This Week's Theme: Printhia's Kinds, Cont.; Fae

(*)

Butterfly effect... - This is just screaming Fae at me. :)

From their innate desire to protect their domain, came the Fae.

The Flowering Fields…

They crept into forested and fertile lands, and built their civilizations.

Of the many that arose, four took the lead.

The Olytri civilization started in one of the vast forests and quickly spread, making them one of the most renown, second only to the RioSida.

Male Fae?

The RioSida civilization started as a small war-like group, and through their conquests became the biggest and most renown of all the Fae civilizations.

(*)


The Traphis civilization started in a more tropical location, and are known as fair merchants, great scholars, and superb farmers.

(*)


The Fae kept their mother race's love for music, arts, and laughter, even in their warfare.

This Week's theme: Printhia's Kinds, cont.; Fire Elthian, Dragons

{[]}

.

Born from a desire for strength and power, the Dragons came from the Fire Elthian.

{[]}

The Gorge - Which kingdom/clan would this be for? Southern or Middle I think. . .

They drifted far away into the mountains, where different regions emerged.

{[]}

More like a Southern Dragon, as it has feather like spikes. The only problem would probably be its short snout. . .

The simple and guarded Southern Region.

{[]}

The multiple spikes on the head is a trait most commonly found in the Northern to Dark Dragons.

The hostile and cunning Northern Region.

{[]}


The dangerous and cold Dark Region.

{[]}

.

The dragons took their mother race's love of design, and implemented it into their clan markings.

{[]}

.

Also similar to their mother race, is their special care of and attention to raising children.

Long time. . . Soon to be returned

So College took over my life for a while. . .
Even though I decided to go easier on the credits I'm taking, the classes I chose are. . .
Hard.
Systematic Theology.
Ethics.
Hermeneutics.
MATH.
Don't get me started on math.

BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN FORGETTING THE BLOG.
Or, eh-heh, not intentionally.

I will be back in May! 
I promise!

May is my 'almost done with Semester' month.
Only one week left one May hits. . .

Which brings me to my Summer blogging/writing:

/~/

I have decided to try my hand at writing a short story/novella.

On the Frog Prince story.

Princess and the Frog

I didn't think much of it, and I have failed to start multiple times over the past few years.
Until I just wrote the way I usually verbally tell stories, and this mid-teen boy with a stupidity streak just went kur-plump right onto my page and I'm having so much fun with him!

So my goal with that story is to finish it over the summer, edit it, and hopefully do something with it.

/~/

For Blogging, I want to start writing articles on world building.

World building is my specialty.
I've spent many years of my life just creating story worlds, not necessarily stories.
In fact, it has come to the point where I'm scarred to start building the world for the story because I tend to end up not writing the story, but with a huge world instead that drowns out the story. . .

Enough with the long-ish sentences.

There's much to do.

Stories to live.
Math to conquer.

Keep on Writing!

God Bless
