So I haven’t been on SE in a while. . . but I found this, and I thought it was interesting, so I hope I can say my part.
I don’t really know how to categorize my current fantasy story. It’s rather timeless and somewhat typical in style, based on a blend of dragon and human worlds.
The dragons are the most powerful beings on the world, though to varying degrees of power among themselves. The entire world is based off of what the dragons can do, specifically, their ability to influence nature and Bond with humans, allowing humans to do the same.
There are also rare, powerful dragons called the Origin Dragons. They influence the emotions and mindset of the people, and they have never Bonded in order to maintain balance among humans and dragons and avoid the abuse of their power.
Most people are able to Bond with dragons, during which the two form a connection and the dragon reveals their name and abilities. Their powers are likewise influenced by all people, if they are losing hope, the Origin Dragon referred to as “Hope” (since they can’t reveal their true names without Bonding) will be weakened.
The current plot (it seems to change ever so slightly every time I write) is about people taking advantage of the power the dragons give them and the ability to Bond with them. They are trying to bring the world to order under their rule. They are taking advantage of the fact the Origin Dragons are weakened when the balance is upset.
An opposing group is formed (the main characters) to combat them, though they are also acting against the current government of their world. They work in secret, using their abilities to escape the government’s notice while protecting the people and wild dragons from danger.
The world itself is composed of several islands, each with their own terrains and challenges. The cities are all different based on what resources are around them, and in general, things are kept pretty natural. There aren’t huge cities or many modern devices, since there’s no need for them.
I don’t know what else to say. I’ve made other fantasy stories, but I don’t know where my notes for them are. I’ve probably forgotten a few things, but that’s all I have for now.
