Nothing Left to Lose Pt. 19

 -Invitation-

“She wants you to do what?” Warren asked, or more like yelled loud enough to make everyone wince. Bracken had just gotten back from the “date” and had finished telling them about what had happened, though it seemed to Seth like he had left a few bits out.
“I told her I wasn’t going to do it. She’s feeling guilty about the last three years, and probably almost killing me.” Bracken said, but Seth still couldn’t believe that his sister would think they would kill her. Even if her body was taken over by an evil version of herself. 
“Yeah, that is not something we’re doing. Maybe Tanu will find something, has anybody heard from him?” Seth asked.
“Not yet, but he should be calling soon.” 
After a few more minutes of thinking of ways to get the necklace when a knock came from the door, “Are we expecting anybody?” Vanessa asked.
“Not that I know of,” Seth said, getting up and heading for the door. He opened it to find an envelope addressed to My dearest family and friends.
“Guys, we have a problem, I think,” Seth called, and everybody came into the living room. 
“What is it?” Bracken asked.
“A letter from her,” Seth said, opening the letter. 
“What does it say?” Vanessa asked.
Seth unfolded the letter and started to read it out loud,

“Dear lovley people,
I understand after recent events that you all need time to let go of the old Kendra, the dead one. That’s why I’m hosting a funeral, tomorrow at twelve at the old church twelve miles from this very house. 
Hope to see you soon

Love the new better Kendra.”

“Well isn’t that lovely,” Warren said, “I guess we have a funeral to get ready for.”

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...
