It is really hard to try to explain my story without writing down tons and tons of stuff! What I already posted 'bout my story sounds a little weak...
All I can say is that it is (meant to be) a sweeping epic of 'Hero's' journey, both physically and spiritually. Oh, and don't forget love...

| Posted By: Magus Jan 08, 2005 - 08:07 am | | I agree. It is very hard to describe a story without going on for a while on it.
| Posted By: BenJaru Jan 08, 2005 - 08:40 am | | Ok... see if this helps any!
(I have not decided my Hero's name yet, I had one that I though would be it, but it turned out that it did not fit very well at all...)
It starts out with 'Hero'(16)at home living with his family, the family relations are pretty good, exept for one main thing; Hero does not want to be a blacksmith like his father, he thinks he would like to be a highwayman/thief like his famous grandfathers. This finaly leads to a crises, and Hero decides to steal a horse from the local stable and flee. Unfortunatly the horse he steals belongs to a fairly inportant man that happens to be passing through town, and he is furious about it, he has the recources to see that this thief gets tracked down and punished. So he sends out his cronies. But fortunatley Hero gets caught by the law first.
The law of the land says that criminals, 18 or younger aren't to be hung for such non injurius crimes, instead they put them into a barracks and turn them into soldiers, the theory being, men that young can be changed into respectable people through the rigorius training enployed. So Hero get turned into a soldier and for two years fights against the neighboring country.
~He was trained as a wizard outside of time when he was 4, but he has not had the linking in-time training. (for you who have seen my other posts about magic)~
So at the time he is in the barracks he does not know he poses magical ability. He is an exelent scout, because he can see, hear, and smell exeptionally well, due to the fact that he is a wizard (even though he dose not know it) so his status at the barracks increases rapidly, and the result of this is that he gains the resentment of many of his fellow soldiers and the good will of his captain.
Finally he is attacked by some of his fellow soldiers after he uncovers a treasonous plot that would have destroyed the border town that they were guarding. He survives the attack (Of course!)
and gets promoted.
About now his country discovers that somone is stiring up trouble between countrys so that they can come in and clean up the peices and rule the world. Hero must now go questing to gather the wizards of The *Good Esembly (*to good of a name to throw around!!) together to cast a spell to try to find out who's behind it all...
All for now, got to go eat!

| Posted By: Aldan Jan 08, 2005 - 10:44 am | | Hey, Jaru, are you stuck on the word Good "Esembly"? Or did you mean "Assembly" as in a group?
hahahaha...i think what he meant was Assembly. But that is just hiding for the real name. Am i right Fairion?
Just in passing, I'm a guy too. Don't seem to be many gals on this site. I'm guessing Queen Ehlana, just because of the "queen" part. But i don't know other than her. *Sigh* Well, I didn't start writing to get the gals anyway. hehe..
Good sounding story...weakest link=why didn't he get the in-time training? If that is satisfactorily explained, then all is well, and you don't need to tell us anyway if you don't want.
Haha...yes magus, I _have_ been talking to ForeverZero quite extensively. It's sorta a classic debate.
| Posted By: Aldan Jan 08, 2005 - 09:33 pm | | She is, Bmat is and there are a few others, but I am a guy, and have been for the last few years... *winks*
haha Aldan...of course
| Posted By: Magus Jan 09, 2005 - 09:32 am | | I am a guy, although just recently a slight break down in communication brought a member of this site to believe that I was a girl. Does that count?
Maybe your "Good Esembly" could be called something like "The Grand Council of Wizardry" or the "High Council of Magic" or even "The Council of Elrond"... that one's already taken. But the other two might work for you.
It certainly sounds rather interesting. I must say that I would like to read it when it's finished. I hope it works ou for you.
| Posted By: Magus Jan 09, 2005 - 11:35 am | | And also *_*Fiery Red*_* and Irishwrestler21. Sorry for leaving you two out.
NO no, you guys are getting the Esembly thing all wrong. He has a good name, he doesn't want to tell us for fear of theft. A prudent idea. Am I right Benjaru?
| Posted By: Magus Jan 09, 2005 - 12:11 pm | | Oh, I was under the impression that he needed a name for it and just planted that one for the time being. But I just looked back and I realize my mistake.
| Posted By: BenJaru Jan 09, 2005 - 04:21 pm | | LOL
Thanks guys! You are right, Aldan, I meant Assembly. And you are also right Caegaraneva, got a name, but it is too good to share.
And Caegaraneva, yup, I have that explained, the reason he did not get the training is because if he doesn't know he is a wizard no one else can either. And so the master is protecting him by not training him until he is old enough to take of himself.
Oh, oops! Forgot to say that he is a 'prophecy child' and the evil villain has his cronies searching for this child, the faction that has him will be far more powerful.

| Posted By: BenJaru Jan 09, 2005 - 05:49 pm | | Ya, I hope it works too Magus With all the support I'm getting, how could it fail? You guys are awesome!

| Posted By: Magus Jan 09, 2005 - 06:31 pm | | I've been stuck on this one little thing for a while, and don't seem to be making any headway at all.
I can't seem to come up with a title for my epic. I'm not having trouble with individual book titles, but an overal title for the series. I think you have the general gist of it from my previous posts.
Does anybody have any ideas for a series title?
| Posted By: BenJaru Jan 09, 2005 - 06:36 pm | | More of the story outline:
Book 2: ???????? Somthing down the lines of 'Guardian's Fury' or somthing
(I plan my stories as one long story, and concentrate more on the story than the number of books. So that is why I haven't come up with the second title yet. I only just deciding where to break up the story into separate books.)
Hero learns that the first wizard he must find lives in the country that they are at war with.
So he forms a small group of trusted friends and sets out to find the old geezer.(5048 to be precise)
After a month of searching he finally finds a trace of the wizard, only to be caught by authority's of the country, who identify them as spys [will edit and finish this]
But it is 10:36 where i live so i gotta go to bed.
Fairion Night all!
| Posted By: Magus Jan 09, 2005 - 06:54 pm | | it's 10:00 right now. Any minute now they'll yell at me to go to bed. But my mom's playin' Snood and my dad's watching a movie. I can stay on for a while longer unnoticed, despite my mom being in this room and my dad in the one next to it.
I think I'm going to change my story and make it about committing suicide. And when I'm done, I'll have convinced myself to do that.
| Posted By: Aldan Jan 09, 2005 - 10:30 pm | | Just don't believe the song title: "Suicide is Painless". It may END pain, but unless you do something that will end it quickly, it WON'T be painless. Oh, and also, it's not painless for those who know and love you...
