be expressed from one gene, as a result of alternative RNA splicing. Different mature mRNA transcripts are produced from the same primary transcript depending on which exons are retained.
Protein structure Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds to form polypeptides. Polypeptide chains fold to form the three-dimensional shape of a protein, held together by hydrogen bonds and other interactions between individual amino acids.
Proteins have a large variety of shapes which determines their functions.
Phenotype is determined by proteins produced as the result of gene expression. Environmental factors also influence phenotype.
Cellular differentiation is the process by which a cell expresses certain genes to produce proteins characteristic for that type of cell. This allows a cell to carry out specialised functions.
Differentiation into specialised cells from meristems in plants; embryonic and tissue (adult) stem cells in animals.
Meristems are regions of unspecialised cells in plants that can divide (self-renew) and/or differentiate. Stem cells are unspecialised cells in animals that can divide (self-renew) and/or differentiate.
Embryonic and tissue stem cells- Cells in the very early embryo can differentiate into all the cell types that make up the organism and so are pluripotent.
All the genes in embryonic stem cells can be switched on so these cells can differentiate into any type of cell.
Tissue stem cells are multipotent as they can differentiate into all of the types of cell found in a particular tissue type. For example, blood stem cells located in bone marrow can give rise to all types of blood cell. Tissue stem cells are involved in the growth, repair and renewal of the cells found in that tissue.
Therapeutic and research uses of stem cells
Therapeutic uses involve the repair of damaged or diseased organs or tissues, e.g. corneal repair and the regeneration of damaged skin for skin grafts.
Stem cells from the embryo can self-renew, under the right conditions, in the lab. Stem cell research provides information on how cell processes such as cell growth, differentiation and gene regulation work.
Research uses involve stem cells being used as model cells to study how diseases develop or being used for drug testing.
Ethical issues of using embryonic stem cells - use of embryonic stem cells can offer effective treatments for disease and injury; however, it involves destruction of embryos.
The genome of an organism is its entire hereditary information encoded in DNA. A genome is made up of genes and other DNA sequences that do not code for proteins. Most of the eukaryotic genome consists of non-coding sequences.
DNA sequences that code for protein are defined as genes. Other sequences regulate transcription and others are transcribed but never translated. tRNA and rRNA are non-translated forms of RNA.
Mutations are changes in the DNA that can result in no protein or an altered protein being synthesised.
Single gene mutations involve the alteration of a DNA nucleotide sequence as a result of the substitution, insertion or deletion of nucleotides.
Missense mutations result in one amino acid being changed for another. This may result in a non-functional protein or have little effect on the protein.
Nonsense mutations result in a premature stop codon being produced which results in a shorter protein.
Splice-site mutations result in some introns being retained and/or some exons not being included in the mature transcript.
Nucleotide insertions or deletions result in frame-shift mutations. Frame-shift mutations cause all of the codons and all of the amino acids after the mutation to be changed. This has a major effect on the structure of the protein produced.
Chromosome structure mutations include duplication, deletion, inversion and translocation.
Duplication is where a section of a chromosome is added from its homologous partner.
Deletion is where a section of a chromosome is removed.
Inversion is where a section of chromosome is reversed.
Translocation is where a section of a chromosome is added to a
chromosome, not its homologous partner.
The substantial changes in chromosome mutations often make them lethal.
Mutations and gene duplication in evolution have importance. Duplication allows potential beneficial mutations to occur in a duplicated gene whilst the original gene can still be expressed to produce its protein.
Evolution — the changes in organisms over generations as a result of genomic variations.
Natural selection is the non-random increase in frequency of DNA sequences that increase survival and the non-random reduction in the frequency of deleterious sequences. The changes in phenotype frequency as a result of stabilising, directional and disruptive selection.
In stabilising selection, an average phenotype is selected for and extremes of the phenotype range are selected against. In directional selection, one extreme of the phenotype range is selected for. In disruptive selection, two or more phenotypes are selected for.
Natural selection is more rapid in prokaryotes. Prokaryotes can exchange genetic material horizontally, resulting in faster evolutionary change than in organisms that only use vertical transfer.
Horizontal gene transfer is where genes are transferred between individuals in the same generation. Vertical gene transfer is where genes are transferred from parent to offspring as a result of sexual or asexual reproduction.
A species is a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, and which does not normally breed with other groups.
Speciation is the generation of new biological species by evolution as a result of:Isolation, Mutation and Selection
Isolation barriers prevent gene flow between subpopulations during speciation.
Geographical barriers lead to allopatric speciation and behavioural or ecological barriers lead to sympatric speciation.
The genome of an organism is its entire hereditary information encoded in DNA. A genome is made up of genes and other DNA sequences that do not code for proteins. In genomic sequencing the sequence of nucleotide bases can be determined for individual genes and entire genomes.
Computer programs can be used to identify base sequences by looking for sequences similar to known genes. To compare sequence data, computer and statistical analyses (bioinformatics) are required.
Comparison of genomes reveals that many genes are highly conserved across different organisms. Many genomes have been sequenced, particularly of disease-causing organisms, pest species and species that are important model organisms for research.
Phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary history and relationships.
Use of sequence data to study the evolutionary relatedness among groups of organisms can be determined using: Sequence data or Fossil evidence. Sequence divergence is used to estimate time since lineages diverged.
Evidence from phylogenetics and molecular clocks to determine the main sequence of events in evolution.
DNA sequences can be used as molecular clocks to show when species diverged during evolution. DNA sequences are compared between species. The more similar the sequences, the more closely related the species are and the more recently they shared a common ancestor. Use of DNA sequences in this way assumes mutation rate remains constant and show differences in DNA sequences or amino acid sequences.
Therefore, differences in sequence data between species indicate the time of divergence from a common ancestor.
The main sequence of events in EVOLUTION OF LIFE has also been determined using: Sequence data and Fossil evidence
This has helped to map out the order in the evolution of life as follows: Cell, Last Universal Ancestor, Prokaryotes, Photosynthetic organisms, Eukaryotes, Multicellular organisms, Animals, Vertebrates, Land Plants
Pharmacogenetics and Personalised Medicine
An individual’s genome can be analysed to predict the likelihood of developing certain diseases.
Pharmacogenetics is the use of genome information in the choice of drugs. An individual’s personal genome sequence can be used to select the most effective drugs and dosage to treat their disease (personalised medicine).

Weathering
Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into smaller pieces over time. It can happen in different ways. For example, wind and water can wear away rocks, or ice can crack them by freezing and expanding. Even plants can cause weathering when their roots grow into tiny cracks in rocks and break them apart. This process happens very slowly, but over many years, it can change the shape of mountains, cliffs, and even sidewalks!
Erosion
Erosion happens when weathered rock and soil are moved from one place to another. Wind, water, and ice are powerful forces that carry away tiny pieces of rock. For example, rivers can wash away soil, and ocean waves can wear down cliffs. Wind can even carry sand across deserts! Over time, erosion can change the land, creating valleys, canyons, and sand dunes.
Deposition
Deposition is when the pieces of rock and soil carried by erosion settle in a new place. After a river carries dirt and sand downstream, it drops them along the riverbanks or at the mouth of the river, forming a delta. Wind can also drop sand to create dunes, and glaciers can leave behind piles of rock called moraines. Deposition helps create new landforms and changes the way Earth looks over time.
