Midori Ookami

Okay, yeah, I changed the title of my NaNoWriMo novel, because "Midori the Green Wolf" sounded way to generic and boooring, like a kid's novel or something...
Also, I'm still working on it a bit, but here's a slightly dramatic version of my novel's basic summary:

An evil fog is engulfing the beautiful land of Nippon, but its origin is unknown…
On one seemingly ordinary day, while his older brother and sister are out training, Midori the green wolf is playing by himself in the Yama Inu forest, when he accidentally bumps into a pack of rival warrior wolves from the Yami Plain, and they seemed to have been specifically looking for him; to destroy him. He narrowly escapes the troop of powerful warriors, but outside of the confines of the forest is just as dangerous; the field is covered in utter darkness! He witnesses the sun itself become rent asunder, before he collapses and loses consciousness. A long time later, a fairy named Taiyou finds him and she manages to awaken him and explains that she’s the messenger of the great sun goddess, Amaterasu, sent to find and rescue Midori himself. She also says that, after she had departed on this quest, something had happened to Amaterasu—something terrible— and the land is in peril because of it. Only Midori can save his homeland from the oncoming chaos, and in order to do so, he must find three parts of a sacred weapon called the Golden Mirror of Takamagahara, found throughout the land, and make it whole before he can smite the evil once and for all. Together, he and Taiyou set off on a long, epic journey to banish the darkness and to obtain the divine powers that they seek, meeting many friends as well as enemies along the way. And Midori, after discovering that his much of pack was annihilated and captured in his absence, also has the resolve to also find his two missing siblings and avenge his family.
But who or what could be the cause of this sudden calamity? Could it be a mere wind and plague, brought with the mysterious warriors? Or is it something far worse than ever imagined…?

Voila. Lemme know if it needs correction anywhere... I do believe I need to edit it to make it sound a leeetle more interesting, though, so keep that in mind. XD
I'm still thinking up a design for my novel's cover image, too, which I still plan on painting.
And... this novel is nearly complete, development-wise!

See you, bro.

LB:LT: Era of the Ancients: 2911 Yrs. Ago

In case you didn't know, the planet Crichianadiie is only about 3000 years old. On October 9th of this year, however, it'll become 3012 years old.
Yeah? I kept track! What of it? Call me obsessed and I'm a-gonna clobber you over the head!
ANYWAY... that's not really important. As of late, in my novel, Lirin has used the Golden Chronicle to go back in time to the Era of the Ancients: 2911 years ago, to be exact.
It was quite stressful. After being attacked by a pack of rambunctious, black, clock-headed, humanoid monsters called Time Wraiths, and then being saved by a furry, human-headed, mythological beast known as Alphie, him and his friends are soon to come upon the underdeveloped Time City, which is soon attacked by the True Lord Shadowfang, the horror of the past in his full glory. Ick.
A prophesy tells that on the night of the red moon, Lyrune Bahonan (Lirin's first ancestor) would rise at last and oppose the Ragebeast (Lord Shadowfang) once and for all.
However, on the morning of that day, Lirin is rude awakened by a nasty, two-toned, red monster with a pentagon for a head, and his name is Pentagore. Totally cheesy, right?
((Originally, you might've seen that I changed it to Hexagore, but then I found that to be just a little too creepy and typical, so I changed it back to Pentagore. Moving on!))
Anyway, this winged horror cackles about how he's "..a-gonna sssssteal your sssssoul!", and then he soon snatches Lilli up and crashes out of the inn room window.
Lirin manages to protect Lilli and save her, but nearly kills himself while doing so, if not for Lilli's powers being awakened at that exact moment. She tells him a shocking secret which pulls them toward a final point of understanding, so it's all good and well.
After the night of the red moon, after Lyrune seals Lord Shadowfang away, peace and beauty is restored back to Evagren, and the actual objective to the party's mission is at hand.
The following day, Lirin has to talk to Lyrune in order to get his sword. After explaining that the sword was needed for the future and that Lyrune's hand would extend far upon aiding him, Lirin, his descendant, he finally exchanges swords (since Lyrune still needs a powerful sword, after all), and the mission is accomplished.
That's pretty much the gist of it, actually. After Takuna assigns Lirin to saving Lukamakari, when Lirin returns to the future, Lord Shadowfang's plan is finally unfolding...
Alas, I'm still trying to figure out what to do next. Urrgh... oh, well. XP

Until next time!
