Are you getting a mixed message with this one? I did that on purpose.
What is your impression of Aric from reading the map?Please don't read until you've read the map, and thought about my question:
Aric Eaglesword is my mystery character. Neither my readers nor my characters know if he is good or evil until the end. Thus, I tried to give both good and bad-sounding metaphors in each category.
When I get it finished, I will post Aric's true essence.
