Legendland things: Icon, Illustrated Fic, S3 Pitch
A bunch of things for legendland.
This icon tied for first place in the Flower Challenge. Thanks to everyone who voted for it:
For the Team Challenge where we had to make a book as a team. Team Confessor did cautionary fairy tales for young Confessors. hrhrionastar wrote The Confessor and the Mord'Sith, and I designed and drew the storybook pages for it. Click for bigger versions.
And lastly, a while ago we had to write out the story arc for what S3 would be if we were the writer. My S3 pitch is below the cut.
My season three would use some plots from the book as a jumping off point, but otherwise diverge.
Season 3 starts with Richard and Kahlan having a romantic scene at night. All is well, they can finally be together. Then the next morning, Richard wakes up, and Kahlan is gone. Worse, no one else remembers her. Zedd and Cara think he's crazy.
Kahlan has been kidnapped by Jagang, who thinks she holds the key to some power because of the prophecy "So long as the Mother Confessor's pure heart beats, the Keeper is doomed to fail." With the power of dream walking, he makes everyone forget about Kahlan.
Richard remembers Kahlan, because he is a Rahl, and so is immune.
We then add Jennsen to the main cast because she is pristinely ungifted, and thus the only other person that remembers Kahlan. After a few episodes of showing Richard traveling and Kahlan being imprisoned, we get to Jennsen. The fact that she remembers Kahlan makes Zedd and Cara accept that something is up.
Darken Rahl is then added to the main cast because he is trying to reclaim D'Hara, but cannot hold it without the power of the Rahl bond. He realizes he needs Richard, and thus we can have many episodes of the delicious bromance we got a brief taste of in "Extinction."
Eventually, they would realize that Jagang's power is negated by the Rahl bond, and people would start swearing to Richard - in effect giving us two Lords Rahl. Richard is the conscience and the magic, Darken is the cunning and experience.
Kahlan of course, escapes from Jagang at some point, maybe with the help of Verna, because Verna, and we end the series with Richard and Kahlan finding their way back to each other, set up for season 4 because now they know Jagang is a threat and they need to unite the land to fight him.
Also at some point Cara and Darken have hate sex, and Cara seduces Jennsen and shows her a whole new world of femslashy love.
And Denna would turn up in a few episodes and reveal she became a baneling and then drank Shadow Water, so that we could have Richard/Denna "No but I love Kahlan, but Denna loves me" tension to tease the Richard/Denna fans.
Zedd would be a beast throughout.
