Hey everyone, here's the author, as you can easily guess.
I've decided to rewrite the fic now called "Dragons and Knights", but since I hate to erase work, I'm gonna write a different fic and I named it "Dragon Blood", the former title of said fic.
Now, there are a few things that have to be considered in this fic. Namely, the world.
Although I did keep some names and so from RWBY, the world is essentially a new one. I designed it almost a year ago, when I first began writing my story. I will use the names of the Four Kingdoms of Remnant instead of the kingdoms of my book, but the geography is completely different. The Kingdom of Syeh (Atlas) is the a coastal kingdom, and it's where the story begins. The Kingdom of Amyes and the Independent City of Jasvamyyz (Vale) is a mountainous kingdom just above Atlas. The Empire of the West (Mistral) is separated from Atlas by the ocean, and it's an Empire instead of a kingdom. The Northern Wastelands (Vacuo) are above Vale, and they're filled with dangerous monsters and bandit tribes (included Raven Branwen's). And this is the basic geography.
As for Dragons and Dragonbloods, Dragons' extinction is dated back to the Great War, a twelve-years-long war between humans and Dragons. The Dragons somehow managed to pass their blood to some humans, said Dragonbloods. Nine years after the War, Atlas formed a guard force called Dragonblood Security Guards (later renamed "The Hunters". In this fic, Huntsmen), that searched and listed all the Dragonbloods in the kingdom. Then the King ordered to execute all those Dragonbloods and so was done, leaving the survivors to flee North, to Vale, where they funded the city of Vale (in the book, Jasvamyyz), a city known to accept the exiles from Atlas.
Dragonbloods are a bit different than how I described them in Dragons and Knights. Each Dragonblood has two minerals, yes, but one of them must be a non-metal and the other a metal. A Dragonblood grows wings in the span of two years (age 15 to 17), and before that there is only one way to tell a draconic descendant to a human: the eyes. A Dragonblood's eyes are bi-chromatic, continually shifting from a colour to the other. Those colours are the colours of the Dragonblood's minerals. When a Dragonblood is angry, his eyes stop shifting, no matter what colour they are. A Dragonblood wing's span is about 3 yards for an adult (about 2 yards tall, give or take 3 inches) and -folded- they are almost as tall as the Dragonblood himself. To mask them, they usually fold their wings under their shirt -it's painful- and then wear a cape or a cloak to cover the budge in the shirt.
In this world, there is magic. Everyone can use it, but training is needed. A untrained mage is called "Wild" because his magic is wild. All magic is commanded through Dragontongue (since Dragons were the most magical creatures known to men), but basic magic can also be performed with just willpower.
And now let's speak about Dragontongue. I can already tell you: I will show off. I invented a language and its writings and grammar rules, and I will show it off to the whole damn world. Do not try to read Dragontongue: ask me. Its grammar rules are different from English, and its pronounce it's a mix of English and Italian, plus a few exceptions. And it's written from right to left. Just one thing you should know: "k" is pronounced "s". "Kh" is pronounced "k". Thanks for the attention. My username is the bastardization of the words "Khor Evik", and it means Amethyst Silver.
Okay, if you have questions (not asking spoilers), just ask me and I'll be more than happy to reply. I once talked for three hours about it with my best friend. She almost fell asleep... ;)
So, first informative chapter done, let's see how the fic will work out!
Bye-bye,
the Author.
