... heheh sorry for taking so long
I've been having internet problems for a while, and haven't had as much time as I would like to work on my story (the Master Thief one). Like I said, the whole story isn't going to be this kid running around in the desert, and I've almost completed the setup to actually get on with the action of the story. Sorry if the first chapter or two aren't that interesting.
This is an origins story, of sorts. I'm planning on writing 5 or 6 direct companions to go along with it (set in the same world, including the same characters but focusing on a different person.) The one I'm thinking of working on next is probably going to have a title something like 'Halves of a Coin,' refering to that sort-of saying that two seemingly oppostite things are two halves of the same coin.
Actually, I think that expression isn't that sensible. If I cut the coin in half lengthwise, the two faces are no longer together. You have seperated them (which you're not supposed to be able to do in the saying). But that's just me.
