My name is David, but you can call me Tears, or Wynd. I live in MT and have finished one book so far in my series Legends of Araeth. It is currently 52,000 words long, and still needs a lot of work. ;) My world is called Tira, and I shall be posting a lot about it for review. I'd really like to know what everyone thinks of my ideas. ^_^

Well, that was easy! We didn't even have to ask you to post about your story - you're already planning on it! Splendid! Post and people will comment. :D

Now that that's out of the way, WELCOME David! Have a cupcake! Make yourself at home, and let me know if you can't find the right subforum to stick your threads in. We're glad to have you and your story!

Hello, David! Welcome to Holy Worlds. I can't wait to hear more about your world!

OH! Hi, Wynd! Awesome name. :) I tend to be adycted to exchanging i's for y's miself. :D

lol! I hope you have lots of fun here. Looking forward to reading your story. :) Just curious. It's quite close to the required word count for Nanowrimo. Was it originally a Nano novel?

Wow! I am impressed! You just came right on in here and said "This is me, this is what I do, where do I post?" I like that attitude. :D Keep it up!

So, what is your series about?

The one I've completed is the first in a series of four which deals with Justice and World-View. In the first book, titled Fifth Ascension, the main character, Devon,(who is an Arathian) is forced by an unidentified influence to release an ancient race of creatures known as the Zechtechka. They were originally created as a means to destroy Araeth, and it is their only purpose. To be brief, they spread across his homeland, the Eastord Region, and the Grey Region, of Araeth. In the last few chapters of the book, the capital city of his region is attacked and he is one of the defenders. During the battle it is revealed that the previous generation had also fought the Zechtechka, something kept secret from the younger. Devon's mentor is killed by the Hive Lord, Shezon. This triggers the full awakening of a second being which resides inside Devon, that being is Karruk'ai, the last of the Ashal Guardians. With the help of this being Devon defeats Shezon, however, he escapes, vowing to finish the vendetta he held against Devon's deceased parents by killing him. The book closes with Devon setting off toward the capital city of Araeth itself, in order to warn them of the impending danger, and also to find a way to stop them once and for all.


I know this isn't a very good description, but I tried to keep it short, as such it is tremendously simplified and I actually left a lot out... But I don't want to bore you... ;)

Hello, Wynd!

I'm a bit of a newbie myself, but since I arrived here first, I suppose that I can do this. ;)

WELCOME TO HW!!!! *shoots off fireworks to announce Wynd's arrival* :D

Your story sounds very interesting. Let me know if you post it, please, so I can read it all. :)

*brings in greeting walruses to sing along*
Welcome tearsweshaveshed!
I welcome you from toe to head!
May your enemies be scattered,
May they be dying, or dead!

*sends walruses to make their signature walrus flombe*

As the song states: how you doing! I'm Namor or Svensteel, whichever you prefer! If you'll be needing anything I'll be at your service immediately! Just ring the bell and my little walrus pups will be right there with whatever you need!

*waits*
*clears throat*
Excuse me for a moment...
*leaves the room and yells down the hall*
(faded voice) Balin, get down here with that flombe, our guests are waiting! Careful with that, Gloin, you'll drop it!

*comes back in room*
Sorry about that; the walruses can't seem to do anything themselves.
*walruses come back with their signature walrus flombe*
Oh goodie!!!!!! Dig in everyone!
You get the first piece David!
*walrus comes up behind Namor and mumbles in walrus language*
No, you can't have any Thorin! Go eat your fish!
*walrus leaves sadly*
:roll: walruses...

Greetings and welcome, Tears! {ooh, nice spooky name! I like it! :D } I know I can't possibly compare to Namor's brilliant poetry. So I won't try to.

...BUT, I can serve you a feast of freshly-baked confectionary delights! *serves up platters of gigantic pie in every flavor, ice cream, hot cocoa, muffins, cookies, cookie dough {all safe to eat}, rock candy, jelly beans, and every delight you can think of!* So dig in, please! *sprinkles glitter over everything*

Oh, and you can call me Even, Estar, Dawn, Evenstar {if you're feeling strangely formal} - just not late for dinner, if you please! :rofl:

Hello and welcome! :D

Your signature is on the long side, but I don't know if it's too long or not. It hasn't bothered me yet, anyway. ;)

_________________
You have blue skin with orange polka dots. Four eyes, one red, one yellow, one green, and one blue. You have four arms, two are furry and two are scaly. One ear is a floppy dog's ear and the other is a pointy dog's ear. Your hair is a mess of tentacles. You have the body of a centaur, with four wings and two tails (both with feathers on the end). Two wings are pink. The other two are green and black, respectively. You have a row of sharp spines going down your back (very sharp). You also hiccup rainbow bubbles... ~Vili
So, now you all know what I look like.

We're creating a HW RPG! Come check it out!
