Alright, so technically they're locked in. But they're being kept out of the action thanks to lack of a key ( Read more... )

ahh, always love to see more of Sethan and his minions! I loved the "As a matter of fact, no" exchange. And how Kairn really wanted to go too.

LOL AFTER Tie my hands AND Rough me up if it makes it more convincing I WAS LIKE "I WONDER IF SHAYNA IS JUST EXPECTING ME AND SLY TO SAY SOMETHING..."

it didn't even occur to me, but yes, I keep leaving it open for you, don't I? I am so asking for it...

A little background - since I haven't written any of what Kairn's been up to - he's been raising Sethan's son and keeping him hidden from the necromancers for the last 12 years - returning to them, not at all willingly, only recently. They see him as a traitor and he's only still alive thanks to Sethan's protection.

Thank you, and I will be happy to keep bringing you plenty more of Sethan :)

Ok, I thought I remembered that Kairn was raising Sethan's son (Shasa died, right?) but I didn't know that the other necromancers hated him. And I might know the answer to this or I might be way off, so I'm just going to ask...what is Sethan's son's name?

AND YES, YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT ;)

shayna611 December 28 2008, 02:25:16 UTC

Ok... Trying to think how much to say - I would much rather write story than explain things, so I'll keep it short

Sethan's son is Shamino - I think you've only likely seen him a handful of times - as a newborn and as a grown man in my only caramel piece.

The gods' chosen ones (like Sethan and Rune) are not random occurances and there is some amount of prophecy here and there as to how things will be aligned. The necromancers had some insight (that I've hinted at here and there - with Sethan's comments about no woman being foolish enough to come near him, and Kairn's anger at Sethan and Shasa's relationship) that if Sethan has a kid it will be BAD (for the necromancers) - in what way, I won't get into and what Sethan thinks about the whole business I don't want to give away - so when Shasa gets pregnant, Kairn runs away with her to keep her safe. He has not been in touch with Sethan for 12 years because he thought he wanted to kill Shamino too.

Hope that answered enough without giving away too much.

Very intiquing. Much more lighthearted than I expected a Hot Fudge piece to be. I think I kind of like Kairn, maybe because of his eagerness to do something, but also becuase he comes across as a bit naive :)

ichthusfish December 28 2008, 01:45:03 UTC

That should say "very intriquing". I really should do my reading and reviewing when I'm awake lol!

shayna611 December 28 2008, 02:30:00 UTC

yay! I'm getting him across well then :)

Sethan's far more of a manipulator than a brute, sometimes (like here) he's flat out helping the good guys for his own reasons.

thanks :)

*muffles self about tying and bondage and etc*

Fantastic. I love the Seth/Kairn interaction. Kairn is slowly winning my heart.

shayna611 December 29 2008, 19:44:49 UTC

yeah, yeah, yeah...

thanks :)

I shall have more of them coming!

sylvrilyn December 30 2008, 03:27:22 UTC

I'm really starting to like your bad guys. And I loved the exchange at the end about trust.

shayna611 December 30 2008, 03:40:34 UTC

thank you =)

I'd only really count Sethan as truly a bad guy. Tristan is a good guy all the way, and I suppose Kairn is somewhere in a grey (or would that be milk chocolatey?) area

I'm totally confused by your timeline but I can't help picking up more than I probably should between Sethan and Kairn.

shayna611 January 7 2009, 19:52:20 UTC

yeah... everyone seems to like to do that

did you go to the index? It has things in chronological order and then further separated by characters. I'm sorry I get confusing. I have a ridiculously large cast and a habit of jumping all over the timeline as I post!

nathskywalker January 7 2009, 19:55:13 UTC

Index? No, I will look for it now. I know how it is to have a big cast. I've only introduced a few characters so far but I have so, so many ...
