I will need a partner in this endeavor." Nym said, smiling. "You'll do." "I would be honored to aid in your endeavor, my lady! Ti's a noble quest indeed. But maybe we should ask people if we have the movies before beginning the hunt for a portal to Middle Earth." Evelyn grinned back at Nym, happy to have someone to talk to. Besides herself or books of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndlerunner Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Quote While it was certainly traumatic for the characters involved, I can pinpoint that event as when James came into his own as a character. It also has some of what I consider to be my best written James scenes. James sighed, and continued looking out at the neighborhood, "Do you think we should head in now Shana?" @Sorana Quote Man, James and Shana's relationship is really interesting. We have someone who's all about growth and cultivation (not the Shard, cuz I don't think we have Shards in this universe), and someone who's got a few more 'destructive' tendencies. They really play off of each other quite well. They're also both really emotional characters, but they express those emotions so dramatically differently. TL;DR: I guess the whole opposites attract thing really does work in relationships. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This is not canon, if you haven’t read the Nightwatcher thread then don’t worry about it) @Lunamor (Yes! Thanks ) Ben was rather surprised, but happy, at the news of the wedding. He was a little worried that Shana had had to set the whole thing up, though. It would have been better if she had been able to rest after having to have such a major healing. Both Evelyn and Nym went upstairs without him being able to talk to them, so he went to the living room and sat in the corner, pulling out a book. He sent Glint to go check on Shana and make sure that she was alright. His spren returned and said that she seemed fine but was talking to James, so he decided to not bother them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it ever seem strange to you? Reading the books, and then thinking: 'that's my life.' Some people would say we're living the dream.

It's something that I used to wish, when I was younger. But it hurts so much. It hurts when everything happens. In books, you can always know that there's going to be a happily ever after. A good ending. "Real life isn't like that. Even when you do have powers, there's no guaranty that everything will be okay," Evelyn continued softly. "You lose people. You're afraid of taking another step forward, because you're walking in the dark, and might be stepping of a cliff." She suddenly shook her head, as though trying to shake the thought away. When Evelyn looked back up at Nym, she was smiling again. "Nah. No way am I letting magical powers ruin fantasy for me. Besides, fantasy books have dragons, and - as far as I know - there aren't any dragons on Earth. They also have giant eagles. And swords. Super cool swords, and magical daggers.

Rob looked around as the party started. The present was completed, and everybody he could see seemed happy doing their own thing. Even Ben, who was just reading a book. Rob was satisfied as well with the completion of his present. And in the end, he thought, wasn’t that all that mattered? That you were happy? Everything else was secondary. Or was that a selfish worldview? That you mattered most. Well, you are supposed to put your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others. How could one hope to help others when they couldn’t help themselves? But time and again that had been proven wrong. Plenty of famous scientists who did great deeds for humanity hadn’t exactly been great at helping themselves with personal issues, yet the world would not have been the same without them. As Rob walked over to Ben, he wondered how many of the famous people in the world had been surgebinders. “Enjoying the book?” He asked, pulling across a beanbag and sitting down. Small-talk had always been his greatest weakness. Edited October 19, 2019 by I think I am here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
