Link to Epic

 

Hey, y'all! Thanks for taking a look at my first Epic since 2007! (I know, I'm equally shocked).

 

Any comments, criticism, and otherwise thoughts on it will be extremely appreciated! And again, thanks for taking time to read it. Hopefully it's half decent :P

Chapter 2 is out!

 

Again, more of the actual journey, though this hopefully starts setting up the following chapters. And yes, the next chapter should contain some more action!

I caught on to this epic for whatever reason (Maybe it was the blogs. :shrugs:). Anyway, I'm starting to like it. You've got a good character dynamic going with Ajura and Orde and a taste of mystery. 

 

Except that I know that Valmai is a volcano on Voya Nui and Mangaia is Makuta's lair near Mata Nui. The answer to the mystery would feel obvious from that information, but I can't quite put my finger on it just yet. My intuition screams Teridax, but then again it screamed Teridax for the whole of Bionicle. XP Either that, or the information Teridax got from Tren Krom, but that's probably just because the Tren Krom peninsula is involved. 

 

Anyway, looks good, looking forward to more. :)

Thanks! I'm glad to hear the Ajura/Orde thing, since my biggest thing I'm working on is character development and creating real people.

 

And on the two words, even though we know what they refer to, this takes the meaning of the word from their archaic meaning...

 

Hopefully that's a good enough clarification that opens up a bunch of more questions :P

 

Thanks again for reading!

Cool continuation; the mysteries deepen. But Psychometry is a mask power used on objects, not a Psionic power used to sense others' thoughts.

 

Welp, that's what happens when you finish off the chapter at 2 a.m :P

 

Thanks for catching that mistake, it's now fixed!

New chapter is up!

I tried to get this one done because the next few weeks are going to be very busy for me. Nonetheless, I'll do my best to have a new chapter up as soon as possible. Enjoy!

I love how it's turning out! But weren't Kanoka invented long after the Barraki's reign? Perhaps you could change mentions of Kanoka launchers to generic "disk launchers."

 

Thanks for catching that, and for the suggestion! Certainly made the next chapter more coherent.

 

Speaking of, next chapter is up!

I have no idea what those green things could be; this is a really interesting development!

(Just pointing out, I don't think you intended Ajura to thank "Mat Nui."

 

Ah, thanks for catching that! I would blame it on autocorrect, but I'm sure it was my deeply-rooted obsession with tapestries :P

Ok, new chapter is (finally) up (again)!

I'm hoping the lash chapter will indeed be out just by next week! And again, apologies for the lateness, I just got into another creative writing project and ended up devoting the entirety of the past month to it.

 

As before, any and all comments are appreciated!

And so, the last chapter is up.

I hope I finished Ajura and Orde's story up nicely. If you have any comments on the whole series, characters, locations, anything, they are very much welcome! I think I have some ideas on how to return to the Epics forum very soon, and will be glad to have any and all comments to keep improving in telling the stories I love and that I hope you all enjoyed as well!

Wow... Not the ending I expected, but a good one. An easy victory, physically, but not so much morally. But what happens now, and will we learn the answers to some of the many questions brought up here? Will there be a sequel?

Yep, a sequel is in the works! Probably will come out in a few months, but I've already got some ideas on what to do for it. Glad to know the ending went well, I was kinda scared that focusing more on the morality side of it would detract from the overall "victory".
