Random Ideas

Each Phase should have like a minny introduction or something. It's pretty small, but there's also a picture behind it.

As this is Phase 8, the start of Phase 9 would be (my random idea) This is the concept, not the actual words:

PHASE 9 [in really big block letters across the top of the page. The colour would be red or white. Below is the words...]

I''f there were signs around your town of supernatural occurrences, what would you believe? If there was a raging bushfire, a mass logging of trees or the deceptive shifting of sands, causing the disappearance of a citizen of your town, all due to mysterious circumstances, what would you believe? Would you believe, with a slight thought of insanity, that they may be because of dragons?''

[The Background Image is of Cora holding the dragon scale, looking at it intently, trying to understand it. She's facing left. She's in the dark forest, with the tree in front of her being the one cut in half (on the left). The picture's dark and mysterious, zoomed in, with Cora's whole body still in the frame. In the background, in the centre-top (or slightly to a side), from within the darkness, are two large, yellow eyes, staring directly at Cora/reader. This is a hidden Timberjack which is looming in the darkness. Watching Cora. Waiting. This picture resembles what's happened to Cora in the previous phase (specifically that one section), and whether Cora should believe in dragons.]

Random Idea 2

This might seem crazy but deal with me here. We've seen sand moving, right? Only a little bit (by Cora).

So, on Day 1 of training, there's Newt, Red and Cora training. Nik, unfortunately, couldn't make it, because of his really strict timetable, and being grounded and all. While you'll are talking about something (that Nik shouldn't hear, maybe?), Nik runs in and says, "We need to go. Now!"

[End of the section. Start Nik's section]

He runs in, and starts picking up weapons, parchment and a few other stuff, and begins to leave. Everyone's like "Wtf?"

Nik stops and says, "You know ____ Larson, the one that's somehow in the Berk Council? (Everyone Nods) Well, her daughter Gina's gone missing. And guess where she had supposedly vanished? Here, on this very beach. This beach is gonna be crawling with Auxillary Officers so we better clear out before we get caught before day one."

"We haven't even used this place yet!" complains Cora.

"We'll come back. Hopefully. But not today. And Hurry! They're coming!"

Newt had already acted ahead of the rest and exited the cave. His eyes went wide as he sees something outside. "Um guys, we've got another problem."

"We've got bigger things to worry about. Can it wait?" Nik snaps back and continues to scan the cave, searching for any traces of them (and admiring the cave as well).

"Well, I don't think she, and her big mouth, can," Newt replies slowly.

"What!" Cora, Red and Nik say at the same time.

"You mean..." Nik says.

"Trista," Red finishes.

"Yep, and she's already halfway back to town by now," Newt concludes calmly.

"What! What'd she see?" Red shouts.

"Well, by the looks of things, she probably knows we're holding weapons and all hanging out together."

"Oh no. This ain't good," Red replies.

"How'd she know we were here?" Cora asks.

Newt and Red's faces turn towards Nik, who begins to start to take interest in the floor. "Hey, I was in a rush! It doesn't matter now."

"We need to stop Tris!" Red argues.

"No, we need get these stuff outta here!" Nik replies. "I'm sure she won't say anything to get us in trouble. She loves me too much."

"Yeah, right," Red replies, sarcastically and angrily. Red doesn't know Trista's a cousin. Red throw her glaives to Nik (who barely survives), and Red sprints off. "Let's see how well your prodigy girl can run against the determination of a persistent Red-head." [I dunno, choose something to say, Red]

Red runs off into the distance.

Also, when Officer Clerik arrives at the scene, he finds something in the cave. He can't directly link it to us, but he knows. He knows that we, a reckless group of teens, are now potential kidnappers, or even worse, murderers!

Later, we have to save Gina Larson from the Sandbuster's cave (without seeing the Sandbuster). We need to prove Gina's alive, to keep us innocent. We manage to do it. But in Clerik's mind, it's more evidence that we were the ones who kidnapped and hypnotised Gina.

When inside the Sandbuster's cave, our minds try to make sense of what's happening. We end up believing (except Cora), that it was some sort of Smuggler's cave. Wherever the smuggler was, we didn't know, but the Smuggler had made the cave, and all the gold inside. (Anyone wants to find some HTTYD McGuffins, add it in the cave!)

Thoughts?

Also, if you want to, you can draw a concept art for a Phase's cover page. (Looking at Cora and Hana). I'd love to see some phase pictures. That is, if anyone's bored and wants something to draw. We can think of other phase's cover images if you like the idea.

And please give thoughts for:

1. Phase Introduction/Picture idea.

2. Specific Phase 9 introduction/picture idea

3. The Beach Cave Nik Plot Twist Idea
