we decided that all the characters will have something from their history. maybe from the prologue, maybe before then. like Rarse has his father's knife.  big_smile

Crystal has her ancient ancient ancient ancient great great grandmother's crystal sword and her grandfather's crystal shell

This is sort of random, but I found another wiki list of Cryptids, mainly land. Here it is:
Land Cryptids

I am gonna put it in the Check out these Links section in case anyone needs it for future books. I know I will. I would put the sea one in the links, but since we have already developed the characters.... hmm

If we are doing a land cryptid book, I will be maltese tiger, or Honshu wolf.

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?

Just quickly, Has crystal joined them by then? If not, maybe during chapter2 my writing part could be a fight with her and the sironment. She loses, and is fatally injured. She arrives at the festival of destruction to find the sea searchers, and when she finds them, says firmly that she will join. ( In chapter 2, can crystal threaten to attack them, and they ask her to join? She declines though)

Remember guys, don't steal the unicorn and Pegasus for the rest of the. Crypyid trilogy.

Death will happen. XD

Perhaps ieu could join for Arabian Nigtmares, and the books after Sea Searchers?

Also, alwill posts Amaya's POV for rarses joining

Yes, (s)he can join Arabian Nightmares.
We'll see about the other books. It would be difficult for SW but we could always do pov of both humand and wolvs if we got 2 more people after that.
Welcome to the collab ieu!!  big_smile  big_smile
