It is rather complex. I do like the 100 year bleeding prophecy because it seems improbable and then to have two technically fulfill it brings great conflict and intruigue that I think brings great captivation interest to your story. I don’t really think there are too many prophecies, but it’s all in how you write it. You could even perhaps have one of your characters make note or make fun of how many prophecies there are. Sometimes that is a great way to mask things like that – having the characters inside the story itself point out the extremes in a way that makes something that would typically be overdoing it acceptable, since the characters in the story are thinking the same thing as those reading the book. … if that makes sense…
the question about voltemand, hard for me to follow it as just going off of the synopsis provided, but depending upon how you write it, I think it can definitely work for you.
The plot is so complicated! Do you plan on making all this one book? If so, I’d imagine it’d be a rather long book?
The one thing that didn’t make too much sense to me is, if killing not only leads to the one who killed dying, but also the destruction of the whole country, why would they want to hold Kral until he disentegrates for killing someone?
“With the ability to control time, they will be able to thrust him back to the moment he killed Alaric and hold him there until he is annihilated by breaking the prophecy.”
wouldn’t that not destroy the country too?
