User blog:Brandon Rhea/THE CHOSEN ONE: Chapters 13, 14 and Essential Guide released

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him."

-, 1:7



Now you may be asking yourself, why is Brandon quoting the in a blog posting? Well the answer to that is simple. Well, simple, painful, and worrisome, but simple nonetheless. You ready to find out what it is? I warn you, you may not like the answer.

It’s the apocalypse. Yes, that’s right, the apocalypse. Four horsemen, red oceans, fiery skies. The greatest hits. I know you may be scared, but, like it or not, it’s apocalypse now.

How do I know it’s the apocalypse? Well, I just met a deadline for a content release with The Chosen One, which means I’m actually putting out some TCO content! Wooo! Or, wait...booo? I’ve always said that I’d finish TCO by the apocalypse, so if I’m releasing content that means I’m getting closer to the end of the book. That means the end is nigh.

While we’re waiting for Jesus to come back, like I said I have some content to release! What I’ve released are chapters 13 and 14 of The Chosen One, as well as the first entry into The Alternative Essential Guide to Characters. Chapters 13 and 14 are still on Tatooine and deal with the continuing story of Annikin and his destiny. The end of Chapter 14 has an appearance by arguably one of the more well known characters on this wiki, which was a treat for me to write considering who it is. When you get there, you’ll know where I’m coming from by saying that.

The Alternative Essential Guide to Characters is written as an entry into the Journal of the Whills, which you also learn a little bit more about in the introduction. The guide is “written” in-universe by the Whill Duseuso, who appeared in the TCO prologue. After the introduction, which I wrote, is the first entry, about Antidar Williams. This entry was written by Nightmare975 through the Alternative Saga What’s the Story? contest. It was fleshed out a little bit by me, but Nightmare gets the credit for the entry as a whole. Like with TCO, I’m also releasing this guide in two ways: as a whole book, and in individual segments for ease of reading and downloading.

Anyway, without any further adieu, here are the entries:


 * The Chosen One, Chapter 13 - “What You Take With You”
 * The Chosen One, Chapter 14 - “Shadow Hunter”
 * The Alternative Essential Guide to Characters
 * The Alternative Essential Guide to Characters - “Antidar Williams”

You’ll notice that Chapter 15 isn’t in here like I hoped. Understandably, Solus, who once again did a great job both editing and asking lots of questions to make sure everything was the highest possible quality, wasn’t able to get to editing the chapter, as I just completed it today. Chapter 15, therefore, will be included in my next content release, which I will announce once I get an idea of when I can release it. That content release will conclude the Tatooine arc.

Anyway, as always I’d love to hear your feedback. I think these chapters came out very well and I worked hard to make them the highest possible quality, particularly Chapter 13 which dives into both real-world and Alternative Saga mythology and has a lot of (what I feel is) deep meaning to it. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below, because I’d love to discuss the chapters with you.

Until next time,
