As most of you know I'm writing my own interpretation of the Something Wicked story. I finished Chapter 2 on the sixth. Today I opened up Word to work on Chap 3 - Hidden Beast, which will cover the plot from A Charge to Keep up until the Elder's execution. Obviously, this will be one of the most long and exhilarating chapters.
My question is, who do you think Jon was impersonating when he wrote the lyrics to A Charge to Keep? Do you think it was a human soldier, perhaps the general of the army, or do you think it was a leader of a Setian attack group? Give me your opinions on this and any other general advice I should take in before tackling this monster of a chapter.
NightCrawler
I'm very sure, that it's written in the leader of the Setian Survivors' perspective. Reading the second verse again, I think more and more that I'm right with this idea. And the only advice I can give to you is: let yourself time, don't try to hurry. That's (for me) the most important part in writing. Trying to finish it as fast as possible would make it kind of "incomplete". But I guess you know that one already.
By the way, very nice work you've done with the story, really like it.
The Wicked One
From what I thought.
A Charge to Keep was the Setian who was just elected or chosen by the mass crowd of surviving Setians to be the new high priest, or leader elder.
execution: the last of the elders is slain when the interrogation does not give the humans what they desire.
Then Order of the Rose appears from the perspective of a scout observing as the humans search for the power to fold time and space. Which helps relate the prophecy to wipe the minds of man clean and then brainwash them with religion.
Then finally in Reflection its the Leader of the Setian underground reviews the stress and responsibility he has.
TTS basically a proclamation to his ppl to begin the ritual known as the clouding. basically a state of address/motivational speech
