Updates: The Accidental Immortal and Princess' Path

9/30/2015

0 Comments

 
So exciting things this week! I hope that everyone enjoyed the Accidental Immortal. An immortal named Fin has been kicking around my brain for a while now. I only recently had a revelation of how he became that way.  I have a lot of plans for Fin. He will have his own series called inFINite. I also know a lot about Eleven that I am holding back for now.

In bigger news, the Princess' Path was finally updated with the fourth installment Power Play. In this we finally learn what Myriah has been up to all this time. A new character was also introduced. I added an new picture to the story (I didn't want to make you wait any longer).

The next story will be Powerless and then the final installment of the Princess' Path, A Journey's End.

As you all know, I don't like specifying ethnicity in my stories, but when I do art, I feel that I should state it better. Specifically for Caroline. I had a fair about of trouble painting Caroline the way I picture her. Caroline is half Caucasian, half Filipina. Her hair is lighter than black but not quite brown, it's lightened more from exposure to sunlight than anything else.

The end of Power Play will have lasting ramifications for the characters. I hope you liked the twist!


Would anyone like me to create a new tab for the blog stories so that they are better organized? The catagories show the stories in a reverse order that confuses some people. (Let me know in the poll on the right!)

I have a few new stories in the works that I hope to have up and posted within the week. (One I hope to be done tomorrow.)

Until then, happy reading!

The Temporary Truce

The sequel to Why a Witch? The second installment in the Princess' Path.

Caroline sighed as she let go of the old man's withered fingers. She smiled prettily at him while he fervently thanked her. She was utterly exhausted. Caroline raised her hand, and Hans helped her up. She thanked him as she leaned heavily into his strong shoulder. Hans supported her without comment or complaint and they left the building. He'd seemed distant of late. Caroline tried not to let it worry her. After all, he was entitled to his own life. Hans wasn't just her prince. He had talents, interests, and friends, just like she did, and Caroline respected that. Still... It concerned her sometimes. It was only natural for her to worry. He was her prince as much as she was his princess. His need to protect her when she was in danger was as powerful as her need to heal him when he was hurt.

Caroline worried that Myriah had done something to him, that dreadful witch. It frightened her to think about. Caroline knew that Myriah was up to something, something important. Myriah had collected Caroline's blood the last time they'd crossed paths, and her tears the time before that. It suggested powerful magic, the type of magic that could harm even a prince. Caroline had no idea why Myriah targeted her specifically when there were a dozen other princesses in the world, but she knew that the witch was dangerous. Caroline was so concerned about Myriah she was completely blindsided by the real threat.

Caroline could only scream as the vampiress Natalia spirited Hans away into the night. What was Caroline to do? She had to find away to reach Hans and heal him before he was turned, but how? She was a princess, not a knight. Caroline was about to call on several knights who owed her a favor, and the princess Gwendolyn to enlist the aid of her prince Cedric, when she blacked out and woke in one of Myriah's shadowy lairs. Caroline began to fight as soon as she came to. Myriah was surprised by Caroline's veracity. The princess was usually quite docile while she awaited rescue, other than the occasional tongue lashing.

Caroline foolishly revealed to Myriah her prince's fate. Myriah's interest was peaked, and she proposed a temporary alliance. She needed something from the vampiress Natalia, though she refused to divulge specifics. Myriah knew a way into the castle, but she needed Caroline's help to use it. There wasn't enough time for Caroline to find the knights who could help her thanks to the hateful witch. After Myriah revealed a few colorful details about Natalia's "collection" of princes, Caroline grudgingly consented.

Art Updates and The Snow Demon's Daughter

I hope that you all like the art. I've been adding several of my artist trading cards to the site as illustrations. Most of them are on the landing pages for each tab. I even made an entirely new one for the Crestwood Chronicles. I like it. I think it would have been better if I could have made the aura orange and red, but I couldn't blend them well enough with my pens, and I thought it might look cheap.

I added a story called the Snow Demon's Daughter which is about a Yuki-Onna who is half demon and half human.
It would be fun to create an artist trading card for. I wrote this story a good five years ago for a class, so I don't think it's my best work. I just wanted to update more often, and I am busy with my Excelsior script.

I'm hiding the Author's Comments about the Snow Demon's Daughter, so when you click "Read More" make sure you've already read the Snow Demon's Daughter or be ready for spoilers.

Update: Added picture for the Snow Demon's Daughter. (May 27, 2015)

Prince Charming's Daughter

The King, who was once Prince Charming, never thought he would have a daughter. In fact, the possibility had never even occurred to him. Not once. But now it had happened and he was terrified. The realization that he had a daughter was more paralyzing than fighting a dragon or matching wits with a witch. It wasn't a safe world for a princess. He knew that better than anyone. How many royal maidens had he rescued from curses or dragons? Villains didn't seem to be worth their salt unless they had done something to a princess, and there just weren't that many princesses in the world!

But worse than that were the men. The King felt a hollow pit in his stomach as he considered the potential rescuers for his precious baby girl. The King knew better than anyone the type of person that might be attracted to a rescue attempt. He himself had been a lowly fifth son of a king who ruled a small and bankrupt nation before he began his crusade as 'Prince Charming' and rescued the wealthy, powerful princess who was now his Queen. The King knew of even worse options. A man who had nearly been his brother-in-law had stumbled into the title of prince by saving a princess. She died after marrying him, but the low bred brute had retained the title to impress the next princess he rescued.

No. The King decided. None of that. Not for his little girl. But how? The King couldn't always protect her from evil? Anything he tried, whether it be enlisting the aid of a good fairy or seeking to vanquish all evil from the land, would only draw farther attention to his little girl. What could he do?

As the King took his precious princess into his arms for the first time, and looked into her deep brown eyes, he realized there was only one way to ensure she was always safe. He had to train her to protect herself.
