Thought i would update you all.
started chapter 2 tonight, been hacking at it here and there done a few paragraphs!
Chapter one is complete about 40 pages. a partial rewrite is in order and a lot of tyding up! LOL Took me about six months!
I was going to do my 'Red sands' project but that has been knocked sideways for one main reason. I have an idea for a fantstic 'Planet of the Apes' style moment. And the story i origonally had in mind wouldnt fit with it very well.
A quick overview of the story.
Humans live in a fudal like society, with kingdoms and warlords. Its an advanced society to the same level as we currently are. But there is still a lot of superstition. The tank lives alonside the sword, the compluter alongside religeous parchments.
One day during a religeous festival a farmer harvesting his crops sees a huge silver cylinder like a tin can land from the sky, and these advanced strange hover vehicles emerge about a dozen of them and they lay waste to everything in their path. The farmer runs screaming as his home and family is killed, his wife and children is slaughtered but his sons are taken away by the machines.
Word gets back to the local King he thinks its a neighbouring rival kingdom mounting an attack but he finds out that his rival kingdoms are under heavy attack. Its a general all out attack from a mysterious heavily armed enemy.
He leads his armies out to confront the invaders linking up with another kings forces however in a huge battle the humans are defeated and sent running back to the capital city. the city is a huge island surrounded by two huge walls. one around the island and one on the costal area. its home to thousands of people and refugees are pouring in.
the city is eventually attacked its defences breached and there is chaos as people flee anyway they can ships, airships, on foot any way.
the king rallys the survivors and decides to flee far to the east. ledgend has it there is an island continent, once covered in ice now rich unspoiled paradice where no one can follow them. along the way they travel far beyond their borders encounter many other humans and descover the truth about who they are their past and who the invaders attacking them are.
The story is told in the first perspective with, the odd third person bits to fill the gaps the protagonist doesnt see.
i'm just writing this as it comes. Like i write a post. Looking over what ive written so far its going to need a lot of tyding up. i'm not natural at this but with a bit of polish im confident it will be cool.
The machines are a cross between the hover machines from 50's WOTW and Boba Fetts Slave One ship. I love the slow relentless pace of the 50's machines, that they dont move rapidly but give the impression they just wont ever stop.
Chapter one introduces the hero and gives an insight into the society in which they live and the religeon they follow.
here is a sneek peek at the alien tank machine, this is roughly what it will look like its going to be based on this.
