Ooooh I like this plan! Just be warned that Niarok will probably find some epic way to make Ayden not find himself worthless, and if he doesn’t, I’m going to be disappointed in my character development… Jk lol I get so in Niarok’s head that when he can’t fix something it makes me feel guilty…
LOL, I absolutely LOVE how this ‘plot’ is accidentally transforming into the exact plot I have planned for Aydin in the third book. The character development is so similar it’s actually hilarious at this point. I’m practically using it as a character arc first draft XD
OOOOHHH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess you’re right – Niarok has not told anyone he used to be an assassin…
Which was honestly kind of a surprise and explained a lot of his traumatic backstory for me so ya know… XD
It would be cool if Niarok and Ayden realized they have even more in common.
Aydin has very strong feelings about his past as an assassin and he’s going to HATE having it announced to everyone. It’ll be brilliant, I’m going to see if I can get him mad XD I have seldom succeeded in getting Aydin mad, it’s unbelievably hard. He usually backs down before that happens.
Liorah is the opposite. Her main emotion is unbridled rage. Her other emotion is unbridled empathy and mother-hen-ness, so they cancel out nicely XD (I realize I cannot stop talking about Liorah but in my defense I haven’t written her in over two weeks and she’s hammering at my brain like the little gremlin she is.)
LOL, and I want to know Yila’s reaction to this… she might just kill him out of principle XD Man, this is going to be cool. If you don’t mind, I’m going to do a bit of a time skip and wake up Niarok because I want it to happen so bad XD
HAHAHAHAHA that’s soooo relatable though!!!! Lol I forgot like three whole characters at one point during the first draft of my WIP. It was bad…
Mood XD I do it all the time, especially with animals. My characters make their presence known but the pets just disappear for scenes at a time. Often I reread and then I go “I forgot the raven again, didn’t I?” XD
