I’ll do it on monday!

Hopefully this will be the last in posts showing no progress. Essentially I had went through several of my older stories which were related to this project, each have variations that don’t gel with each other. In one instance we have an opening that shows a young man open a portal to another world after living in our world for his 18 years. Another one in which a young girl who is his girlfriend was thrown into a portal to our world and then somehow is united with him, with the special fact that she’s from his world only 100 years into the world’s future. Another part in which was titled “The 7th Gem” has our main character actually be one of the “7 gems” which is essentially a prince (the only one to return) out of 7 brothers. There’s another backstory where the King and Queen have a daughter, and in turn who has a suitor, a Knight, who appears to be good but really is in it for his own nefarious purposes. The Queen becomes deathly ill and the King searches for a magic fruit to heal her, only to be ambushed and killed. The Queen dies but not before she consents to the princess and the young knights betrothal. Eventually the princess and knight get married, but the new king is unfaithful and uncaring. He enslaves people to work in his quicksilver mines (a special mineral with magical properties which runs the world) and he carries on with the female help. The Queen broken hearted, kills herself by jumping off the highest tower in the castle. Now with nothing to stop him he seems bent on conquering different worlds that connect to his. The kid is the offspring of these two and she hides him by putting him into our world, however that seems very Star Wars, and I didn’t want to copy it deliberately.

Now when I re-read my intro to the 7 gems story, I like it alot. In the current enchanted lands story however, our main guy goes and sees our world, eventually forgetting who he is. When he comes back the world is in trouble. So i’m really trying to — Dang it you know how you try to remember a word that describes what you want to say, and it just won’t come into your mind, even if you think of the word alot, that’s happening here — Basically i’m trying to mesh the story ideas, till their cohesive into one story.

I have another story which isn’t exactly related but it has the main character being thrown into our world to protect him (again like star wars, I dunno I just may go with it because I like my intro so much), but where time passes slower in our world, so he lives 18 years our time, and it’s hundreds of years in this magical realm. But then the people that have made this possible might have been long dead. So I don’t know what i’m going to do.

I’ll post that intro that I think is so good maybe tommorow, if I don’t come up with a reasonable idea, and see what you think.
