Very, very much oversimplified outline. Eventually, I intend to have each event link to the chapter applicable. ^^ See, I want the outline vague, not only so I can change it as I need to, but so that nothing is given away. ^^ |
I. Fire-- three survivors (that are known of at this point) II. Aftershock-- people's situations after the fire III. Meeting-- The two "heroes" meet up (only, that one... Knowing what I do about her... I wouldn't call her a hero...) IV. Travel-- Minor events. Character development, and manipulation by Aradia... BAD ARADIA!! BAD!! V. Run-in-- First other species encountered, besides those in the minor events in travelling. VI. Travel-- more dialougue, primarily-- character development chapter. Further manipulation and lying... gads, you gotta watch that girl... Not that he's totally honest, himself... VII. Capture-- Oh, come on. Every fantasy book has to have everyone get captured!! So that the hero can save the dayyyy. (Cliche? No... wait a minute. The details... the details.) VIII. No escape...-- No, I don't kill everyone... leastaways, not yet. She's held captive, and he's drafted. *Note: next chapter is his Army Adventure!! Do they win? Well... they don't *all* die... IX. Eastward-- They go far, and overtake the humans' castle. However... as things play out... they nearly all die... and are forced to beat a hasty retreat... they're almost taken out... and somehow he's separated from them. *Note: next chapter is something of a "meanwhile back at the forest" chapter. X. Legitimate-- Everything goes plainly, for a bit.... and then Arcadia gets caught at herbal seeing, and is accused of sorcery. XI. Reunited-- Oh, no. Don't let the title deceive you-- it's far from over. They're reunited, sure-- in the holding cell. MWA HA HA!! And, no, the brave, dashing hero does NOT save the somewhat less than honorable damsel. Far from it... XII. Separate ways-- She manages to get out... he vows revenge for her methods of escape. XIII. Run-in-- Another run-in. This time with a marshland creature, with more brawn than brains. Restraining herself from certain actions, she manages to find out where the original dude she'd been chasing had gone. Only, there's a dilemma to pursual. XIV. Deja vu-- Back to a place visited. Only it's totally different than before... She has a run-in with the bad guy, who, coincidentally, isn't so bad, really... She joins up with him. XV. Boring chapter-- well, i have to have time pass SOMEHOW... and so we have Boring Chapter. I'll figure out SOMETHING to go here. More indetermined, than boring. XVI. Roads cross-- The two men meet up. Their pasts are... shall I say... their pasts have commonalities. She walks in. They look up. Both say her name at the same time. Oh, the drama... XVII. Interwoven threads-- Entire chapter is a metaphor! HA HA! I WILL CONFUSE EVERYONE WITH THIS!!! XVIII. either i'll go on from there, or close with another metaphor, in terms of an epilogue. Depends how i feel then. ~~Note: only major, major events regarding primary characters are involved... there ARE far more characters, but, this is already kinda takin' a while to type, so I don't wanna put their significances (heh... if that's a word) in as well. God bless. (c) storyline copyright me, Stephanie Gunderson. |
