Nothing Left to Lose Pt. 11

 -Searching- 

Bracken, Seth, and Warren landed in Italy to find Tanu and Vanessa waiting for them. 
“Vanessa? What are you doing here?” Warren exclaimed as he ran to her, picking her up and spinning her around, only putting her down to kiss her. “I’m here too,” Tanu said lightheartedly. 
“Well, I’m not engaged to you,” Warren said, still holding Vanessa. 
‘We figured that we’ve all been searching for Kendra for so long, being this close called for the whole team.” Vanessa said, walking over to hug Seth. She skipped a hug with Bracken, not that he minded. He and Vanessa had been on okay terms for a few years but hugging was not in those terms. “So what’s the game plan?” Tanu asked, leading the way to the car. “Head to where Ronodin is supposed to be and wait for him or Kendra,” Seth said. Bracken just hoped that they would only find Kendra and not Ronodin. The group got in the car and headed to their destination. 

On the car ride, Bracken tuned out the conversation while looking out the window. He took out the necklace he had found outside the bari. He felt certain it was Kendra’s, but the only proof was that it was shaped like a unicorn. Even though he didn’t know if it was Kendra’s having it made him feel close to her again. Bracken did cherish all of his friends and they had all helped each other through the past few years but that didn’t mean he didn’t wish Kendra was there every day. “Hey,” a voice said jarring Bracken from his thoughts, surprisingly it was Vanessa. “You know we’re going to find her right? Don’t look so worried,” 
“Yeah, I know. I just hope she wants to be found.”

They were walking around the city when Bracken saw something shining from the corner of his eye. He looked over and saw Kendra walking away from them, but her glow was different somehow. Not any less bright but different. “There, I see her. She just went around the corner.” Bracken said taking off toward the same direction Kendra was going. When he turned the corner she was gone. “What?” He breathed out. 
“She must have gone into a building we need to find where.” Warren said coming up from behind Bracken, “Look for a secret entrance or something. we’ll have someone stay here in case she comes back this way.”
“Okay, I’ll start looking.”

Brandon Mull's Interview with Shadow Mountain

 Today Bradon Mull was interviewed by Callie Hansen on the Shadow Moutain YouTube channel. I was able to take the time to watch it live and thought I would share some of the questions and answers with everyone. I will not go over everything said, just mostly just the things that affect Fablehaven and DragonWatch. If you want to watch the full interview, you can find it on YouTube! The first question I want to go over is: How do you come up with so many names for people, creatures, and magical items?  Brandon’s answer, “I do put thought into names because, to me, the perfect fantasy name is something king of new, and different, but also reasonably easy to pronounce.  And so finding those kinds of names, at least for me, takes time, takes some thought, sometimes I make up the names.  For example, the perfect fantasy name to me is Gandal, right? Easy to say, easy to spell and you don’t have a friend at school named Gandalf usually.  And so that’s the kind of name I...

Nothing Left to Lose Pt. 17

  -Endings- “Stop!” Bracken yelled, but he was too late. Kendra pulled the blade from Ronodin’s chest. Kendra’s face showed no remorse as Ronodin’s body hit the ground.  Bracken ran to Ronodin’s side, stopping him from falling down the hill.  “I just did you a huge favor,” Kendra said, wiping off her sword. “You are nothing like the girl I knew. You might be worse than he ever was.” Bracken spat at this person he did not know. “That’s what I was going for, you saw what he did to the world, now you get to see what I’ll do with it. Just to keep you on the edge of your seat, it’s a lot worse.” A big black hole like portal popped up behind Kendra, she took a step back into it and disappeared. Bracken’s attention turned to Ronodin, but he was dead. “I’m sorry,” Warren said, the morning after Ronodin was killed. “It is not your fault, that girl is the one who killed him,” Bracken replied looking out the window. They had buried Ronodin in the backyard, Bracken would have taken h...

Nothing Left to Lose Pt. 20

  -Funeral- Bracken, Seth, and Warren walked into the church at twelve o’clock the next day. If this all went well, they would have Kendra back by the end of the day.  “Hello handsome, and the other two, but damn Bracken, you do look good in a suit.” She said, looking him up and down. They had all decided to go with formal wear and apparently so had she. She was wearing a long black dress that barely had a back, and her lips were the color of blood. Behind her was a picture of Kendra that was covered in black see through fabric. “Shouldn’t this be a funeral for the newest person you killed?” Bracken asked. “Really?” Kendra said with a sigh, then she snapped her fingers and a picture of Ronodin popped up, “Better?”  Bracken didn’t respond.  “Why do you even care that I killed him? Don’t you remember what he did to you? Oh, did you two make up? Have a family dinner heart to heart?” “Just because we had our differences doesn’t mean I wanted him dead, things have changed...
