Here's the Characters (1 of 6)

Well I promised I would show you guys my characters, and I'd say it's about time to do so! Not if any of you know me I'm CERTAINLY not an artist, in fact my skills max out at the "stick figure" stage. So, to make up for that I have masterful Photoshop skills! I'm sure you'll all notice where I'm getting my inspiration for each of the characters. ;)

Ok here is the first and only one I have at the moment, Alexander will be soon to follow.

Update- 6-24-12

Ok so I've been hearing that there's some confusion with my last post and the one before it. Yes, these are both from the same story, I'm not writing two different ones here. A Taste of The Story is the story plot during "The Breaking of the Pact", you can find that on the timeline. :)
Speaking of The Breaking of the Pact, I'm pleased to say that I now have enough down that I'm actually writing the chapters now! Once I manage to get my eyes unglued from my facebook wall and get it finished, I'll post the first chapter as a teaser :D  

A taste of the story

I'm working on the first and second books at the moment, as they compliment each other. So you guys don't get bored, here's the skeleton I've been working on. Writing will get faster once I finish making this part streamline with my overview plot. Yes, the main character's name is Robert, and no, that's not me. I chose that name a long time ago because I though it was a good werewolf name :)   (btw, he's a brunet)
_________________________________________________________________________________

Part one - Mortal life

Robert wakes in his makeshift sleeping spot in a broken river water pipe that's frozen over. He wakes the two children (boy and girl) that are cuddled next to him under the cloak.

He leads them through small holes in walls and over barricades to evade the Vyreh.

Unfortunately a single Vyreh notices them, and when he closes in Robert lights a bottle of fluid with some flint, and sets the ground aflame.

The Vyreh can't make them out from the heat of the flames (thermal vision), and they escape.

When they gets to a out of the way house, he knocks out a code, and the children are let in. The parent thanks him, and Robert sneaks into an alleyway.

Uncovering his face, Robert walks about like a normal person (explain the feeding times). He goes to check the Growing Houses. When an irritable Vyreh asks him what he's doing there, Robert fakes a story that his family is starving, and wonders if there is anymore left over food. The Vyreh throws him out saying that there never is any extra food. Done with checking where the food shipping roots are and the current status of the crops, Robert leaves.

Robert later makes it to the Resistance hideout (4^th residential district).

(Describe how he's a wandering Resistance member, and is still a newer recruit.)

Lynn finds him and congratulates him when he tells her what he was doing. He simply replies it's the best he can do to help (explain how he is like the adopted child of Lynn, and how he lives with her and her daughter). He gives her the info he found in the growing houses. He goes to the store room to gather another vial of fire oil, nodding his greetings toward Lynn's daughter Valarie on his way in (Explain his relationship with her, and how they almost never talk). Robert then checks the requests that find their way to the Resistance headquarters. Finding none that require rescue or disappearance (his specialties), he relaxes in the den a bit.

Lynn later tells him they are heading home. They leave the building together, Robert, Lynn and Valarie. They slip through a door in a nearby alleyway that's near the district divider wall, pull back a rug and lift up some fake floorboards, and travel underneath the “impassable” wall of stone. Once out, they travel over a few buildings, enter, and then open a trapdoor under another rug, where their quarters are hidden.

Inside, it's a converted wine cellar, with a central room and two beds in the corner that are half concealed by drapes. There's a stove and a pipe with fount, as well as common food products like peas, onions, and salted meat. They burn a coal burner for heat, but it's still a cold area, and has many blankets. Robert sleeps in the small side 'room', while Valarie and Lynn sleep in the other bed. (explain how they met Robert). He thinks about how much he loves his adopted family, before sleeping.

The following morning, The three are woken by the sound of heavy wing beats. Fearing they have been found, or are about to be so, they prepare for for a dash out of the hiding area, and wait for many long minutes. The wing beats grow louder, and the sounds of screaming reach them. Lynn has Valarie stay in the cellar, and she and Robert cautiously leave.

People are running about in a panic. Vyreh are diving out of the sky and killing people on sight. Robert and Lynn engage single Vyreh, burning them with their weapons. They Robert notices that if there are any children running away, the Vyreh grab them and take them away without causing harm. He and Lynn fight until no more Vyreh are in the area. There are mutilated bodies everywhere. Valarie, who dares leave the house, retches at what she had and is now seeing. The Lynn decides that they should go to the hideout to assess the damage better and to learn why this happened.

Near their hideout, they see a young girl (short, brunet) lying “dead” in an opening. Valarie instantly recognizes her as her friend, and runs toward her without thought. (a man cowering in the shadows stutters to the others that it's a trap!) Valarie is relieved to find that her friend is only unconscious. When she turns to tell the others, her heart skips a beat as she sees a huge Vyreh crouched on a rooftop they passed, looking directly at her. It launches toward her just as Lynn and Robert get to her. Lynn is thrown aside like a rag doll, and Robert, who manages to parry a few blows of it's sword, is stabbed directly through the chest, a fatal wound. Valarie screams in disbelief, and it's the last thing that Robert hears as he falls.

*      *      *

Deep within the black fortress of spires that make up Drekam's home, the grand general walks into a black-fog filled room occupied with a dark evil presences, and the chanting of many warlocks. He's holding the bound little Valarie many feet in the air. He tells his lord that the last children have been rounded up and that 'this' child has been confirmed at the daughter of the resistance. Nonchalantly Drekam says he has enough children in storage, kill her as slowly and painfully as possible, he no longer cares about information that she may know. As a scrawny Vyreh comes to take her away, Drekam asks the general to stay for the ritual, who in turn replies that he would never miss it, he's awaited this day for hundreds of years. When Valarie is dragged out she's shaking from the extremely evil presence that room had held. The old Vyreh laughs at her condition, and then tells her that the Pit of Hell is a place Drekam sends his most 'special guests', and that he will love hearing her scream. He throws her in a normal cell for now so that they can set up the pit. Valarie is left to cry in her cell. Suddenly she hears a demonic chanting coming from everywhere and nowhere at once. The shadows in the room gain life of their own, and the sky darkens. The presence of evil is so strong that nausea creeps up in her again, and she wails, her body convulsing.

Part two – New Destinies

Robert jolts awake, and looks wildly around for the others. He finds himself in an unknown area, a lush but dark forest. A voice calls to him, a gentle female voice. It's coming from a large glowing wolf. The wolf woman tells him that she is Mojala, guardian of all nature. She tells him that she likes him, and has a mission for a boy like him. Robert asks what the guardian of nature would want with him, so she tells him that humanity is nature too, and it's in danger. She proceeds to tell him that she wants him to get the people free of Dolorum and Ga-ul. Robert gets upset, he tells her that for one, he's dead, and two, he'd be killed anyways trying to do that. Mojala's manner becomes a bit darker, she tells him that "Robert is dead", and what must rise from his place is a much more powerful warrior, one capable of defying a god, she will aid him in that. She asks him if he is willing so sacrifice his way of life to save not only his family, but all of the humans here. Robert agrees. The wolf leaps at him, landing on top of him and biting at his neck. Robert briefly struggles, and then blacks out.

The basic story (so far)

Plot.

The time of Void.

The time before time, the age of nothingness. This time was vaguely assumed by everyone in the early days, but it is more and more forgotten as the ages pass.

The time of Creation.

A forgotten time lost to the known world, it is age when Yaradan and Valmaak were created, and when the Mortal Realm is crafted by the brother's hands.

Division of the Heavens.

Valmaak's rebellion against Yaradan in his attempt to overthrow him, and his defeat from his brother's sword. Valmaak's essence is scattered to the winds of time in an eternal sleep. This too is lost to time, known only by Yaradan and Valmaak.

Yaradan's reign.

The age that Yaradan ruled the universe alone. During this time he created his nine sons and three daughters, and sent them out into the Mortal World to find their purposes and names, which are as follows: Agius(m), Evelio(m), Baldar(m), Wendelock(m), Novella(f), Mojala(f), Mithros(m), Dolorum(m), Creek (m), Jedo-winn(f), Ga-ul(m), and Morender(m). Yaradan spends this time in peace, letting his children live in his world alongside the mortal race he created.

The 12 children and the Divine Age.

The age if peace between the twelve divine children and the mortal race. During this time span of a few thousand years the Great Beings, as the twelve children were called, were seen as the peaceful gods who walked on the earth, and great prosperity flourished wherever they went. Very little human technology existed during this time, for the magics of the twelve pleased and mystified the young mortal race.

The Division of the Heavens.

After many millennium of walking the world as the gods and saviors of the human race, some of the twelve children came to believe that they were the gods of the universe, and that they belonged on their father's throne as kings. This Greatly contrasted with the beliefs of the six remaining children, who believed that their father rightfully held the throne. A great battle ensued, which greatly scared the mortal race, and ultimately couldn't be won by either side. The six children who betrayed their father became known as Armageddon, for they brought an end to the world as it was, and the six who stood by their father remained known as the Great Beings. After the war the humans were weary and fearful of the twelve, and fled at their sight, so the two factions; Armageddon and the Great Beings, returned to the heavens, each taking their separate paths. Since then, rarely have the twelve walked on the earth, for they risked angering their father for disrupting his people. The one exception to this was the youngest son, Agius, who could freely walk the earth for he was the spirit of justice and law, and kept the mortal race from falling into disarray.

↓Where the story takes place↓

War of the Heavens/Yaradan's Pact/Age of Mortals. Books: Pro-log.

After a thousands of years of wandering earth, Agius begins to wish to be human, so much so that he seals his powers and impersonates a human, determined to discover his humanity. He lives on a small island for a year, and eventually falls in love with a girl, who soon loves him back. He wants to marry her, but is heart-torn that he would have to reveal his true nature to her eventually. Mithros tells the girl who Agius really is, and then tries to kill her, to stop a prophecy. A great battle ensues, and Agius is victorious. The girl runs away from him, but with a little help from Mojala and Baldar, she sees that his emotions and intentions are true, and that he seeks mortality with her.

9 years later, Agius and Candace are happily married, and they have a 8 year old daughter named Sophia. Mithros returns, still seeking to end the prophecy. In a cunning plot, Mithros captures Agius's wife and daughter, but doesn't harm them to avoid adding to Agius's power. To save their lives, Agius trades himself for his family, and he is confined and sealed by Armageddon's combined powers. Candace and Sophia are tricked into returning, and Dolorum tortures them in front of the powerless Agius. After three months of continuous torture, Sophia and Candace and mindless shells, and Agius's immortal body is fading from existence from the overwhelming grief. When Mithros tries to to erase Agius from existence, Agius takes a tear from Sophia, and places every bit of his collected rage and love into it. With the pendant's power, he defeats Mithros, spirits his family away to the safety of Glass Waters, and in an epic battle against the remaining 5 members of Armageddon, vaporizes Dolorum and Ga-ul in a single curse that binds their bodies together and banishes them to another dimension. The other Great Beings join the battle, and the three remaining Armageddon members are defeated. Agius returns from Glass Waters to earth after three months, his family now restored to perfect health. Yaradan was angry that his children caused so much destruction and endangered his people so, and so banished the twelve to their kingdoms in the Immortal Realm.

Before he was sealed away, Agius took Sophia's memories of him away, as well as of the memories of the past events, so that she could grow up a normal girl. Now bound to the Immortal realm, the Great Beings form a contract that isolates the eleven colonies from each other so that Armageddon may never plot against them again. Drekam, the cursed and weak body made from Ga-ul and Dolorum's combined consciences wakes up. A voice from nowhere answers his curses, and says “Follow my will, small child, and I will give you your father's throne”.

The Breaking of the Pact. Books 1 and 2?

Alexander becomes a Guardian Spirit, and his first task takes him to the Realm of Death. He is appalled at how the people are treated, and he tries to go against the laws of his kind and affect the living world, against his mentor's will. He briefly achieves a physical body, and interrupts a large sacrificial ritual, fighting off the ritual masters and giving hope to the people before his strength fades and he returns to spirit form. He is imprisoned for his rebellious and destructive act, and stripped of his rank, he's now a Rogue Angel. However he is set free when a large disturbance is sensed from the Real of Misery, and he is sent there on a unpopular whim of Evelio.

During the following 100 years (5 earth years) after the Banishment of the Deities , Drekam stores the blood of innocent children in an alter. Upon reaching thousands upon thousands of blood sacrifices, Drekam orders a massive killing of adult residence, and then destroys the curse seal that binds the souls to his land. The the massive increase of souls that reaches the Realm of Life alerts the Angels, and many squads of Spirit Guides, including Alexander and Bolevo, are sent to the Realm of Misery to investigate. Amidst Robert and the Resistance's struggles, Alexander uses his new found power to challange Drekam, and in a tough but curious battle, Alexander strikes down Drekam and unwittingly breaks the curse that binds Ga-ul and Dolorum into one body. Ga-ul emerges and forces the Angels to leave his land, then has the Vyreh gather every child in the land and imprison them in his castle for future use. Ga-ul seals himself in with the Blood Shrine to complete his true goal. During this time, Robert of the Resistance is chosen by Mojala to be her Champion. Using his new powers and a fake identity, Robert helps the Resistance gain many victories against Ga-ul's forces. In a moment where Valerie is heavily wounded and in pain, a mysterious figure wanders past. He speaks of a unforgivable sin, and then heals Valerie. He then vanishes. (will return in War of the United Colonies).

After many Skirmishes have taken place and the Resistance starts to gain ground in the city, Ga-ul finishes the Blood Defilement Ritual. The Contract of Solitude and the Contract of Overseers are defiled and broken, and because the innocent blood of Yaradan's children is used, the barrier that separates the Immortal and Mortal realms is defiled as well, forcing the different dimensions to touch again, and bringing their time speeds back to equality. Evelio and his angels are free to return again, and they attack the Realm of Misery in an attempt to rescue the humans trapped there. Evelio and Ga-ul engage in battle, as well as the angels and Vyreh. Due to his nature, and to Ga-ul's abuse of life, Evelio wins. However Ga-ul escapes, and retreats to the Dark Stone Lair. There he teleports it and himself away to an unknown location. Without the Dark Stone's protective presences, the raging Cosmic Storms began to envelop the realm. Evelio, his angels, and the resistance gather everyone and help them escape to the gateway to the Realm of Life. The storm lays waste to the Realm of Misery, and it drifts away into the chaos of the Cosmic Storms.

Legacy - Entry #1 - The first legend.

Legend of the Deity.

In the beginning, there were three divine beings that ruled over the universe. They were alone, and without purpose, for the universe was a blank empty place. They desired to create something, but they could not begin to think what to fill the great void with. In agreement, they decided instead to create two beings; one to make imperfect creations, and one to search for the perfect creation. These two brothers were to work together to create a world that would fill the empty void.

However... This unity was not a stable one. Volmaak grew more frustrated with his brother, Yaradan, for making creations that he himself saw as incomplete and poorly made. Despising his lot as the second son, Volmaak struck out against his brother in an attempt to destroy him, but he was brought down by Yaradan's sword, and sealed away in a deep slumber, his essence scattered in the winds of time.

Legacy - Note to reader.
