I don't really know why, for more than a few years back, that I have kinda declared it as my favorite quote. Pretty much what I understand is that a hero is a person that will challenge others that are at the top and will gather others that is in full support of his beliefs to make sure things will happen. I can also understand a tiny bit of where this quote is coming from as well since Norman Mailer is a journalist. However, I totally agree with this quote and I kinda want to try to play out in my story what has been called, The Unexpected for the last few years. I actually would like to retitle the story as Awaken the Devils. Of course a lot of things in this story has to be put down than just filling my mind but I don't see anything really that as to be reworked that much. In a sense, I think AtD (or do you want me to still call it The Unexpected for the time being?) has been going in that direction for those few years.

I used to have a story called Alethra. Completely different cast of characters but in a sense was similar since both was supposedly having the main character and friends exploring different lands. I dunno why I went with AtD instead considering Alethra is even older than Dolce o Amara...where AtD is the youngest. Also strange how I hate politics but AtD will consist of islands having different governments and rules where in Alethra, the land was divided by elements and their element kings instead. Actually I may put Alethra to pop in somewhere just to put a little tribute in AtD where I plan to put the Arularians somewhere in Dolce o Amara.

Talking about Alethra, this is what I wrote one day... ;p

This was when I believe I really started to get ideas in my head back when I was 14. The story is about this prince of an island. This island is the 'perfect paradise' in this world and because of that, Alethra has been protected by the dangers and such of the outside world. However, that doesn't mean that the paradise will forever be this way. One of his best friends, his loyal knight and guardian, has been putting his 10-year overthrow in effect. Also another adviser to the king wants control of the island.

Well, one day, an 'incident' cause his to go overboard and take shelter in one of the Forbidden Islands. (I so have to change that name.) He meets up with a human, from our world, trying to get home as he try to remember what exactly happened to him that day and why. That is part one.

Part two is when he turned evil and finally the human meets up with his old friends.

Part three is when he becomes a hero to the rest of the world and finally has 'grown up'.
