User blog:Brandon Rhea/THE CHOSEN ONE: Chapter 6 released!

It took me 11 days longer than I had hoped, but here is the sixth chapter of Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One:

When we last left Michael Lars, he had been attacked by sand people in the Tusken Valley and he was rescued by a woman who mysteriously healed him just as he was falling unconscious. The chapter picks up a few hours later, as Michael wakes up, and introduces two new characters in the story&mdash;well, not exactly new when it comes to Star Wars and the last draft of The Chosen One, but they weren't in the last five chapters.

I mentioned in my last release that the fifth chapter kicked off the Call to Adventure of the Hero's Journey. This chapter continues that. We begin to see shades of the Michael we heard about from Sara Jade, the Michael who craved adventure and who found inspiration in the things that could be found beyond the Rim, and you can see that that excitement is still inside of him. He won't accept it right away, but he's beginning to hear the Call to Adventure.

I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts. She'll deny every word of this, but Solus really liked this chapter, particularly the interaction between the characters. For that, she said "It's pure character development, and I love it." If I can get the cynical Angel of Death to say that, then I think I must be on to something. Please feel free to leave your opinions about the continuing story in the comments section below!
