(I wasn’t sure if your characters ended up following or not, so I just avoided mentioning it either way.)

Rina —— Elderstrand

“Where…are we going?” Rina panted as the group ran on.

“The city is being locked down,” Fleet responded. “We won’t be able to get through any of the gates. So, we’re heading for the river. We…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin @hybridlore

Ellis —— Elderstrand (w/ Marcel, Felicity, Sara)

Ellis nodded. “Let’s go. Quick!”

The group slipped into the alley and waited in silence as the soldiers neared the street.

“Spread out!” someone shouted. “They must be here somewhere.”

Ellis gripped his sword tight, prepared to silence the first person who…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Look, if anyone picks up the series at book two, they deserve to be confused. *shrug*

I have a friend with the same mindset. Alcatraz Smeadry will probably approve heartily!

WHAT? That doesn’t even fit with the period!!!

Like I said, my mind was in a weird place. Specifically in the place of a reader snacking on some y…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

That works! Just swap wife and son for parents.

@stephie

The one thing I’m going to criticize is what Charles says when his son is saved: 

Okay, I will see what I can do about that. Though I may put this one off for a bit. Thank you for pointing this out. I’m not the most emotional person, so sometimes I struggle with writing em…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Lol, I was wondering when you would start wanting the backstory.

This is a good opportunity to see how someone who has not read Book I can understand this book. Like it or not, some people will start to read your series with Book II, III, or IV. Remember to provide the context for these readers so that they will be able to…[Read more]

Rosemary and Jirah (Elderstand w/Rina)

“We are not following those strangers!” Jirah yelled to Rina. But she was already too far down to listen, or care. “Why not?” Rosemary asked in a mocking voice. “We only just met them, besides…” She turned in the direction of Rina, “Rina simply most know everything, so we should follow with out…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’m fine with it, but Baron is gonna lose his mind if you do that. lol

Oh you have no idea. Not only is it storming which increases his power, he’s also gonna have to go into fight mode.

@jonas

I’m good with it

and @grcr, oops!

@whalekeeper @loopylin @hybridlore

Ellis —— Elderstrand (w/ Marcel, Felicity, and Sara)

“I don’t like this place,” Ellis muttered. “Where do we go now?”

Just then, there was a sound of shouting. Ellis turned and saw soldiers scurrying along the wall above. They were trapped.

There was the sound of a patrol coming down a street to the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin @hybridlore

Ellis ——— Elderstrand (outside)

As Marcel spoke, there was a crashbof thunder, and water came pouring down.

”I don’t,” said Ellis. “But I think we’ll be better off inside anyway.”

@whalekeeper

Sure thing. Gimme a minute.

@the_lost-journal

Rina ——— Elderstrand (w/ Jirah and Rosemary)

”Call me Fleet,” said the leader of the group. “There’s no time to expkain everything, but we are here to help you. If you stay, they will kill you. We need to leave. Now.”

Fleet turned and started down the alley, beckoning them on. The others followed. Rina glanced at Jirah and Ro…[Read more]

It should start storming, too. So not only will our characters be confused, afraid, and fighting for their lives, they’ll be soaked! Doesn’t that sound delightful?

Yes.

@beth-torres @highscribeofaetherium

Ilahna

Ilahna hesitated, her instincts were telling her to run, but where would they go? Fighting might be their best option.

Mustering her strength of will, she selected one of the warriors, and slammed her Strings into its mind with all her might. A beam of colors flowed from her mouth to its…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @rae @raxforge @grcr

So, your characters are inside the city? Within the wall? Well, I’m thinking of having the city go on lockdown, which may provide some lovely drama. That would also be a good opportunity to send in the NPCs if you’re ready.

@grcr

I’m glad you’re safe!

@raxforge @ellette-giselle @grcr

I’m gonna write a really short rp this time.

Baron (Brutus)—with Ben Gunn, Flare, Marcellus, Leon, and Julian, Everstrand edge

Baron gently replaced his scarf, careful to make sure it covered the scar, before turning away so that his face was cast in shadow.

@raxforge @grcr @ellette-giselle

Baron (Brutus)—with Ben Gunn, Flare, Marcellus, Leon, and Julian, Everstrand edge

Brutus suddenly sighed, looking tired. He pulled up his scarf again, having stopped attempting to arouse the guards. “Sadly, if I am not careful, I…” Brutus shook his head, turning to face Ben, before removing his scarf. Down…[Read more]

@jonas

Rosemary and Jirah (Elderstand w/Rina)

Jirah and Rosemary were already on the roof, they heard the many Iron walkers fall. “What happened?!” Jirah Yelled towards Rina. “Perhaps she fell victim to those beasts… I wouldn’t mind too much, She is a bit of a show off.” Rosemary shared her unneeded thoughts. Jirah stared at her with some…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium @beth-torres

Ilahna —— Elderstrand (w/ Klethen and Everett)

Ilahna’s heart raced, and she didn’t drop her defenses. Suddenly, she could sense more than two minds around her. There was another group, moving closer. Four of them.

Finally, she dropped one of her Strings, allowing her to speak.

“We’re not alone.”

She…[Read more]
