Hello, HALE fans!
I’m so excited to share a new chapter of our journey together. In my latest video, we dive deep into the world of HALE and explore some of the most complex and intriguing aspects of the series, with a focus on one of the most compelling characters—Bayo, the King of the Griffins.
Part 1: A Raw Moment of Grief (0:00) In the opening segment, we witness Bayo’s grief in Chapter 1 of HALE: The Prophet’s Journal (Book 2). After losing his brother Hale, we see Bayo like never before—vulnerable, emotional, and struggling with loss. It’s a powerful scene that adds layers to his character, showing a side of Bayo that isn’t easily seen in Book 1. If you’ve ever wondered what drives Bayo, this moment will shed new light on the complexity of his journey.
Part 2: The Villain with a Heart (4:50) Next, we dive into Bayo’s multifaceted nature. He’s a villain, yes, but a villain with depth. There’s much more to him than meets the eye, and in this segment, we explore the complexities that make him so fascinating. His actions, motivations, and internal struggle show that he’s not just a simple "bad guy"—he’s a man torn between his duty and his emotions. What makes Bayo impossible to hate? Tune in to find out how his backstory, choices, and grief shape him into a "baddie" you can’t help but love.
Part 3: Heroes vs. Villains (7:50) What truly separates heroes from villains? In this segment, we explore the gray area between these two archetypes. Is Bayo really the villain, or is he just walking a different path from the heroes? We’ll dive into how life experiences shape our choices and how, in the end, everyone—hero or villain—must choose where they stand. The line between the two isn’t as clear-cut as we might think, and the ultimate choice is one each character must make for themselves.
Part 4: Goodreads Review & Giveaway (12:08) We’re taking a look at a review from HALE: The Rise of the Griffins on Goodreads! Does the reviewer agree with your thoughts on the book? I’d love to hear your take as we explore what readers are saying. And don’t miss the special giveaway—one lucky reviewer will receive a free HALE t-shirt (designed by me)! Made of 95% cotton, this comfortable shirt is a great way to show off your love for HALE. Be sure to check out the link for all our merch!
Part 5: Bringing Bayo to Life (13:37)In the final segment, watch me bring Bayo to life in a fun, cartoony style for the upcoming HALE graphic novel. I’ll take you behind the scenes as I sketch, ink, and color this iconic character, and share some of Bayo’s development throughout the years. From his marriage to Rioma, the Elder of Ardor, to the evolution of his appearance and personality, this behind-the-scenes peek is a must-watch for any fan of HALE.
