To see my story, Reign of Darkness, simply click the button below.
Now...to tell you the background.
It actually started off as a song, Battle of Resputoar, which you can find in the Music tab. The song was based off of a completely different story that I wrote, which took place in a kingdom, in medieval times.
Then, I got an assignment for school that was called "Fantasy World." We were supposed to create our own fictional world or realm for a grade. Now, since this is in here, you can probably infer that it was the Realm of Despermaine, like in my book, the Reign of Darkness. I came up with a character named Noah Dentroas, who tags along with his "only remaining friend," John West, their enemies being the Resputoarians. I wrote a little description of each very basic character for my project, and I noticed that we were also supposed to write a story of one conflict that happened between the antagonists and the protagonists.
So then I started writing a simple story called Operation: Survive (back then, it wasn't a series; it was the title of that one book). The other people's stories were only one or two paragraphs long. Mine? No. It was the first three pages of the book you hopefully read when you clicked the little button at the top of this blog.
It was still a simple version, though. It was nothing like the three pages I have there now. The plot was the same, but the rest was very, very different. First of all, the "audience" that I targeted was not the tweens themselves; it was my English Language Arts teacher. So the vocabulary was much more precocious, if you know what I mean. I used words like "requisite" instead of "required," or "desiderata" instead of "true happy place in the mind."
After the project was over, (I got 100%, mind you) I thought, why stop there? So I went up to my laptop and started typing. It just kept going from there, until it became the book you may have downloaded.
