Brink

When Aleck collapsed on the floor half an hour later, he was feeling slightly crazy, and very tired, from dodging traps.

“Well, we’re out of that crazy hallway of traps.” He rubbed the bruise on his shoulder tenderly that had been inflicted by a swinging hammer. “That last volley of arrows that flew out of the wall was a little too close.” Aleck…[Read more]

@ashira, yah, I kind of knew all that, but I wasnt’ about to say so, because I was trying to discourage the death, not encourage it. Whatever, I lost the argument, but I still say she should be spared.

@theresa-play, that argument was for you too, just forgot to tag you.

@ashira You were supposed to agree with me. People are so heartless.

Books are not supposed to be like life. Not too much like it at any rate. That’s why we can have villains without thinking, really, badguys like this really are not this common that they appear in every book. You don’t have to make it like real life. And frankly. I don’t know of…[Read more]

@andrew, totally clear, and I think its great so far!

@r-m-archer

Sounds very interesting. I’d love to read it!

“This Deathrock guy is crazy. You know, I wouldn’t be too surprised if I found these ‘magic rubies were just a hoax. He seems crazy enough.” Aleck grinned.

@theresa-play, don’t kill her! I hate it when the little kids get killed. That just ruins a book for me. I mean I’m okay with you killing off older people, especially if they are sacrificing themselves for something, but don’t kill off the innocent little kids, especially the innocent little girl. That’s so nasty. I would never forgive you if you…[Read more]

I will say this though, in answer to question 2, I think the characters are clear and Chloe is a good main character.

Also, so far I don’t think I’ve seen much on that theme. I wouldn’t have guessed the theme was anything like that if you hadn’t told me, but I guess the story is only just begun.

The card game was cool, but it was long and kind…[Read more]

@andrew, sorry, I’d love to help you out, but I won’t have time to answer your questions. Sorry!

@graceabounds2129

These aren’t done, right? When I started reading it I thought it was all one thing, and that was the whole story, but I’m assuming (and hoping) I’m wrong.

“Uh, I’m not totally sure. I can’t do it again, I’ll tell you that.” Aleck shrugged. He wished he could take the attention away from himself. “So, where to next?”

@dakota, nice!

“Well, at least its just spears. I mean, the traps could be much worse, you know,” Aleck said. “And no, I am not usually an optimist, but I thought it might be helpful. Maybe. Anyway, another good thing about these is that it should be hard for Malcom Ace to follow.” Aleck suddenly stopped.

“Wait, Julius, where did you say that spear thing…[Read more]

@kari-karast, @andrew

I want to still finish this thing! Lets not stop writing on here completely! The story was getting pretty good if I might say so myself.

@mckinley, The bards were singing poets if I am not mistaken. There ballads, weren’t about girly subjects, though, but were rather stories of heroes and wars and similar things.

@brandon-miller

Sounds good! Also, who won the last word war?

I submitted when I wrote that comment…

Thanks!

Sounds good.
