«Se oyen los tambores de guerra y el susurro de los caídos. La brisa, más fría de lo habitual, roza los rostros de todos aquellos que se paran un momento al otear el horizonte. Se puede sentir en el agua, en el aire, en la tierra, una tensión palpable que hiela la sangre de los más fuertes. El mundo está cambiando, pero hay cosas en él que perduran para siempre, para bien o para mal. ¿Estás dispuesto a unirte al cambio? ¿Qué bando escogerás? Ten cuidado, mortal, pues los dioses siempre vigilan, y recuerda que cuánto más alto subas, más dura es la caída»

The Marsh 

«Nos encontramos es Crocket Island en el año 1984, una pequeña isla al oeste de Maine. Tras unas décadas prósperas, llegó la decadencia de la isla. Los sucesos extraños, las desapariciones y las muertes no han cesado desde que una de las descendientes del fundador de la isla, Lisa Marie Hughes, perdió a su hijo en las marismas asegurando que había sido obra de un demonio. Antes de fallecer, maldijo al pueblo».

Writing Patterns

Thank you so much for tagging me @kingedmundsroyalmurder and @thesweetnessofspring!!!

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern! Since I don't have 10 posted fics, I'm going to add the first lines of my WIPs because I practically never change them.

A Dream of the Woodland (TBC)

Barney decided to come back from his island the day after Cissy’s funeral.

The Brightest Thing In Gyeongseong (TOTNT 1938)

It was long past midnight, and the Bando Hotel slept.

The One Who Takes (TOTNT)

The girl was good at running.

and a liar may call it the truth (TOTNT 1938)

The village on the shore was an hour’s ride away, and Rang could see the smoke spiraling up from its chimneys, carrying the scent of grilled fish.

the heart is a hollow plain (TBC)

Miss Olive Stirling—soon to be Olive Price, though both she and Cecil were being casual about setting a definite wedding date—took a seat in the dining room of the Prince George Hotel in Toronto and flicked open a newspaper.

Absent in the Spring (Emily of New Moon WIP)

The first time Ilse saw Teddy in Montreal, she almost didn’t recognize him.

all we know of heaven, all we need of hell (Emily of New Moon WIP)

In the years after, Dean still dreams of her.

There are interestingly two patterns I'm seeing--I'm more vague and descriptive in my TOTNT fics, whereas in my LMM fics, I tend to start with the character doing an action, charging straight into the plot. I wonder if it's because I'm more confident in my LMM voice?

Other names: Yulguk, Yulnara, Yul Country, Bando, the Peninsula

Capital: Meotunseong (name pending)

Government: constitutional monarchy

Geography: MOUNTAINS with some plains in the west + many coastal islands

Rambly “Historical Context”:

(not proofread)

30 years after Saseom-ae (Shijimian) occupation invasions were repelled by a combination of Long, Yul restorationist, eastern Maljok, frontier warlord, and Bellian forces, Yulguk and the rest of the realm of Danyangju have only now been able to wearily emerge from the shadows of the Sandalwood Wars.

The Sandalwood Wars started as the logical conclusion of the empire-building done by Danyangju’s two eastern giants: the Samyukta and Long. The former vied to reestablish an old history of dominance in the southern Jo Danju region, which the latter had locked down through an extended tributary system. Initially fighting through proxy wars by supporting various usurper and incumbent powers, the conflict spiraled into open war. Hence started the Red Sandalwood War.

In the northern Baek Danju region, Imperial Shijima, whose clashes with the bloated Long Empire over influence on the Yul Kingdom and disruptive Shijimian settlers resulted in increasing economic isolation, sought an alliance with Samyukta and hence attacked the Yul and Long not long after war had started in the southern seas. Imperial Shijimian forces occupied the peninsula on the pretenses of restoring the clique of royal in-laws who the Long had ousted from power due to destabilizing peasant rebellions. The White Sandalwood War hence began, and with it, one of the longest, worst decades in Yul history since the Millennium War.

To be concise, fortunes began to turn as Yul resistance coalesced around the rightful heir to the throne, now known posthumously as King Geumjong. Supported by lower aristocrats and military leaders, he allied with northern frontier gangs and sought an alliance with Bellia, who hosted a formidable Yul diaspora that had grown during the regressive reign of the royal in-laws. Several Yul had been appointed to high offices and so heeded the plea—though not without concessions to be made in the future. As aforementioned, Geumjong’s coalition, fractured Long forces, and unsteady support from the inland Maljok turned the tides.

Shortly after the Sandalwood Wars concluded, a painful reconstruction and readjustment period began for the now-Great Empire of Yul—allowed to exist thanks to the destruction wrought upon the Yul’s former imperial master, the deposed Long. King Geumjong uneasily bowed to pressure from the Bellians, people, and lower aristocrats to form a constitutional monarchy.

Bellian advisory, military, and business forces now occupied the peninsula, brewing unease and imposing restraint on policy in the name of self-preservation and self-strengthening. Namely, the nebulous territories of the north were not administered as part of Yulguk. Many advisors and professionals across the realm formerly distributed to the Yul by the Long Empire were courted once again, this time to directly serve the king and prime minister. Not all improvements and changes were appreciated. When some of Geumjong’s former military allies rebelled against the Bellians and officeholders of the new republic, the rest of the army competently put the insurrection down, playing a part in Bellia’s ultimate physical withdrawal from the mountainous land.

What followed next was a decade of hardline, nationalist, paranoid, and heavy-handed policy openly supported by Geumjong. Prime ministers during this decade pursued a small war against the reconstituted Jaded Republic over the Long Empire’s former frontier territories, ending in expansion and the creation of two new northern provinces after diplomatic meetings deescalated the conflict. Xenophobia ran rampant, purging “foreign” officials and appointees from their posts. The dominant party also (il+)legally purged their opponents wherever they could and even stoked fear within their own ranks. Immigration restrictions intended to ensure that a devastated labor supply could not shrink any further, while funding was gutted for foreign study trips and diplomatic missions. The generally repressive atmosphere clashed with a steadily recovering, growing middle class that wanted universal suffrage.

The murder of Supreme Prosecutor Jak Noljin (name pending) by Gil Yong-gi and its investigation played a role in turning public opinion firmly against the conservative coalition. Jak’s younger brother, foreign envoy Jak Heungjin, was the liberal-aligned suspect that the investigation doggedly pursued, as the murder took place at his residence during the celebration of his son’s high examination scores. He also had lost a suit against Gil years earlier, who refused to restore Jak’s post after the latter returned from an extended spousal mourning period.

Yet, an overabundance of evidence pushed by liberal-aligned officials in the justice system later leaked to independent presses stoked public unrest, as opponents of the conservatives framed this incident as an attempt of judicial murder. Not to mention, it was also an example of the vicious climate brewing among the party itself, as people speculated that higher-ups could have ordered the elder Jak to be killed for going against party interests with his rumored investigation of Gil’s embezzling activities. Even Geumjong, who had long supported the party, publicly expressed that he would serve justice himself if he had to, preemptively vowing to pardon the surviving Jak before his execution.

Triumphantly, Gil was charged and executed instead, averting mass outcry.

The next decade was far more liberal, preceded by Geumjong’s stroke-induced death and the ascension of the current queen. In gratitude for awarding them a new majority, the liberal coalition enacted universal suffrage, regardless of income. The quality of life across the peninsula had by then mostly improved, although industrialization and urbanization ensured that turmoil continued. The most prominent feature of this decade was active foreign policy and economic pursuits, spawning the growth of a notable tourism industry. However, the increased circulation of people and goods also brings with it stress and disease, and an epidemic has recently only just begun to end. Ultra-nationalism once again lurks, ready to strike out against new cultural and social change while economic stratification entrenches itself as the new evil of Yul society.

It is at the tail end of this decade that the “present” story of Jakho unfolds. (think like the 1880s)

La isla y sus cuidados

la isla necesita nutrientes, es lo que siempre repetía.

Esto es algo necesario, ellos decidieron arriesgar su vida adentrándose a la isla, no dejara que su sacrificio sea en vano.

Angel Island es un mito, una leyenda, todo aquel que llegue a encontrar la isla jamás regresa.

Se dice que cinco grupos desaparecieron durante la búsqueda, ocurrieron en tiempos diferentes, personas diferentes, pero los recuerda a todos.

los primeros fueron un grupo de historiadores, llegaron con artefactos extraños para estudiar el ecosistema, los segundos unos cazadores de tesoros, buscaban la esmeralda; los terceros aventureros que tuvieron demasiada suerte encontrando la isla, el cuarto y quinto grupo fue muy parecido, divididos en dos bandos, los que querían preservar el lugar y los que querían obtener el poder de la esmeralda maestra.

Todos, sin importar sus intenciones, tuvieron el mismo final.

y todos, sin importar que tan valientes intentaron parecer, suplicaban su perdon.

Pero el no buscaba su arrepentimiento, ellos invadieron su hogar, destruyeron la flora con sus maquinas, ensuciaron el aire puro con sus fuegos y artefactos, lastimaron la fauna con sus armas, era justo que devolvieran lo que habían arrebatado.

**

La isla prospera, como siempre, mientras caminaba con dirección a las cavernas de Lava Reef , admiró la belleza de su hogar el paraíso que tanto a protegido, desde sus arboles ancestrales, hasta los caminos antinaturales de lava. El calor abrasador y el olor a azufre lo envolvieron cuando entro a las cavernas, los ríos de lava fluían lentamente, si no fuera por el calor podría quedarse horas admirándolo, pero no era a eso a lo que había venido.

Giró hacia las celdas, sollozos desesperados salían de su ocupante.

Un científico, el último intruso que llegó a su hogar, con la excusa que había venido a defender el lugar de aquellos que pronto llegarían para aprovecharse del poder de la Esmeralda Maestra.

No importa el motivo, todos tenían el mismo final.

"Por favor, te lo imploró" El hombre, no sabe su nombre, es mejor no saberlo, no dejaba de balbucear pidiendo ser liberado.

Ignoró sus plegarias y se concentro en observar el progreso, todo se veía bien, la Isla acepto gustosa su nuevo alimento.

Su concentración se rompió por una nueva sensación, las esmeraldas del Caos están aquí, junto a dos seres.

Tal parece que el hombre gordo decía la verdad, lástima, ya no hay nada que hacer, a este punto su cuerpo se ha fundido con la roca volcanica, solo una parte de sus brazos y piernas y la mitad de su cabeza se encuentra libres, el resto de el ha servido de fertilizante para la isla, como todos los demás.

Dejo al hombre agonizante y salió a la superficie, la tierra de Mushroom Hill ha estado muy seca últimamente.

La isla necesita nutrientes.

*

*

Sooooo, jugué nuevamente Sonic Adventure y no recordaba a los presos en Lava Reef, hay celdas con personas en ellas, me puse a investigar un poco y según la Wikia Red Mountain y Lava Reef son parte de Angel Island.

¿Cómo llegaron esas personas ahí?

¿Son espíritus?
