I enjoyed that way too much. I mean really, why do I enjoy reading about character deaths? I despise tragic endings, and a book that makes me cry is probably not going to be high on my list of I just want tos.

But that…that was beautiful.

And now I plead for more!!!

@freedomwriter76

Yeah, that’s really the only reason I’m still going through with it.

And the way it all works out is just so beautiful to this author.

@freedomwriter76

That is a really weird sentence, but totally accurate. XD and obvious. It’s beautiful, even in it’s nastiness.

Alwin also knows he’s gonna die, and literally his only prayer is that 1, his work will continue and that those they’ve reached will not be destroyed, and 2, that if his wife and daughter survive, they will continue…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Good idea!

Now is it why I’m killing him, or why the other characters kill him?

Why I’m killing him is that, well, it’s a little complicated.

When I first had the inspiration for him, it was as a serf that was killed for treason. This I always planned to kill him. However, after the story changed a bit and he became an MC, I…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

And this is why you can’t let that happen!!!!!!

@freedomwriter76

You said that so much better than me. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Good idea. *Sigh*

Well, the why Oswald dies is…um…to move along the plot by making Mikkel try to commit suicide.

That sounds awful.

And this is why I feel so cold hearted.

There are other reasons…although most of them are about as bad.

@koshka

Should I?

I need to work on it a little, but talking about it might help.

@elishavet-pidyon

I already know, so if you want to… 😉

@godlyfantasy12

Awwwwwwwwww.

That’s so sweet, but not in a sugary way, if you know what I mean.

And I love that there’s hope in it. Like I’ve said before, a hopeless death is worse than tragic.

@freedomwriter76 @godlyfantasy12 @elishavet-pidyon

Y’all are making me feel so cold hearted. XD

Does anyone want to know how Alwin does?

Heh, heh.

I’m not sure why I’m asking, except that like everything else in those books, his death is based off of a real testimony. (Several different missionaries, actually.)

And I love it!

Even though I HATE it.

@godlyfantasy12

Oh. No.

That’s…heartbreaking.

And so sweet!!!!

Why would you do that to Grim? Just why?

But no, that is a good character death.

@freedomwriter76

Yeah, I’m probably suffering from some trauma because now I’m numb to Leon’s death. 😉

I don’t know, it just struck me as really good, fitting. To be completely honest and transparent, I’ve been to waayy more funerals in my life than births or weddings. Maybe the way he dies just strikes me as somewhat peaceful. There’s joy in…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Aww…

Confession: I’ve only ever cried over one of my characters and that was because someone else started first.

@freedomwriter76

*Deep shaky breath*

I was pretty sure this was going to happen.

*Sniff*

It’s okay.

I’ve been considering killing Wilkins, but y’all didn’t hear that so…

Hehe…

@freedomwriter76

Who do you think it is? 🙂

And yes, @koshka you nearly made me cry. Which is funny since I’ve known about Oswald for a while, but still… *Sniffle*

@godlyfantasy12

I can be completely fair and tell you who does, but…

Anyway, FreedomWriter may know who it is. Sooo.

Yes, one of them is Alwin.

BUT IT’S NOT TILL THE FOURTH BOOK!!

@godlyfantasy12

*Stares for a moment in stunned silence*

WHAT!?! Nooooooooo……..

What about Nyx?!? What is HE going to do?

Wwwhhyyyyy!!??!

Actually, now I’m curious. Why?

@godlyfantasy12

WHAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…..

What happens to Nyx?

@godlyfantasy12

See how I feel?! XD

But no, I haven’t exactly introduced them yet. Or not with a character sketch/excerpt or anything like that. Viktor should live. 😉

Honestly, I would tell, but since I haven’t REALLY introduced them, you might try that coping mechanism where you don’t get close to the character you know will die, and I want…[Read more]
