Before a set of dire recent events, I had two projects in the works, one is in the early drafting stages, the other is in the early plotting stages.
The Telling is my first project, this one I plan to eventually publish should I ever finish it. It takes place about 10-15 years in our future. It at first follows the story of Axenel Geib, goes by Ax. Ax lives in a semi urban community in South Carolina, he is an extremely introverted person who lives most of his life through the internet. Tech-savvy and extremely smart, his outward momentum begins with a workout routine he has in order to stay fit and ends with volunteer work at the Zoo, as he prefers to company of animals to people. On a day just like any other, he wakes up, gets ready for another lifeless day at work. Something seems off, The whole morning is different but the same. On his way to work, there is absolutely no traffic, nobody at his workplace, it doesn't take long for him to realize that he is the only person there. Quick exploration reveals that he is utterly alone, but there is no sign of a mass exodus or panic. Peoples cars remain in their driveways, their belongings unmolested by looters or thieves. It is as if everyone else just faded in their sleep. Even the internet is quiet.
And that is all you get of that one.
Bloodlines is my other project, just kinda early plotting stages right now. Stems from the idea that the world climate regions are not effected by seasonal temperature change but rather the only temperature change is between regions. The gave spawn the the Winterbloods and the Summerbloods, two powerful and vastly different bloodlines older than lore itself.
Winterbloods being a warrior race in the far north. Giants among men and feared for their prowess in battle and are charged with holding the Raven Wall at the edge of the world. The head family is the Ravenell's, the commissioners of the Raven Wall. Ever member of the large Ravenell family is commanded to hold a section of the wall ever since their coming of age celebration. It is said that no man may climb to where the Raven flies.
Summerbloods are the ever diligent politician, smooth talkers with a tongue sharper than most swords. A talented Summerblood can get whatever he desires without having to lift a finger. The Summerbloods are the unofficial leaders of the nation, and are lead by the Sterling Family in an almost monarchy. It is said that a Summerblood could sell you the deed to your own house for twice what you already paid for it, and you would still think you got a good deal.
That's pretty much all I got plotted in that one, I feel like it is kinda Game of Thones-esque, kinda like to explore the possibilities with this one when I am bored
