That's always nice to hear.

I can only repeat after Gwen: If you want to know anything, just ask. I'm not too afraid of spoilers here at dA. It will be a long time before I finish the book in Czech (if ever), and I would be very surprised to ever see it translated into any other language. Except maybe if I decide to translate it to English myself. That would be fun - I bet the versions would differ greatly

Anyway. Galarion is a character that comes into the picture quite some time after the planned book's end, and he's a miracle. I thought nothing and nobody can ever make Dorion genuinely happy, even though he's able to grow content with his life. Then Galarion came and did it. Just like that. He's a new beginning of something that went horribly, horribly wrong the first time - so he's not just a child, he's Dorion's greatest hope...

I am glad you like it I actually started to color it in Photoshop today, since I am unable to do anything reasonable, and it changed very much the feeling, so I don't know if it will be any good.

Well, the story is the matter of heart for me. It was the first thing I ever read about elves (I was trekkie before ) and I immediately fell in love with it. If you want to know a bit more, taste the world *Lawenta is painting with words pictures and roleplaying, visit these three submissions of hers, for there is written more in author's comment and our comments under it:

But I warn you: She is writing the story longer than I know her and that is almost 13 years already, there is no way to be sure if and when she will actualy finish it in written form, not to mention she writes in czech. But I think that if you ask her about any part of her world, she will gladly tell you more

Yay for Trekkies! I just recently discovered that you can be a fan of Tolkien/fantasy in general, Star Trek AND Star Wars at the same time! (yes, I'm kinda nerdy)

I'm really impressed by how many different, complex characters (all with their complex histories) Lawenta has... It sounds like a very well-fleshed out story with lots of background

I know. Add an anime in the mix and you have me... hello, fellow nerd

Oh, you have no idea We both practically live in our worlds. We roleplay and write constantly all those 13 years, she has even her own elven language (or languages since there are more dialects), even though not really complete. That might interest you if I am not mistaken and you like linguistics. I certainly like the way her elves use language in general We both created and played hundreds of characters so those depicted here are those who was significant enough and developed good background with all the tiny details. Plus *Lawenta is realy in it when it comes to genealogy When we form a couple, her favorite part is deciding on babies, so some characters are really literally played from cradle to grave. The story I mentioned is just one of the major ones (and the one most important... ugh, I guess), there are many more Oh well, I could go on forever, but I would necessarily start about my own world (and go on forever about that too) and you wanted to know about that particular story and that happens on *Lawenta 's planet and you should ask her, since I don't know how many things I can tell not to mention she is rewriting it and does major changes in the process.
I so love our worlds So don't hesitate to ask anything about it in the future.
