《The Arcane Prince》Book 1 Q&A
Advertisement
Q) When is this returning?
A) Whenever I finish writing Book 2.
Q) What was the Blessed Oath that Max and Hailey made?
A) A promise of non-hostility between them. It was done after several conflicts between them that they decided was going nowhere and benefiting neither of them.
Q) Why is Max's Mana purple? What significance does it have?
A) The color of one's Mana depends on the location where you're born/descended from, and that's it. Nothing special.
Q) Is Max a demigod?
A) No. A demigod's Status would mention if they were a demigod, so you'd have already known if Max were one.
Q) Is Max descended of a god? His last name/kingdom is similar to one.
A) Many kingdoms are named after gods whose domains they closely fit into, such as Kedridal, the Shield Against the Northern Wilderness, being named after Kedriald, the God of Protection and Sanctuaries. I forgot to have this included in Book 1, so it'll either be mentioned in Book 2, or get edited into Book 1 before Book 2 goes live. Max's kingdom is a magic-focused kingdom, so they were named after the God of Magic.
Q) Who is Elm?
A) He is one of a set of nearly-identical quadruplets, another of whom – Ash – will be making an appearance early into Book 2!
Q) Will Max learn powers outside of the elements during the course of the story?
A) I honestly don't know. It depends on how many books the story ends up being. With my current plans, he won't if it only lasts two or three books. They're not things he can learn the same way as the elements, as they aren't flowing in his Mana, so he needs a proper foundation – and probably a proper teacher – for learning them.

Q) Will Max get to learn if the tree that stretches its branches up into the sky is real, and if so, will he see it?
A) Max will only learn whether or not it's real in-story if I do the additional plot for after the first two or three books; if I don't go with the multi-book-spanning plot, then Max will not find out within the story.
Q) Will we get to see other nations/lands in or out of the valley?
A) Yes! Max will be exploring a bit in Book 2, seeking out wonders of the world.
Q) What's the plot for Book 2?
A) Right now, there's no definitive plot. However, I do plan on having Max start seeking out wonderful things to look at and explore. Depending on how things go, he may even get to visit a civilization outside of the valley! There will also be a major fight at the end to show off how badass he is, too!
Q) Will Max ever find his homeland?
A) Only if I go with the Big Journey. The Big Journey plot, which will span multiple books, will be Max looking for his homeland, and eventually finding it at the end of the Big Journey.
Q) Why might you not do that and instead go with only 2 or 3 books?
A) For several reasons. The Big Journey will be at least 3-4 four books on its own, possibly 5-6 or more. Going any shorter to find Max's homeland just won't work for this story, as it'd feel too cheap. As a result, I need to come up with content for each of those books, make sure they're fleshed-out, etc. I already have the basic plots for them, but without the little details, I can't turn them into full books. Ending it before the Big Journey if I'm not able to come up with that stuff will allow me to end the story at the conclusion of a story, rather than at the end of a book that's part of a multi-book arc.

Q) Is there a Max x Colt ship?
A) Not in the plans. There are two possibilities based on how many books the story ends up being. If the story is only two or three books long, then it will be either a boy he's met in Book 1 or a character he meets in a civilization he explores in Book 2 or 3. If I do the Big Journey plot, then it will be a boy he meets on the Big Journey.

Jayke Cipher
Jayke Cipher was, to his limited knowledge, one of the last people alive. The apocalypse was not one that came slowly. When it struck Earth, it came swiftly. The monstrosities that roamed the outside world became an unavoidable hobby of Jayke's. Working from within a heavily defended compound, surveillance cameras and a plethora of subject material only cultivated an interest in strange creatures. Survival became lonely. Sanity was kept by indulging offhand desires, fulfilling flights of fancy when reasonable. When the compound is breached and all other options exhausted his only option becomes the pod. A mysterious capsule intended for virtual reality. Its producer, in light of the apocalypse, had released early. Months back he had ignored the last news broadcast regarding the pod and its promises. He knew it only as suicide. But better that than being eaten alive.

Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.
