*slides you a pretty dagger*
hi yes I'd like some info on the newly revived wip please 👀
Thank you so much for asking! This is so sweet! :’) A lot of the things are rather spoilery, so I’ll try my best to be a little vague here and there
magic is a known thing; everyone knows it exists but not everyone thinks it’s a good thing
the protagonist has a twin sister and both showed signs of magic when they were still little; e.g making stones move or dust swirl up
their parents were afraid of them/didn’t know how to handle them and basically sold them to the Eskar Guard, who work for the queen (they were also rather poor people and their mother was pregnant with another child...)
so they were trained and educated by the Eskar Guard, where they learned how to control their magic
both were rather quick learners and because the queen liked them, she took them in to become companions of the princess
as they grew older they became respectable members of the guard
prior to the when the main story starts, one of the sisters disappears/dies when the queen sends them Somewhere. She basically disappears through a shadowy-something that no one knows anything of
more of those holes appear, more people disappear
there’s also a kind of war going on between the Queen and a specific magical race. Because of her, they live scattered throughout the country, never feeling safe. The Queen thinks they are Evil...
or is it the Queen who is Evil?
She also sends the Eskar Guard across countries to find more magical children
I won’t go too much into detail about the magic, but there are different kinds; some are also more powerful than others, but it also depends on your genes
there are Pathfinders (what the twins are); it’s actually what it sounds like. They have a great cartographic memory and can’t get lost. The magic always brings them where they want to be. Some can also track animals rather quickly, or make stones move, bend branches. The protagonist’s sister can even sense water beneath the earth and make it surface. There are also some other neat things
it’s probably the most common magic type
I have the idea for a character who is blind, but because of this magic they can navigate and even fight
there are also Bloodwhisperer, who can be very dangerous... and probably some more types, that I have yet to discover
*note that all names can change again; they are just the first that came to me haha
this got long... but thanks for letting me ramble! 💕
