Washi no Ojisama ~ Prince of the Eagles ~: Special Edition
Log 3: Frequently Asked Questions, and a Preview
Often I get questions on my stories from reviews, and every few chapters or so I try to answer them. This FAQ covers questions from the preface to Log 28, and will offer a preview of what's to come - including the new end theme.
SECTION THE FIRST
QUESTIONS FROM THE REVIEW BOARD
Q: Who is Jason?
A: Read the preview for future parts below.
Q: Why do you hate writing "history lessons"?
A: Because they're fillers. I hate writing fillers - but these have information that I can't get out in the course of the story. I've stopped writing them because all other information will be revealed as the story goes on.
Q: How did Starla die?
A: I am going to reveal details about Starla's death later in the story, but basically she is killed with her husband during a bandit raid in the desert.
Q: How did the Jewel Riders disband?
A: Again, I'll reveal more on this later, but to keep a long story short, the Jewel Riders disband after Starla marries the Sálíphiran sultan. Without a leader, Fallon and Tamara went their separate ways.
Q: And how did Avalon dissolve?
A: This is somewhat explored in the preface. The kingdoms believed that after Kathryn was named the heir to Sálíphirá at her birth, there would be no heir to the Avalonian throne. Without the guarantee of an Avalonian heir, the kingdoms had no need to remain united, and so disbanded.
Q: Is the teal leopard Spike?
A: Yes.
SECTION THE SECOND
PREVIEW OF FUTURE CHAPTERS
* Jason has obviously returned, and he comes with buddies!
* Jason will also get his own magical weapon.
* New Jewel Riders and Wolf Riders will be elected after the mini-quest.
* Kayle will go through some sort of crisis after the death of one of the Regents.
* A few main characters will die in the final battle - but I'm not telling who.
SECTION THE THIRD
THE NEW ENDING THEME
Sometime after the new Jewel Riders are elected, a new ending theme will be put in place. I won't be revealing the animation until the next FAQ, but the lyrics are below. The song is sun goes down, by AiM.
sun goes down
peformed by AiM
Mou dore kurai no jikan ga sugita darou
Kimi to kono oka ni suwarikonde
Dare ni mo ienai hodo no koware sou na kanashimi demo
Kimi dake no suteki na takaramono dakara
Suiheisen ni shizumu taiyou ga kyou no iro ni somatte miete mo
Ashita wa chigau iro no sekai wo kitto terasu kara
sun goes down me wo tojite
Fukinukeru kaze ga namida kawakashi
Hashirisaru toki no naka de mayotte mo tachitomatte mo ii kara
Itsudemo kimi no soba ni iru kara douka sono tabi wo akiramenaide
- English Subtitle -
How much time has already passed by
As I sit here with you on the hill
For even the broken sadness that you can't tell anyone
Is your own beautiful treasure
For even if the sun setting on the horizon seems to be dyed in today's colors
Tomorrow I'm sure it'll shine on a different-colored world
Sun goes down, close your eyes
And the blowing wind dries your tears
It's alright if you get lost and stop in passing time
I'll always be by your side, so please don't give up on your journey
The next section is a partial dramatis personae, just to refresh anybody's memory concerning the characters. whee....
