About my WIP, then!

Tales of Wilted Flowers is a high fantasy adventure story, set in the fictional world of Ravaryn. The lands live a supposed age of glory, after the heroes of old vanquished a great threat, having saved the lands from unfathomable evil. The problem is, the heroes of old are long since dead, and though the kingdoms are still thriving and most of the people worship the heroes almost as much as they do the gods, that "vanquished evil" is returning. With a vengeance. Though no one sees it/cares about it, and most people think this golden age will last a thousand years more, the threat is real, and approaching fast. And this time, with no one to stop it.

Or so they thought.

It so happens that a group of outcasts - people whom the lands shunned, mistreated, and forgot about - might just be the ones brave enough to stand up and do what is right. Even if just for the sake of their own futures.

Because depending on their "beloved heroes" won't same anyone when the Banished Deity returns. Much, much less will trusting the heroes' long-removed only descendant do anyone any good.

The current King - young monarch Tieran Kallasen - is the descendant of the ancient heroes who saved the lands. His family basks in the glory of their ancestors and their name, hallowed as protectors of the realms. But he is nothing like his ancestors, and neither is his family. After so much time, even the finest gold loses its shine and fades into rust. Tieran grew up in the shadow of a now hollow legacy, with a name whose only might was the actions of people who lived centuries ago. Without it, he knows he is nothing. And so, haunted by this knowledge, and that of a prophecy that spoke of the "weak link that would doom his dynasty", Tieran became a conqueror, seeking power in an alliance with unfathomable evil. Becoming exactly the kind of person his ancestors had sworn to thwart. Joining forces with the cruel and ruthless High Sorcerer, Lord Eldryc, was just one more of his steps towards what he called victory.

When Xarian Argirys, a runaway outlaw trying to free himself from his past, meets Lorelai Wildwood, the daughter of a supposed traitor, who wants nothing more than to become a hero like the ones she'd read about and find her father, the two join forces against the threat they know is coming - and against their own king.

Oh, these dialogues are so cool!!! Thank you so much for sharing! (I especially loved Alice's "Zip it, Sparky" line lol). Happy Halloween! (:

Trick or Treat? 🎃

(From this Writeblr Halloween Event)

Yay! This is my final one of these.

Happy Halloween, @mysticstarlightduck. Idk what to give you... I want it to be special, though. How about a reveal of the secret blogger in book 2 (Steph's Crew)?

Yeah... no. There's no way I'm giving that one away lol.

How about a nice little bonus scene from the sequel instead?

A Tense Exchange

(Elise and Alice are still seated on the couch when Stephanie and Dylan arrive at the Johnson residence. Stephanie starts casually talking to the group, clearly not picking up on the tension in the air)

Stephanie: Hey, ladies! What's going on?

Alice: (huffily) Wouldn't you like to know...

Stephanie: Uh, yeah. That's why I asked.

Elise: Nothing's going on, Steph. We were just having a word.

Stephanie: OK. Great! What about?

Elise: You, funnily enough.

Stephanie: Really?

Dylan: What a coinci-dink.

Elise: Indeed, Dylan.

(Uncomfortable silence falls upon the room)

Stephanie: What about me?

Dylan: (sits down next to Alice) I don't like this conversation anymore.

Alice: Steph, you know what you did. What you've been doing.

Stephanie: Investigating a local case?

Elise: She was actually referring to your whole "sleeping with my ex thing". If I'm not mistaken.

Stephanie: Ah. (leans against the wall) That thing.

Dylan: Do we really need to talk about this now, girls? It really doesn't feel ri-

Alice: Zip it, Sparky.

Dylan: Fine.

Alice: I feel like I speak for everyone here when I say: What the hell do you think you are doing here, woman?! You. Are. Married!!!

(There's more to this scene lol. I think I'll post the rest in a reblog later if that's ok. Hope you enjoyed it so far!)

Thank you for the Ask, @doublegoblin!

Have some neat worldbuilding facts about my current WIP - Tales of Wilted Flowers! (:

THE WORLDBUILDING FACTS:

There are 6 ancient families, known as the Sovereign Houses, that are said to have held incredible power in the lands of Ravaryn, after the Sentinels defeated the old gods - now known as the Banished. It is said that - initially - the role of these powerful families was to protect different kingdoms of the realm from ever falling under the sway of the Banished again. Now, however, many years later, they mainly exert political power over the nations of Ravaryn from behind the scenes, with some feuds and alliances to spare.

In the world and lore of the continent of Ravaryn, the humanoid creatures called "vampires" are actually blood-drinking (vampiric) faeries, who are extremely powerful as their magic comes from the life essence extracted from blood. Arista Bryar, one of the main characters of the book, is a half-vampire.

The Lydean Sea one of the most mythical places in all of Ravaryn, with many legends and tales about its strange waters covered by iridescent mists and filled with dreadful monsters. Most tales are true, and still, many secrets remain about this unique body of water - where only the bravest sailors dare to go.

The main kingdoms of Ravaryn are: Wenhorn - one of the biggest and most powerful kingdoms in the realm, as well as being the home to the descendants of the Sentinels of the past; Allanar - a mainly elven and fae kingdom, being within the ancient lands of both these civiizations; and Thysfire - a smaller, slightly more backwater, kingdom, mostly known for its magical exports and an age-old feud/dislike towards Wenhorn. But there are many others, just not as relevant to the main story and initial political conflicts within the Book 1 of Tales of Wilted Flowers.
