NEW

Besides rearranging my prologue I have written a stunning opening scene to the book. Consequently it is a battle scene which I a quite proud of and I am sure will be thrown out in a couple of months when I restart the book yet again. But I think I will stick with my titles no matter how many times I scratch a rewrite. I can not begin to to tell you how many times characters actions have changed, or their names have changed, or their lineages have changed. I am done with change. Well heres the battle.



The wind that blew around Fyrie was cold, like the air of a frozen mountain. The cold was unusual in the forests near Savgly, yet it felt strangely familiar to all those who hid in the forest. The tree which Fyrie crouched in had ice frozen to its leaves. Though it was almost summer the cold still stung in the evenings.
Fyrie pulled an arrow from her quiver, for it wouldn’t be long now. She head the horses hoofs against the rocky ground and still she stayed steady; waiting patiently to strike. Fifty Sarths filled the trees waiting for her first move, she knew all rested on her timing yet she did not fear. Steady was the blowing of the wind as loose locks of her hair blew in her face. Closer was the sound, the striking, the beat of the hoofs. It would not be long, they would be in sight. She knew they would not fail.
Suddenly she realized it was time she lifted her bow and shot. As she did the arrow lit with fire from inside her and it hit its target. The first officer was down. After that many more arrows flew, fire less and disguised in the night. They all hit their targets, human officers and goblins fell to the ground. Then the battle broke, birds streamed for the trees and took War-Yie form; shooting arrows, throwing spears, and dropping rocks.


-Quick note before I say goodbye; War-Yies are creatures which can take two forms, the first form is that of a bird and the second is a human-like creature with wings. They have keen hearing and amazing strength, plus their ability to turn into birds makes them very camouflaged. Sarths on the other hand are humanish creatures with blue skin, nature like clothes, and grass-like hair.


Well thats the battle, or the beginning of it anyway. I must continue to write it and next time I have something of value to share I will not hesitate in doing so.

One Year

I can not believe its already been a year since I first wrote, I forgot about writing again! Not that anyone was reading it. I have continues writing my book its official title is now called: The Unaware. Its a fantasy story, of course, that has a lot of me as a person put into it. Though progress on it is slow I believe that maybe its something kinda special:

19 years after the fall of the monarchy of Kantra, two young men called Gavalen and Navern seek to restore the true rules of Kantra. These heirs are sought out by the new ruler King Hastherth who desires to destroy them and any other family members. In a race against time Gavalen and Navern find themselves winded up in an older legacy deeper than just the heirs. The two soon have to enlist them help of blacksmiths daughter Adrinera and a mysterious girl name Fyrie (who holds a secret past of her own). Together the four must fight armies, and search in the deep past for the key to save Kantra.

basically theres War, Romance, Tragedy... get it! Probably now sounding to familiar, but Have you heard of Sarths and War-Yies... No. Those are just two of the new humanoid creatures introduced her. So far my first draft is very choppy and bad, I just need to find a way to smooth it out. The second two books will be called: The Unwilling and The Undeserving. The titles tell something about which character they follow, which I didn't realize till after I named them.
I have also written a score to accompany the books, so far its made up of tragic love themes and trouble things.

So thats it for now, write soon
