San Robin -> (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (4/29/2012 16:38:15)

This is the discussion thread for This story.
if you read it, please give me feedback ( compliments are welcome too ;) )

DragonFuser? Sounds odd.

Anyhow, protagonist has an odd anomaly, and something is watching him. Of course, he has a special power (what protagonist doesn't? That's why they're special!). Only thing I find odd at all is the formatting. As of now the story is clear but as it gets longer adding a space between paragraphs might help for clarity.

Anyhow, will follow this best I can, good luck writing!

There is no cheese in this story! *is in shock* D:

@Glaisaurus, thank you for the advice, I'll keep that in mind :)

@Mritha, I'll find a way to put cheese in it, but it won't have a main role :P
Thank you for the corrections :)

I rushed to the village as fast as I could, which was quite fast because of the gryphin, to find a new mother and father with a newborn baby in their arms, they were in tears not because of joy but because of fear, the baby was born with strange eyes...


I know of the following ways to spell it; Gryphon, griffin.


Esmeralda, isn't that Wildroses' character (or just a coincidence)?

Anyway, I'm not quite sure what to think of this story yet. It could honestly go both ways. For one, Esmeralda blurted out why she came to his home village, but neglected to mention what happened to him, his parents and siblings. Perhaps a mention of them is in order, where she tells him what happened. I'd also advice you to tell how she feels when she tells him. (In the scenario where he lost his family I'd say it'd be fairly cold to neglect to mourn, especially since Nasbor seems to be the more emotional type.)

San Robin -> RE: (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (8/18/2012 19:03:54)

Fixed, Thanks Dwelling! :)

And I don't really know what to do with Esmeralda yet.
I have some ideas, but you will have to wait for the rest of the story to find out what happens to her :)
She's still alive anyway.




Mortarion -> RE: (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (8/18/2012 20:07:17)

I should read this, by the way, do you speak spanish

Also in the second paragraph of chapter 5, all of Nasbor's dialog is missing quotation marks, it was rather confusing to read.




San Robin -> RE: (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (8/27/2012 17:11:05)

Fixed, thanks Mritha :)

@Mortarion, Nope I don't speak a word of Spanish :P




Mortarion -> RE: (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (8/27/2012 17:48:31)

Ahhh, because 'Esmeralda' is a Spanish word




Glais -> RE: (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (8/27/2012 21:04:43)

And up one more chapter, not caught up yet but close.
The monster in chapter 3 seemed to kind of lack a description, gonna explain what it was sometime soon?




San Robin -> RE: (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (6/30/2013 18:27:33)

*blows dust of story*
Well... It's been a while since I worked on this :D
Anyway! Chapter 7 is out now! Be sure to read it if you want :)

First things first. When I click the link in this thread you provided all the "?" are highlighted for me.

Now then ....

Nasbor could hardly wait!

Why are you making use of an exclamation mark here?

quote:

Esmeralda noticed the glint in Nasbor’s eyes and worried a bit, even though revenge is a great motivation it was also the most dangerous one, the young boy’s eagerness to avenge his family could easily turn into darkness.... when that happens... She rather wouldn’t think about it...

San Robin -> RE: (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (7/1/2013 7:23:25)

Thanks for the fixes Dwelling :D
Fixed them now :)
quote:

Good! That's what I wanted for him a bit in this chapter, him being so focused on revenge that he forgets all his manners and losing his temper quickly.

quote:

I thought I put that in there /facepalm XD
I changed it now from "A whole group of them" to "about 100 of them".

Thanks again for the fixes :)




San Robin -> RE: (DF) The tale of a dragonfuser. discussion. (7/23/2013 19:27:58)

Chapter 8 is also up! (I forgot to post about that D:)
and the most recent addition Chapter 9 is up :D

You see, once someone is in deep meditation that person will be able to notice other creature’s soul!

I seem to recall that by meditating a mage can touch the world's network of leylines.

quote:

He didn’t know so he tried to think what a dragon looks like, the stories always spoke of huge lizard like creatures who breathed fire, creatures with large fangs and claws and malicious behaviour, but he didn’t think Sola once looked like that, Sola’s behavior was gentle and friendly nothing like the dragons the stories described.

There are no stories about good dragons despite the existence of the Dragonlord Order to match the hatred of the Dragonslayer Order?

quote:

now I shall lend you some of my power for you to prove Esmeralda that you achieved mindsharing with me!”

Now

Nasbor felt a alien power rush through his body and to his head,

an

quote:

“Is that so?” Asked Esmeralda, “Then please close your eyes as I hide something in the cave.”

So how exactly is Esmeralda able to see in the cave? She cannot have dragonsight as she told Nasbor he was the only one able to fuse with a dragon.

quote:

They somehow found us!

Dragon sight?

quote:

Nasbor looked around, at the end of the cave he saw a small gap, big enough for him and Esmeralda to crawl through but creatures as big as the Dravir could never crawl through it!

Dravir seem quite lean to me, they are not as bulky as the Draconians from AdventureQuestWorlds.

quote:

“I know these caves... They’re the home of an old “friend” of mine... But for now, rest, both of you!”

I thought Sola hadn't hatched yet?

Lol I didn't know that XD this uhm... *scratches head* is a fuser, it works differently :D ( good find :p )

quote:

For this there actually is a reason, Nasbor lived in a very small and far off village, the stories about dragons that were told to the kids were all made up so that the kids wouldn't think about going into the woods.
and as Nasbor had to leave his village just before he was considered a full grown man he never got to hear other stories.

quote:

She used a Torch I didn't put that in the story but she did. so in short: the magic of torches ;p

quote:

Dragon sight?

No they would've been spotted way earlier if the Dravir had that, I will explain why they were found in the next chapter :)

quote:

They're bigger than an old lady and a not yet fully grown boy, not to mention the weapons and armor they carry.

quote:

I never said Sola was an egg ;) It will be explained when the story progresses.

Thanks once more for finding the mistakes :)
but I hope you enjoyed this chapter :D

It was mentioned by Alina in AQW Design Notes featuring Warlic. So not to worry if you didn't know. I figured I should mention it though as the book in the Rose Fortress seems to confirm that magic works the same for the two games.

Just how much does Nasbor know about the world? Does he have any basic information as to who the leaders of the world are?

I have written about dravir in my story. They may be taller, but the majority of them only carries daggers and barely has any armour to speak of. Picture

He knows the basic things like Who king Alteon is and where he is located, but he doesn't know for example things of recent events like Sepulchure (Story is somewhere in book 1).
in his village they don't really have a school as everyone becomes a farmer, a merchant, a blacksmith ,a lumberjack or something like that anyway. so knowledge is something they don't have a lot of.

The Dravir were traveling towards a war in a certain city, so they brought supplies (Precious suplies, I might add) that they couldn't leave behind also hindering them to enter the hole :)
