Also, I didn’t know you’re an artist too!

She illustrates my book😀 and makes my MC look as stupid as he actually is lol

CONROY

I flew back, smashing into the wall. I glanced fearfully at the giant. Was he going to start another fight? I searched the room for a good hiding spot.

None.

If the giant attacked, I was as good as dead.

The giant drew out his sword.

I whimpered, pressing myself against the wall. Goodbye world!

But the giant didn’t attack. Instead, he…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard

Oh nice!  Do you use oils, watercolors, or acrylics?

Acrylics are just…way too hard for me at this stage of life XD  I want to get better at watercolors though!

Exactly!  I also really appreciate that the faith aspects aren’t shallow, and that people are encouraged to dig deep, to explore, and even to respectfully di…[Read more]

What if the castle offered to let them experience the fulfillment of their greatest longing?  That could be kind of sad, but also hopeful for the characters who are working for a goal.

Also, some characters might not even be aware of what their greatest longing is…

You’re welcome!

…soft brat?

Idk, Basil is just…very Basil XD

😂 that’s actually a really good description XD

Also, I didn’t know you’re an artist too!  Are you a digital or traditional painter?

I’m a traditional painter. Computers and I don’t get along very well (I even prefer to write with pen and paper, especially first drafts).…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Great idea! Lol I have a feeling Saevus will get to show his full potential here, hehe…

Yeah, the summoning thing…random, spur of the moment idea that worked perfectly.

I think a reward if you win, and a punishment if you lose, is a great idea! What shall the reward be… *tries to think of somet…[Read more]

I was thinking it might be the only way to get some of our…more rational and level headed characters involved XD

Ah, ok. Yeah, I could totally see Yarrow settling down in a chair to watch the show😂

But as far as the reward goes…maybe the castle grants them a small wish? Like, it gives them something small they really really wan…

@calidris You are very welcome! 😁

Scripture illuminates scripture.

@obrian-of-the-surface-world that actually really does help!  Thank you so much for your input!

@lady-grace see, I was thinking it might be the only way to get some of our…more rational and level headed characters involved XD

Ooh that could be a cool punishment…

But as far as the reward goes…maybe the castle grants them a small wish? Like, it gives them something small they really really want?

Or it could give them each a present…[Read more]

Hi @calidris,

I think too often we miss the central issue of what Peter was saying:

He is pointing to the importance of having a beautiful soul and not just superficial and showing dress and outward adornments.

Some people may be coiffed to the nines, have a sharply cut and tailored suit, golden cuff links, a $200 haircut, clean shaven, with…[Read more]

@lady-grace sooo…if they lose, does EVERYONE have to partake in the challenge, or just the people who attacked him?

Also we have to think of a suitable punishment XD

@calidris

Like, if they beat him they get a reward, but if they lose…then they have to undergo another heart wrenching challenge!

That would be cruel… I like it😂

@this-is-not-an-alien

“Wait you can do that!?!?” Ehud gasped staring at the summoned Lord Castle. He grabbed a chair, ready to hurl it. “I call dibs!!!”

😂😂

“Wait you can do that!?!?” Ehud gasped staring at the summoned Lord Castle. He grabbed a chair, ready to hurl it. “I call dibs!!!”

@ethan-leonard oooh do you want the castle to give them an ultimatum?  Like, if they beat him they get a reward, but if they lose…then they have to undergo another heart wrenching challenge!

So then, other characters might join in against the castle even though they’re not terribly fond of Saevus XD

@this-is-not-an-alien

Why not? Miles is a warrior and a leader at heart, and having him join (or even lead) an attack on whatever the Amnesia in the Mirror of Unforgiveness and Vengefulness is sounds like a great idea!

I’ll let someone else start it off.

Also, are we allowed to destroy it?

@calidris

Ah ok, that makes sense

Very well…*laughs wickedly*

Saevus was exploding with fury. Never had ANYONE shamed him in such a way as this. Stoking the flames that enveloped him to an intense blaze, he roared and released a shock wave that blasted everyone back a even rendered the table into pieces. Drawing his sword, Saevus began ch…[Read more]
