The start of two stories

So what am I doing here with this blog?

I want to use this blog to put out to you a few bit of story I have been writing.  All of them are in their first draft or very close to fist draft stage.  Some of it is just concept of stories that still need working out.  I want feed back and comment, suggestions and random idea that may work with what I am writing. 

I have to main stories that I have been working on on and off and to give you a bit of a heads up on them and to help keep them separate I thought I would to a quick summery of both.


Tom Ryder and the Avatar Maze
The first is the story of Tom Ryder and his magical avatar Thorn Brokensword.   Tom Ryder is a Young boy who lives in a land much like our own but for 2 really big differences.  First there is all kind of magic.  Second there is peace, and there has been peace for a long time.  This does not mean there is not strife and disagreement but there has been no wars for many decades. 

Tom is a student in a very honored and well know school of magic where what the student do for fun is make magical construct in the shape of creatures and then battle them against each other.  One of the teachers take it on himself to teach the students magic through there game and also tries to add a new challenge to the student where the creatures to not battle each other but most adventure through a set of mazes and challenges.  This teacher also up the challenge by saying that only an "Avatar made from a mirrored soul shard" can compete. 

The story is then about Tom and his avatar Thorn Brokensword as they struggle both in the challenges of the mazes and the pains of growing up.


Darv'nah: the Wondering Tavern or the Here-be-there Pub 
(I am still working out the names in this one)
The second story I have put more time in to but there is a lot more to it.  The main story line follows three different set of characters.  

The first is Rueben (Rue) and Sara, two children forced to flew their village when it is attacked and destroyed.  as the only two survivors (or so they think) they flea to Sara's relatives in a far off village and along the way discover a ring that is really a doorway in to another world.  The world of Darv'nah, a pocket universe which hold the keys to so many mysteries in there own world.  Their story is of them trying to rebuild there lives and make a place in the worlds for them selves.

The second main story line follows Kiphanis Dorees or Kip as he is know by most he mets.  Kiphanis is from a far off set of islands where the peace is held together by the Peacekeeper core, an ancient police force that hold non-violence as the core of their beings and practice.  Kip is a Peacekeeper Ranger who is sent with his Shadow Wolf companion in search of a "ring of power" that hold the key the Peace or will through the world in to a all consuming war.  Those Kip is searching for Rue and Sara with out knowing it.

The third story line is that of Yana a young girl of the High Order of Sairen, a kind of UN/Red Cross for the great land where most of the story takes place.  Yana is sent as a representative of the Order to broker a peace deal between the warring Elves and Trolls but along the way is thrown in to a web of deceit and a race to stop a creator of darkness before it can find a "well of power" that it can turn the world to ash with.  Yana runs in to Kip and starts our story lines converging as the plot lead us to what is the power behind the door to Darv'nah and what will be the fait of the worlds.

Sound good?

Now all I have to do is write it.  Or at least finish writing it. 

So I will over the next while start to post what I have of these stories here and I seek you feedback and help in turning these stories from scattered thoughts in to a coherent plot and story.

Thanks for all your help and happy reading.
