Im thinking I might put up my Whistold ebook for free since I know anyone who might want to read it may not necessarily be able to afford it but. Is there a good place for me to put an ebook up for free? Or should i just put a pdf on google drive and share the link?

If people want to support me and buy the book still, physical or ebook, itll still be an option but I genuinely just want folks to be interested in my characters and my stories.

Would likely do the same for Primordial Life once its finished. Only one of my volunteer beta readers actually finished the book and gave feedback (though it was really good feedback and super helpful!) So idk when ill get back to that. Plus I havent done any illustrations for Primordial Life yet either, and my burnout has been pretty severe.

Anyways. Thoughts on me giving free access to my book Whistold: The Power of Heroes?

Water

This magic can be used to move water, but not create it. It can be used to form waves, water columns, and whirlpools with nearby water sources. The strength of the water depends on the strength of the user. Aquatic individuals can use this ability to create a breathing bubble or water pack to travel on land. All Oceanids are born with this magic.

Manipulation → The ability to pull water from an existing source and control it freely. Can also be used to pull water from fur to immediately dry off.

Generation → This ability was originally thought to be ‘making water out of air’ but was discovered to be using small amounts of water such as sweat or dew and expanding it to create larger amounts of water.

Infusion → While water cannot technically be infused into an object, it can be used to make items like water helmets for Oceanids to travel on land.

Veel

Veel is the largest continent  located at the northernmost pole of Whistold. Veel has frigid mountains on the western and eastern coasts bordering the open tundra that makes up the majority of the continent. Despite having so much land, Veel has a low population due to the freezing temperatures and limited resources available on Veel. The land is dominated by thick furred wolves, polar bears, moose, and other animals well adapted to the harsh cold of Veel. Residents of Veel find themselves hiking the mountains of Veel for resources and better food, sometimes leading them to Veel’s Star Tower. Star Tower is a place where most mountain travelers find themselves when they’re lost in the eastern mountain range. Guardian Cynthia cares for lost wanderers at the tower before helping guide them back home.

Harmania 

Harmania is home to Guardian Umo, a mouse-tailed bat with mind-based magic. Harmania seems to have the worst problems out of all six inhabited continents; the continent is plagued with wars and discrimination amongst minorities. Harmania consists mostly of rabbits, goats, and coyotes, and has a highly diverse landscape. The continent includes a large wasteland bordering a desert and a rainforest as well as a large forest bordering the mountainous regions of the continent. Harmania’s tower is known as Hero’s Tower; it has the largest book out of all the towers since it documents the numerous problems in Harmania’s history. The top of Hero’s Tower has a magic Life Map and telescope created by Umo that allows viewers to locate secret areas around Harmania. The Life Map notates areas of the map in which portals are present; these portals take you to faraway places in an instant; all of the areas with portals are significant to Umo. Harmania is known for a long history of war between different areas, leading to the separation of the continent into districts.

Ellivis

Ellivis is a large continent divided into several islands with varying cultures and societies. Despite every island being vastly different, Ellivis is a peaceful continent with virtually no history of violence or war. Ellivis’ tower, Heart’s Tower, is located in the ocean in the center of the islands of Ellivis. Heart’s Tower is typically used as a place of refuge after typhoons and flooding. Guardian Del is frequently found at the tower to aid any Ellivis residents who seek out help, regardless of what help is needed, Del is always readily available to help his people. The people of Ellivis are excellent sailors who cooperate with the sea people around Ellivis to collect food and resources.

Whistold’s Imperfect Creators

An Imperfect Creator by the name of Xra created a world he named Whistold. Since the world was created in secret, he had to find a partner that would assist him without revealing the existence of his world. Xra eventually encountered a divinity named Astral, who helped sustain this new world by cloaking its existence from their homeworld.

Xra is the Creator of Life in Whistold, and is the source of all biological life that exists in their world. Xra relies on his Guardians to safeguard the life that they created since they cannot directly interact with the beings that were created. Astral is the Creator of Magic in Whistold and is responsible for the various types of magic that exists in this world. Astral’s own magic is somewhat unstable, so even Astral does not know how every magic works, and some forms of magic are restricted to specific beings in the world of Whistold. Additionally, mutations of magic are fairly common on Whistold due to Astral’s magic instability.

Xra

Created the Guardians of Whistold’s continents; he wants them to be happy no matter what, and wants them to fit in.

In order to keep the Guardians happy, he created the Prophecy Heroes, therefore inventing the prophecy so the Guardians no longer had to fear the world’s endless self-destructs (called ‘The Collapse’ by Whistold’s Guardians).

He is incredibly weak since most life on Whistold is composed of his magic; his magic behaves in ways it shouldn’t for a Creator; Divine Magic naturally restores itself if used to create life, though Xra’s will not naturally restore itself for unknown reasons.

He is tagged ‘Rotten Creator’ since many believe his magic is tainted and rotting away 

He fully supports Ukrassus and Evelynn’s goals with the Elemental Ambassadors and doesn’t mind when their Guardian, Taffee, intervenes with the World as he sees fit.

Both Imperfect Creators are incapable of leaving the Rotting God Chamber.

What is the White Magic Organization?

The White Magic Organization, or WMO, is a private organization made to counter the Black Magic Organization. The WMO was founded by Tonshee when she discovered the existence of the Black Magic Org. Tonshee begged for the aid of Del when researching the differences between ordinary magic and Divine magic, and the two eventually worked together in their studies to stop the BMO and learn what they could about the magic of Whistold. The members of the WMO are typically individuals taken in by Tonshee as children that are taught the prophecy and the precautions they should take when around the BMO. Every member of the WMO is taught to defend the prophecy heroes, should they be encountered, and they are taught to study magic in safe and humane ways. 

Aside from their magic studies, the White Magic Org. is also an organization that helps large groups of discriminated people. The WMO works to ensure that all possible people are happy and safe, and they make people aware of the Whistold Prophecy, untold history of Whistold, and the importance of Whistold’s magic. The WMO’s most prominent members include the Elemental Ambassadors recruited by two Creators from a far off world. The Ambassadors help specific groups of people in need. For example, one member of the WMO rebuilt a village where defective/disabled children were sent to in order to help them survive and potentially lead them to create a less discriminatory world.

Specter

Specter magic is a specific magic that is seemingly random in origin. This magic essentially causes the individual possessing it a living dead entity, who can communicate and touch spirits while still being very much alive. Specters have a higher spirit sight as a baby, and they gradually lose their touch with the world of the undead, only being able to see spirits who want to be seen when they are old enough to realize that the people they are seeing are spirits instead of living people. Specters can attach spirits to objects in order to communicate with them better and use the spirit’s personal magic. Specters are in between the living and dead, and are therefore much more difficult to kill. Killing a specter requires the destruction of their soul, an extremely difficult task only possible with specific powerful magics or tonics.

Bekuda Winfrey

Age 16

He/him Male

Emperor Scorpion

Static Magic

Relatives: Neina (mother *deceased), Akshaw (father)

Friends: Teka, Munnu

Bekuda is a member of the Winsey Tribe in the Jungle District and is the son of Chief Akshaw. Since Bekuda was born with a Prophecy Mark, Akshaw has been teaching Bekuda how to use his static magic safely and efficiently for him to eventually be able to activate the Winsey Temple when The Collapse drew near.

Bekuda was taught to be friendly and attempt to befriend the other tribes of the Jungle instead of being immediately hostile towards them like the rest of his tribe. He spent some days with Scheemi’s tribe in order to grow accustomed to the different tribes of the Jungle, familiarizing himself with the people and the environment in both tribes. His involvement with both Scheemi and his father Akshaw led him to wanting peace among all the Jungle Tribes. 

While waiting to play his role in the Harmania Prophecy, Bekuda works with his father, Scheemi, and his best friend Teka to try and stop the fighting between the Jungle Tribes. Though he hasn’t had any luck so far, Bekuda is determined to bring peace to the Jungle, even if he has to wait until he becomes the chief of his tribe in Akshaw’s place.

Extra Notes: 

Bekuda is known to be somewhat dimwitted and goofy, so most of his tribe doesn’t take him very seriously.

Teka is a part of Scheemi’s tribe, an immigrant tribe that originated from Oelo, but later moved to Harmania before Scheemi’s leadership. Bekuda finds himself wanting to be in Scheemi’s favor so he can talk to Teka more frequently. 

Bekuda is very unconfident in his abilities, especially since lightning is an extremely dangerous element to wield in the Jungle District. 

Bekuda loves mushrooms, but has trouble distinguishing which ones are poisonous, so he often gets sick.

Bekuda hates leaving the Jungle District since he’s never left the jungle. He doesn’t mind talking to people who come from outside the jungle, but will not leave the safety of his tribe.

Clarestol Emmel

Age 25

She/her Female

Virginia Opossum

Mind Magic

Relatives: Bonnibelle (mother), Dedrik (father), Christoff (triplet), Caliber (triplet), Moon (daughter *deceased), Kade (ex-husband)

Friends: ???

Mune ‘Clarestol’ Oculus is a wanderer who grew up in the Uku Wetlands by the Wildland Kingdom border with her mother and brothers. Clarestol is a triplet born to Bonnibelle and Dedrik Oculus, though her father went missing and has been presumed deceased since before she and her brothers were born. Her brothers Christoff and Caliber were her only friends growing up since the family lived in such a remote area.

As a teen, Clarestol found herself with a love for adventure and would often travel to the Woodland Kingdom across the river in hopes of meeting new people. One day, she met a man named Kade Emmel, who she eventually began to date. By the time she was 18, Clarestol and Kade were engaged and had plans to move to the Woodlands away from her family home. Once the newly-wed couple were married, Clarestol quickly found herself pregnant and opted to become a stay at home mother for her baby. Gradually, Clarestol became isolated from her family, and Kade was the only person who she was able to regularly talk to. 

After the birth of her daughter, Moon, Kade became physically abusive with Clarestol. Despite being isolated from her family, she eventually escaped from Kade and went to live with her family in their new home in a small village in the Woodland Kingdom. While she was out filing divorce paperwork, the village was attacked in an act of terrorism, and there were no survivors from the incident. Mune found herself in the Woodland Medical Facility under the care of Sheek Tecilla. Now, ‘Mune’ is currently listed as a missing person after disappearing from her small village home before the terrorist attack..

Extra Notes: 

Clarestol immediately changed her name from Mune to Clarestol upon escaping from Kade in hopes that she would be harder to locate. She hasn’t legally changed her name or finalized the divorce with Kade, but has a restraining order against him upon escaping from his abuse.

Clarestol used to prefer having short haircuts, but started to grow out her hair to hide the spiral mark on the back of her neck upon learning about the Prophecy from her mother.

Despite not being at home during the terrorist attack on her home village, she was still in the area, and was badly injured as she tried to locate her family amidst the chaos. Moon did not survive the incident and was deceased at the time the Woodland Medical Facility recovered Clarestol. 

Despite Clarestol surviving the incident, news reports about the terrorist attack report that there were no survivors in hopes that Kade would assume she was also deceased. Unfortunately, this did not deter Kade, and he quickly found out that she had survived. He is still attempting to track her down.
