As known, two of my WIPS are currently stuck on the development and brainstorming stage. However, when it comes to my expansive world idea, it is amazing how far it has come since the idea first started. So, where is it current at now?
The Mountainous Island
Upper Part of the Island
This part is divided into two parallel mountain ranges. One side is rocky and the other snowy. The crazy thing is you would expect those to be the largest mountain ranges, but that is actually not the case
The Abyss
True, I don’t know where it is located, but it is a recently added part of the island. True, there are a couple of abysses, but this one is really “The Abyss”. It has always been warned not to go to this one. It is a very very very dangerous place too. It has pieces of “shards of glass” in areas. It even has been believed that this where my villain resides
The Treasure Tree
Well, yes this is a part of the world. However, it is pretty hard to find. True, many have attempted to find it, but failed. You can’t find it alone. However, it has been said that the one with the true power to find it is meant to the protector of the entire island. The only way to really find it is work as a team- meaning you can’t find it alone
The Largest Mountain Range
Crazily enough, this is located in the center of the island. It even has a cave in it, where a dragon lives. Next door to those mountains is The Enchanted Forest
The Enchanted Forest
Well, this is a pretty important part of the entire story. At the edge of this forest is the cottage where my protagonist, Ayra, lives. Willow, a healer Fairy Frog, lives in The Enchanted Forest. Hold on——–did I just say Fairy Frog?? It’s true, Ayra’s Island is where the origins of The Fairy Frogs are. In total, I am aware of three species, but in this particular island two live (originals- basic Fairy skills; and healers)
The Characters
Ayra
She is my protagonist, who is good with a bow and arrow. She is said to be a kind of warrior despite never being in battle. She raised a dragon- good thing her cottage is near that cave. She is close to three characters in the story- Willow, Tenisha, and Maverick. She is a teenager- she already has the ability to protect The Enchanted Forest (at the moment, she got some help with Willow). It is hard for her to talk to humans, but for some reason doesn’t mind Maverick
Maverick
He is my second human character; just like Ayra, another teenager . Those two are only best friends. He is known to be a risk-taker. He wants to ride on Tenisha alone, but that dragon only trusts Ayra. He even wants to go to The Abyss——-Willow and Ayra don’t understand why. For some reason, he is convinced they might have to go through or into to find this treasure tree
Willow
She is my healer Fairy Frog. She knows the most information about The Treasure Tree. It does help when you are a Fairy Frog. Communicating with BOTH Maverick and Ayra is challenging. Willow spends a lot of time with Ayra. The healer Fairy Frogs go in and out The Enchanted Forest a lot——to help heal plants and humans
Tenisha
She is the dragon Ayra raised. How often do you come across good dragons in books????? That is one of the reasons I added Tenisha—-I even added another different thing. Even this is also rare- good dragons raised by a female. Tenisha only trusts Ayra because she was the only human she was around. Ayra built a saddle that has a slot for her bow and arrow- Tenisha also got used to Ayra’s saddle. If someone else tried to ride her with a new saddle or no saddle, she could easily knock them off
*What I do know is that these four characters will be creating a team*
Villian
True, I still don’t have a name. However, at least I got a little further here. I know an object this character has. This character has a black staff with terrifying objects- such as skulls, crossbones, bats, etc………., and that staff has a light that lights up to frighten people/animals even more
The Plot
This is where I am stumped at- what is the plot????? As far as I know, Ayra is facing this villain. It might help if I know when it takes place- as prior to “Tale of the Cattail Forest” or after. I know that Ayra knows something relating to this legend, but how much does she know?? Is it truly the origin story of The Fairy Frogs, in particular the Artist ones? Or Ayra’s journey to find this Treasure Tree?
