Unproffessional History

by Ruki

So this morning after having a crazy dream of Ishmael and Isaac, I got a story thing down that turned out to be sort of the history of how Erilea and Urjiy and Yaan were founded... and why Urjiy and Erilea don't really get along. Keep in mind I'm sending you the rough draft. Silindë and I talked about it, and we thought maybe it should be a voiceover sort of thing in First Strike, or the other option is Quoqitus telling it to Elya and Aryn...

***
A long time ago, there was a family of three children and their parents. At the wedding of their parents, a prophecy had been spoken over the family at birth that one of their children would found and rule a great nation. The first two children were twins: a girl, Myurë Yaan, and a boy, Prëon Jiy. As nobody knew which one would fulfill the prophecy, both were raised to be capable of it. By the time Myurë and Prëon were fourteen, they had a newborn brother, Varyen Erilea. All the parents' time and resources had been invested in the twins, so they never really considered Varyen to be a "competitor". A revolution took place in their country, and the twins and their brother were deported to the shores of a new land with their wives and husband. They were forgotten there after the war ended, however.

By that time, Prëon had ten children, and Myurë had fourteen. Varyen had only two at that time. A priest came and spoke to the three. He said the Creator would give them any gifts they desired in this new land at that moment.

Prëon, a great hunter and fighter, replied "stealth". His sister replied "wisdom and longentivity of life". Varyen had been used by Prëon to run errands or such things, the grunt work around the small settlement, so he thought carefully. He finally made a decision. He asked for the prophecy to be fulfilled in his line.

Varyen was warned it would take a long time and he would have to deal with the consequences.

Their gifts were granted however. When Prëon discovered what Varyen had asked for, he tried to kill Varyen. Myurë protected her youngest brother however, and swore she would be a friend to both of them as long as they let her.

Prëon spurned her friendship as long as she sided with the "thief", and took his family to the Coilo mountains. His are the clever assassins and Shadows, and they do not intermarry or socialize with Erileans, being the "victims".

Myurë stayed in the forest with her family, all of whom to this day remain long lived (approx 400 yrs before slowly aging), and in the ruling family there is always a Myurë in reminder of the vow their matriarch took.

Varyen's family has not yet achieved the promise, and a priest prophesied that they would not until they made peace with Prëon's family who swore everlasting enmity.


***
Elya and Aryn and Ruki and Morgal are the keys to fulfilling the prophecy. Ruki is a daughter of both Varyen and Prëon, despite the illegitimacy which was none of her or Leonës' faults. Aleya, a representative of Myurë, can accept Ruki while knowing of her heritage, but as Ruki doesn't know, neither can Aleya. So if Elya, a descendant of Aleya and Myurë I, accepts Ruki as she is, the Erileans can achieve the promised reward after forming an alliance with Ruki (who is the successor of Jiyda, the "ruler" of Urjiy), as it is considered making peace.

Casting Rd 3



Shoshanna
Katra

Okay, our Hylah has been taken away. <_<

December has come...

And I haven't been on in forever to talk about this... oops?

Anyway, we're planning to begin filming over Winter Break. It's been kind of rough here for us... Elya is in her senior year and in marching band and everything. Ruki has been sick and then writing a novel in the month of November (yes, I won, thank you very much.) and it's been crazy.

Thankfully, we have a few more actresses. We're still very short on actors, but as you probably guessed, I don't do well with guys. :) I'm... odd that way. Soon we will have casting pictures round three up...Give me some time and I'll be back on track. We're doing well with the scripts and costumes. It's been easier than it could have been.

Okay so.. *goes to upload something productive onto this half dead blog*

Basic Plot
Ruki wakes from coma, weak. She survives inside castle for a few weeks, then wanders about. She hears of Nightwalkers headed by Ruindae. For three years, she travels, searching for information and finally locates Lei, Tharlain, and Ruindae with the help of Garin and Calanon.

After leaving Ruki, Garin and Calanon are ambushed near Zander's home. Zander, Hylah, Benokor, and Ixianwe rush out to help, but they're too late. Garin lies in a circle of dead Nightwalkers, but the obvious killer was Ydbqz with Garin's sword through him. Calanon is sitting by him, and sends for Turia who is staying with Elya next door. She is given the leadership of the Elves, and though Calanon is unhurt, he chooses to join his daughter and son-in-law in heaven.

A wounded Nightwalker tells who their commanders are and why they attacked Calanon and Garin. Zander tell Benokor it is time for Benokor to learn to save the world. They pack up with Elya and Aryn and Orven and Turia to go defeat the three. Faye and Ruki come and lead them to Ruindae, Tharlain and Leinatan.

After infiltrating the "palace" and defeating many of the half-trained Nightwalkers, the two groups face off. Fay manages to defeat Ruindae, but Lei attacks Faye and injures her. Benokor stabs at Lei, but Tharlain jumps in front of the sword and is killed. The sword grazes Lei's arm, and he begs for mercy, then out of a flash of anger turns around and kills Ruki. Turia convinces Lei to calm down and come live with the Elves for healing.

Somehow they lived decently ever after, and Zander's daughter Ixianwe recorded the chronicles of those three difficult generations.

Basic Plot
Rayen, Elya, Aryn, Lei, Tharlain, Turia, Neira, and Silinde head to Barreck to rest and recuperate after the battles. Orven and Zander stay with Garin to help rebuild Ore after the seige.

Jiyda helps Morgal recover after the wound he received, then releases the ShadowKnights with orders to capture Rayen and Orven and anybody who stands in their way. Morgal stipulates that Neira, Elya and Aryn are not to be harmed. After the ShadowKnights leave, Jiyda reveals her plan to Morgal: to punish Orven and Rayen for betraying her and to finish off the remnants of Leones and Wenelen's family (which include Aleya's offspring).

Morgal goes after Elya and Aryn himself. He kidnaps Elya before the Shadowknights arrive and reveal himself to be Ruki. She admits to killing Aleya, but under Jiyda's command and influence. Jiyda sends Ydbqz after Garin with orders to kill.

Elya convinces Ruki to help save them all, but they're too late and rush after the ShadowKnights. They arrive before Jiyda's intended punishment, and free Orven, Zander, Rayen, Aryn, Lei, Tharlain, Turia, Neira, and Faye. Silinde represses Ruindae and joins against Jiyda.

Orven disposes of his father, who killed Leones and Wenelen. Rayen fights Jiyda, and is badly wounded to the point of disability in his arm. Ruki takes up the battle against Jiyda before Jiyda kills Rayen. Jiyda tells Ruki that Jiyda is her mother. Ruki kills her anyway. Rayen dies, and apologizes to Neira and Ruki. Zander attacks Ruki for betraying everything their family stood for by joining Jiyda. Ruki wounds Zander, and then goes into a stress-induced coma after hearing their parents were dead. Nobody has the heart to bury her, even though they believe she's dead, so they lock her into an upper tower room.

Orven brings Zander home to Benokor and Hylah and Ixianwe. Leones and Wenelen and Aleya bring Quoqitus back up to heaven, saying his mission has been fulfilled. Garin and Elya and Aryn go to live near Zander, while Calanon goes to prepare the Elves.

Ruindae, Tharlain, and Leinatan run off and form the Nightwalkers regime.

Aleya doesn't know she's been poisoned, but the nurse reveals herself as Ruki. She marks the twins permanently, and Aleya dies. Garin mournes Aleya and gives Elya and Aryn to Neira and her orphanage while he rejoins the Rebels as he had promised Aleya.

After sixteen years, Jiyda and Morgal confer and send out Orven's father to bring Elya and Aryn to Jiyda.

Garin finds out that Morgal is after his children, and takes them away from the orphanage and to the Rebels. They meet Calanon on the way.

The ShadowKnights discover that Elya and Aryn have left, and kidnap Neira, and kill Leones and Wenelen who live at the orphanage as helpers. Vlice sends Leinatan to the Elves, and Faye and the others to an innkeeper.

Elya and Aryn and Rayen are attacked by ShadowKnights and saved by Orven. Then later, they are attacked again, and Aryn is saved by Zander. Elya runs away in the confusion, and is chased by the traitor mercenary. She makes it to the Elves relatively unharmed.

Aryn and the rebels are needed in Ore, so they leave for there, and find Quoqitus on the way. Quoqitus explains how he is still alive, and they hurry to Ore to assist them against the ShadowKnight's seige.

Silinde leaves them and goes after Neira, but is captured by Kadre and Jiyda. Her doubts about the Creator are "confirmed" by Jiyda, and Silinde developes a split personality: Silinde and Ruindae. Morgal has the traitor mercenary killed by Jiyda's raccoon, Ydbqz.

Elya and Aryn find each other, then are captured and taken to Morgal. Zander, Garin, and Rayen rescue them, and in the middle of the battle, Jiyda disappears, but they believe Morgal to be dead.

Zander and Garin hear reports of the assassins marshalling in the "Shadowlands" and tell Quoqitus. He gathers the army to go after them. Zander and Hylah no longer wish to stay with the rebels, but a man comes. His name is Rayen, and he tells Zander and GTarin how he killed a full village of innocents, then trained a girl who became strong, but an insensitive monsterlike creation. She had tried to kill them and left to join the armies massing under Jiyda. He wishes to join them to pay a sort of penance he owes Erilea. Quoqitus forgives his son and welcomes him.

Jiyda announces to the ShadowKnights that she has taken Morgal to be her apprentice and eventual successor. Orven's father is angry, and beats Orven, knowing his relationship with Morgal. Orven is also angry, and runs away.

Garin meets Aleya on a lone excursion into Rodrum for supplies. He goes off to war and promises he'll be back.

Quoqitus recites part of an old prophecy as he's dying.
"Two saviors of same unique blood
Together they live and together they train
Keep watch for you do not know the hour
When evil is abolished and Justice will reign.

At the final hour of the battle
She with bow, he with sword
will ride through ranks of Shadow
and disperse the stomping bloodthirsty horde."

Quoqitus names Rayen his successor of the Rebel force and tells Garin to hurry back and marry Aleya. Zander and Hylah leave the rebels, and Garin marries Aleya with Calanon's blessing, and Rayen assumes command of the rebels.

Ruki comes home with Neira, who was left alone in a slaughtered village and in shcok. She begins to help rebuild their home while Neira recovers with Aleya's help. Neira asks Ruki to teach her to fight, and Ruki teaches her the basics. While practicing on her own, Ruki is approached by a man who offers to train her. She accepts, obsessed with finding her brother and wreaking revenge on the attackers.

Morgal escapes the assassins, and is found by a group of fighters who are out to destroy the assassins, led by Quoqitus. Morgal doesn't remember anything but his twin sister who he has to find. He gives his name as Zander, and joins his new friend Garin and Quoqitus. He meets the healer, Hylah, and they eventually marry. Katra joins the growing group of "Rebels".

Basic Plot
Jiyda and Leones married. Jiyda's father (Datfoz) annulled it, and Leo left. Leo traveled to Viyani, where a young man was searching for him. Quoqitus gave Leo the message that his nephew Garin was born. Leo traveled with Quoqitus, and met Wenelen, Quoqitus' sister. They married a month later, and went to live in Rodrum. Jiyda lets her raccoon (Ydbqz) loose, and he kills Datfoz according to Jiyda's plan.

Eight months later, Jiyda locates Leones and sends for him. She gives birth to a girl and names her Ruki in Leones' presence. Leo recognizes that Jiyda's mind is unstable, and gives Ruki to Katra to be cared for during an interval of a few days. He returns home to find that his wife Wenelen had just given birth to a boy named Morgal the same day Ruki was born. Feeling responsibility, Leones took Ruki into his home and raised her as Morgal's twin. Jiyda comes and asks for her child, but as Ruki has become a part of their family, Leones and Wenelen refuse.

A new girl comes to Rodrum, shortly after Quoqitus' marriage and move to Barreck, and quickly becomes Ruki's best friend. Aleya reveals she's a runaway Elf, but insists on staying in Rodrum.

Jiyda begins training assassins from her country to help her take over Erilea and get back her child. There are attempts on Ruki's home several times, and Ruki and Morgal are moved to a safer place.

A young man named Rayen agrees to train Ruki in the darker side of life if Jiyda teaches him how to gain power. Then one day, he decides to test out his powers. He kills his mother and the rest of the village. He believes his father to be dead, and his sister Neira escapes.

Ruki departs for Barreck, where her cousins Neira and Rayen and uncle Quoqitus live, and bids farewell to her parents and leaves while Morgal is out hunting.

Okay, so. It's time to begin the dangerous delving into the world of Erilea.

I suppose we'll begin with the general minor synopsi of the six movies.

First Strike (Temp title): The ultimate beginning....
Zander (temp title): ..... that other one that began as the only other movie, a prologue to Twin Prophecy which we've been working on for a year now
Rebels (temp title): That one that happens after Zander.
Twin Prophecy (temp title): the one we've been working on for a year now that's halfway done...
Death of Shadow: the only one without a temporary title... yeah, you guessed it, the one where almost everybody dies.
Triple Threat (temp title): Hey, there were enough people to make a sixth, so why not?

Okay, for the REAL synopsi, see this next one...

First Strike: The ultimate beginning. Morgal and Ruki are born, and the Assassins begin to arise under Jiyda.
Zander: An attack is made on Ruki and Morgal's home, and Morgal disappears, taking the name Zander when the rebels find him.
Rebels: Garin and Aleya's story, Ruki tries to kill her mentor and runs away, Zander marries Hylah and Rayen becomes the leader of the Rebels.
Twin Prophecy: Elya and Aryn are born, and their father Garin comes to train them to help destroy the evil in Erilea.
Death of Shadow: (nuff said. ) Jiyda is defeated and killed, but remnants of the families survive only to delve into conflict.
Triple Threat: Three new villains arise out of the former team Elya and Aryn had banded with, and now they must kill or be killed by their old friends.

Okay, so that's not even the complete plots for all of them...

But I've got the notebook with me, so y'all will get your exact proper due later.

Allo peoples

Testing one two three? I don't think so...

This is basically the Blog for Erilea Movies (hint, we need a production name, because technically Erilea's the country that these six movies are set in and it kinda gets overused after awhile), which have been in pre-production for a year now. Yes, procrastinators unite. :)

Here's the basic rundown:

First Strike is the first movie (duh). Zander is the second, and has been in pre-production since before there WAS a First Strike (in fact, First Strike is the newest addition). Rebels is the third, and third newest to the Erilea gang. Twin Prophecy is the fourth, but began all the insanity. Death of Shadow has been an idea for a couple months now, knowing we needed a sequel to Twin Prophecy because the bad guy was never really killed off. Triple Threat is second newest, and the end... which we may or may not be looking forward to by the time we get around to filming it.

As for the Plot Synopsi, well, that'll have to wait. Little Ruki's heading off to Kentucky and Indiana for sixteen days with three scripts and the entire amount of work done on Erilea, leaving Elya to fend for herself. IN THE MEANTIME... this must be finished before 9 AM today, so I'd better hurry and work on profiles. :P
