“You’re Kithnaryin,” Brendin said quietly after Jericho finished her story.

Surprised, albeit pleasantly so, the woman smiled.  “Yes, I am.”  Worry caught in her mind a moment.  It was unlikely, but if he knew of her people he might know the legend she told.  And if he knew that much, he might know who Jericho was.

“Falmarin?”

“Falkidarin,” Jer…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

Also, slightly unrelated, but you did promise me critique on the Stories and Fantasies thread, and I posted a new portion of story on there.

@joelle-stone

So what does Malvat think of her story (and evident healing abilities)?

@joelle-stone

I never told you; her full name is Jericho Kuvadhuh, or Jhiri Kivadh while in hiding.  So yes, Jericho is Obi-Wan/Kuvadhuh/Kivadh

@joelle-stone

Oh, she did so the name change thing to hide herself in the story

@joelle-stone Well if we think about this logically, who can we definitely confirm it is not (based on Jericho’s story)?

@joelle-stone

Congrats, you’re right.

@joelle-stone

The hint is…I genderflipped some male characters because Star Wars is saturated with testosterone.  Jericho is one such flipped character.

@joelle-stone

No, not Ahsoka.  Jericho is in the original trilogy but not the Mandalorian or the others.

Let me know if you need the hint.

@joelle-stone Good guess, but Rey is someone else.  I can give a hint if you need one.

In honor of @joelle-stone , here’s the next chunk of my story

~*~

Staring at the fallen beast Nadia realized with horror that one of the defenders had been caught between the heavy corpse and the battlements. Alexander Northiron, she guessed. The Duke’s son.

Frozen as she was with fear and shock, Nadia only managed a startled gasp when Ada b…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

Welcome back!  *Hugs*

And yes, Jericho comes from my attempts to recontextualize Star Wars into middle ages Indo-Arabia as a quick and dirty way to give her culture an epic story like the Ramayana.

(Whoever successfully guesses who she is in the story wins the reward of impressing me)

@kimlikesart @this-is-not-an-alien

If you are wondering yes, Jericho’s story is an abridged version of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

“Thank, thank you miss.”

Jericho smiled warmly in acknowledgement of the thanks.  “You are always welcome, my friend,” she said softly.

There was quiet a moment.

Then, realizing they were waiting on her to speak, she nodded once, almost to herself.  “Very well, I will tell my tales,” she said, “though I warn you; my people are story…[Read more]

Karayan merely observed the actions of others for several minutes.  He took particular note of the young woman feigning weakness.  The others around the room were all dangerous, but they were rather open about it.  She’d likely prove deceitful and manipulative.  Best to avoid her.
Casting his violet cat-eyes across the room again, Karayan not…[Read more]

Jericho was watching the others keenly, waiting to see if any had tales they wanted to share first.  She noticed Nithel’s shoulder seemed stiff and he caught her eyes a moment before looking down and rolling his fingers.  Concern crossed her features.  “My friend,” she said, standing to approach and inspect his shoulder, “you needn’t put on a br…[Read more]

“I know we haven’t gone very fair, but maybe we should rest here,” Alessio suggested, “for a while.”

As they sat down, Brendin lowered the pack of supplies.  The woman produced a bundle of kindling from presumably somewhere within the folds of her robe and set about arranging it to make a warm fire.  Once she had finished she cast a querying gl…[Read more]

Jericho listened silently as the man told his story.  She could tell from the way he spoke, and the way his emotions quavered, that this was not any story; it was his.  She did hear the small grunt of pain uttered but she waited for him to finish before interrupting.

“Nithel, my friend,” she murmured softly, quiet enough only he could hear, “…[Read more]

@kimlikesart I believe you confused my two villains…

Þorunn is female, the only daughter and second oldest child of a Viking Thane.

Karayan is male, a vetala (a vampiric feline humanoid).

~*~

Þorunn glanced around the hall, noting how the many Pawns stared at her naked blade.  It was always best to go with a gentle, amiable approach when de…[Read more]

@kimlikesart Thank you!
