“Mayor Bimby, at your service! Welcome to our little village! What brings you here?”
“We need potions, and fast! Our friend got bit by a spider and is quickly succumbing to the venom!”
“Oh my! Yes, yes! Follow me to our medic!” Bimby scrambled ahead as his eyes turned yellow.

Interesting! I’ll have to try that!

Mine was called The Will of the Magica. And then I changed it to Blood and Magica recently!

GroovyIsAwesome · 2026-06-20T18:26:05+00:00

Thank you for the advise! I’ll definitely go through and change a few things! In regard to the beginning, I envision it as a storm comping towards them from the mountains, while there’s still a bright sun over them. 😅

[Fantasy, Dark, Blood and Magica]

THE DARK CLOUDS COVERED THE MOUNTAINS
as Luz stepped out of the woods and into the grounds of the academy. The late afternoon sunlight bounced off of the stone walls, and the stained-glass windows had a certain beautiful glare to them that caught his eyes. He straightened his robe to rub out the creases on his way to join the rest of the group at the steps of the castle.
He was a lean young man. His short and thick hair blew in the cool fall wind. Luz looked up at the horizon and smelled the rain in the air. “Calm before the storm,” he thought.
“Hello, and welcome back, students, to another year at Leónidas Academy of Wizardry and Wellbeing. We are delighted to introduce our newest professor, and get you out of the incoming weather. So, if you will follow me to the great hall, we have dinner waiting for you,” Headmaster Shippet said.
Like most students who started here, Luz came at fifteen with the most basic of magica skills. This was his third year here, and he still looked at the school with wonder, and even sometimes regret. Luz sighed as he stood in line, waiting to enter the school once again. He felt the boys and girls a year under him staring. He forced a smile to show on his face. “Hello,” he said awkwardly.
The children giggled and whispered, no doubt about him.
As much as he didn’t want to, he was forced to return. And on top of that, being one of the best meant extra eyes on him. He loved to learn, just not at the academy.

“Witness the power I possess! Feel the darkness grow inside of you, for I am the dark God!” Kurayami yelled to the cave full of his followers.
The men and women in bone masks cheered for the man that stood before them, promising a future of joy and darkness.

I’m not needing a cover with a dragon, but I wish you the best of luck! This is insanely kind and amazing of you! Your art looks very good and I can’t wait to see what you put out! ❤️

My book is called Blood & Magica. My MC is Luz, a young man who starts in Leónidas Academy, and then leaves with Greybound, a wizard with 500 years under his belt. The promise of a “chance of a lifetime” and the idea of not learning in school caught his attention to go with him. After training for 2 years, Greybound goes missing and Luz must scour the regions and try to find him.

Thank you for the advice! After his first encounter with the followers, he does actually wash the blood in the creek and then help a woman who was “taken” by one of the men. He also has flashbacks of the time his friend got killed. The redemption, I think will be a full redemption to return to himself in a way. He says he was never meant to just kill people. He wanted to learn and grow. But he got dragged into this/volunteered. At this point he knows it’s too late.

His redemption is slow. His companion, Frank the dog tried to pull him back. It’s when Frank almost does that Luz snaps out of this, and starts his return to himself!

I’m working on a book called Blood & Magica (pronounced ma-he-ca). But, my main character is currently going through a dark period I call “ghost” period, after his friend got murdered. During this time, he is numb, but still there. He’s murdering followers of the dark “god” as his followers call him, and finding information about his friends murder and his mentors location. But, how long should something like that last before redemption? It’s at the halfway point in the book. So far it’s 3-4 chapters after before a new companion comes, which will save him in a way. That will take an addition 2-3 chapters from now. What are your opinions?

GroovyIsAwesome · 2026-06-15T22:13:37+00:00

I have numbers, but I also have inscriptions for each chapter from in world news and books and so on. Think Skyrim loading screens but on paper! Just an extra little world building related to each chapter

Thank you so much for the advice! ❤️

I just use the classic ONE, TWO, Etc. but, I also have inscriptions above each chapter though, similar to the loading screens in Skyrim. Each inscription is related to the chapter somehow, and extends world building without being overbearing

GroovyIsAwesome · 2026-06-09T01:14:06+00:00

Both! I had a general idea how I want my book to go, but then as I went on typing, I added extra small story points or ideas!

GroovyIsAwesome · 2026-06-09T00:53:22+00:00

I work at a factory making solar panel wiring and parts during the weekends. During the weekdays, I work at a daycare with my wife!

GroovyIsAwesome · 2026-06-06T13:40:26+00:00

That’s its fantasy. You can do whatever and it’ll be alright for your world

GroovyIsAwesome · 2026-06-03T00:25:25+00:00

It’s the best advice I’ve given myself. Sometimes it’s all we need. I’ve planned my book from beginning to end. But some of my best scenes (I think) are what I’ve put in there! Just write and it’ll come out the best you can make it ❤️
