The Reason I Write

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe."

Conversations with my Antagonist

Well, I thought I would introduce my antagonist, Falcon to y'all.


Arries: What's your favorite color?
Falcon: The colors of the forest; greens, browns, soft blues and reds, ect.


Arries: What race are you, Human, Elvin, Dwarvin?
Falcon: (chuckles softly) I am two races actually, the two you would never expect.
Arries: Well, it's obvious by your appearance that you're Elvin.
Falcon: (smiles encouragingly) Very observant Arries, but the part you are not expecting, is that my father is a Dwarf.
Arries: Wow! How'd that happen
Falcon: (smiles, but it never quite reaches his eyes) That, my friend, is another story for another day.


Arries: Do you love anyone?
Falcon: I loved my mother.


Arries: Do you trust anyone?
Falcon: (scowls) No. I did once, long ago, but I was betrayed. Lets talk about something else.
Arries: Ok.


Arries: What is your greatest wish?
Falcon: (smiles again) To extend my kingdom into Laudomia, and overthrow their cowardly, treacherous king. Oh, and I almost forgot, (he smiles coldly) to catch, torture and kill Flint.
Arries: (a little confused) Isn't Flint your childhood friend?
Falcon: (narrows eyes at me) Yes he was. Untill the day he betrayed me.


Arries: Okay, okay, so who is your best friend?
Falcon: I don't have one. (see's me about to ask) But if I did, the closest thing to one would be my apprentice, Niki.


Arries: (recognizes she's on dangerous ground) So, What are your hobbies?
Falcon: Oh, the usual, hanging out in my library, riding over the countryside, and, of course, planning my attack on Laudomia.


Arries: What is your eye color?
Falcon: Really, you're sitting right in front of me, and you can't see that?
Arries: Come on Falcon, You know people are listening.
Falcon: Black. Oh, and by the way, let's stick to the simple questions so that I am not envisioning how I can kill you.
Arries: That's not very nice, but, what ever you say. 

Arries: Are you having fun answering these questions?

Falcon: (sighs and leans back in his chair, swirling his wine in the glass) Of course! I always love getting to know people.


Arries: What is your favorite element? 
Falcon: for myself, gold. For others, (smiles cheerfully) fire.


Arries: What will you do after your done here? 
Falcon: I have a meeting with my general to see if he has located my... trusted betrayer above mentioned. 


Arries: Well my Lord, I believe I have used up enough of your valuable time, and so I will let you go now.
Falcon: (smiles brightly) well, thank you! Oh, by the way, I have had a feast prepared in honor of your visit, would you care to join us? 
Arries: O course, I will be right there!


Arries: (whispers behind hand as soon as he leaves) Isn't he wonderful!!!
I know, I know, treasonous thoughts indeed. Just don't tell Flint, and all should be well.


Well, I've got a feast to attend, I dare not be late.

Whoa, that guy is deep and dark and dangerous! What's his enemy's name exactly, though? Sorry, but your font's hard to read...

Love the name Falcon. And I love Falcon himself. Poor Flint. Is it treacherous top say I think Falcon sounds more interesting? :-D

Sierra said...

Just wait until I introduce Flint! I could not choose between the two of them to save my life. ;-)

Falcon is... interesting. Note to self: Don't annoy him. He reminds me quite a bit of one of my characters.
