Our Ranger's Apprentice movie.

In the post where I mentioned that we had made a movie cast for the Ranger's Apprentice movies it was greeted with enthusiasm, and so I've decided to do this post, on what and how we would do our own Ranger's Apprentice movie.

The characters:
Will Treaty, will is the main character of the entire series, he's implusive, small for his age, and is known to ask more than one question all in one go. He's smart, and loyal and very protective. He also has a very nice sense of humour. Sometimes he even thinks it matches Halt's. (No luck there :P)

Played by Asa Butterfield. It is very difficult to find the perfect Will for us, mostly because there are not a lot of actors who could play him who are young enough and could do a good job. I've seen him in Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, (it's hilarious) Hugo (never ever watch that movie! Complete waste of two hours of your life) and in Merlin, (which due to some of the stuff in Merlin we no longer watch). He could do a good job, just as long as he doesn't go gazing into the distance too much, plus, he needs to be energetic and implusive, as they are very big traits in Will's character.

Halt O'Carrick, mentor to Will as well as father figure, husband to Pauline and best friend to the Commandant of the Ranger's he's doing alright. The most notable things about Halt are his sense of humour, his cleverness at adapting situations to his favour, his faith in Will, and the fact that everyone thinks his six feet tall and a giant, with a massive longbow, which never hesitates to annoy him.

Played by Robert Downey jr. I know yes, he's the actor of Iron Man but it was him or Brad Pitt and seeing as he is a extremely sarcastic Tony Stark he could do a very good Halt as well. Plus, Halt is short which is why we ditched Liam Neeson for the role. :)

Horace Altman, the first worse enemy of Will and then best friend he is a knight, clumsy on his feet compared to Rangers but not your average 'bash and whacker' as Halt and Will term knights. He's loyal, brave, determined and would be a good guy to have around if you ever needed protection.

Played by James Franco, possibly, he's a little too old. But we thought he'd do excellently as Horace. The important thing about Horace is that he needs to be loyal, and though not seen as smart is a logical thinker. And I loved him as Harry out of Spiderman so it's a win for me.

Gilan, Halt's former apprentice, an expert of unseen movement, good friends with both Will and Horace, amusing, the only Ranger to carry a sword and cares deeply for Halt. Very sweet on Jenny, too. :)

Played by Christian Bale, this was the first character we nailed! And I think we are all very happy with who we chose for Gilan. I always sort of imagined him like Faramir from Lord of the Rings and Christian Bale would do an awesome job. Important things for Gilan, giving counsel and being extremly good with a sword and very sharp.

Pauline, head of the diplomatic service, mentor of Alyss, and wife of the legendary Halt. She is wise, kind and very smart. She is probably the only person who can make Halt scared. She is also a mother figure to Will.

Played by Meryl Streep we did consider Julie Andrews but she is getting a little old and we thought thast Meryl Streep would do a good job. I haven't actually seen her in anything but I think she'd do Pauline good.

Alyss Mainwaring, Will's childhood sweetheart, and finally wife in the Lost Stories. She is kind, gentle buisness-like at times and can be rather jealous at times. She is punky and fun and I prefer her over Evanlyn.

Played by Jennifer Lawrence, once again I haven't seen her in anything as I am not allowed to watch the Hunger Games, she could do a good job though.

Princess Casandraa/Evanlyn. Good friends with Halt, Will and Horace, a bit of a love triangle and jealousy between herself and Alyss, who finally reconcile themselves in book ten. Wife to Horace (in book eleven) Uses a sling as her primary defence, resouceful, strong, independent.

Played by Abigail Breslin, I've seen her in two movies. Nim's Island and Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. She would do a fantastic job of Evanlyn!

Erak Starfollower, Jarl, becomes Oberjarl, very good friends with Halt, Will, Horace and Evanlyn. Anyone who does somehting he soen't like he threatens to brain with a battle-axe. A good navigator and loves his ship Wolfwind, has a good sense of duty when it comes to his crew and is not a someone who isn't interested in new ideas and ways of attack.

Played by Hugh Jackman, Erak is a hard character to find an actor for. Hugh Jackman could do him well as he is very big and Erak is suppose to be very big as well.

Morgarath, the evil lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night. Gets killed by Horace and is a very big irritation to Halt. He is described as tall and mad. But than most bad guys are mad aren't they?

Played by Jim Carrey. He could do a very convincing portryal of Morgarath especially the mad bit. :)

Crowley Meratyn, old comrade and best friend of Halt. Loves dogs and tells everyone contiunuesly in book eight what a genius he is. He's not modest obviously. He has a good sense of humour and is not as stern as Halt is.

Played by Michael Caine, perhaps he is too old but he's appearnaces in the books are brief and so he doesn't need to do a lot. He could do Crowley good. Hmm, maybe we need to find a replacement after all.

Selethen, the Arridi Wakir of the province of Al Shabah, becomes good friends with Halt, Will, Horace, Evanlyn, Gilan and Svengal when they come in book seven to see about Erak's release. He is very fond of coffee, cares about the men under his command and is very just. He is also in book ten, as a nice additon. :)

Played by Will Smith., he's not very serious but I'm sure he could do Selethen well if he tried. It is also very difficult to find a darker-skinned person as well. :)

Svengal, Erak's first mate more of a secondary character but good, nontheless. Likes to think that he is superb when it comes to joking and is rather kind to Will and Evanlyn when they are prisoners of the Skandians.

Played by Richard Armitage, I've seen him in several roles, Guy of Gisborne (Robin Hood) the first episode of North and South, a small appearance in Captain America and most recently as Thorin Oakenshield. He could do a good job as a big Skandian. And he has a great voice. :)


Slagor-traitor to the Skandians, rather annoying and always looks 'shifty' according to Erak. :P He also reveals Evanlyn's identity of being Princess of Araluen.

Played by Russel Crowe

Keren-Villain of the fifth and sixth books. Until almost the end of the fifth book everyone thinks that the real bad guy who has been poisoning Lord Syron and such is his own son, Lord Orman. Keren is a good bad guy. When I say good, I mean good at being bad. I do feel a bit sorry for him, but then he hurt Alyss, and anyone who hurst Alyss stinks

Played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Okay, so I wanted Benedict Cumberbatch in our cast because I love his part in BBC Sherlock. It's true that probably people could work out he's the bad guy but not maybe, if we make Orman someone who looks just as untrustworthy.

Orman, son of the castle lord. Looks to be the person behind the mysterious happenings at Macindaw and suspected of sorcery when Lord Syron's mysterious illness comes about. He isn't a too likable character, too. And it is really easy to suspect he's the bad guy. He's not of course and asks for Will's help to get out of the castle, he's also a bit more shrewd than people will give him credit for. :)

Played by Tom Hiddleston. See what I mean by untrustworthy, he does look untrustworthy, right? And also I think him and Cumberbatch being cousins could work very well.

Depauierux- The evil knight who imprisons Halt and Horace on their way to Skandia. He's Gallaican (French) and basically controls the area because of the aura of cruelty that he creates by killing all knights that might show a wee bit of skill with a sword. Which is why he decided to pop by and say hi to Horace.

Played by Sean Bean, he'll need to dye his hair or something, but seeing as he did such a good job of Boromir which required using a sword he could be an awesome villain!

Tennyson-villain of books eight and nine. A skilled speaker and everyone thinks he's really nice. But he's not. Basically he's the 'prophet' of the 'god' Alsias and the the only way people can save themselves from all the bad stuff that is going on is to give all the valuables and gold to the 'golden god' and he will save them. Basically he's a con artist people believe.

Played by Christopher Lee, okay well, maybe a bit old but he is a really good actor. He could do the role of Tennyson very well as it requires a rather deep and powerful voice as he a dresses lots of people at the same time. Plus, you didn't think that we would NOT have Christopher Lee in RA did you?


Sean O'Carrack-Halt's nephew appearing in book eight. A good man who is loyal to his king. He's not that much of a main character but I love him.
Played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Master Chubb- Official chief of castle Redmont, has a habit of hitting people on the head with a ladle.
Played by Jack Black


Malcolm- The 'bird-like' healer appearing in books five, six, nine and a very brief appearance in eleven. A good man gentle and not one for violence. Hates to see anyone be hurt, even enenmies. Great at illusions and a rather friednly guy all round.

Played by Dustin Hoffman

Gundar Hardstriker-Wolfship skirl of Wolfwill, good friend of Alyss, Will and Horace, likes his battleaxe as most Skandians do, and is a rather 'modern' Skandian as he adapts to the new sail whereas Erak does not apporve.

Played by Ewan McGregor


King Duncan- King of Araluen, good friends with Baron Arald and Halt. Father of Princess Cassandra, a good, stong man.

Played by Liam Neeson, after he didn't fit for Halt do you think we weren't going to put him in this.

Possible: Tom Cruise as Xander, Orman's rather annoying secretary. Dad actually hates Tom Cruise and he suggested him to play Borsa but he's not really the build.

Directed by: Vellvin, Saxon and Rogan O.
Music by: Howard Shore or Hans Zimmer, some disagreement on this point as of yet.

Undecided roles: Buttle, Ragnak, Yusal, Shigeru, Arisaka, Shukin, Genovesans.


And that's it! I hope you enjoyed reading this post. It's a dream, of course, but a good dream.

God Bless

Four Years...

Today besides being my Dad's birthday, there something important that happened.
Today I have had this blog for four years. Technically, I've been blogging for longer than that. Technically I've been blogging for about four years and two months. Because, this isn't my first blog. Nope, that's right.

My first blog is still up and running. But it's my brother's blog now. http://courtlycorners.blogspot.com.au/
You see, I wanted to branch out a little and post other stuff on this blog (back then known as Courtly Corners, and if you want go check out his blog, too.) but it wasn't stuff that Rogan was interested in. So one day I up and asked Mum if she would please help me make a new blog. And she did. My Mum's awesome like that. :) I called it 'An Irish Maiden' my Mum's, Dad is from Ireland and on my Dad's side there is a but of Irish too. I also want to go and visit Ireland one day. But the thing is I don't live in Ireland. I live in Australia.

To date I have 349 blog posts published (this will be the 350th) and 33 drafts 5 of which will probably never be published. I have been around blogger for a while. Some people I remember from the start don't blog anymore, I've met new people, too. And I just want to say,
THANK YOU! To all of you. It makes my day when someone leaves a comment on my blog. Looks at a blog post I did. It makes me feel satisfied. Like I haven't wasted my time.
And yeah


And will continue to love blogging, and continue to blog until I decide otherwise.
Thank you everyone so much!

God Bless

Dat big number...

Dear Daddy,
Today is your birthday. You 50th birthday! Happy Birthday!

My Dad loves looney tunes. :)

I love you and no matter what, remember that always. Cos it's true.
I hope you have/having an awesome day. And BTW think of all the jokes I made last night about being 50 and remember that I am easily entertained. :)
I LOVE YOU, DADDY! <3 nbsp="" p="">Love your daughter, Vellvin.


God Bless
 

The Favourtie Movies Tag

Jamie over at Throughtwoblueyes gave me this tag. It's actually James' tag and if you would like to go to the post click here. Check out both their blogs! They are awesome! :)


Great video tribute James, I look forward to the rest!
So anyway, further up and further in!
The Rules:
1: List favorite movies (in any format that you like and the movies do not have to be in order).
2: Post my video tribute (above) somewhere in your post.
3: "Tag" other bloggers (optional)


Middle Earth: I say Middle Earth, because I don't just mean The Lord of the Rings, I also mean the Hobbit. From books to movies these have probably been the most well done. I mean, you go have a look at a lot of other movies based on books and they butchered them! Not so with these movies. Peter Jackson and all the other movie-making people knew what they were doing. These movies, the stories come under the words 'fantastic, amazing' and 'incredible'. No go and imagine if Tolkien hadn't written these books, try and imagine a world without Middle Earth, sounds horrible doesn't it? :P

The Star Wars Saga: I love Star Wars!!! Star Wars! Epicness absolutely! Yeah, and I'm also in the Prequels better than the Originals club, too. Anyone who hasn't seen Star Wars, I take pity on you. You don't know what you are missing, and by the way, it's called a light-saber, and they are pretty awesome. Oh and I Anakin Skywalker is my favourite character! I want a Jedi Starfighter, they really need to start inventing those, that and speeders....... "Luke, I am your Father!" People who haven't seen the saga have no idea why this line is so important, Star Wars fans do. :)

The Chronicles of Narnia: Who doesn't like stories of children who go into a wardrobe and on the other side find a completely different world? One full of centaurs, fauns, and one rather nice lion. Yes, I know Prince Caspian in from book to movie wasn't extremely close, but hey, its Narnia! Lucy has always been the one I'd want to be if we played Narnia games, and we have, she was the best character out of the entire thing! And I like Edmund as well. The battles in the first two are great as well, I love it when in Prince Caspian they unsuccessfully try and capture the castle, another thing with Narnia is it's music! Have you ever heard the battle? It's Epicness at its best, that battle is so cool as well. 'Are you with me?' 'To the death.'
Swords and fighting and faith and awesomeness, that's Narnia. Prince Caspian is my favourite out of the three movies. They really need to get those rights back so they can make more before the actors get too old.

The Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise:
Okay, so no kidding, I watched the first movie when I was eight, yep eight. :) POTC is funny, its a good storyline and great acting. Do not speak to me of the 4th though, that was horrible! The first is the best and I think most fans generally think so as well. but my order goes like this in descending order: one, three, two, and four. The thing with the 4th one was it wasn't very sailing, type thing. They ruined Barbossa and some of the stuff, like Jack escaping from the tree he's tied to just seems extremely realistic. Anyway, moving on. The first movie introduces us to Captain Jack Sparrow, he may not be a good guy in some respects, like his out for his own self gain and the fact that he's a pirate and that sort of thing, but he's a bucket load of fun to watch on screen. He would be one of the most irritating, annoying people in real life! Am I the only one who feels sorry for Norrington? Do we have any Norrington sympathisers? Good cos I'm one of them, too! Elizabeth was so horrible.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe:
The first Marvel movie I watched was Thor, then Captain America and then the Avengers, and then only this year, Iron man's 1,2, and 3. The thing I like about them all is that yes, I know they all save the world type thing, but its the WAYS that we want to see them save the world. They could be the most repetitive movies ever, adn sometimes that is what is seems like with me. Then I watch them and though they all have some cliche bits they are just as good as ever. Loki is the one of the best villains and the Mandarin was good as well. Red Skull was a little creepy and yeah, he had a red skull. Then we have the good guys, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Thor, Natasha Romanoff, Hawkeye, Dr. Banner, oh and can we put Pepper Potts in there to? Cos I love Pepper! The best Marvel girl out of the lot! One word of advice with these movies: Get used to the fact that New York city is always under attack, kay?

Boys Town: Boys Town is a very old movie, its black and white and is one of the movies that I love to bits! Its a fictional story based on a true person, Fr. Flanagan the priest in America who opened up Boys Town for all boys, no matter who they were.
This movie is beautiful, its wonderful, anyone else want to be Pee Wee and get chocolate for being good. It's a good, clean story and the things Whitey Marsh does like trying to be all cool and going to the barber shop and putting posters up for him to be mayor are amusing and funny. Boys Town is a great movie to watch anytime, anyplace, it is very, very close to my heart

The Scarlet Pimpernel: Sink me! This is a very good movie! I love this movie. It's set in the French Revolution period. An Englishmen falls in love with a French actress by the name of Marguerite, they are married and Marguerite does not understand why it is he is so distant. While this is happening the daring Scarlet Pimpernel, who always leaves his mark where the heads of the Revolution can see it, is abroad in France saving people from the Guillotine. It is based off two of the books of Baroness Orczy (pronounced or-see) El Dorado and the Scarlet Pimpernel. It has a great start the middle is a bit dull, but its climax is superb! And we don't like Armand, and Percy is the best and he awesome and we like Marguerite as well, and we hate Chuavelin and did I mention he is played by Ian McKlennan? The actor of Gandalf? The rhyme sir Percy makes up is quite catchy 'they seek him here, they seek them...'

The Princess Bride: I've had this movie my entire life! My entire life! It's a family favourite, and you can see why. It has what some people class as 'chessy' or 'stupid' things like Westley being 'only mostly dead' and stuff like that. It's good fun to watch and you can tell if someone has seen the Princess Bride and loves it when you walk up to them and say: "Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." Humperdank is such a idiot as well. Miracle Max is funny, too. In fact in the study (the room I am typing this) we have a 2013 calendar of the Princess Bride and Miracle Max is the one featured at the moment! Oh and haven't you heard that Australia is entirely inhabited by criminals? And that you should never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line? hahahah! I'm working on building up my own Iocaine Powder immunity and I'm not left-handed! Inigo is the best!

Ever After: This is a retelling of Cinderella set in the Medieval times, its even got Leonardo Da Vinci in it. I could practically quote this movie all day! I want to be one of the gypsies! Danielle tells Henry what she thinks of him and so she speaks her mind. Her opinion of Utopia by Sir. St. Thomas More (Sir. St. kind of cool to write that) is much higher than his, he found it 'sentimental and dull' Marguerite and her mother are the most horrible step sister and step mother, ever. That part where Danielle punches her and she goes right acorss the bed is classic! And anyone who deosn't love Henry's speech at the end, is obviously 'sentimental and dull' unless of course they are a guy which in some cases is allowed.

Getting shorter now because I sort of want to finish this.

Add caption

Princess Diaries 1 and 2. I prefer 2 because its got Nicholas in it but these are funny, likeable movies which I would most certainly watch over and over again! They are enjoyable and not too hard on your head like some movies are.

Hornblower: Hornblower is a set of eight movie-length episodes based upon C. S. Foster's books. They are about a young Naval Officer by the name of Horatio Hornblower, they are good, entertaining, nice and historically accurate and Hornblower is a true gentlemen. Archie I prefer of course, but that's beside the point. There are however, one or two skip scenes I think they are both in the sixth episode, the one when Archie dies, *sobs* very heartbroken about that! And Hornblower was the thing that started off my fascination with the British Royal Navy. :)

The Young Victoria: I own this movie and love it! It's the story of Queen Victoria in the early years of her reign, her courtship with Prince Albert and all the things that happened to her. Saxon and I joke that we are Ernest, Albert's older brother who basically looks over Albert's shoulder at his friendship with Victoria and gives him advice. And Albert is awesome! Nuff' said! And we hate Lord Melbourne!

Cars 2: This has got to be one of my favourite animated movies of all time! I know a lot of Pixar fans did not like it very much but I love it, and so does my family. I do not, however, like the first movie, in one word that can be described 'BORING!' this movie is much more entertaining, secret agent cars, and Mater and a more mystery like feel to it that I love!

Kung-Fu Panda 1 & 2: You know those movies where the first one is great and the second is top-notch? That is what KFP 1 and 2 are. They have very good story lines and Po is adorable! The Kung Fu is awesome and everything in it is well done! My hat is off to you, Dreamworks!

How to Train Your Dragon: Lots of people love this movie, including me! Hiccup is funny and Toothless is so cute! The story-line is excellent and fresh and very nice to watch. Watch it twice before you make your final verdict because I remember the first time we watched it we weren't overly impressed, the second time though, we loved it! It has a great blend of funniness and character depth and I am looking forward to the second and third movies! Dreamworks don't let me down!

The Amazing Spiderman: This is a much darker movie than the other Spiderman's and it takes longer to get into but it is good anyway. Andrew Garfield is my preferred Spiderman and Gwen Stacey is soooooooo much better than Mary Jane. I'm a member of the 'I hate Mary Jane, because she is so brainless' club. :D
I've only seen it once all the way through but it was very good, and I am excited to see what the second will have!


So there is some of my favourite movies. Plus, Tangled and most likely a few more which I can't remember at the moment. :)
I would like to tag:
Arda and JT you don't have to do it if you don't want to! :)
NOTE: Hornblower can be both a T.V. show and movie and so yeah anyway, its on here!


God Bless
 

I'm excited!!!

Me and Rogan are very excited for 'Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters' which is being released at the movies in September. I'm so excited!! I hope it is better than te first one like, from book to movie, type thing. :) And Tyson's in it! Tyson is soooooo cute! Gosh, I sound like Aphrodite talking to Percy in TTC. :)


This is the best trailer out of all of them!


"You weren't able to talk sense into him?"
Well, we kind of tried to kill each other in a duel to the death."
I see. You tried the diplomatic approach.” 
― Rick Riordan, The Sea of Monsters

“There was Tyson moving into the Poseidon cabin, giggling to himself every fifteen seconds and saying, "Percy is my brother?" like he'd just won the lottery.

Aw, Tyson," I'd say. "It's not that simple.” 
― Rick Riordan, The Sea of Monsters

“Weapons are allowed. Dirty tricks are expected. But try not to kill anybody!” Tantalus smiled at us like we were all naughty children. “Any killing will result in harsh punishment. No s’mores at the campfire for a week! Now ready your chariots!” 
― Rick Riordan, The Sea of Monsters

“Tyson dropped the two warriors he was about to tie into a knot and jogged after us. He jumped on the centaur's back.
'Dude!' the centaur groaned, almost buckling under Tyson's weight. 'Do the words "low-carb diet" mean anything to you?” 
― Rick Riordan, The Sea of Monsters


I AM VERY EXCITED!!! I'm up to book three in the five books, oh yeah and I'm going to go see 'Man of Steel' tomorrow with my two older sisters. We are having a 'sisters day out' and I'm hoping we'll have a lot of fun.

God Bless

What on earth have I been doing???????

I sort of just disappeared and to me, after blogging so consistently on here for the past few months it felt a little bit strange, but it was good anyway.
So what have I been doing? What has been happening?


Well reading is one of the things I have been doing. Okay and yeah, I've only been reading one series of books recently. In fact that picture of me you see above this is me finishing the second in the series. The series is 'The Percy Jackson and the Olympians'. Probably the thing that started us with reading these books was watching the movie based on the first book. And Anna-Lisa was the one who suggested watching it, and even showed me and Eden the trailer of it, when we went down for the Lady's night and Kitchen Tea. We didn't get around to watching it but Eden wanted to get it from the Video shop and we watched. I've seen it three times now. Gosh, that's a lot of times since just before the wedding. I've got to admit, i have never been a big fan of reading the Greek myths. Never.

The idea of Gods and Goddesses was just an idea which I seriously disagreed with, even if the stories are not true. The Gods were always selfish, 'all about them' type attitude. And that's an outsiders opinion, just so you know. The Percy Jackson series is good, entertaining, funny (Hades is really funny) and awesome (like who doesn't like the idea of a pen that turns into a sword?)

What else? Well, I've been listening to this really cool aduibook written by Gordon Korman. It's called Unsinkable and there are two other books after Unsinkable (which I finished today). So I want my brother to put the

nest book on Mum's I-Pod so I can listen to it! Daniels not dead!!!!! :D And I like Paddy, and Alfie. Sophie is alright and I don't like Julia very much at all!

Coughing, yep I've had a cough and runny nose and everything else that happens when you have a cold. And so yep, coughing still.



I watched MIB for the first time ever the other night. It was very entertaining and funny. 'I'm sorry, was that your auntie?' Best line! :D

Plotting out cast for a Rangers Apprentice movie if we (Eden, Saxon, Rogan, and I, and Mum a bit too) ever had the budget and the means to do it. It's alright you know we've got Christian Bale as Gilan, Benedict Cumberbatch as Keren, Christopher Lee as Tennyson, probably Robert Downey jr. as Halt, Jennifer Lawrence as Alyss, James Franco as Horace, Hugh Jackman as Erak,  Russel Crowe's Slagor, Richard Armitage is Svengal, Will Smith is Selethen and yeah you get the idea. We'll need like a six-hundred-million-dollar budget. Oh yeah, and we'll need some epic music? Who knows how much that'll cost! :D But it was very, very fun!

This was from another day when Mum was reading it to him but nevertheless he was very enraptured anyway. :) 

Reading aloud to my little borther Trahaearn yesterday. I even put him to sleep! We read it like six times! The Boy with a Drum, I mean and I coughed a bit as well Not to mention we had read a few books before that!
And yes, that's it! Besides school and stuff like that.
Cheerio!

God Bless

Does that mean they are going to ruin it?

You know how you read this really good series of books and then you see what the summary on the back cover is and you think 'Please tell me they don't ruin it if they ruin it I will be so upset!' That was kind of my reaction when I saw this:

Okay, so this is the 12th and LAST book in the Ranger's Apprentice series. If you haven't read them then you're life is not complete. :P I've loved these books since like, I started to read and now they sound like they might completely tear the whole series and the things I love about it, apart. So traedgy strikes Will, does it? Halt's alive so it could only be Alyss, or maybe Horace or Evanlyn got knocked off, I hope it has Gilan in it. There was never enough Gilan in them.

This is from the 12th book. What have you been doing, Will?

And Halt is awesome, too. 

But let's look on the bright side, it's only about three months and then we'll find out, and its got Halt in it; Halt is hysterical and wise and awesome. But if they make it like at the end of Inheritance by Christopher Paolini.....well you get the idea.



God Bless
