thoughts on Sacrifice, my current WIP
May. 13th, 2004 06:33 pmI'm thinking of adding in the Blood Bond thing to my story. For those who don't know (and I'm not an expert-yet) it's a bond that is made by drinking a vampire's blood three times. Apparently in the human world it is done also. And I guess its osrt of like a marriage, but deeper and much, much more intense.
So. The two main vamps are Wynd and Aden, who were separated due to a difference of opinion. They have been searching the world for each other since. In the original, there's no Blood Bond but a Joining, which is a vampire marriage ritual in my world. I like the intensity of the blood bond and it will provide alot of tension and conflict. My thoughts are thus:
1) Depending on the number of drinks, the Bond (herein referred to as BB) can be weak or really strong. I'm thinking of having Wynd be fully Bonded with Aden but Ashe (the alter-the protag) be only somewhat Bonded with Aden. There's a scene where he mesmerizes her and tricks her into having a Joining. Wynd is suppressed at this point (Wynd is battling with Ashe's twin sister Fallon for control of her mind). Confused yet? Anyhow, I think this BB thing could raise the stakes up a notch.
2) The BB also is considered the vampiric "true love." And it is hard to break. I think this could make things much more difficult for Fallon. In the original, Fallon is actually an angelic creature and Aden cuts off her wings. In this version, I'm going to have Wynd take away her psi abilities, leaving her defenseless. The BB will become that much more to the surface when her shields are down. She will resist, but with great difficulty.
So those are just my ramblings on it. I have a slew of other changes I'm making. At first I was just going to add in a new story arc for Fallon, and tell two intertwined stories-but now I'm thinking of bringing in the history between Aden and Wynd.
And, I already have ideas for both a sequel and a prequel. ;)
