Hey, guys! Just wanted to leave a quick note that I haven't forgotten about this. I lost the link for a bit, but I'm back now and hope to have a reply for you soon.
Dagon really wasn't given the option of NOT letting go. His grasp on the slender branches was already tentative at best, and the swirl of the water threatened to pull them away from him. Whatever the Water Royals did to dislodge the boat was impressive, but it also removed the barrier protecting...
We can go that route if you would like or I'm fine to just fill you in on the details I've got in my head. Basically, yes, Dagon did inhale some water, but not enough that a round of coughing and maybe a couple good pounds on the back can't clear out. However, if you would still prefer to skip...
In hindsight, the exclamation was probably better left unsaid, as all it earned Dagon was a mouthful of river water. Even so, the prince kept his head enough to know which way was up. He broke the surface of the water an instant later.
Dagon gained a brief glimpse of the boat, now at a...
After watching fireworks tonight, I started thinking what Fire Kingdom holiday/celebration would have more explosions than normal, because I'm pretty sure that would be Dagon's favorite holiday.
Dagon's eyes darted to the bag in question. It was about two arms-lengths away from where the prince sat, which meant to reach it he would have to stand up. And walk it over to Edare. Without tipping over the boat.
"Um, yeah. Sure."
Easing himself out of his seat, Dagon took a couple...
I may or may not have already been picturing the hilarity of Dagon trying to get something that's out of his reach on the other side of the boat (so he has to actually stand up and move). If they hit a rapid and he goes overboard in the process, he may seriously consider walking the rest of the...
Dagon hadn't expected to sleep. If he had his way, they would have left the night before, even if that meant traveling in the dark. However, logic had prevailed over emotions. None of them had slept more than a few hours the night before, and they couldn't very well expect Cain and Amarina to...
There are five of them, so it will need to be something large enough for them all to fit. Or I suppose we could do two boats with one of the Water Sibs in each, but even then, one boat would need to be large enough to carry three. I'm not overly familiar with types of boats (I grew up in a...
If we're only skipping to the next morning, I don't really have anything in mind that I couldn't mention briefly in my next post. Basically, Dagon would give some pushback at having to wait until morning to leave, but logic would prevail without too much of a fight.
If we decide to move them...
And this is why I had the thought of getting a more official map together to keep track of some of these details, but that hasn't happened at this point. 😜 In my head, I envision two main passes: one that would require backtracking into Dark Kingdom territory or at least close to it, which I...
In that moment, chest swelling in appreciation, Dagon silently took back every snide comment he had ever made about the Water Kingdom. Unfortunately, as Amarina was quick to point out, being able to navigate the river was only one piece that must be in place if Ester Pass was truly open to...
It's been a weird couple of weeks, but I'm safe and healthy. The "stay at home" order here hasn't been given an end date yet. Since I work at a camp, we're shut down until at least the end of April; however, since my position is essential to operations I'm still working, if fewer hours than...
So I'm thinking about trying to put together a more official map. I'll probably show you guys the rough draft to make sure I'm on the right track before I fill in details, but if you have anything to add that's not in the notes already, please let me know.
"I'm not asking anyone to come with me," Dagon said, turning. Although his words were addressed to the room in general, his eyes found Nima where she stood beside him. "If your people need you here, then stay. I can't promise things will be any safer in the Fire Kingdom. In fact--" His gaze...
Dagon opened his mouth, but Nima's protest beat his by a nanosecond. Before the debate made it any farther, however, Adfri wisely interrupted. Glaring, the prince turned his dark gaze on the traitor. An orange glow flashed in his hand, but before the spark had barely lived, Dagon closed his...
