UPDATE: jan 10, 2012

Balete will be undergoing a massive overhaul! I redid the story and chapter 1 is almost done. The 1st chapter will be posted once the tones are finished. ThNks for following this brief story and i hope you'll like the new pages!

Set in one of the thousand islands in pre-colonial Philippines, Balete tells the tale of a young man who deceives a *Diwata in his desire for power.

In the 13th century, Lakan decides to return to the tribe where he was born. During a hunt with the tribesmen, he meets an enchantress who gives him a robe with the power to see spirits, or the *Anitos. Remembering a tale in his childhood where these spirits could give great fortune and blessing, he steals the robe of a spirit, only to fall in love with her later.
