So as I am writing this story, some things change and then what I have already written does not exactly match up with the newer chapters. The Fae Lore has shifted a few times and the biggest one is shifts in Railynn's ability to fight.
Just for reference, I have come to the decision on what I will do about the free copies of this story once I decide to officially publish the story. I have a lot of edits I need to make. Grammatical as well as slight shifts in the background lore and story as well as a few changes in the events and relationships between certain characters. I will keep the first draft of the story up on Tapas, Wattpad, Inkitt, and WebNovel. The final draft with the polished story and changes will be what is on iBooks or Kindle. That is still a long way off.
For this Blog Post I thought I would let you guys in on some of the changes I am thinking of doing in the final version.
The Fae Lore
When I first started writing this I had a much more complicated fae lore background thingy. There were fauns and sprites and nymphs and a bunch of other types of faeries. To simplify it all I stripped all of that down to simply high fae and lowborns.
In the final book I think I will re-introduce the various types of faeries that exist. I really liked how whimsical and interesting all of that side information was.
Auras
The magical Auras were always super complicated. I debated, several times, if I should even mention them. I have seriously considered taking them out all together. I have not made my final decision on this just yet.
I also considered changing it to simply a feeling or something less complicated. Their existence kind of gets in the way of some of my final ideas.
Discrepancy on Railynn's bad-assery
So in the beginning of the story, Railynn is a total warrior bad-ass. But, as some of you have noticed and commented about, for some reason she needs fighting lessons from Seth.
Now, I don't plan on taking the lessons out. But I do plan to go back and explain that because she was in a prison for so long, she is weakened, her muscles are not fully restored. Her form is a bit sloppy, her endurance is low. I think I will better explain that Seth and the fighting lessons are more to re-build what was once there.
The other idea I had, because I really want Seth to train with her for some reason, is that Seth's lessons are him trying to help her regain her ability to shift.
