I forget exactly how the meme's line-up went, but Every Friend Group Has: a himbo, a mean bisexual, an even meaner lesbian, he/theys, she/theys, a token straight who's on thin ice, an astrology bitch with everyone's birth chart memorized, AND A SHORT KING!
(I've wanted to do this for YEARS with my Wolfen's Rage crew, and now it has Finally Happened!!) >:3
Some books are so good that you want to throw them across the room when you finish them, some books are so good they make you cry when you finish them, and some books are so good that when you finish them, it's with a happy sigh and a feeling of "Aww, it's over already?" The most recent book I finished is the latter.
I have just found out how I can practice embroidery in a fun and challenging way! (Practice as if I have ever actually actively done it...)
Because I have wanted to create something worthy for both batmanisagatewaydrug’s space dragons and for triscribe’s Wolfen’s Rage for a loooong time, but it just... didn’t work out how I wanted to. But now I can make a sketch and embroid it instead of drawing it! Huge projects! I know! But if I finish any of it I am gonna be so proud!! So I will give it a shot this year!!!!
Heeeere we go! New blog *solely* for my Stories from Sarant posts and the fanart my beautiful friends make for Wolfen’s Rage. x)
A little about my books: the Turning Point Trilogy is a high fantasy adventure, focused on a cast of lovable dorks that start off working together to solve a mystery and wind up on a journey to save the world. As the stakes get higher, more secrets come to light, and everyone struggles to stay true to themselves.
Unfortunately, I’m still working on getting published, but when I do this will be the second place I let the news be known (first will be calling my mom and screeching at her for a while)! And after the Turning Point will come the sequel Elemental Invasion Trilogy, and the prequel trilogy Magicborn, and some standalone novels with such titles as Land of Jungles and Realm of Ice.
I plan to fill this blog with art, quotes, snippets, updates, and anything else Sarant related that I get a kick out of sharing - hope you all enjoy!
Making bookmarks to sell with my novel Wolfen's Rage at a Local Authors event at my library in a couple of weeks!
Each chapter is headed by a relevant quote and the symbol attached to whichever character holds the main point of view, and I use those again here, but with extra quotes that will pop up throughout the trilogy. A few favorite examples:
"Monsters are made, not born. Each of us has the potential to become one, no matter race or upbringing." -Wol, the Wolfen Primari
"You're a fool following a bigger fool, but that sadly is no true crime." -Lillia Crant
"I do consider spite to be a key portion of any healthy diet - how else do you think I've lived this long?" -The One Who Dwells in Past and Present
"Power is power. Whether you control it or it controls you is the difference between strength and weakness." -Dragon Queen Talasta
"There are certain levels of decency I expect from the people I travel with: not stabbing me for fun. Not killing me for fun. And most importantly, NOT FILLING ALL MY POCKETS WITH DEAD FISH, FOR FUN!" -Mentras den Tastaine
Picked up a new sketchbook last week, with tan instead of white pages. Figure I'm gonna fill it up with Sarant stuff, both for my book Wolfen's Rage and the Wolfen & Warlocks game I'm making.
"There are three facts I try to live by: it's not naive to remember that dawn will always break the night, it's not cynical to assume there's always another storm on the horizon, and it is beyond stupid to antagonize a wolfen of any size." -Lillia Crant
And some Lore below, if anyone's interested:
In the earliest inkling of a moment, there existed darkness, and light, and little else besides specks drifting between.
Then-
Three sets of hands reached out, to collect those specks, to shape and weave and ignite them, into something more. Something alive.
Those hands belonged to the Forgotten Ones, known by no other names besides these: the One Who Saw, the One Who Sang, and the One Who Spoke. They possessed no purpose beyond crafting new worlds, as they traveled from one edge of the cosmos to another and back again.
The Forgotten Ones collected their materials, and set about creating a series of realms, each balanced against another. One for life, and one for death. One each for fire, and water; for earth and air; for light and shadow. And last of all, two miniature realms, filled with leftover power that would shield this new world from prying eyes, and alert the Forgotten Ones should anything Else attempt to meddle with their endeavors.
Only one task remained after that...
This new world required Guardians. And so, drawing from the power of those final two realms, the golden and the azure moons, the Forgotten Ones breathed life into a pair of great wolves: Wol and Calu.
The One Who Saw showed these two the scope of their home. The One Who Sang taught them the skills of creation. And the One Who Spoke assigned to them their task: to protect, to guide, and to nurture all who would come after.
Young and full of magic, the wolves accepted their charge, swearing to uphold the balance between realms for all their lifetime. Satisfied, the Forgotten Ones bid them farewell, and left.
