Who is Andrew? Part 2.

Ok, this is the post that continues with my story. I ended it with Andrew and Erin travelling into the other world. When Andrew lands he is unconscious, and has landed in a pile of hay (lucky for him). he is conscious long enough to see a blurred figure approach him, then he blacks out.
When he wakes up he is in a bed. A girl is with him, and says her name is Tia. She also says they are in the town of Triesta. Andrew had been out all night and Tia is dying to know who he was. when he wakes up, she questions him, but he says that he doesn't remember how he got there. She agrees to take him to some wiseman up in the mountain tribes that she'd heard of. They would need to travel through the forest up to the mountains.
Tia wants to get away herself. she has no family, but works as a servant under the innkeeper. She wants to get away, so happily agrees to show him the way.They sneak away, and journey into the forest. Andrew still can't change at will, but he feels he comes close whilst he's there. Tia shows him how to hunt, and he's a quick learner.
But during their first night in the forest, they are surrounded by a gang of wild men named the hunters. They are dragged away to their camp, but the fear causes Andrew to again become a wolf. The hunters are surprised, as is Tia, but they know of the stories and guess who he is. They decide they must help, but tell of the dark beasts that roam the forests now. It is decided that they must take the longer route, travelling past the Lustrig town and down the river acorn. They send two hunters to accompany them, then send them from the camp.
So the four of them travel towards Lustrig. They are dropped at the end of the forest, and Andrew and Tia move into the town. They find an inn to stay in, and walk out to see the town. They find some food and some stuff for travelling, then wander.
Unfortunately, Andrew falls into a fit, and starts to see another prophecy. When he comes too, Tia is urging him to move,and the towns soldiers are after them. They flee the city, heading towards Long-stead. They turn off towards Bridgeway, hoping to cross the river.
Soon they meet up with Erin. She had, after arriving 4 days after Andrew, landed in the same town. Not really able to understand the locals, and with no idea where Andrew had travelled to, she heads up the coast to the city. There she hears tales of a boy and a girl crossing the country, and were last seen in the town near the forest. She starts heading that way, and surprises them on the path. This causes Andrew to change again, revealin his secret to erin. Together they flee whatever would chase them.
But the darkness that rules won't let them go easily, and sends out a monsterous shadow beast to destroy them. They run to Bridgeway, but as they near it the beast catches up. They head up stream, hoping to cross the water, but it seems impossible.
Then, for one tremendous moment, Andrew feels all his power well up in him, and he lets it out. He becomes a wolf, but is faster, stronger. He attacks the creature, and seriously injures it. It crumbles to dust, and Andrew changes back, dizzy.
Then the threesome travel up to the mountain tribes. They find the wiseman, and find out what Andrew's prophecy means. It meant that another was coming. They are also told that the thing they killed was not yet dead, just banished. It is foretold that the two will come together to overthrow evil.

Thats basically how my story goes. Of course, I'll change it as I go along, and add more to it. There will be more about Andrews relationships between Tia and Erin. Looking at it, I can see that andrew will have some severe girl trouble. He's surrounded by three of them, so that will give him a rocky relationship. Could be interesting. How is your story going to go? Can you comment on mine please? Don't worry about names of towns or anything, they can be changed later.
Tell me what you think!

Who is Andrew? Part 1.

I'm writing this post to describe the journey that Andrew goes on. Of course, it starts at home. Andrew is an only child, adopted from an early age by a kind woman and her quiet husband. He never knew his parents, who had died when he was a toddler.
At the start of the story he has no idea that he is some magical being from another world. It just been his birthday, which is a Saturday, and returns to school on the Monday where we first meet his best friend, Erin. He goes to school, but seems off colour, keeps getting headaches and dizziness.
Then his Adoptive mother dies. Andrew loved his mum, and is devastated when she dies. And whilst curled up in grief he feels something change inside of him. But he doesn't realise exactly what it means.
Then he notices little changes about himself. He can hear better than normal, and one night attacks the wires in his bedroom without thinking to shut up the static noise. He can smell better too, and at one point is overwhelmed by smells. His dreams change, and he finds himself dreaming of things going to happen. One day he predicts a girls death.
Then stuff gets even weirder. When confronted by bullies, he swipes out and scratches across one boys face, like an animal. At a fair he attacks a rabbit. One night he goes into a fit and howls at the moon. the final sign is the voices that start in his head, other peoples thoughts.
But he has a phone number, given to him by an old man who predicted this would happen. They arrange to meet up the next weekend.
But that night the darkness seeks him out. He is confronted with a shadowy beast, and runs. That is when he makes his first full change into a wolf. He runs into the forest then around to his friend Erin's house. When he reaches there he collapses, and changes back. He meets up with Erin and, without revealing the truth, gets her help in finding the old man.
When they reach his door, Andrew falls into a fit, and dreams a new prophecy. Erin pulls him over the doorstep, and with the old man she writes down the prophecy (Its the prophecy in my other post by the way.) Erin finds out the mans name is Remi, and together they wait for Andrew to wake up.
When he does, Andrew talks privately to Remi, and finds out that he is a shape shifter as well (Into a stag), and also his grandfather. They talk about the other world and the prophecy Andrew just made. He decides that he must travel to that world to stop the darkness. As he can't return home, he gathers a few things and readies himself to go. Remi puts a translation spell on him, and then pushes him across the void. When he wakes up he has crossed to the other world.
Unfortunately, Erin has no idea what is going on. She talks to the old man, and though she can't get any straight answers, she agrees to go across and help him, but as the timing is different she is four days behind him.

That's all I'll write right now. That's the end of Part one. I'll post part two tomorrow.

Time for a history lesson...

Wait! I know what your thinking. Don't worry, I just want to go over what I've been thinking about the history of our made up world.
It all begins 1000's of years ago (Their time. Remember, time there is flowing faster than out time, so here its only been years.) when the other world was filled with mystic beings, as well as the normal homo sapiens. Similar to us, they shared a connection to our world. However, these people had powers, like Telekinesis, shapeshifting, predicting the future, controlling the weather, Invisibility and Diviners. Each had two different powers, as well as telepathy, so they could communicate between each other.
So you get the idea. Well, as these guys are connected to our world, they travelled through, creating legends like the Greek gods, oracles, sorcerers and others. Back then the time flowed parallel to each other, so neither was faster.
Of course, this sort of living couldn't last forever. An evil sorcerer from the far North (see my picture above) came and attack, with a load of evil darkness. He destroyed the land, which was a peaceful paradise, and murdered everyone with powers. (That's everybody with powers were murdered, not he killed them with powers.) No-one could escape.

before

after

Ok, I lie. A total of 5 people escape, over into our world. That Jade, age 2, Andrew, age 1, Jades Dad (her mum died fighting) and Andrews mum and dad. Unfortunately the darkness followed them and has been tracking them ever since.
That's the story. Don't worry, the darkness won't catch them for 13 years, which is... now. Oops.
What do you think?

Powers

Ok, this is my last post for today. I just wanted to ask you this: What if Andrew and Jade had two powers each? One from the father and one from the mother. for girls the one from the mother is stronger and for boys it would be the father. So for example, with Andrew his Father was a shapeshifter but his mother was a seer, or an oracle. So Andrew can shape change and, occasionally, will glimpse the future. What do you want Jades to be?

Prophecy

I said in my previous post that i was working on a prophecy. I think you're going to get a lot of comments that say "it says more in my next blog". I'm going to tell you something now that i will elaborate on soon.
This Prophecy is actually made by Andrew. That's what I'll come back to later. But the prophecy kind of says how the guardians of old were overthrown, and how darkness defeated them. then it says that fire and ice will come together to become guardians of lore again. The last line seems to stick the most though. I'll give you what I've got so far. It goes:

As Angel to the darkness falls,

Left to waste in devils halls,

Fire bites with fearsome teeth,

Ice attacks all those beneath,

The rise of Guardians of Lore,

Two lives entwined forever more.

Why the name?

Ok, heres my post on the title. I called it fire and ice as its an idea i came up with at some point this weekend. It was something that was already going around in my head.
I was thinking about what if there was some sort of Prophecy. I've got some idea's going, so i'll put them in my next post. But the other night i thought about how Andrew and Jade could be like fire and ice. One would be fire and one would be the complete opposite as ice. so i came up with this thing Fire and Ice.

Fire and Ice

If you are looking at this page as you think it might be interesting, don't bother. I'm creating this blog to discuss things with my best mate. Its just an easier way to tell her my ideas.
If this is my friend reading then "Hello Friend." I'd write your name, but I'd hate someone to know that your names Elara. Anyway, as I said above, I wanted somewhere to write down my ideas not just so we can discuss them, but so i can look back on them later.
I want to use this mainly for the story, but it may be useful for other things. Just keep checking back to see if I've posted anything new, and if you don't, I'll probably remind you anyway.
See ya!
