Harry: You ain't gettin me this time! (turns into electricity and just shoots through the sky)

Infinity: Lucas go forward

Lucas: K (walks off the building and falls, hitting tons of stuff and and it cuts to the faces of the characters without blindfolds)

Infinity: Holy 🍮 that was gruesome

END OF CHAPTER

CHAPTER #3: ropes and ropes and ropes and murder dogs and ropes

Oli, still on the roof with everyone else but now without the blindfold: Is he dead?

Nate: I think so

Lucas, yelling from the ground: I’m good! Just a couple of bruises!

Oli: What the hell!?

Lucas: should I come back up!?

Izzy: No we’ll come down! (turns to the others) right?

Nate: Do we have to?

Walter: IT’S KILLIN’ TIME!

Oli: (his eyes grow, remembering being almost murdered by walter 2.5 months ago while recording the InfinityPixie Show(you gotta watch to understand)) oh crap

Infinity: (Grabs Oli and runs, occasionally going ghost(making Oli involuntarily go ghost) to avoid obstacles)

Walter: GET BACK HERE!

Infinity: No! (starts shooting a crossbow with actual flippin’ fireworks)

Walter: YOU THINK I CAN’T SURVIVE A FEW ROCKETS? CUZ YOU’D BE SORELY MISTAKEN

Oli: (still in shock that Walter is alive)

Infinity: Snap out of it Oli! (smacking Oli)

Oli: YOU SMACKING ME DOESN’T HELP THE FACT WE ARE GETTING CHASED BY THE MURDER DOG THAT ALMOST KILLED ME!

Infinity, offended: Being dead is cool!

Oli: You’re only half dead, if I die I'm going to the Ninth Circle, which is pretty alright to be honest but I'd rather be CORPOREAL!

Infinity: Whatever we need to trap him again!

Oli: Okay I have a potion for that! (starts digging through sleeves, pockets, and every crevice in his hoodie) AHA! (throws a potion at walter turning him into a chip) take THAT!

Walter: (turns back)

Oli: 🍮! Uhh, I have some mana I could use… but then I'll alert the demons, ACK! WHAT DO I DO!

Infinity: FOR FROGUS’ SAKE DO WHATEVER THAT IS

Oli: Demon magic?

Infinity: Don’t you need two tongues for that?

Lucas: I have a better question, who are you?

Oli: Who are you talking to?

Lucas: Y-you didn’t hear that?

Oli: No?

Infinity: yeah what are you talking about there wasn't any voice

Lucas: Huh, i guess Oli’s potions are getting to my brain, i don’t think ghast tears are healthy

Oli: Nope! Good thing you're not human or it’d deteriorate your brain

Lucas: I am human

Oli: Crap, well prepare for the cushioned cell!

Izzy walks in: hey did you do anything with that cyan rose you found?

Oli: Oh yeah I forgot that!

Lucas: whoa, hold on, are we going to brush past the fact that my brain is going to deteriorate?

Oli: Pretty much

Lucas: Is there any way I could stop my brain from deteriorating?

Oli: Just, try to stay sane?

Lucas: Well it may be hard to stay sane with voices in my head!

Infinity: Guys, let’s not argue, what cyan rose are you talking about?

Oli: (takes out the cyan rose) This.

Random Voice: [speaking in demonics]

Oli: Huh? Now I’M hearing voices!

Lucas: See?

Oli: But it’s demonics, you can’t understand that, it’s actually physically impossible for a mortal mind to comprehend unless of course you have drank demon blood

Lucas: Damn, well i gotta prep for the cushioned cell

Oli: Or a character from another universe needs help but that’ll never happen, right?

Lucas: Yeah i suppose so

Infinity: what about the Demonics?

Oli: Oh yeah, it said something about needing a vessel, endless amounts of power, the rose

Infinity: so the rose gives you infinite power?

Oli: seems so

Infinity: how would you get that?

Oli: wear it???

Izzy: Sounds easy enough! (shoves the rose into Oli’s hoodie like how people wear roses on their suits)

Lucas: So, do you feel powerful?

Oli: No, I must be wearing it wrong

Infinity: Maybe, or you can’t use it

Oli: Maybe, do I need angel blood in my system?

Ms Covenfly: No, i sense Demon magic from the rose, angel blood would do the opposite, you need more cobalt in your blood

Oli: So i need a shot of demon blood

Ms Covenfly: not like a syringe, more like a cup

Oli: That’s what i meant

Ms Covenfly: really? You’re going to the pub for demon blood?

Oli: Yeah the Irish one

CLEAN TRANSITION #6 IRISH PUB EDITION

Ms Covenfly: Are you sure you’re allowed in here?

Oli: as long as they don’t know my age

Infinity: How wouldn’t they, your face screams child

Oli: (Chugs a potion that makes him look like a divorced 50-year-old with depression and scOliosis)

Lucas: Convincing!

Oli: damn so i gotta use something else

Lucas: But i said it was convincing

Oli: And your brain is deteriorating

Lucas: Fine

Oli: (reverts back to a child and puts on a fake mustache)

Infinity: Way more accurate

Oli: thanks! (walks in)

FIVE SECONDS LATER

Oli: I’m full of Cobalt and probably Tipsy!

Oli: Huh? Where am I? Who are you?

Fake Oli which is just what Oli looks like with the rose’s power: You are in the rose, and i am taking your body and identity

Oli: Oh that's why you said something about a Vessel

Fake Oli: Yep! (disappears)

CLEAN TRANSITION #9 FAKE OOli EDITION

Oli: Okay, i have one more thing i can try [SPEAKS IN DEMONICS]

Fake Oli: (Appears against will)

Quick cut to Oli’s friends looking at his frozen husk

Back to the action

Oli, warbled and distorted but still barely understandable: I GAVE YOU FORM AND I CAN TAKE IT! BEGONE!

Fake Oli turns into just a floating rose: WAIT! I have a deal for you

Oli talking regularly now: Okay? What is it?

Rose: Listen, if you let me have a body I won't take yours, deal?

Oli: Oh of course dude deal! What’s your name?

Rose: Rose.

Oli: Cool!

CHAPTER END

Infinity: Land H- … oh no

Oli: What-? (looks up at the FLOATING ARCHIPELAGO) HOLY 🍮 THOSE ISLANDS ARE FLYING

Infinity: Let’s call Rose and ask for another map

Rose: Did someone say “Let’s call Rose and ask for another map”?

Infinity: yes, yes i did, word for word

Rose: Well here's one for a secret menu at The Fiddler’s©? Wait that was found already, uh what about an antique cannon?

Oli: Cool!

Tilly appears: no i already found that

Rose and Oli: Damn!

Nate: Guys, have you noticed that I was moving your boat the whole time?

Ms. Covenfly: (she flies down onto the boat, carver behind her.) Why hello everyone! I heard we are on a hunt! May I join? Carver too!

Carver: MEW

Rose: Yeah i have no fetch quests for you that are your level

Oli: What level do you think we are?

Rose: 2?

Infinity: WE’RE LEVEL 7 BRO THATS JUST MEAN

Rose: Well in that case i have a quest, find a bronze Glimmer in the dungeons and I’ll give you a couple hundred stones

Oli: With that much cash I can afford RENT! Of Course I Accept!

CHAPTER END

CHAPTER #7: Whatever Happened to Lucas?

Oli in a dungeon w/ his friends: so we need what exactly?

Rose: A bronze Glimmer, i have to destroy it so nobody has to get possessed by the angel inside

Dom: I sense beef, you have beef with that angel

Star: yeah, their EX

Rose: Do I give THAT MUCH away when I talk?

Dom and Star: Yes.

Rose: Well yea Glimmer is my ex, but that's not why we have beef, we broke up cuz they were a horrible emotionally unavailable jerk, but later i found out that they straight-up possess people because they want to make everything turn to light

Oli: Okay, I know I’m your therapist but we don’t have an appointment today, let’s unpack the first part Thursday, but the light thing is, just, what? Jeez angels really do suck

Rose: Your tellin’ me

Dom: So how do I open it?

Mark: take this key that is only a key when you hold it (holds out a rock with his single limb, the snoot)

A briefcase of stacks of Stone(this universe’s currency) notes falls from the sky

Dom: Damn we’re rich!

Mark, now a Lorp: Yes.

CHAPTER END

CHAPTER #9: WOMBO COMBOliO

Dom: Guys, along with the money I found some weapons for future dungeon crawling, (hands Oli a Crossbow) I'm more of a bow guy, I don’t like crossbows. (hands Infinity an enchanted book) this is for your Ax, (hands Kiersten a Netherite bar and an upgrade) this’ll make your sword Steel, (hands Lucas a potion) I stole this from Oli but this should fix your brain

Oli: HEY!

Lucas: (drinks the potion) WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE THIS TO ME?

Oli: I forgot okay? :(

Dom: (holds out a really high-quality lighter) and Harry this is for- oh wait he’s dead. Well Ms. Covenfly- oh wait she’s on vacation, uhh Izzy this is for you(gives izzy a ton of spider web stuff she can use for her spray cans) and this is for you Tilly (gives Tilly a Blicky) (gives Averi a sniper pew) this is for your assassinry, and finally Star here is some Human flesh. Now, if we want to test these out… Let's go dungeon crawling!

SMOOTH TRANSITION #13: DUNGEON EDITION 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Oli: Okay, now that I have actual frickin power I can finally Dungeon Crawl!

Dom: Yep! But why exactly are we only bringing the rangers and Star?

Oli: (slowly turns head to a door creaking noise, after 10 seconds of that he looks straight at dom and says) so we can do a wombo combOlio

Dom: Can’t argue with that!

DOM, Oli, STAR, AVERI, AND TILLY ALL ENTER THE DUNGEON

Star: Why are you bringing me?

Oli: cuz your attack is mainly used for ranged attacks due to the slash, also you are literally a ranger class

Star: oh.

Dom: how are we even gonna perform a wombo combOlio?

Oli: Hard work and dedication!

Star at the same time: brute 🦆ing force.

Dom: I’ll combine your answers cuz i am scared of Star

Star: what’s not to like?(also says at the same time inexplicably) GOOD. FEAR ME.

Oli: You also have two tongues?

Star: Yeah buzzsaw accident

Oli: Same! But yours probably involved more violence

Star: Bingo! We should make a series of me doing violent things!

Oli, Dom, Averi at the same time: Absolutely not the writers are swamped enough as is in the dungeons

Tilly while they say that: I’d MUCH rather read that(her mouth falls off)

Oli, holding a pen and paper: much better! Anyways what should we Wombo?

Dom: That capitalist?

Oli: Perfect! I can use my PURE UNBRIDLED RAGE AGAINST CAPITALISM ON HIM

Everyone, even Star, looks horrified

SMOOTH TRANSITION #14: WOMBO COMBOliO EDITION

Dom shoots a barrage at the capitalist, while Star slashes at it with all her might shooting it into the air, when Oli shoots a bunch of Bolts, Daggers, and Fireworks at the capitalist and Tilly shoots it, and finally after it lands Averi headshot snipes it, getting everyone exp if you know what i mean.

CHAPTER END

CHAPTER #10: OH 🍮, ALL THE VILLAINS ARE BACK

START IN A VILLAIN LAIR

Santa, who is a skeleton: We need to Kill our respective story’s Main characters,Cutter what ideas do you have?

Cutter: Cut them. Watch as their guts pull out of their bodies in thorns as watch as they suffer slowly until a death that they will remember in the afterlife.

Santa: I would've expected that from any other Cutter besides YOU, disappointing, Doge?

Doge: FIHouhOUIHFOUH IOUHytDRESftyFYVBU YTDfhgfiUDYtui

Nate: technically i’m not very Villainy, more of an antagonist

Santa: you signed up so this is all your fault

Nate: fair, how about we use an orbital strike cannon?

Cutter: And where the hell are we supposed to get one of those?

Nate: Oli has one and i still have the keys to his Studio

Cutter: how would we use a studio to get there

Santa: trust him, just trust him.

Cutter: Okay?

CLEAN TRANSITION #15: PROTAGONISTS VERSION

Oli, Ms Covenfly, and Infinity are all hanging out

Carver: (flies over to ms.covenfly and whispers a meow.)

Ms. Covenfly: (mutters back to him, all that was heard was this)- Carver go see what they are up too and come back to me. You have 3 hours.

Carver uses his stinger to open up a portal and flies into it. As he does this you see Ms. Covenflies smile twitch.

Oli: What the hell are you guys talking about? Where did you send Carver?

Infinity and Oli look as Ms. Covenfly as she rises from her sitting position.

Ms. Covenfly: According to Carver the villains are planning to attack us all at once. I sent him back to them to spy and report to me what's happening. It is to our very concern that we train in preparation for this attack. (her smile twitches again.)

Infinity: Dear Frog we are so screwed

Oli: welp imma go get my Crossbow and Bolts and start practicing.

Ms. Covenfly: Cutter is one of them. It took me 3 hours to get him away. It will take longer now and we need to actually try guys. I will return from my personal training of my breathing techniques in 2 hours. I expect improvement please. (smiles with a twitching but wide grin very menacingly)

Oli: damn we need to do this quickly, i gotta check my potion stock so i know what i can use to tip my daggers

Infinity: yeah we can hear her tone… i’ve never heard her so angry

MONTAGUE OF EVERYONE TRAINING, Oli IS SHOOTING CROSSBOW AND TIPPING DAGGERS, Infinity IS PRACTICING SLICING/DICING, AND MS. COVENFLY’S SWORD IS CHANGING FORM QUICKLY.

Oli and Infinity are training and they turn to see carver coming while Jacked for comedic reasons and looks terrified with a long scrape on his stomach.

Oli: HOLY 🍮 CARVER WHAT HAPPENED?

Carver: (jackedly)Mrrrow (collapses)

Infinity: I’ll get Ms. Covenfly. She needs to see this.

Ms. Covenfly: see what. (grins widely)

Infinity: AGH

Oli: Carver.

Ms. Covenfly: What's wrong with him?

Oli: well for starters hes jacked

Ms. Covenfly: I could care less. Where is he?

Infinity moves out of the way to the right revealing Carvers beautifully jacked scratched up body laying on the floor. Ms. Covenfly looks speechless and runs at full thunder breathing to carver and picks him up. Her hair is covering her face but everyone swore they saw a straight face.

Oli: Hey, are you frowning?

Ms. Covenfly looks at Oli swifty with a dark grin on her face. It shakes them to the core.

Ms. Covenfly: I will take Carver to the medical room for me to operate on him. I will be back soon.

As she walks you feel like each step is an earthquake without the shake. She is clearly in a bad mood…

Infinity: Damn, that's not good. (walks outside)

Oli: THE HELL WAS THAT

Three hours later you see Carver flying outside with Ms. Covenfly and she is smiling somewhat normally.

Oli: Hey is he ok?

Ms. Covenfly: Yes. I will find whoever did this to him and cut their body into so many pieces they will have to invent a new number for them.

Infinity: OK WE GET IT CHILL OUT

Ms. Covenfly: Sorry, I’m upset right now.

Oli: It’s ok don’t worry about it, we need to start preparing for the fight.

Ms. Covenfly: Almost done pushing my limit. We will train hard

Infinity: You have a limit?

Ms. Covenfly smiles kindly, but Oli looked down at Carver and saw he was pawing a wilting flower.

Oli: I have a feeling this chapter will have some form of manslaughter, probably us.

Ms. Covenfly: Oh, it will.

Lucas: So, you sent Carver to get information, does he have any?

Oli: AH!

Lucas: What?

Oli: How are you here?! You’re not a protagonist!

Lucas: Yes I am (summons Walter)

Walter: It’s KILLIN’ TIME!

Oli: WAIT WE NEED TO FIGHT THE VILLAINS

Infinity: YOU NEED TO CHILLAX

Oli: You wouldn’t say that, it’s almost as if you were written by someone else for this line.

Ms. Covenfly: What shape was that cloud again? Oh, Hi Lucas, Hi Walt.

Walter: Hello, I remember that party a few weeks ago

Ms. Covenfly: Oh yes! I have almost forgotten! It was a nice party. I am doing okay, I feel the justified need to kill the Cutter! (grins) How about you?

Walter: I’m alright

Doge: Not anymore!

Walter: OH 🍮!

Oli closes the distance between them and casts a small spell causing Doge to disappear to Frogus knows where. Walter starts to pet Carver and Carver Hisses loudly and Lunges at him to bite.

Ms. Covenfly: Carver, dear.

Carver instantly stops hissing and trots his jacked body over to Ms. Covenfly.

Infinity: Well this has been a day.

Oli: yep.

Walter: Oli TEACH ME THAT SPELL

Oli: NO

Walter: PLEASE

Infinity smiles at their fight and turns to look at Ms. Covenfly, and sees her start to look upset as if she just saw something. He thought It was just a noise and looked back to Oli and Infinity. Not understanding.

CHAPTER #11: OH 🍮, THE VILLAINS WONT LEAVE

That night they had a bestie sleepover. They all laughed and fought and trained a bit to amuse Ms. Covenfly.

Oli: Night

Infinity: Good night

Walter: k

Carver: Mrrrror

SMOOTH TRANSITION TO 4:43 A.M.

Walter wakes up to see Ms. Covenfly exiting the base. Wings flapping behind her. He Looks at her face and sees she is grinning. He thinks nothing of it and returns to sleep.

SMOOTH TRANSITION TO MORNING

Oli: hi

Infinity: GAH WHY DID YOU JUMPSCARE ME

Oli: Why not?

Infinity: Fair enough.

Walter: Can you guys shut up? I’m trying to hear

Oli: hear what?

Walter: Ms. Covenflys footsteps.

Infinity: Why?

Walter: She left last night and I am trying to hear her come back

Oli: Why do you need to hear her?

Walter: It will help me say on alert

Infinity: well okay Mister “Screw-Grammatical rules”

A while later Ms. Covenfly appears and sits on her bed. Walter looks at her and so does everyone else.

They thought nothing about it and ate cereal.

SMOOTH TRANSITION TO THE VILLAIN BASE

Cutter: I will destroy her cat next time.

Santa: chill we get you hate her, why do you even care so much?

Cutter: Don’t worry about it. Drop it.

Cutter turns around and Santa swears he saw his leather jacket flutter.

Santa: Now I think about why you wear your jacket all day everyday, are you hiding something there?

Cutter: I SAID DROP IT DO YOU NEED ONE MORE REMINDER?

As he said this he teleported behind santa and held his stiff katana by throat.

Santa: DUDE CHILL OK SENSITIVE TOPIC

Nate: What did I just wake up to?

Cutter: Nothing Nate, eat.

Nate: Okay then

Santa: Will you let go?

Cutter: fine.

Nate: We have to find a way to destroy the “heroes” one and for all

Cutter: Don’t make it sound so easy.

Nate: I wasn't.

Cutter: yea, okay.

Santa: you guys need to chill

Cutter: Anyway we need to destroy something of theirs that could weaken them.

Nate: We should also go against our own nemesis

Santa: Good ideas, good ideas, FOR A STUPID VILLAIN

Cutter: I’m losing my patience with all of you. I might as well kill them all myself.

Nate: Wait, don’t leave. You don’t know any of their weaknesses.

Cutter: You are correct, I will give you that. Fine, I will stay for a little longer.

Santa: ok we need to make a plan to ambush when they are least expecting it.

Nate: We will send a spy, but we don’t have any.

Cutter: I have a robot of Ms. Covenfly from our last duel.

Santa; WHY A ROBOT AND HOW

Cutter: NOTHING

Nate: GUYS FOCUS

Cutter: fine.

Santa, ok, we will use this against her, but how will we get to her?

Cutter: I know what to do.

Nate: Alright, roll out.

SMOOTH TRANSITION TO THE BASE(Oli’s apartment)

They are all training together when Ms. Covenfly goes on high alert.

Ms. Covenfly: Cutter

Oli: Oh 🍮

Infinity: HIGH ALERT PREPARE TO ATTACK

Walter: SIR YES SIR

Cutter emerges from the shadows and walks slowly toward them. They all stand in a line and watch his every step, agonizing, but fearful. The only one who doesn't seem to be having it is Ms. Covenfly.

Ms. Covenfly: What brings you here? ( her grin twitches and you can see the veins stretch out in anger.)

Cutter: Why so dull? I have a proposal

Ms. Covenfly: What Proposal?

Cutter: I propose that we can team up and get rid of all the human race

Ms. Covenfly: WHAT? WHY?

Cutter: Think, what do humans bring to nature?

Ms. Covenfly’s angry expression seems to fade

Cutter: Death, Destruction, Extinction. Horrible things, not a single good thing was caused that wasn't a futile attempt to undo their tom🦆erey

Oli looks at Infinity confused. He sees that Infinity is looking at Ms. Covenfly who seems confused but no longer angry, but in agreement

Oli: That's not good.

Cutter: So, Ms. Covenfly, you are powerful, yes? Join us and rain anarchy and kill all who stand in your way.

Oli: woah there buddy, some people are- well, yeah most humans suck, but the only human in our group is Lucas, but i can change that

Cutter: What? You’re a human

Oli: No, I’m a Cryptid/pumpkin or something, Infinity is a ghost, Harry is Harry, Izzy is part spider, Dom is a Domen, Rose is a demon, Etcetera

Cutter: SHUT THE 🦆 UP YOU LITTLE 🍮

Infinity: yea…

Cutter: so, what do you say, Ostria?

Infinity: Ms. Covenfly please show us mercy.

Ms. Covenfly looks at Cutter softly with a small smile and takes a step toward him. Then another.

CHAPTER END

CHAPTER #12: Warnings

Oli(the real one): Hey, I am the Main Writer for Bitter Almonds, i am putting this in because the following chapter will contain sensitive topics such as death, we apologize to any younger viewers but Screw Off you tiny little-

Kiersten(real one): WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU, FROSH! Anyway he is correct and we do apologize for our young readers, but if you are 11 or older then you may continue!

Oli: I PUT A WARNING AT THE BEGINNING THEY SHOULDN'T BE HERE-

Kiersten: I WAS A MUSTY HORROR KID LIKE THIS THOUGH!

Dom(real one): STOP GUYS THEY WANT THE STORY

Oli: Well, should we add some teasers for later projects?

Kiersten: yes.

Oli in a deep voice: IN A WORLD, WHERE HUMANS DON’T-

Kiersten: no.

Oli: but that's literally the intro for Ponder the Frorb

Kiersten: NO

CHAPTER END

CHAPTER #13: FINALE TIME BUCKOS

Oli: No.

Carver follows Ms. Covenfly slowly looking scared and astonished.

Ms. Covenfly looks at Oli and Infinity and smiles softly and then looks forward again. She looks at Cutter with malice and Oli and Infinity(not Walter cuz he doesn’t care) finally understand what's happening.

Oli: oh 🍮

Cutter: Ostria?

Ms. Covenfly: I’m done with you.

Ms. Covenfly gets into a position that Oli recognizes as thunder breathing. It gives her godspeed and seems to be in the 1st form. Cutter holds his long katana in front of him and continues to try and talk to her. Which is seemingly odd for him. Ms. Covenfly lunges and the lighting sparks seem to teleport to him, he doges which seems impossible and turns his knife as if trying to get it into her side. She dodges and jumps high in the air using her long wings to give a strong breeze. This breeze causes Oli, Infinity, and everyone else other than Cutter away from the brush. She does this on purpose and flies swiftly down to the ground and gets into a new position. This breathing technique is called the insect breathing.. This breathing technique is very useful and can administer a high position of poison being stabbed into the body. She lunges again and misses again as the cutter scratches her face with his knife. She falls on her knees with her hands on her face and looks at Oli. Oli is in terror when he sees the thorns start to slowly cover her cheek. She turns and continues to smile as she has been. She takes her katana, and get into a new breathing technique, without warning she lunges and hits cutter in the side. He grunts and seems to get upset. He gets into a strange position and you see Ms. Covenflies face freeze with fear. He lunges toward her and thry feel the heat of the sun from where they are. She misses by an inch.

Cutter: Not so powerful now?

Ms. Covenfly: Sun breathing? How have you mastered it? (gasps) I'm exhausted from you.

Cutter: haha! Are you now? None of your breathing techniques are any match for my sun breathing.

Ms. Covenfly: where is the mark on your side?

Cutter: I thought you knew it. I’m a demon. I can regenerate.

Ms. Covenfly: Oh. Then you are no family of mine.

Cutter: what?

He looks at her looking somewhat sad but shakes it off and goes back into the same position. He lunges again and Ms. Covenfly jumps away instantly and slices him in the arm. He regenerates once more. As Oli and Infinity watch them move they see Cutter jumping away from the sunlight beaming in the shaded woods. Ms. Covenfly looks at him sadly and lunges at him softly and slows down to a stop.

Ms. Covenfly: Cut please end this

Cutter: Your jealous of my power

Ms. Covenfly: I’m not.

She starts to frown and jumps up in the air into the sun and comes down in a flash striking him quickie only grazing his cheek

Oli: Uhhh, wait, I have a prism from the dungeon! (shines the sunlight through the prism at Cutter, mortally wounding him) TAKE THAT JACKASS!

Cutter: (hisses) you little 🍮

Ms. Covenfly: OLI NO

Oli: what?

Cutter falls to the ground slowly and sits on his heels.

Cutter: NO

Ms: Covenfly:(sits in front of him) Brother.

Cutter: I have to kill you

Ms: Covenfly: But, why?

Cutter: So… So.. I don’t know

He looks down and slowly disintegrates and starts to cry

Ms. Covenfly: Oh, Brother, please don’t.

She opens her jacket and it helps block the sun, but not enough.

Cutter: You don’t have to do that, you are dying too.

She feels the thorns on her face increasing and slowly spreading.

Ms. Covenfly: That’s ok.

Cutter: It's not. Come here

She shuffles toward him still holding out her jacket and now her wings. He touches her face lightly and reverses the thorns, she still has scars and injuries from them though.

Cutter: Now that My time is almost over I must tell you the secret to sun breathing.

Ms: Covenfly: Why such a difference in attitude brother?

Cutter: My anger blinded me

Ms. Covenfly: That's all I need to know. What is the secret?

Cutter: Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, and breathe.

Ms: Covenfly: Okay, you can show me later right?

Cutter smiles warmly in her head.

Cutter: I love you Ostria

Ms. Covenfly: I love you too.

And he disintegrates as his life ends. Only leaving her holding his katana. In tears. She looks up at the sun, and smiles.

Hello! AnotherCrowInRow is here with a review of your work :D.
The first thing I would like to advise you about is the length of this work. The thing is, it's really too long - in the Green Room it was given more than 30 minutes of reading time and the time required to read it, which is really a bit long. At YWS, we usually publish somewhat shorter chapters, and if we have a novel in progress, we don't publish it all at once like you do, but we divide it into several chapters - it's much easier for the readers, and it would certainly be better for you too :).

Perhaps you could try to divide the text into several parts and publish them gradually - depending on how long the individual chapters are, I would probably recommend one to three chapters at a time, probably no more, because otherwise it becomes overwhelming.

A little about grammar: mostly I see only minor grammatical errors here, such as small letters at the beginning of sentences or writing several words in a row without a space, also missing punctuation. They are not so gigantic errors, but they are quite common here - maybe you could try reading the whole text again and try to fix them :)

There are some examples of grammatical errors I was talking about:

classroomOli

Kiersten: you said your blood was pumpkin gut

As for the story itself, it is fine and would definitely find its readers, but it is not completely retold like a novel.

Let´s be honest for a moment: Your novel is not written as novel. The way your book is written is not a novel, but rather a screenplay.
If this style of writing suits you and you're into it rather than run-on sentences, you might want to check out the script forums - we have quite a few here on YWS and I've no doubt you'll find one that interests you and can help you progress in writing.

Because I'll be honest: right now the story feels more like you don't want to write full sentences and so decided to just write it all in dialogue. I'm not saying that's bad! This is more or less how scripts work, and that's why I assume that you would enjoy writing those :). I'm not a screenwriting specialist myself - I have some experience with them, but I definitely don't deal with them much and often. Well, YWS is full of people who know how to deal with screenplays and will definitely be happy to give you advice or help!

I know that in this review I've focused more on the negatives and things that could be improved, but that's what constructive criticism is about - and I'm definitely not trying to tell you that your writing is bad!

Your writing is not bad - it can be seen that you know how to plan your story in the long term. It's just that you still have room to improve - and that's what YWS is all about! I see you're one of the newer members, so it's possible you haven't taken the time to explore the whole site yet - and that's okay! There really is a lot here. We have tons of resources here for all writers, and I have no doubt you'll find some resources to help you go!

I also noticed that you are one of our newer members, so: welcome to YWS! I hope you enjoy your time here.

Have a nice rest of day/night/whatever is in your timezone right now and stay safe :D

thank you for your review, I wanted to clarify the grammar errors are a result of this being written by a team of middle schoolers on a doc so that's why, also we had written something in that format previously and we thought it would be easiest, especially cuz none of us are very good at regular books. but thanks for the review! :)



PixyStix says...


also the pumpkin gut thing wasnt in it as far as I'm aware, and the other grammar error you mentioned isnt in the original doc so my theory is the enter got deleted




Don't sit down and write because you're a writer; sit down and write because you have something to say. And if the sea of ideas isn't flowing, well, just tell me about your day.
