@writerlexi1216 Aww, poor thing!! *snatches away Pirion and wraps him in a blanket* You can have him back when you decide to be nice. 😛 But yeah, brainwashing isn’t exactly ideal.
Gosh, I love your characters so muchHeh, looks like you posted right before I did! I think you might like this excerpt–it’s from dear Arvi’s POV (though he’s considerably less snarky than he usually is, for rather obvious reasons)
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
*frowns* Hmm… *scratches head, contemplating* Well, I suppose I could treat him nicely for a little while. But only for a little while. Until I think of another way to destroy his character even further. Yup, definitely not ideal. Awww, thank you!!! I often get worried my characters aren’t likable, so that means so much to hear you say:)
Ha, it seems so! And that’s all right, I’m sure I’ll see plenty of Arvi’s snarkiness (Google is refusing to recognize ‘snarkiness’ as a word, but I don’t care) when I read the full novel! 😉 And *gasps* OH MY GOODNESS, that was positively fantastic!! I mean, yes, I adore reading anything about dear Arvi, but your descriptions were so smooth and lovely!!:D Also *shudders* I’m sensing some backstory between Arvi and Jamanuk… *shudders yet again*
@writerlexi1216 Your characters are so likeable!!! Seriously, Lexi, I really and truly love every single one I’ve met, and have no doubt that I’ll love all the ones I haven’t too:D And nO BE NICE TO PIRION STOP THAT
*grins* Why thank you! Reading your response really made me smile:) I’m glad you liked it!!! And hehe, you could say that Arvi and Jamanuk have some backstory…you could say that indeed. *wicked cackle* >:D
Also, I thought I’d post another snippet to give a look into the snarkiness (which is henceforth totally a word):
Horace didn’t answer me, again. I kept trying to make conversation, mostly in the form of making sarcastic observations about the weather, but he stayed silent for the better part of half an hour. You’d think the man would appreciate a vassal who cared to talk to him. But no, Horace evidently preferred the sound of rain falling to my voice. Typical.
We kept going, Horace pausing every so often to do his kneel-y looking-for-Rand magic. Every time he did it, I sighed as loudly as possible. It rankled me, mainly because it almost felt like he was showing off. Sure, I might be a pretty decent water mage, but I didn’t have any clue how to use something like finding magic. You could only learn that stuff at a [magic college], and only people as disgustingly rich as Rand’s dad could afford to send someone there. Lucky for Horace, apparently his dad wanted him to be just as much of a magic snob as the rest of his kids.
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”

If hours don't turn into days@gracie-j
OH MY GOODNESS, girl, this is INCREDIBLE!!! I LOOOVED how you compared love and all that to sea and land, since the girl’s a pirate. It just gave it that much more depth. And that ending. *clutches heart* it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Wow, that was just AMAZING!!!! I was like leaning on the edge of my seat, wondering what was wrong and what was going to happen. Like just INCREDIBLE!!!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! EEEKKK!! That was AMAZING!!!! I was just soaking up every word and was seriously hooked from the moment you said “magic”. And then I LOOVED the part where the character was like “I’m not afraid of you” and then that dude’s response. *contented sigh* The very definition of AWESOMENESS right there!!!

Thank you all so much!! 😀 😀 😀
@nova21 AWW thank youu!! Well, basically, Alice is the villain and the Queen of Hearts is the protagonist/MC. The Mad Hatter and her go on a quest to stop Alice before she reaches Wonderland from the rabbit hole. If she makes it very far into Wonderland, everything will be destroyed. I self-published it on Amazon if you want to read it! I have to warn you though, I haven’t uploaded the edited version yet haha.

Awwww, THANK YOU so very much!!:) I very much appreciate your saying that, it means the absolute world to me (and my characters, of course:)!! And ditto, too–I’ve just adored reading snippets of The Drakesbanes and can’t wait to read the full shebang once it’s published!!:D And *sighs* fine, if you insist. I guess I could have a little mercy for a while… Oooh, mysterious!! *twiddles fingers* <:D And *gasps* YES, MY BOY ARVI, AND THEN MY OTHER BOY HORACE. Eeeek, these two are the best:D And I loved that excerpt! I envisioned this perfectly in my head and Arvi is an entire mood. Favorite part? I sighed as loudly as possible. 😛 Dangit now I wanna find more to share… *hmm*…
@writerlexi1216 Ooh I love your excerpt! And thank you so much!
@daisy-torres I love the way your excerpt creates such a suspenseful mood.
