Rune Iruil

I love Rune... just saying.
I also love Aveir, and Ryke. Sinner's all right, Ralen... nice, but no... anyways, yes, I love Rune...
If you may notice Rune has the same name as Sinner... last name that is. Rune and Sinner are brothers, often mistaken for twins, when Sinner isn't a Sessak, and most of the time closer than twins ever could be. They aren't twins though, Rune's older by... by... well, I honestly don't know. Let's chose a random number between one and five... let's go with... four, four years older than Sinner.
I moved back the date of the poll because I still haven't done half of the names. I'll probably do it again.
Rune, I have to say, is the one who is the most constant character in the entire series. Even the newer part of the  series, he's one of the only ones who is in every single part. In the Elven Wars he's first introduced as a close family friend. Sinner isn't though, because by then Sinner had been sent to the Western World to infiltrate the Sessak Council.
Rune is a diplomat, a general, a medic, and I'm sure many other things. His part in the Elven Wars is he takes up as Ralen's second, leading armies in the fighting and such. In the Wrath of the Sessak he, I guess you could say the second main character. I haven't quite figured that out yet, but he's pretty important.
The main importance of him in part two is he is what people call "the White Sessak", which means he posses all of the Sessak abilities without ever having his Kessak Stone removed. He's still an elf, but he has the abilities which most people use to define Sessak.
Part three he briefly shows up, I might add to his part, but I'm not sure if I will. Part four he accompanies Aveir for the most part. Same with part five. He's a pretty important character, he's there most of the time. In part six I've decided he looks after things back in the Eastern World while Aveir's gone. The only parts he really doesn't have any importance in are three, six and probably most of ten.
I guess I shouldn't say this, but by the time part ten rolls around there are barely, if any, of the original characters. They'll probably all turn up near the end of the book, but by that time they're dead or no longer involved with the story that the series won't even seem like the same anymore. I only say that they're dead so openly because half of the characters are humans and the series covers at least three hundred years, it's sort of to be expected.
Yeah, I've sort of gotten off track, but that's basically Rune Iruil. Man... I didn't really do that very well, did I? Yeah, I'll just move on now. I shouldn't even been on the computer right now.

I Have Not Forgotten!

I haven't forgotten about this, I've just been very busy.
Main news: I've decided to condense the series to make way for new ideas I keep getting. From now on... unless I change my mind again... example: book one will be two parts long, part one the Elven Wars, part two the Wrath of the Sessak.
Basically the parts of books take the title and story line of the original books, and mushes two of them together. This keeps me within my five book count, giving me room to expand, and makes it so I can keep the original stories intact. As well as it will easily increase page count, which is very much needed now.
Half way through what is now book three. That's as far as I've officially planed. I'm making new ideas and am enjoining doing so. I expect the five new "parts" will turn out pretty well, as well as fix my issue with part's one and two not having enough concrete story line behind it.


I haven't recently worked on the series because of school and a short story contest, which I'm running out of time unexpectedly fast on. It's a little story about vampires, zombies and DaLoreans... nothing big. I don't know if I'll finish it in time. From what I accomplished for NaNoWriMo I could, but I don't know if I'd be able to with homework or have enough will power. The story is pure fluff and I don't really have a desire to work on it much more.

Meanwhile, over the break, my dear friend who knows more about the series now than anyone else, gave me a little gift. To the left is a drawing of Aveir Moonslayer, which she entitled, He Has Picked a Flower for His Lovvvve. Sort of. Basically, I asked her to use her new drawing tablet to draw how she envisioned Aveir, and we decided to do it where he was picking a flower for Arabella, who I believe I've said he's married to. I don't remember. It's not in the series at all, so yeah. It's also not exactly how I envisioned him, but the point was to figure out how she thought he looked.
He has more scars on his face, and his hair has a distinct difference between the dark brown and blond. This picture is beyond wonderful, and I won't criticize it further.
Plus I've been think about. I might write music for the series. Mostly piano and/or vocal, but it'd be cool to have a soundtrack to go along with the book. It'd probably only be available online, but still...
I have to create a more extensive map of the Five Worlds... and other things.
I believe one of these days I might just spill the entire series out, just say what happens and forget my secrets... I might do it, but I don't know if I'd be willing to let that all out quite yet.
