UPDATES AND CHANGES
I am merely announcing, so sit tight and accept it! (Side Note: This is one of the things brought up during my late night visit with Sig. She said that if I had time, I could write chapters, (she said I could even write about Axyll and DS XD) etc., so we had to discuss and clear out a few things first. :D)
*Reiko is no longer a main Phoenix hero - but he's still heir of the dragon and helps in the phoenix, much like Giron helps out Fe. So he still plays an important part in the "Kisa support" department, again like Giron for Fe. He'll also live in the Phoenix for some time and helps contribute to the army. :)
*Celeste is no longer Laconic - as much as it pains me, Celeste must undergo a lot of character changes, since aside from the fact that Axyll has turned too much like the character description of Celeste (inc. the calm, level-headed, laconic aspect) in the chapters released so far, it turns out that Celeste's character needs a little more clarification. For instance, she's weak at combat (despite being a wolf) since her training (still under the very negligent Gaihla) was aimed at healing magic, since the wolf probably felt that their current (and only) healer is too unreliable and hence the need for a new one. That is not to say however, that Axyll gets Celeste's character description. A lot of things are still the same, such as the aloofness of Celeste, so it won't be a major overhaul. In depth clarification later on. ^^;
*Celeste and DS were not in love at first - again, a very old point I keep raising but nobody until yesterday listened to. -_- Who can believe that a 7 year old and a 13yr old were already in love at that point in life? So much so that when the 7yr old turns into a 16 year old, we find her moping about the locket her lost "lover" gave her? It's just plain WRONG. Her image of him will be at best an imagined adult likeness. Best friends, yes, but love? Too silly. Sig concedes. If (for vigile's sake) the two must end up falling in love, that happens later on in the story.
*Conrad is no longer the son of a prominent Serpent Lord - Indeed, it is quite an amazing coincidence that everyone in the Phoenix "just so happened" to have come from some spectacular bloodline. Kisa and Reiko are Kenji's children, Celeste is Gaihla's apprentice (with the bloodline of some important druidess not to mention), Axyll is the daughter of a dead Lotus Zen master, etc. Originally, I think only Deepscar has a regular background, save the incident that he was kidnapped. Ferendil HAD a regular background, but she's Zymeth's secret weapon now. ^^; Since Celeste can't be demoted further (or else we can't explain Dae), Conrad gets demoted. :p
*Axyll-Deepscar-Celeste have a love triangle - Sig herself said that she really didn't get how Celeste and Deepscar got together, aside from the fact that they were both Wolves, especially since Celeste's character seems quite aloof and cold, but she did mention (after reading the chapter Vigile wrote about A&DS's meeting) that she saw sense in this other pairing. I've always thought it was unfair to me that nobody took my opinions about the matter very seriously. Just because I bring it up often and just because it comes from me doesn't mean it doesn't make any sense. -_- But since Sig sensed Vigile would freak, the whole thing is a reconciled into a love triangle.
*There is a big chance that Celeste will no longer lose her memory after revival - too complicated.
*Might add a new Scorpion Master - this is to balance out the numbers. :) contemplating a character for Kimmy (^^;) or moving Reiko, though the latter isn't very likely.
*Dae and Celeste no longer have a prophecy - too many prophecies already. Considering the main story circles on one big prophecy, adding mini-side-prophecies will only mess up things. ^^
I kinda forgot the others.. Hehe..
But I've been fair, I've been patient, and now I'm making changes! Yeah! This is with the authorization of our head writer, Sig., though a lot of the above were her ideas. :)
Actually, Sig was seriously contemplating scrapping the entire CxDS love story, since there are too many love stories in the fanfic already. Usually, as Sig said, only the lead character (in this case, Conrad and Kisa) have that in an adventure/fantasy story. But since "Vigile might freak", we're keeping the story, cause even I can see the inevitability of their ending up with each other. -_-
