Nothing Left to Lose Pt. 15

 -Searching-

“We have no idea where she is. Nobody had seen her in days.”  Warren said after getting off the phone with a contact. The group had made their way back to the states and were staying at a house owned by the nights of the dawn. Ronodin was still with them but he had gone upstairs hours ago. 
“We’ve been at this all day, maybe, we should get some sleep. Start again in the morning.” Vanessa said, taking Warren’s hand when he sat back down at the table. Seth knew she should go back to bed, but maybe if he stayed up a little while longer…. “That means both of you too, get some sleep,” Vanessa said, giving Seth and Bracken the evil eye. 
“Guys, Vanessa’s probably right. And if we don’t go to bed she will probably knock us out with her sleeping darts.” Warren said, standing up. 
Warren was probably right with the second statement, so Seth decided to go to bed also. Bracken seemed to make the same conclusion. 
“Goodnight, guys,” Seth said as they parted ways in the upstairs hallway. 
“Night,” Warren said as he followed Vanessa into their room.
“Goodnight, Seth,” Bracken said as he closed his door. Seth headed down the hall to his room. 
Could they really save Kendra? It was taking about everything they had just to look for her and they still had found nothing. It had taken three years to find Kendra last time. They knew that if she didn’t want to be found she wouldn’t be. Not the mention all of her contacts will have probably alerted her that they were looking for her by now. Seth just didn’t know what to do. He guessed the best he could do right now was get some sleep and start again in the morning.

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...
