Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King

There's nothing I hate more than investing myself in a movie that leaves me dissatisfied at the end. I stumbled upon this movie by accident and decided to check it out, I'd never heard of it, and the only descriptions that I found said it was based of Nordic Legend. A prince slays a dragon and claims a treasure ignoring the curse that accompanies it.

It basically turned out to be a Romeo and Juliet story...in the fact that the two characters die at the end...and never actually get to be together.

At the start of the movie I really had to laugh, Siegfried's family was killed when he was three, he was taken in by a blacksmith and raised as Eric. It's when he's 15 that you meet Brunhil the young queen of Iceland, gifted with great strength from the gods, she was told that only one man would ever best her in battle, and that was the man she was to marry.

No surprises Siegfried is the one who bests her, and there on their lonely battle field after a question of 'Do you belief in fate?' They make love...this is what had me laughing...It just seemed far to random, Way too Sudden!

Still I really did like Brunhil, the actress who played her did an excellent job! And I even really liked the actor who played Siegfried although half the movie I spent not liking him, cause he'd been tricked by another woman to drink a potion that wiped his memory clean of any other lover.

So the whole time I'm going 'Figure it out! Someone's got to realise what's happened' but they never do...*sigh*

The soundtrack was great! am definitely going to have to track that down!

On a bright side, watching the movie inspired me with one of the stories I've been working on. It gave me the idea of a new, hopefully more fluid way to start the Trilogy I've been working on presently titled Stray

Can't remember if I've said anything about it before, but it started with a one-shot that I was working on, and I suddenly realised that it was a part of a trilogy, and could possibly be either book 1 or 3 depending on how I want to set this up. I'm really tempted to give it a unique order, cause I think it would draw readers in. This is basically how it would look

Stray: Cry of the Songbird [book 3]
Stray: The Awakening [book 1]
Stray: Birth of the Lone Wolf [book 2]

it's about as mixed up as you can make it, and being able to keep it this way really all depends on whether or not I can create a satisfactory ending in Stray: Birth of the Lone Wolf cause it will basically be creating a loop, but I want readers to be satisfied when they finish...

I'll see how far it takes me...original works always take me longer than fanfics...I can never seem to just write! without criticizing ever sentence. The Colors of Life is the first original that I haven't had the problem with [or at least not as much]

disappointment, story, writing, original works, stray, movies, music, the colors of life
