....hmmmm, they’re not expecting Roisin to fight until she’s back to full strength...?...but I have a feeling that she might come face to face with Treleva before her strength is restored...
Indeed, and might she and Syl finally reunite? :o

....oh, so the power of the crystals were able to be used to make Roisins’s armour...?...and shows walking unaided...:lovedup:...I really think that she’s going to have to face that battle sooner than anyone would have hoped...
Scarlett.
24-08-2020, 11:37 AM
Indeed, she's ready for any eventuality now :D
...yeah, let’s hope it is ‘anything’ ...because Treleva and Keegan are heartless and merciless, I think...
Scarlett.

Yep, and they've been very quiet recently

...I’m feeling the tensions all building now, Scarlett...Roisin is obviously going to push herself, we always knew that ...but even before the battles begin, she’s weakened from her injuries still, plus she’s struggling to control the crystal powers with her anger bouts...Rychard is not someone who can be trusted at all to help and Amanda is just sinister and a constant threat, encircling them...and ughhhh, Trevela, just so heartless and Keegan is poisoned against her...we can feel everything building and I hope that it doesn’t lead to the end of Roisin or any of the friends...
Scarlett.
25-08-2020, 05:38 PM
Indeed, things are building up now, hopefully Roisin can contain the power building inside her.

...’...you didn’t remain ignorant and you took a stand against something you once stood for..’..I love how you make so many things with their world and our world so relatable, you know...and the ‘mutant fiends’ are happening as the result of their ‘Earth destruction..’...such clever writing, Scarlett to create these associations etc...:love:..

Thank you! I like holding a mirror up to the real world like that, it helps build a realistic idea of what Crystalla is like :D

...it’s also a really cute thought that worlds are not so different...(...although there might be some ways that we would like them not to be ...:laugh:..)....but the references and association to our own familiarities etc...really help as well, I think... when it’s such unfamiliar surroundings as with fantasy worlds...you really do those references very perfectly, Scarlett...

...oh my Lord, Dex!!!!...Roisin is learning the power and control of the Crystals...she saved him through their powers...and also, she’s surviving their powers and hadn’t realised how able to control them, she was...and not a battle needed to be fought and no enemies needed to be faced, as such...I loved that ending, Scarlett...you built and kept that threat all of the way through and then the ending was perfect with no more harm coming to Roisin and her being reunited with Dex...:lovedup:...another great read, Scarlett...:love:...
....and ooooooo, I’ll begin Sanctuary City of Hope, in the next few days...I’ll look forward to it...:love:...

Indeed! I felt it was about time Roisin had a break from tragedy :D
Sanctuary will be a different sort of book, instead of being set across the world, its mostly going to be set in the city :D

..Prologue../..Chapter 1 of Sanctuary...
...what you been up to...?...oh nuthin, just riding a dragon etc, the usual...what you been up to, then...oh not much happening, really...just became a bit robot etc, you know how people do...:laugh:...
..Chapter 2...
...you know that Dex has to be eternal now because it would be too much to bear if Roisin lost him again...and actually, Roisin has to be eternal as well because it would be too Shakespeare tragic if Dex were to lose her ....Second Chance is a really interesting chapter and concept, actually...if we had a second chance at life but still possessed the memories of our first life, as it were...and the added layer of our first life being deliberately taken by someone...?...I might be pondering that all day actually...:laugh:..I’ll read the other chapter tomorrow probably just because I don’t want to catch up too quickly...but a great start, Scarlett...:love:..
Scarlett.
06-09-2020, 12:08 PM
Indeed, Dex still feels kind of... lost, except when he's with Roisin
...Light in the Dark...
...you said, Scarlett...that Sanctuary had a slightly different feel to it..?..and that, I think, can be felt already ...even only a few chapters in, you know...atm, it feels ‘lighter’ and maybe a bit more playful in the connections of the characters...also very personal moments of Roisin talking about the loss of her arm and how she often can feel it as if it’s there....?...to reveal inner thoughts of such a personal nature suggest comfort and intimacy/trust also...which does reflect what you said about it being set within ‘comforting walls’ this time...
...well I guess we’ll see how comforting those city walls are going to be...:laugh:...dun, dun, dun...
Scarlett.
07-09-2020, 11:29 PM
Indeed, this book is definately more like that, more character focused, though it will still have some actiony parts!

...Dawn of the Dark...
...this chapter with the log entries, Scarlett...it’s giving me vibes of 30 Days of Night...I don’t mind the dark/night itself but night creatures creep me a little...if there is something to fear, I want to actually see that something...prolonged darkness would just not be a good world to be in...
Scarlett.
08-09-2020, 03:28 PM
Indeed, the only areas left with natural light now are the cities with Crystals. The Western Continent is unaffected as they have only lost one Crystal

..Sins of the Mother...
...this chapter really shows the complications of a mother/child relationship, Scarlett..as Ariel said...she felt so much hate and yet a part of her would always feel love as well, no matter the evil that Amanda may have been...and although their feelings for a long time might have been already of a type of loss...?...they were both feeling the tremendous heaviness of grief again..?...it’s so well written, Scarlett...you show a deep understanding of relationships and their complications...
...I also should have said...your graphics are gorgeous...I adore the one for this chapter...:lovedup:..
Scarlett.
10-09-2020, 10:57 PM
Indeed, when she was at Sanctuary, she was able to believe Amanda would make it back on her own, but when she left the city, she began to lose that hope and reality set in
I really liked this graphic too, its actually taken from Amanda's character poster

...Waiting Room...(..another lovely chapter graphic, Scarlett...:love:...)...
...I know that you’re especially gifted at writing fantasy world/sci fi, type things...but I also love how you explore the depth of ‘human’ and its complications as well, Scarlett...you really do write with such considerations...that such sadness and pain could be felt for someone as evil and cold as Amanda by those who her evil has been directed at..?...isn’t so much about the person that emotion is being felt about, it’s about those who are feeling it and why they are feeling it so deeply...because they place value on ‘loss’ in a way that Amanda never has and never could....
Scarlett.
12-09-2020, 12:14 PM
Indeed, while it is a fantasy mixed with sci-fi, the heart of the story is the human (or person xD) drama and the interactions between the characters :D
and thank you, I tried to do this graphic 'in-world' :D

...another excellent chapter and another excellent graphic, Scarlett...
...New Arrivals...
...the refugees from Aranei arriving...?...these weren’t the people responsible for the death of their homeland...but that’s how they were ‘judged’ by Syl but the refugees were victims too...and it’s often also that ‘naive’ is accused, isn’t it...?...when what Roisin showed was very far from ‘naive’...she showed a depth of knowledge of experience, but it didn’t change her for remaining true to herself and who she is...’she had a complete experience of those deaths in her homeland but wouldn’t judge all by some of a specific hateful mindset../...she wouldn’t react to those deaths by becoming someone she wasn’t and remains true to herself...she’s completely the right person to safeguard crystals and their powers, I think...
Scarlett.
14-09-2020, 02:11 PM
Indeed! It's not that Syl is bad for feeling the way he does, he has every right to hate the Araneian Empire and Amanda, that said, he's always thought of Aranei as it's military force and not the citizens.
I've wanted to do a story about refugees for a while, but felt it needed to be worked into the story properly :)
Glad you like the graphics again :D

...’things and stuff’...makes me think of that Walking Dead/Rick gif...’stuff and thangs’....:laugh’...I love the way you blend together things like the ominous darkness that they’re all living with, with lighter/playful things like Roisin’s favourite chocolates, you know...?...I guess that it shows how they’re all adapting to the darkness as part of their ‘normal’ lives...as we are with Ms Corona, you could say..?...another good chapter, Scarlett...:love:..
Scarlett.
17-09-2020, 11:54 AM
Indeed, its hard to adapt to a new normal, but people can always manage it.
I had planned to write another chapter last night, but my internet went for a few hours xD

...wouldn’t it be amazing, Scarlett...if we could just type our day into a computer and it would become a ‘reality’...like blue skies, or snow days or autumn mornings..?...that would be spectacular...:flutter:...’the dome’, though could contain some sinister ‘controlling’ aspects as well, hmmmmm...this is Rychard after all and never trust Rychard...what if the blue skies are some type of mind controlling blue skies, like the power to control dreams...again, I love how you parallel ‘real life stuff’ in your stories as well...it’s so cleverly done and makes them so relatable...:love:..
Scarlett.

...I love Arranthian...:love:...we haven’t seen enough of him yet, I don’t think...’glyph magick, is it....hmmmm, I wonder how that adds with ‘crystal magic’ as it were, as well....and the Ancient Beings sound like a wise and friendly/protective group/collective...but I don’t think they are...:laugh:..
..Bad Blood...
..but now possibly, ‘good blood’...?.../...the exorcism of Keegan...the first part of that chapter, Scarlett...?...I read so quickly because I thought this would be a moment when there would only be one survivor..?...either Roisin or Keegan were going to be seriously harmed...but no, it would be lovely if Keegan did become her ‘true twin’ and became an ally...:love:..but we still can’t really trust him, can we...
...Prisoner of Hope...
...I should have read this chapter first, before I thought, could Keegan be trusted...obviously we don’t fully know yet, but I’m thinking...yes he can...but I’m also thinking that he won’t betray Roisin, but that he might not survive whatever is ahead of them to face together...:sad:../..overthinking, I know...
Scarlett.

Scarlett.

Mizu will appear much more over time :D This was her introduction :)
Fun fact: The statue in the Weight of the World one is 'Atlas' xD

...I think that your characters have grown and developed so much as well and they deserve that detail...I love that you have this incredible creative talent to focus on, Scarlett...we all so much need focuses for our emotional energies in times like these, especially...and your writing is always such a joy to read...:love:..
Indeed, now their personalities are fully formed, they deserve a better introduction :D

....ooooo, really exciting prologue....that’s excellent, Scarlett...:love:..
Thank you! The first person perspective in the first one seemed quite awkward, so I shifted to third person, doing so meant I could add a ton more detail!

I wonder who that could be :laugh:
I'll write some more of both today! :D

Perhaps, or they could have been wrong D:

She was killed of with the intent of her being brought back as a Crystalla :D

... Varla/Trump...?...I love how you always draw parallels to real events, Scarlett...it makes your stories so easily relatable...Varla really does encompass ‘pure evil’ in her feelings that killing/taking human life and lives..?...is how she feels life and energy etc, breathed into her...there is nothing redeeming, not one thing...her evil is completely undiluted...
New chapter!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EmRISxUWMAUi4AV?format=png&name=900x900
...City of Duplicated Chaos...a city of Varla’s is the worst type of nightmare...how many times will they have to defeat her and how will they know that she’s been defeated....ughhhhh....(...how do we know, Scarlett...that Trump hasn’t done the same...?...how will we know when he’s actually gone ...dun, dun, dun....

Indeed, while she's not a direct allegory for Trump, she is someone with the same type of mindset

Indeed, she's much more cunning than she has let on so far, she planned to push the people down to the point where they would fight back

Indeed, each Crystalla has a power, such as Brannam's being able to walk the Dreamscape, Tristal can see time and Dex can heal wounds! :D Roisin is back to her old self!

Yep, though, this isn't the end of her story, or the book! There's more to come! :D
It's good to have Lotte back :) also, to note that Hubun's had for so long been oppressed by Humans, now two of them are city leaders :cheer2:

Indeed, Ariel had a very difficult relationship with her, but she was still her mother :bawling:

...the depth of love that a child holds for a parent can be really quite unshakeable...no matter what emotions or cruelty a parent can show...it has such layers/complications, doesn’t it...and when Amanda become vulnerable in her last days, all that would be seen is that vulnerability, almost childlike, itself and everything else would pale and distance..?...

Indeed, while Amanda may have been more distant as Ariel grew, when they were children, Amanda showed her all the love she could
