The Sibling

The faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion.

I mean... I was playing draw battle with some friends. Can you guess which one is me?

Okay, so I'll be moving the chapter I just posted later into the story, so here's the real chapter five.

Thanks! Here's a drawing I did of Lightsong playing Tarachin.

No yeah... that makes sense! I think that i'll put a flashback in between so you know Gair and the fight makes more sense. I have another thing that I could put in between too that would maybe make it fit a bit better. Thanks for the feedback!

Okay, so this actually made my day. Sometimes I'm pretty nervous sharing writing with anyone but my siblings, but the shard is so supportive and everyone's so nice! Thanks for taking the time to read my story. And here we go. Chapter five, Tredron of the Lavender family! I wrote this one pretty fast, although I'm not sure that I'm completely happy with the start.

Here's a thing I made. the writing is from Arcanum Unbounded and the drawings are aons, planets, and Elantris. Also, there's some stamps from the Sel box.

Well luckily I have tons of relationship experience. (Definitely not lying, what are you talking about?). At least I know what it feels like to be part of the lgbtq+ community. I hope I don't mess this up but it might take a couple of tries. Thanks! Didn't really realize how old Torridan was until I wrote the flashback and I was like, wait, that happened 31 years ago! Here's the next chapter. I started to write the chapter about a new character called Kavika, but their story wasn't really that interesting and it just wasn't working for me. So I gave up, because why would I add a bunch of boring chapters about a character that barely mattered to the plot. This one is from Tavien's perspective. After I got rid of Kavika, the ideas were flowing really quickly and I wrote this chapter in a day, while Kavika's took me like a week to write a half chapter. I wrote this one while listening to the SiSG soundtrack, which is awesome and had the exact right vibes for fantasy writing. Anyways, here it is! I just realized that I've been italicising a bunch of stuff to show that it's the characters thinking or to emphasize it, but the italics disappear when I copy it into the shard, so that's weird. I might be taking a break from this story to write a short sci-fi murder mystery type thing because I have a bunch of ideas for it, but I might just keep writing this. We'll see how tomorrow goes. Edit : I forgot to mention that I started doing epigraphs and I'm going to add them to the first couple chapters. To sum up what they would say : Valka is the power of creation and everyone has bit in their soul that heals them, but some people have extra.

Huh. Wonder if we'll see others. I'm interested to find out how the corrupted spren work for other orders. Thanks!

Yeah I know this. I guess that I sort of assume due to the similar nature of the titles and the fact that Sja-anat sent Tumi that the titles had similar origins, but it is definitely a good point. We don't know that Sja-anat came up with that title, it might just be what Tumi calls Rlain. I didn't actually check the text, I just noticed it in the coppermind. I hope that Renarin's name is foreshadowing something else or means something else. Also I would be happy if Renarin's name really was just gibberish and made no sense because that would be fine too. I totally hope that he gets a better title later. and if it does have a deeper meaning, that would be great. On of the reasons I was hesitant to post about this was because I figured that the title just meant something more than what I had interpreted it as. So I hope this is true. Fair enough. I don't think that there are any moments in Renarin's life that really jump out at me as so important that his title should be based around them, but I think that there's enough in his life to work with. He comforted Dalinar and supported his brother, fought the thunderclast with Hrdalm and found the drawers full of gemstones in Urithiru. He bonded a corrupted spren (was he the first to do that? I can't remember) and he healed lots of people. Maybe none of these are super spectacular title worthy events, but I think that they make more sense to me then just calling him son of thorns. Although at this point, this is really just an opinion. I don't like his title and I think it should be based off of one of his accomplishments, but if someone argued that they thought Dalinar was an important pat of his life and deserves to be in his title, I would pretty much just have to agree to disagree. Also, like, he can see the future? That's pretty cool. Seer of the future is a dumb name but maybe something like that?

So, I just wanted to make a small complaint about something in RoW. I kind of hate that the title that Renarin is given by Sja-anat is "Son of Thorns". I dislike this because it's clearly referring to the fact that Renarin's father is Dalinar, the Blackthorn (unless I missed something) and I feel that it's silly to give Renarin a title that says nothing about him as a person and only talks about who his father his. Renarin is such a great and rich character but he's always being overshadowed by his family members, specifically Adolin and Dalinar. Sadeas calls him useless, Kaladin calls him clumsy, Shallan thought he was weird and was super mean that one time (Gag him if you have to), and Dalinar is pretty terrible father during his early life. Renarin has faced so much, and he deserves for people to see him as who he is and not just in relation to Dalinar. Even when he joins that meeting with scholars (if I'm remembering correctly) everyone thinks it's weird and feminine until Dalinar shows up, because it's weird if Renarin does it, but if the Blackthorn's there than it can't be feminine. So when I saw that his title from Sja-anat was Son of Thorns, I was a little disappointed. Why does Kaladin get Stormblessed but all Renarin gets is "Son of this pretty cool guy who's strong and important". One explanation would be that the titles given by Sja-anat/corrupted spren are just based on who your parents were/your heritage. But that doesn't really work because Tumi (Rlain's spren) calls Rlain "The Bridger of Minds". So Rlain gets a name that really says something about who he is, but Renarin doesn't? Anyways, just wanted to see what people thought about this. Maybe it's no big deal and I'm blowing it out of proportion, so feel free to tell me that or contradict/correct anything that I just said. Edit : Also, I just looked in The Coppermind and it says that Renarin's name was misinterpreted by Dalinar and Evi probably meant it to mean "Re, born unto Dalinar". So even his own name is all about Dalinar.

Way of kings is so good! Welcome to the shard and I 100% agree with your favorite book choices.

I've never read it but I know that @The stormfather is obsessed and would absolutely recommend it. And I definitely trust their taste in books as they are a fellow fan of the Cosmere and Legend of Drizzt. (Even though I gave up on Legend of Drizzt it's still good.)

Izett stops in the air, turning into a human with hummingbird wings hovering (or stationary flying) in front of the demon. "Hi" he shouts.

Totally! I love reading this and it would be so funny to have everyone doing it at the same time. It would totally like, flood the stormlight forums though. Yikes! honestly I feel that this didn't get enough attention yet.

I'm a ghostblood! Yay!. Oh wait, I hate the ghostbloods. Storms.

I literally did this today and it was awesome. Well mostly I watched my brothers play video games while I worked on my story, So I guess mine is that I like spending a day writing and feeling like I accomplished something and relaxed at the same time.

More art! I went to a pottery painting place and I painted this mug which I call "The Bondsmith Mug"

Yeah there are a few lgbtq relationships in this one. Which guy did you mean, Tredron or Torridan? (Or someone else?) I love that! Here's the next chapter. It's a bit shorter. It's a Torridan flashback.

Ahhhhh! Why is this at the top of forum games again! Storm it!

At home in this nation we've made.
