Frankenkids

Just a short note to let you know that if you have any younger brothers or sisters and they like a fun, creepy little scare on the run-up to Halloween (and really, who doesn't?) then my suggestion is to check out Frankenkids, by Annie Graves.

Annie Graves may or may not have been helped out in the ideas department by a gent called David Maybury. The name sound familiar? I've developed a habit- especially in the short stories- of killing off the Maybury brothers in increasingly horrible ways, and the real-life David Maybury is now trying to get his own back. In Frankenkids, the poor boys who are the victims of the terrible Uncle Fraser are named Landy, and the older one is called Derek...

I'm not going to tell you what terrible fate befalls them. All I will say is that David Maybury better watch out. In the next short story, he's getting his head cut off.

Prologue

The AnnualCrown

As of this day, the forty-sixth of the second month in the third year of King Ominous, to establish a country of justice and equality, the AnnualCrown is established. The authors of this document shall be appointed as the first Lords, and King Ominous shall retain his kingship until what is printed here comes to pass.
To prevent revolutions, we hereby create the AnnualCrown, to allow those called peasants to rise to positions of power. Every year, a fencing contest of proportions of which the like has never been shall be held in Raelis, the center of this realm-Frelpasd. All Lords and Ladies shall be required to enter, and any man or woman under the age of seven-and-forty and above the age of ten-and-three may enter of their own free will. In this contest, a series of one-on-one duels will occur, in which the winner shall advance to face a more skilled opponent, and the loser-if he or she still lives- shall return to their former rank and dwelling. When, at the end, only the one and final victor does remain, he or she shall receive a place in the ranks of the Lord or Lady and the King or Queen of the time shall choose whom they will replace.
In an extension of this competition, when the reigning monarch is released into the stream of life, the Lords and Ladies shall have a showcase of strength in this manner, which shall determine the new monarch, and be called the ReigningCrown.
The rules shall be laid out in the fashion we deem nesscessary, and obeyed with no question.


1. Killing shall not be necessary.
2. If an opponent yields, that yield must be accepted, and not ignored.
3. No treachery may be employed.
4. No weapons besides swords may be used
5. No more than two weapons may be employed
6. If a peasant wins, their family remains in their current position.
7. Said peasant may not show favoritism to said family by sending them lordly gifts or visiting them.
8. You may only enter once.



An excerpt from the AnnualCrown Book of Rules

---- Lord Vincent Tucat

Anonymous said...

Chapter 1

Kestrel LeStarre struggled against the crowd, attempting to force her way to the sign-in booth. Most of the people there were taller than her, and older, forcing her to employ the use of her elbows to the best of her advantage. Usually the twin katanas strapped to her back would make people steer clear of her, but not here. Not now.
She ducked out of the way as a huge man with a flamberge of some sort strapped to his back came barreling in her direction. Once she was a safe distance away, she turned and shouted at him, “Watch where you’re going! You could have taken my head off!”
He turned and looked around, but she had already taken advantage of her slim frame and disappeared into the crowd. She forced her way through the people who were milling mindlessly about, and weaved and ducked until she had somehow made her way to a booth with a large red flag flying above it, stating that it was, indeed, the AnnualCrown sign-up location.
The flag looked out of place in the pristine white walled room. The walls were bare and shining, and the floor was made of some kind of black, black wood. Perhaps ebony. The only thing that looked as tattered and worn as the flag was the cracked, burnt door.
“Ahem.”
The polite cough turned her attention to the severe looking woman in front of her, who was holding out a quill for her to put her information on the page. Kestrel sighed and took the quill, looking down at the sheet of parchment in front of her. She began to write.

Age: 14

Name: Kestrel LeStarre

Height: 5’ 6”

Ruled by: Lord Danom Delarke

Holding out the quill to the woman at the desk, she flipped the page and stepped off to the side. That last question irritated her. How could it possibly matter who their Lord or Lady was? Besides the fact that every single one of the people here was his subject and he knew it. The only purpose was to gloat, and he did that enough already.
There was nothing to be done about it however, and so she turned her mind to more practical matters. Such as getting to the door. An idea came to her and she leaned down, making as if to tie her hunting boots, which, of course, did not have any laces. She slipped her left hand inside and grabbed the hilt of her throwing knife. Straightening up, knife in hand, she brought it back to her shoulder and threw it at the door. It hit the silver knob, just as she had intended, and everyone jumped out of the way.
She walked calmly down the newly formed aisle, saluting some of the scarier looking candidates. When she reached the door, she grabbed the hilt of her dagger and twisted it, removing it from the soft metal and leaving a jagged hole. She pushed the door open and walked out, pausing only to turn and blow a kiss to those who remained. The door slammed shut, and as the click-clack of her shoes on the marble tiling outside receded, the room erupted into chaos.
Kestrel, who had paused at what she had deemed an appropriate distance, grinned to herself, and replaced the knife in its sheath in her boot. She straightened up and brought her hand up to her face, brushing her shoulder length black hair away from her eyes.
Her eyes flicked to the left, the right, and then left again. After ascertaining that she wasn’t about to get jumped by an angry mob, she turned left down the stone-walled corridor and passed doors made of broken and twisted wood.

My arms hurt because I do this after school thing called Move 60 and they made us do push ups yesterday. I did the most out of everybody - they all stopped at around nine - but I did 34.

And I could have done more, but everyone was watching me and it was creeping me out.

HI PEOPLE!

Not sure how long I'll be staying. If this wasn't a Friday, I'd be trying to go to sleep, sos . . .

Question. My sister's birthday is tomorrow. Should I make her a card, or should I not bother?

If I DO make a card, I'll do it properly . . . *thinks* Meh. I don't have hours. I won't make one.

Or I could try do a quick one . . .

OH, HELL. *goes and grumpily gets a piece of card* Wbd, drawing.

Star Inkbright said...

Well, this card's going okay so far . . .

Dear Lord, we're stupid... x3

Haha, I'm watching 1D vids. A fan threw her phone onstage and Louis called their mum.

The conversation:

Louis: I believe your daughter just threw her phone onstage.

Niall: It's a pink iPhone, came on about 7 songs ago. We don't know what to do with it.

Louis: Yeah, I'll be sure to give it to her love. Okay love. I'll see you later for tea. *hangs up*

I would have LOVED to see what the mum said! xDDDD

I did the same. You ARE on HP's side, right?

And have you read LOTR and the Hobbit?

Oh. You actually DO like Twilight. *runs away*

Eve the ROCK said...

Of course I'm on Harry Potter's side! I read the Twilight books a d watched the movies, and I enjoyed some of them, but seriously....it's pretty stupid. I can't say that out loud though, because my aunty loves the books. :P

I haven't read them, but I've seen The Lord Of The Rings movies, and I liked them. :D

Anonymous said...

Good.

The LOTR movies are amazing, the books are amazing on a level with SP(not quite though. They're not funny.), and the Hobbit was my favorite Book of all time for a decent amount of time.(Not nearly the 4.5 or thereabouts years that SP has been though.)


Read them. Now. Gets out wand. AVADA KEDAVRA!
