Zergrinch Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 Interesting. so ML is an Elven Druid and LM is a Human Ranger... Let us see how this story develops. And because I am OCD: he felt something like a "tag" like vertigo. <-- did you mean "tug"? A.B 1
A.B Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 lol I am not influenced by D&D for this story and the characters, don't think so much in terms of "druid" or "sorcerer" or "ranger"...as you'll see further in the story it is basically, elves, humans and a few more races that will be introduced along the way. Then you have warriors, magic users and Speakers. Warriors can chose to learn and specialise in one or more weapons. Magic users or magicians can specialise in one form of magic like fire wizards or water wizards or healers or they magic wards against other magic users or speakers etc. Respectively Speakers can spelialise in defensive or offensive use of abilities and runes and can learn to use a weapon as well if they want. I tried to "escape" the norm of "oh ok I am a sorcerer I can't handle any other weapon for love of life or money" or "Oh I am a warrior I can only use swords but nothing else" etc. I would consider my influences to be far and wide like LOTR and video game RPGs but suited down to what and how I wanted to write it. So Marco (for now he does have an elven name to learn ) is an elf and he will probably decide to speciliase in bow and magic, although there are a lot more revelations to be had and things change Lucas is a Speaker (you'll find out what that means soon enough) and he can use sword(s) as well. So they each have different abilities yes but not D&D wise/like. I wonder...have I clarified things for you or have I made it worse?! :D
Zergrinch Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 We'll have to wait and see. As I've told Kyle Aarons a while back, I'm horrible at subtlety, you have to whack me upside the head with something, figuratively speaking. Which was kind of what you did ~~~ A.B 1
A.B Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 lol I've told you nothing that you won't learn within the next chapter and if you'd like I am just as proficient at literal whacking on the head :P
Guest mark c. Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 So far, am intrigued by the first chapter. A good first chapter is essential or the reader is not drawn in enough to want to keep turning the pages.

Mark C. Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Excuse me, A.B, but where is chapter two? I can't wait forever you know, grin.... Yikes, just saw two more gray hairs come in on my head while waiting.... Oh wait... I already am gray... Ok, you are off the hook.... So write and and stop reading these posts, bigger grin.... A.B 1
Zergrinch Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Only 16 chapters? That is totally not enough chapters for them to take over that world and ascend to godhood
A.B Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 This is volume 1. There's 3 vols. and it was never about taking over the world...or godhood...not exactly
Zergrinch Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Nonsense. We always know that when someone is inexplicably transported to another world and gain powers, they will quickly ascend the ranks of power And also: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChangelingFantasy Mark C. and A.B 2
A.B Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 uh huh well we shall have to wait and see then won't we? I'm just as clueless as you are!! Those kids have a mind of their own!!!!! Mark C. 1
A.B Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 nah not that troppe exactly....twists in a twist
NiteOwl13 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Ok I will have to reread this chapter over again I must have missed something taking over a world and two more books ? Good read thanks A.B 1
Zergrinch Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 uh huh well we shall have to wait and see then won't we? I'm just as clueless as you are!! Those kids have a mind of their own!!!!! Sure those kids have minds but Mr. Aye Bee has control of exogenous events and thus can puppeteer them that way
A.B Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 uhm..no Valana really exists and I just am a poor chronicler of that and it is A.B.
Mark C. Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Hey, A.B., since Valana exists, where do I find the embassy so I can get a visa to visit?? Would like to frolic and have fun in an intriguing land. maybe we can meet and have lunch!
A.B Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Find a museum touch a talisman, wait for the security to knock you out and hope that when you wake up you're not in jail :P
Mark C. Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Ummmm, wouldn't it be less painful if an Immigration Unicorn just stamped my passport and I stepped through a magic portal?
