Hello,
I'm sure you all thought this was going to be a new chapter but unfortunately it's not. It's a challenge. I really wanted to write this story but I don't have time because I'm already doing two at once so I'm going to put the idea out there as a challenge to you guys. So, here's the idea.
In one of the books, "Song of the Lioness, Lioness Rampart" the fourth Lioness book, that Tamora Pierce wrote about Alanna remembering a story about the dominion jewel. It's on page 44 of the soft covered book. In short this is what it is about,
"Gallans hired a thief to steal the Dominion Jewel from their own king so they could rule instead of him. She stole the stone but kept it; she got into trouble and met up with a mercenary. Eventually they became lovers and went to Tyra. Tyra was in battle with Carthak and the noble's were gone, the people were starving. They ended up saving Tyra and turning it into a great city."
The book obviously does a better job at explaining it but its like three pages long and I didn't want to type all that.
I think it would be a great story to tell and I think more than one person should write one because there are so many things open to interpretation in it that each story would be so different.
So please write the story for me and let me know if you do start, I can't wait to read some of them.
Thanks a lot,
Alexia
