Ellis
“It means we watch for storms.” Ellis turned to face Moth’s inquisitive eyes. “And other things.” He began to walk slowly again towards the path to the gymnasium. The vague, sarcastic answer didn’t last long. “Some in my family have the ability to see the future. It was a gift from the fae over a hundred years ago and we have…[Read more]

The more I look at it the more I like this layout.

@whalekeeper

That looks great! The archery range might need more space, but then that would only be for like, way more intense archery than the school probably wants to teach, so it makes sense. The stables and paddocks could even be to one side of the gymnasium OR the main stables could be farther out and there’s only a small stable and paddock…[Read more]

The stables would need room for paddocks and training yards, so it would be a pretty good size in and of itself. We could say the gymnasium is behind the school, and then the stables are behind that, and there are gardens on both sides of the main school complex? Idk.

@whalekeeper

Hmm. Maybe a separate building? Like maybe they originally had a big hall inside the school, but quickly realized it was way too small for all their needs, so that hall is now a music/orchestra/choir room? They are teaching future monarchs and nobles that will need to lead armies, fight duels, and who knows what else each country…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

a map would be great

Giving this kid the break he needs

@whalekeeper Moth still following? 

Ellis 

Ellis let his feet lead as his mind wandered. He soon found himself on a gravel path outside meandering down a hill towards the gardens. It was much quieter out here. Two yellow butterflies flitted into view, dancing around each other, and he paused a moment to w…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That is a great idea. I’d much appreciate a visual, even if it’s just a basic “there’s stuff here, and here, and here” type thingy

So I imagined the gymnasium itself as a huge, high ceilinged building with skylights, all sorts of equipment (mats, bars, climbing wall, a court for various ball games or tennis, a wrestling square, and a few fencing strips), and a door to an enclosed indoor archery range (as that would likely be safer than an outdoor range where there’s more…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon That sounds good. I appreciate the detail :]

@elishavet-pidyon so is it an outdoor gymnasium?

Wolfgang 

He pranced along behind Wilhelm. “What should we do first? Swords or wrestling? Or I could race you!”

@whalekeeper

Whoops.

LeQoi

The child fell with unceremonious speed. LeQoi looked down at the crumpled figure on the floor and sighed patiently. It wasn’t everyday someone swooned at his feet, especially not as a natural response.

Perhaps the child could stay around.

“Let me know when he awakes.” He waved a long boned hand to the wide eyed…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I am so unoriginal. I didn’t even notice until now

haha!

@elishavet-pidyon

and now I will eat. I just had to finish a chapter.

@elishavet-pidyon

who controls prof? isn’t it @whalekeeper ?

@ellette-giselle

(also, that was mean to talk about food. Now I’m hungry) XD

Good! Maybe go eat something? XP

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh my word!

I think I stopped dreaming when I really started seriously writing. I used to have a lot of vivid ones, and then they went away when I started writing my stories and books down.

@whalekeeper

Just so you know, if LeQoi approaches this boy suddenly without warning, he might faint

Hmm, noted. =|

LeQoi

Serving maids dipped in and out of the hall entry, pitchers and teapots in hand. No black haired child darted among them.

LeQoi stepped smoothly around stovetops and scurrying chefs. Dishes piled high on counters waiting,…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

He reached across the table and grabbed two more scones, pushing them into his pocket for later, then followed Wilhelm. “Biting is still cowardly,” he muttered.
