User blog:Brandon Rhea/THE CHOSEN ONE: Chapter 15 released



As those of you who follow my blog know, I planned to release three chapters of Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One and one or two entries from The Alternative Essential Guide to Characters today. I’m only going to be releasing one, Chapter 15, here in this blog, which is fine since it’ll end on a nice cliffhanger and get to wonder what might happen next.

This chapter picks up literally seconds after Chapter 14 where, if you remember, Ussej Padric Bac used an old Bendu ritual to basically zap Sarus, Annikin, and Obi-Wan out of the Ophuchi sanctuary and bring them somewhere else. You’ll get the immediate aftermath of that in this chapter. The chapter, which is almost entirely different from the last draft of the book, is set all at the same location, basically, and it’s basically a chapter of talking, but you learn a lot more. The mythology of the ASWS and the Prophecy of the Chosen One deepens in this chapter.

I underestimated the busyness of the Thanksgiving holiday this year, so I wasn’t able to finish the rest of the content release. Chapter 16 is almost done, and I haven’t even started Chapter 17 yet. I actually wrote the two essential guide entries, but then I realized that they included spoilers for 16 and 17. Naturally, I don’t want to release those until 16 and 17 are released too. That’d ruin the fun if I released them now. I’ll announce the release of those chapters and essential guide entries once I get a better idea as to when I can finish them.

Anyway, without further adieu, here is the fifteenth chapter of The Chosen One:


 * The Chosen One, Chapter 15 - "Choices"

In case anyone is interested (this is discounting cover pages, etc.):


 * Current Page Count: Approximately 213
 * Current Word Count: Approximately 122,968

Special thanks again go out to Solus for continuing as the editor for the novel. As always, I’d love any comments, feedback, criticism, etc. that you have. Feel free to post them in the comments section below. I hope you enjoy this one!

Until next time,
