Chapter One: Wings Of Fate (The Dragon Prophecy, Book 3)

[merlinscribe]

Follow the link below to see the first chapter of the next Dragon Prophecy book. As always, the spoiler-averse should be aware--it may spoil both previous books and the current one.

The chapter is first draft, unedited, and still pretty rough. merlinscribe_library is a read only journal: comments should go here.

I hope you enjoy it. I will be posting more in the coming weeks.

Re: blood

[merlinscribe]

Elvish blood is slightly more purple than human blood, but different enough to make a BIG difference in looks, given that Elves can see a much broader spectrum of colors than Humans can. A human could detect the difference in color when the blood was fresh, but not after it had dried.

I think the scene with the handprints on the altar is the one when Vieliessar does her vigil in the Shrine of the Star. What I'd been going for there was not that Elven blood was silver, but that the handprints made a magical impression on the stone (like the handprints in Neolithic caves, only with magic instead of paint).

I like questions. And since I don't want to jar people out of the story, questions are very helpful.
