The Sun of Brightcrest: Chapter 4

“How much family do you have?!”

Rethik merely shrugged at this. “Dunno. Lost count.”

Liam slapped his hand to his face.

That’s it. I want to go home.” He mumbled.

Rethik choked on his bread. They were eating around Gretel’s table.

“What? Why did you drag me with, then?” He managed to splutter while coughing violently with tears streaming down the sides of his face.

“Maybe you should swallow first.” Liam wryly suggested, and hit him on the back. “And before you get your beard into a twist, I was joking. ‘Course we’re going to continue our journey of enlightment.”

Rethik let loose a satisfied burp. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” he said, jumping up from the table.

“You, as usual.” came the swift reply.

~O~

Liam felt sick.

Why did Rethik do that…

The Sun of Brightcrest: Chapter 3

“Show yourselves!”

Liam ignored the command, and kept his back turned.

They had practically landed right in front of Blayze and his knights! How embarrassing.

“Rethik!” Blayze gasped. “What are you doing here? And who’s –“he broke off.

Gritting his teeth, Liam turned.

Blayze’s jaw dropped, but he quickly closed it again. “What do you think you’re doing? Father will be furious!” Liam set his jaw. “I’m not joining the quest, if that’s what you’re thinking.” He said.

Blayze narrowed his eyes at Rethik. “I can see that. Otherwise you wouldn’t have taken this with.” Blayze replied, jerking his head at Rethik, who was starting to snarl.

This was a classic example of the relationship between Liam’s two friends; they couldn’t stand each other.

“I have a sugg…

The Sun of Brightcrest: Chapter 2

Liam glanced warily around him before knocking on the door.


When no one answered for a long time he gave up on waiting. Either nobody was home or they were fast asleep. It was the middle of the night.


He was walking away when the door suddenly opened, and Liam breathed a sigh of relief. Having anyone else other than Rethik opening the door would have been a disaster, so this was a big risk he had taken. “


It’s the middle of the night, Liam.” The sleepy red-headed man said.


“I know that, Rethik, but this is important.”


Rethik yawned. “I’m sure this can wait.”


“Sorry, but it can’t. I’m leaving Brightcrest.”


What?”


Rethik was now wide-awake. “Why?”


Liam ignored the question.


“Are you coming with or what?”


Rethik shrugged. “Nothing exiting ever happens …

'The Dog and Sausage' trick

You're probably wondering what that is.

I came up with the concept some time ago. It is very important for all stories.

Ask yourself the question, how does one keep a sausage interesting to the dog that is running after it?

It might seem like a stupid question.

The trick with stories is to keep the so-called 'sausage', AKA the story, interesting.

My answer to the question above would be to keep bobbing and weaving, and sometimes let the 'dog', AKA the reader, get close to it before snatching it away again.

This means that you let the reader they've got the answer to something mysterious that is happening, but then it turns out that it wasn't the answer at all. One must keep leading them on until the end, which is when the 'dog' gets the 'sausage…

The Sun of Brightcrest: Chapter 1

My first fanfiction. All reviews/comments are greatly appreciated! :)


Clang.

The knight fell to the ground, winded.

Liam offered his hand. “Better luck next time.” He said as the knight took the outstretched hand and was pulled up. He looked battered, thought Liam, and sheathed his sword. The other knight stumbled over to some benches by the edge of the training and gratefully sank down next to another knight, who grinned.

“You really wear them out, Liam.”

Liam smiled, and walked to the benches, coming to a stop in front of the knight who had spoken.

“Do you want to have a go, Blayze?” he asked teasingly.

Blayze gave a playful snort. “And get beaten up by you? I think I’ll pass.”

Liam’s stomach growled. Unfortunately it was a few hours before lunc…
