a young man falls into the hand of a powerful sorceress |
First things first: After you read my story, could you please add to it? Or tell me what you thought of it? I'd really appreciate it. And now, about the story itself: For years the rival kingdoms of Connalk and Mektlacaugh have fought over the disputed Valley of Thogmond. Both kingdoms have raided each other's villages in the region, capturing cattle, gold and slaves. The Queen of Connalk is winning a string of victories through employing a coven of witches to supplement her army. In one of her army's successful raids, the peasant militiaman Kendall was captured and handed over to the sorceress Ena as a slave. Ena slipped an experimental potion into her new slave's beer mug, shrinking him to the size of an imp. Now the unfortunate Kendall hopes that Ena's colleague Gale will save him before he dies due to one of Ena's twisted games! When adding to the story, don't have Kendall restored to his normal size or killed, at least for eight chapters. Even if Gale saves him, it will take time to find an antidote to Ena's experimental potion! Also if Gale restores Kendall's size, there is still the issue of whether Kendall can be released seeing as he is a captured soldier. Characters Deirdre is both the Queen of the Kingdom of Connalk and one of the kingdom’s tallest women at 6’ tall. Her formal dress is a dark green velvet dress with emeralds embroidered into the fabric. Two emeralds are embroidered into the corner of each of the wrists of her dress, plus an emerald on the each side of the sleeves hanging from her wrist. While these emeralds are small, bigger emeralds are embroidered along the neckline and hem of her dress. She has long black hair and black eyes. Ena is a tall woman, about 5' 7''. Her formal clothes is an orange velvet dress with knots, spirals and intricate key patterns woven into the sleeves hanging from her wrist and along the neckline and hem of her dress with silver threads. She had fire-colored hair and grayish blue eyes. Gale is taller than Ena at about 5’ 9”. Her formal clothes is a red velvet dress with knots, spirals and intricate key patterns woven into the sleeves hanging from her wrist and along the neckline and hem of her dress with gold threads. She had red hair and green eyes. Kendall is a peasant militiaman captured by the raiders of the Army of Connalk. He’ll take risks but only after thinking through on what to do next. He has spent all his time in his home village in the Valley of Thogmond. His parents and most of his relatives from their generation have died from a combination of old age, malnutrition and overwork like many of their fellow peasants. His younger relatives have fled from his home village due to the successes of the Queen of Connalk. He himself is 20 years old and cannot afford a wife, even if he had a lover—which he does not because he is somewhat shy and unassuming. |
