Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

Here's a little snipet of Chapter 3:

It had been 6 months since the attack on Bual. With each full moon, Epher had traveled to the shore, shed his skin as a seal, and transformed into a human. What was the method behind his madness? Epher went to spy on the evil race of man, learn from them secrets, hoping one would someday lead to the death of the race.
    “I’m going up to the surface tonight,” Epher casually commented to Amaya, before taking another chunk out of the tuna Coil had caught for them.
    “Tonight is the Festival of Destruction.” Amaya reminded. “Whatever it is can wait until tomorrow.”
    “It’s not called the ‘Festival of Destruction’; it’s called the Festival of Cryptids. It’s where they celebrate deaths and discoveries of Cryptids, and plan more destruction.” Epher replied. His mother had explained it all to him one night, a few weeks before the death of Bual. According to Moria, she had been up to the Festival a couple of times before. The images put in his head were horrid…men brandishing spears and torches, chanting, throwing fire in the sea…
    “And your point being?”
    Epher ignored her. “There will be tanks,” he said, remembering back to the exact wording of his mother. “And the tanks will have Selkies, and Merpeople, and other legendary sea creatures of all kind.” Epher paused. “Amaya, what if I find your mom? I could set her free.”
    “The divers took her,” Amaya said. “No matter how much I wish to see my mother again, it will not happen.” Amaya looked away for a moment, obviously containing tears.
    “Either way, I’m going.” Epher said awkwardly, wishing he hadn’t brought Amaya or her mother into his spying missions. “I’ll be careful. They won’t recognize me.”
    “No, no, because Seals just shed their skins to become a human any old day. No problem, they see that all the time and won’t bother questioning it.”
    “Exactly. Can I go now?”
    “Fine. But you better go right now, before you find yourself a human earlier than expected.”
    Epher looked behind his shoulder to see if she was joking, then grinned at her. “Don’t worry! I’ll be fine!”
    Famous last words.

How much longer do you think it should be approx.? 4-5 pages or less or more?

Yeah, Good idea! I was thinking they would realize that Epher was a Selkie and their was going to be some sort of epic chase scene, but I couldn't decided what. How much longer do you think it should be?

Oh  sad  Oh well, we dont need it right away anymore. Too bad we couldnt make a new one saying Arabian Nightmares. I put the Arabian Nightmares in the news column. Anyone with a horror story can participate in Nightmares
