A Deeper Look (King Eldendor)

Firstly, I will tell you the basics of what Eldendor looks like, and later, I will some of my artwork featuring him, as I had originally planned.
Which gives me a spectacular idea! I will draw every character I feature! And I will edit my posts and put the pictures in them. I shall get to work today.
So yes! Eldendor's body build is very powerful. His bones are thick and strong, and he has hard muscles as well, especially in his lower tail, in order to support his huge, spike-liked rectangular tail, which makes a devastating weapon.
His body is similar to that of a Tyrannosaurus-Rex, only he has longer arms, thicker "fingers", bigger feet, and a smaller head. He has horns that protrude from the side of his head to the top of his chin, ranging from big to small. Atop his head are two larger and longer horns, and between those, to a pair of smaller ones, which run down in spaces down his back and to his tail.
Speaking of his tail, it's git rows of spike on top, bottom, and the sides, and the end of it curves up into three spikes.
Very spiky indeed. One might even call him... "The King of Spikes"!
Anyway, his eyes are black  half-circles, which have smaller yellow circles in the middle with a black dot inside of that. When he closes his eyes, these irises just vanish. It's rather creepy to see him sleeping and his pitch-black eyes are just emptiness stretching on and on...
He has humanoid teeth, which he scorns, since naturally he's a carnivore and he would prefer sharper ones. Instead, to show his annoyance, he munches on trees and eats them, only to regurgitate them again. In his introduction to Almanzo Woods, this is what he said:
"ME. I AM JUST A SIMPLE MAN IN A SIMPLE WORLD DOING SIMPLE THINGS. LIKE EATING TREES. HAHAHAHA."

Another thing you should know about Eldendor is that he is far, far bigger than a T-Rex! Thus his voice is booming. He doesn't show a whole lot of emotion when talking (it's all in the face), so normally, instead of yelling something like this:
"Ack!"
It would be more like this:
"ACK."
And when questioning:
"Why?"
It would be more like this:
"WHY."
So that's how Eldendor talks.
Now, you know Eldendor is an exiled king (I think you do, at least, but if not, now you do), and he has been for some time. He travels alongside Almanzo to protect him and to get the throne back, which he actually can't sit on, but no matter; Princess Avalon will.
Eldendor could be considered quite intelligent, but at the same time a blundering idiot. He is very knowledgeable, but he doesn't think before he leaps and does, says and asks some pretty stupid stuff.
Eldendor is also DEATHLY afraid of rats and mice. He cannot move an inch when he sees one, and he's over one hundred time it's size. He doesn't like bugs either, but mice and rats are worse.
Eldendor, as for personality, is rather mixed. Wise and serious one moment, fierce and rampaging the next, and suddenly, he's goofy and cracks lame jokes.
As one of the sacred Guardians that watch over different lands, and also nearly as respectable as an Ancient, Eldendor often triggers a cocked eyebrow or more in his audience. Some of his fellow Guardians are pretty odd, but he's the worst out of all of them.

So! That concludes today's Deeper Look at King Eldendor. Like Almanzo, there might be a part two.

Ta ta!

Merry Belated Christmas!

I hope yours was well, indeed!

A Deeper Look (Almanzo Woods)

I will be posting "Deeper Looks" throughout this novel (E:TRD) now and then.
First, we will take a deeper look at the protagonist of the story, Almanzo Woods. Starting with the basics, he's a sixteen-year-old Fawnui-elf with a big attitude, and tends not to care about anything at all but himself.
About 20,000+ words into the novel, Almanzo says something that explains some of his personality, after an ex-Rutorran prison guard helps him escape, and dies in the process. Eldendor himself, who ends up rescuing Almanzo in the end, asks him why he's doesn't seem to care, and here's what Almanzo says:
"That's just how I work, Eldendor. What's passed is past. I don't lament over things that are already over..."
How unusual. It's sad to say, but plenty of people have past regrets that they can't help but feel at least a little sad about, at least.
But like Almanzo said, it's just how he works.
However, Almanzo isn't always uncaring, rude, and cold. After Maru is captured, Almanzo seeks her, but then he fails to find her since he is outwitted, much to his disgust, and sent over the edge of a tower, and that's where Eldendor saves him.
And now, Almanzo very, very much wants to go rescue her. But he isn't exactly sure why... she never really seemed to show and kind of kindness toward him whatsoever, and yet...
He was quite determined to rescue her.
So, no matter how terrible or just plain rude a person is, there's always some good within them.
Another note!
Almanzo seems powerful and fearless, but he's actually horribly afraid of trains. When he has to steal a train from the Rutorrans and drive it without any kind of experience, it's awful.
But come to think of it, Maru was there beside him, trying to calm him when he became a little panicked, right there to the end where the train nearly crashes into another that's on the wrong side of the tracks, and that's where Almanzo falls into a dead faint.
That's just how afraid of trains he is.

So, that's all on a Deeper Look on Almanzo Woods for now. It wasn't much, but there will be more.
Until next time!

"Oh, it's you, Almanzo? You certainly took your time getting here..."

So says Princess Avalon of Kingdom Eldendor. But who would have thought that would be followed by a gasp and stifled scream! For the last thing she expected was to see a lion standing there with a creepy faerie riding on his back!
Almanzo, previously, in an attempt to go see her when she summons him, has an unfortunate encounter with some giants clad in thick armour and it sent to a putrid prison.
He is shot there, but instead of dying, he switches forms, changing from elf to lion. He's pretty ticked when he wakes up. He meets the so-called "creepy faerie", Maru, who stalls his time with making him gather seemingly pointless items after they escape from the prison (thanks to a stinky pot which they hurled at the guards and sent them all out of consciousness).
Almanzo is challenged by the embodiment of Power himself, sent to the bottom of the ocean without any kind of gear, and forced to steal from a peddler in the town. Quite frankly, he doesn't really care, but he hates being controlled!

Basically, that's what has happened in about 15,000+ words so far. I stopped for today where he just entered Avalon's quarters, and he's going to get his elf form revived again.
Not exactly anything exciting happening lately, but the story picks up.

Ta-ta!

The Basic Summary

That novel I mentioned in my last post is, in fact, called "ELDENDOR: The Rise of Dagria". I'm a little over 4,000 words so far in two days.
So, here's a basic summary. There's this sixteen-year-old shepherd in a village in Eela, which is inside Eldendor. (looks at some of my earliest posts for some details)
When a strange wolf with fire markings steals one of his sheep to lure him to a trap, he meets a great and mighty king, forgotten in the mists of time...
This king goes by the name of Eldendor, the same as the land itself. He informs Almanzo that it was named after him. He also tells him that the Princess wants him at the castle as soon as possible, but doesn't explain why.
There is quite a delay as Almanzo is captured by the minions of an evil man known as Dagria. But in the prison, he's not alone. A strange, dark faerie by the name of Maru is there and she watches everything he does. When the two manage to escape, Maru makes him do everything she tells him to. Almanzo, for one thing, doesn't like to be bossed or told what to do, so there is a lot of disagreements as the two make their way to the castle.
Maru is captured one again, but Almanzo escapes by using the power of a symbol he bore since birth and never thought twice about; The Gardia's Symbol.
He takes the form of a lion and fends them all off. On his own, he makes it to the castle at last, but is certainly not welcome. With lots of sneaking he reaches the princess and she tells him that their replacement king is... a traitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... So, that's that. :D
Well, that was a really simple and slightly dull summary, I admit, but I'm thinking of publishing this one as well so you might find out just how interesting it really it.

As for our next novel...

I'm planning on finishing Bamboran Rain, then after that, starting up another that is a remake of a badly written one. :D
Oh, yes, this new one includes a mighty, kingly beast that is afraid of rats and bugs, an obnoxious, defiant hero, a girl that talks in a monotone, raging dinosaurs and even a lovely princess!
Well, this is going to be an interesting one, so keep your eyes peeled and check back often for updates.
That's all for today. Until next time!
