"Of course Trince, Ffion, will you please excuse us?" Anwen asked.
"Sure, see you later!" Ffion quickly disappeared.
"I’m sure you’re already aware of my views of the Bind?" Anwen twiddled with the hem off her pale brown spider-silk shirt as she spake to Trince, looking up confidently every now and then. "What else do we need to talk about, I know your views and you know mine. Thankfully they coincide. Is it possible that you’ve changed your mind lately?"
"No," Trince’s voice was always firm when he spoke, which was not too often. "I just want you to know that we have to win."
Anwen masked her surprise at Trince’s remark. Anwen felt very strongly about becoming the next Binder, especially now that Gwenerth and Narzelda were the alternatives. She couldn’t remember Trince ever making a big deal about the Binderhood though. She always assumed that he wanted to work his way up through the military. "Why?"
"Gwenerth and Narzelda are not only idiots but they are evil as well. If they become the Binder’s they’ll tear the Bind apart," Trince replied. "And I’m sure you of all people don’t want that."
"I know they’re idiots, unfit to run this country but to me they’ve always just seemed politically inept. Why are they evil all of a sudden?" Anwen always felt that when she talked with Trince she was talking with an ice block. Their conversations were always cold, unfeeling and Anwen felt exhausted by them. She knew that this was a taste of how many conversations with officials would be and she was already dreading them.
"They want to increase taxes and go to war against the junkies," Trince mentioned the despised junkies, a faerie race that lived of the filthy trash of humans. Some links believed that the junkies should be killed off because of their dependence on humans. "Their plans would change the Bind into something horrible, links would be killed, everyone would become poorer and poorer until the whole Bind would be sucked dry. They would be excessively rich while everyone would be reduced to nothing."
Anwen was stunned. "Where did you learn this?" Her voice shook with anger. "Why would they think of such a thing?"
"They’re power hungry and selfish," Trince stated, only saying as much as necessary.
"Losing isn’t an option," Anwen said.
"Was it ever?" and with that Trince left.

"How soon can we put the plan into action?" A deep voice came from behind a snake-leather covered chair.* * * * *
"We’re working on it, your grace. The first step has already been completed," a faerie quietly said, fear vibrating in her every word. Her soiled blonde hair was cut very short and she wore a despicable piece of human garbage that was bright yellow and said "Starburst" over and over again. On her feet was some stiff paper that the humans called "cardboard." The "cardboard" was tied onto her feet with some"dental floss" lacing that was used to sew her "Starburst" dress together.
"Excellent," the deep, compelling voice replied. "It will only be a matter of time."

Just so everyone knows, even if someone wrote something about a character that doesn't mean it's actually a part of the story until I say that that paragraph won, meaning a lot of this could just be rubish unless it's part of the "ofical" story.
Okay I DEFFINATLY liked that one more then your friends- and I'm not just saying that. You have the knack for story telling- though your friend is obviously creative minded. I really liked both- but I have to say this one is better.
It rises more of a plot- though hers has questions I also find that this one introduces the charicters a bit more then hers does.
Thanks! I don't know how I feel about the whole Trince, Anwen talking but I'm glad I got it over with. My favorite thing in the whole story (even the paragraphs that have been discarded) is the last paragraph when we introduce a "junkie" and "the unknown character" (for now anyways.) I think I wrote that paragraph well, I just love it! Is there a particular part of Phar that you wrote? What do you think Anwen, Trince and Ffion are like? Who do you think "the unknown character" is? Do you like it so far?
Anwen is a deep thinker- very intellagent and easy to love. I don't know much more about her- but I can't wait to find out!
I don't know much abuot Ffion (like, how do you pronounce her name? Is it just Fion?) but I know she's a very girly girl and is a good friend of Anwen's (oh, and I love Anwen's name!)
Trince is obsessed with winning everything- not unkind- but a rash thinker, though he's also intellagent. So far I'm batteling wether he's worth Anwen's time.
I really do like it! It's very creative.
Yes, there are many specific scenes in Phar that I love- but I'll post them later. I G2G, I'm gonna be late for school!
Keep posting! (And Don't forget to go to my site!)
I thought the 'Mysterious Charicter' was a junkie- but now I think it's- what was the name again?
I think it was______
Gwenerth or Narzelda- not sure which. The male.
Though I doubt I'm correct- don't tell me.
And about my Phar scene- I don't know, there are a lot of scenes I'm really proud of.
If I think of one in particular I'll tell you.
I really liked the way you did this scene- very intreaging.
Hey, what's your favorite scene in Phar?
I wrote what chapter was my favorite, though I don't remember what the title or number was, if I wasn't so lazy I'd go look it up! :) It was the chapter where Fall was so brave, in that one skeleton place. (Truth be told, it was one of the actual times I thought Fall was worthy of Kyler.)
So so you know, Anwen is welsh for "beautiful." We couldn't decide on names so I went on a welsh site and picked out all the names that that I liked that also decribed our characters. I love it when names are not only beautiful, but they match your character! :)
I'm glad you like it so far; I'm also glad how you pictured the characters, how you think of them is exactly how I wanted too. (I'm glad that I got my point across!)
You don't think Fall's worthy of Kyler?
Actually- neither does she (oh crud...)
But Kyler doesn't feel worthy of Fall, so you know...
I think it's funny that everyone hates Fall- including the chariters in the book- becouse I know her life story and why she's the way she is and what happens later.
Poor Fall, everyone hates her (and she likes it that way).
Fall'd be glad you don't like her...
Okay, hurry up and tell me which chapter wins and post the new chapters- I'm dying over here!
Okay- I have two favorite parts in Phar but you havn't read them yet!
I want to tell you SUPER bad!! WAHH! =( (=
I'm actually writing one of my Fav. scenes right now!!
Except one of them is very dramatic- but so am I. My one favorite is all about Fall's life.
I do like the part in the cave- where she saves their lives.
I dreamed I played Fall in the movie of Phar and I did that part. It's a pretty cool scene.
If I do say so myself.
Which I do.
Oh- I also do the whole look up the name thing.
Kyler's name means 'Handsome' and Adam's- well Adam's isn't really all that important. It means 'man'... but I like Kyler's.
Fall's parents, some of the Unicorns, Spring... all of their names mean something.
I like the site www.behindthename.com
that's where I look up my names.
Mine (Kathryn) means both 'Pure' and 'Torture', my mom says it means pure torture. Yours means Virgin.
Yah, Torture fits you :)
Well, I really think that the last chapter you posted was one of the best (you know, when they kissed.) I only feel like Fall doesn't deserve Kyler because I like Spring better. (I've kinda said that a thousand times.) Fall's reaction for everything is understandable from what I can piece together from her past. (If that made any sense.)
I REALLY like my vision of the Faerie story but like I said in my second to most recent post, my friends don't agree. I finally figured out all the world, all the charcters, their background (etc.) and then they (my friends) came at it with axes, ripped out their hearts, put their heads on stakes and set fire to the whole Faerie world. (Of course they didn't actually do that, it's just what it feels like to me.)
Oh yeah, I found all the welsh names on behindthename.com Funny coincidence, huh?
I love your description of things!
Okay- I'm going to tell you this much:
Fall doesn't think she deserves Kyler either (you two agree on something!) but Kyler disagrees, he actually doesn't feel he deserves Fall (I LOVE him!). It all works out though (just wait until the end of the seccond one...)
