Chapter 10 - "Betrayal"
dragonsong12 on March 1, 2009
I didn't have a title for this chapter until today, and when I realized I forgot that small-yet-vital detail, I spent a good hour trying to come up with a fitting title…eventually realizing that sometimes simplicity is best.
Anyway, this cover. It's pretty straightforward, the sunflower means “loyalty” in the language of the flowers. One of Tai-ra's major characteristics, so…yeah…not too deep here. XD
Tangent - I'm not a big fan of flowers myself (pretty as they may be, it's still a gift you have to take care of, haha) but I've always wondered why florists don't use the language of the flowers more. I mean it's a simple and effective way to not only give a beautiful gift, but one that has meaning. You could just put a little card explaining the symbolism with it and BAM! - perfect gift. If I even own a flower shop (HAHAHAHA! THAT"S A GOOD ONE!) I'll do that! (I don't like flowers, but I find the LotF fascinating.)
Anyway, chapter starts next week. This one's going to be a bit darker in a lot of ways, so I hope it comes out okay…^_^;
Thanks for reading! See you then!

Love the sunflower. In the summer time when the weather is fine you can reach right out and touch the sky!

Lupina - Excellent! "Innocent" is entirely fitting. :D Cthonic Cultist - Well...we're in part one (two if you seperate the intro, but I generally don't in my head) of a three-part story. I don't think I'll do anything to piss you off until at least the middle of part 2...when I'll probably lose my entire fan base, but the story demands it ^_^; Tantz - thanks! HiNaTa fan - This is the defenition of juxtaposition, isn't it? XD Crocodile - Indeed. I really look forward to working on this chapter, even though I'm a bit nervous about it. Here's hoping I pull it off! :D

she's carrying a sunflower that signifies loyalty right next to the title that spells out betrayal!!! ohmigod!!! this is just the kind of paradox the world needs to look at from time to time. to keep a healthy mindset and all.

the flower and the word made me laugh.

Betrayal is always something that colours things in a darker way. Good cover :)

I predict happiness ahead! They will see "Nareth's" true plans and stop him, returning real Nareth to his true body, stopping what I predict will be a wonderful story ahead of time. Drat.

I completely agree with you on the LoF deal, and Tai-ra looks almost innocent, great job!
