Doesn't matter to anyone other than us.

 

So yeah. For us. Aetas Praesidium.

So, Surel is our subject, as far as I know. Let's move discussion here guys. First, a name. I suggest "Follow the Wolves." A bit cliche, but personally I think it's perfect.

You can go ahead and write your chapter, BC. It's not like you describe the treasure.

 

Anyways, anything spherically shaped would be stereotypical but fitting.

 

Also, I've been planning to have friendship be a big part of the artifact, along with sacrifice and love.

I agree that the story ending in a moral would be extremely cliche'd. To tell you the truth, I don't know exactly what I want it to be. It being material or immaterial doesn't matter, but I think it might as well be material, in my opinion. But it won't be spherical... Well, here's all my ideas (I'll put an X next to my favorites):

 

Details:

One of three treasures- X

The only treasure

Conscious

Not conscious- X

Energized protodermis

 

Look:

Shield- x

Gauntlet- x

Sphere

Immaterial

Mask

Staff

Shapeshifting object depending on who touches it (or something like that)- x

Creature (goes with "conscious")

Armor

 

Powers:

Reversal (whatever that means)

Reviving dead beings

GOD powers

Can kill anybody the user wishes to be dead (justifies the security)- x

Doesn't have a power of its own (only works with the one of 3 option)

Has its own power, but also grants another, greater one with the other 2 (3 treasures)- X

Grants you every elemental power in existence

Turns you into an element lord of an element of your choice

Grants a wish (or several)

Grants unlimited knowledge/answers any question/one question- x

The ability to create life- x

Something else... I dunno

 

And Chronicler, why the long wait?

I have some AP classes and am being murdered slowly and painfully by homework...I'm going to finish the chapter today.

You know what I want. A single treasure. Immaterial is meh, I think having more after the first treasure would ruin it, EP would be cliche, and from what I think you mean conscious would be better. A gauntlet, maybe of an extraordinarily simple design for its immense power, would be best IMO. Reversal can undo anything that has been done, and I'd put a limit of maybe five things on it. I've already stated my opinion on the one-of-three thing, reviving dead without a reason other than "lol tis cna brung u bak too lief!!1!!!!!!1!!" is meh, God powers are far too cliche, simply killing a person is meh, wishes would be included with reversal, knowledge would be pointless and against this thing since they already had to use knowledge, creating life is meh.

 

Thus, a gauntlet, simple in appearance, with the power to reverse five things, the user would be conscious (well, I'd throw in a bit of a twist but they'd be conscious).

Next chapter's up! Surel and Kirbold face all the old enemies! Also, as a way to stir up an interesting plot change, the wolves have dissapeared and the fish woman told the friends not to accept the treasure, but they did...

Alright, the next chapter is already up! I haven't revealed what the treasure is as of the end of the chapter, so ToD can put what he wants it to be, as he appears to have figured it out already.

Thanks, Kehuri. :D

 

Lemme read 'em, then I'll write the final chapter. Xander can write an Epilogue if he wants.

 

The final? From what I've read, I think this story could go on a bit longer...but w/e. Also, as a note, I think maybe the guardians should be trapped in the caverns by the guy they meet who gives them the bracelet (forgot his name)...once again, w/e.

I just think continuing would ruin it. Plus I'd be really unwilling to continue. It'd get stale.

 

Also, what?

I think Minar should be trapping the guardians in the caverns.

 

Also, I didn't mean much longer, but definitly long enough for Xander to end it.

...Fighting a mountain, huh? Sounds fun. I'll get them to Imperiosus, do something there, then Xander can end it. Or if he wants me to end it. I really don't mind either way.

 

'K, I'm just gonna finish it. It doesn't seem Xander would be able to at this point.

I do have ideas for an epilogue, if that's anything.

 

Well, gentlemen, I just have to say it's been a privilege and an honor working with all of you. And no matter the outcome, I'm happy and proud of the work we've done together. I couldn't have asked for a better team.

 

Thank you. :)

I have enjoyed working with you guys, and even with how many arguments we've had it seems we were able to agree more than any of the other teams.

 

*points at all the others, with half of what we have*

 

So, well done gentlemen.

 

Though I wrote a really suckish final chapter. DX

Link to comment

Man, I'm going to miss working with you guys.

 

As ToD said, we've had our share of arguments, but in the end we got along better than the other teams, and got 2x as many views and 2x as many chapters.

 

Also, ToD, I like your ending, it's not perfect, but it's not nearly as bad as you think it is.

 

Regardless of whether we win or not, I'm glad I was here to work with everybody.

The ending makes sense. That's all that matters. Good job.

 

I don't think I'll do the epilogue after that. It might ruin things. Nor do I have the time to do it either. I don't know. We'll see.

 

Good work team, all around. Maybe we could do this again sometime. I'm just happy we didn't over plan anything.

 

Again, a big thank you to all of you. :happydance:

Yep, we were loose, and therefore were able to work together best.

 

Also, I left it like that for a small epilogue of Kirbold and Imperiosus thinking about stuff and remembering Surel and also showing Kirbold becoming the leader of the pack.

Link to comment

An interesting and heartwarming ending! I'm afraid that the chapter could have used a lot of work. Why the rushed job?

 

Hm... Surel's death was touching, but unnecessary... I don't really see why he had to die. He could have undid the creation of the gauntlet... but then the ending wouldn't have been as touching, I guess.

 

Also, about the epilogue, I think a monologue from just Imperiosus would be nice, kinda like Kallen's monologue at the end of Code Geass. He could be flying over Spherus Magna, seeing the Agori live in peace, and spot a tiny Kirbold leading Surel's pack, maybe aided by Gelu (I think I read that he and Surel were friends).

 

And why the long masks, guys? This story may be over, but it's not like this is goodbye forever! Maybe we could be in another project together. Anyone helping with Bionicle Year 1?

 

What else? Well, I'm writing another epic, so if any of you wanna read it, you can read it here.

 

Anyone have anything else to add?

 

 

P.S. ToD, you're a non-denominational Christian? Me too! I just read the thing on the right...

Link to comment

I'm just too busy to do anything other than contests and RPGs on BZP. DX

 

Anyways, anything would be okay (well, within reason) for the epilogue.

 

Anyways, yeah. I am.

Link to comment

Oh, one more thing. Anyone up for changing the name to something more fitting now?

 

Edit: Oh wow, is the deadline already so soon? Nevermind then, I guess.
