Adagio Farce (working title) ~ Sapphire Arc
By: Rita Arthurs Date: June 28, 2015, 11:10 am
---------------------------------------------------------
For NaNo July I have decided to attempt writing the Sapphire
Arc. It so far has the working title of Adagio Farce (I'll let
you figure out why on your own). The synopsis is terrible but
here's the gist:
The job of an ambassador is not an easy one. You have to
maintain your manners, knowledge and fashion to the highest
degree. This is particularly true when you are the ambassador
going to the country of fashion.
The political arena however is not all it seems. It is full of
predators who always seek for a way to obliterate you. Let the
games begin.
When the young and ambitious Marin finally gets the position of
an ambassador of Glenton, there is no time for celebration.
Despite the calamity, something ominous is about to happen.
Marin's suspicions are confirmed when the Sapphire tribe leader,
Marketa, accompanies Marin to Europa. What is Marketa's true
goal however? Just what artefact is she seeking and how far will
Marin make it in the deadly game of courts?
~~~
Marin, I must mention, is also not the character you'd think.
There is a small plot twist I'm planning. I'll let you guess
what it is. The only clue I shall give is that it will only work
if I use first person narrative

Marin is not the gender you first assume?

Yeah, pretty much. The clue was a big give away, really. I
wanted to for once write as a male character. Being a Chronicles
reader, you would naturally assume that it's a female lead, but
I will not state anything like that so this assumption will be
crushed. That or I'm thinking of a male pretending to be female
since mostly females seem to have the leading positions. This is
the reason I used a unisex name 'Marin' (although it also
suggests that it's a female)
Anyway, what do you think about the rest? Any ideas on the
title?

Indeed. Well this is the Chaos world where everything is
twisted. Oh and I have already decided who Marin will be the
reincarnation of. I wonder if you could guess~ (probably not. I
haven't given away anything about him really other than the fact
that Marketa will have some use for him in her schemes)

I forgot to mention - I wrote a small extract since NaNo always
asks for one. This will be the beginning paragraph and gives a
clue about the Chaos world....well blatantly states it, really:
There are many tales of old regarding Britannia. Tales of
bravery, tales of myth, and of course the forgotten tales. The
story of Bournemouthshire is one of the many forgotten, simply
because it was erased from this world by forces beyond our
reach. This is one of those stories. I still remember it from my
past life living in that world – the world of Chaos.
You may just interpret it as the world being in chaos at the
time. But of course he means that it was a separate world
altogether (this is kinda like how Niki is writing the
Chronicles; Marin was basically also reborn in our world
although he's made up....maybe)
