Shadows of Myst

Today I've been busy with writing about the Royal Seer. Since this is a bit of a prequel it's been interesting so far in how the word of Myst has developed in my mind for when I wrote the Royal Assassin. I've discovered that the Royal Assassin takes place over 100 plus years from this story and much transpired between these two stories that actually brought a lot of change in Myst.

The Royal Assassin is also more about Reis and Shadowen with Myst being a backdrop in a way. It's still very relevant and yet it's more the story of them and how they will effect Myst.

The Royal Seer shows more an insight into Mystics and Nightelves and their day to day life,their relationships, views and the Royal Court. Not everything is cut and dry and much that happens in this story sets the wheels in motion for Myst. Although since I know even more about the back story that takes place over 1000 years before this one. I gather I could write that at a later date.

Each book in this series will however focus on certain individuals and Reis being in each story at some point. He's a key element to the series and why he's so important really won't be revealed until perhaps the last book The Forgotten Assassin.

Anyway I'm having fun writing today. :)
