“Ohel bar Oz bar Hezekiah.” The bedraggled but now somewhat more dignified stranger said in a low, measured voice. “Nephew to King Manasseh bar Hezekiah.”
Well, he looked tense enough to make a board look relaxed, Nathair thought. Like they could hold a knife to his throat at any second which…no that was a pretty accurate assessment of the group…[Read more]

There were a lot of people Alessio didn’t know now and it was disconcerting. But he didn’t have time for that he just needed to keep his cool and thin-
“BURN!” A girl yelled sharply enough Alessio flinched out of his skin. “Leave the evil pool alone! For just a minute! Okay? One minute!”
Wait, no. Nobody needed to touch the glowing pool?!?!

Alessio didn’t look up until he felt Leana hand. He blinked, glancing up at her thoughtful, kind eyes. How was he supposed to protect her, or anyone here!? Everything was going to come crashing down all at once, he was sure. But he still felt warm when she squeezed his arm, and he froze in place trying so hard not to flinch or anything that w…[Read more]

Alessio glanced up as Nathair wandered off. He’d noticed Leana seemed to sympathize with the man, and Nathair was so good with words, he’d use that to his advantage Alessio knew. But if he said anything, if he said too much he’d kill him.
Biting his lip, Alessio curled his knees into his chest. The pounding of his own heart thudded against him n…[Read more]

“Ah yes the glowy evil water” Nathair said, “You know, maybe we should consult the grownups on this, mm?”

Nathair was getting bored (terrifying prospect, he knows). So he wandered off in search of Burn to annoy. He was talking to somebody new (that or Nathair just hadn’t bothered to remember the strange, masked person).
“Burn’s the only person I’ve known before…whatever this is.” Search was saying to the man.
“I’ve learned the names of the people I…[Read more]

Hey, what if Lord Amnesia throws them all into one of our characters’ worlds at some point? That could develop how the characters acted in their own element and develop worldbuilding mechanics and everything!
If anybody’s interested we could use a chart like this to introduce the world and then try to build from there?

Cathy replied to the topic POV+tense for individual books in a series.. in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 3 months ago
Many popular books change POV later in the series like the Divergent Series and the Percy Jackson series. It can take away from the reader’s experience in some cases but in others it enhances the storytelling.
There’s not rule either way that can’t be broken! I think if it clicks really well, adds something fresh to each book narrative and…[Read more]

“I told him he needed to give her flowers, but he didn’t follow my genius advice.” Arsene chirped. Are you done!?!? HE DIDN’T HAVE A CRUSH ON LEANA HE DIDN’T!!!!! WHY WAS EVERYONE TORMENTING HIM LIKE THIS!?!?!?!?!

Alessio buried his face into Nithel’s shoulder, wanting everything to stop, to just be safe for a few minutes.
There was so much he wanted to say and so many questions he wanted to ask. But he also didn’t want to move or breathe or do anything that might break the spell. Really he just didn’t want to be alone, with no one he could depend on.…[Read more]

Leana was watching him in a very pathetic sort of way. Nathair raised an eyebrow as she moved toward him, still with that helpful sort of innocence. Nobody had ever really hurt her yet, had they? For her to still be that naïve…
Nithel made a move to stop her.
“It’s fine, Papa.” She said gently, like a girl with a stubborn streak. Nithel didn’t t…[Read more]

“I don’t know what else I could want…” Nithel said softly. Alessio clenched his jaw and glared at Nathair, who just smiled at him. Nathair was good at putting people on their defensive, with his words. Alessio didn’t know if he even consciously did it anymore…
He just wanted to run, as far away as possible. They didn’t need to get in trouble be…[Read more]

Nathair was sulking in some corner of the room pretending he wasn’t sulking by reading all the labels on the still intact glass tubes.
He stopped when he heard someone behind him and turned to see Nithel with Leana clinging to him like the trusting innocent she was. What did he want now?
“I’m sorry…” Nithel said softly. “I shouldn’t h…[Read more]
