CHARACTER INTERVIEW:
This
is a short interview with Arni:
Q:How
did you feel when you first woke up outside of the town Arni?
A:I
was terrified and had a very bad headache and when I stood up the world around
me was spinning. I was filled with terror and just began to run.
Q:What
did you think when you met that girl in the cell you were put in?
A:I
was rather surprised because it was dark and did not realize there was another
person in the cell besides myself, but at that point I was under the impression
I was a person not a giant intelligent mouse. It came as a great shock to me
when Velina (the girl in the cell) revealed that to me. I began to think I had
to figure out what happened to me because I truly felt I was a human being.
Q:How
did you feel when Velina vanished after you jumped out of the sorcerers bedroom
window?
A:I
was devastated. She was the first person I had an in depth conversation with
after waking up and she had become a friend to me. I was fearful of her safety
and wondered what happened to her.
Q:I
guess you never thought that Grumbacher would become your friend, did you?
A:No.
Especially when he grabbed me and pulled me behind the water fall past the
woods. In the end though he became a great help he saved me from a demon in the
hut when the door slammed shut.
Q:How
did you feel when the giant cat, what was her name? Arriane, decided she would
not go with you and Grumbacher?
A:We
had hoped she would come with us because of her acute senses, but she was
fearful of what was up the pass. I believe she also had become somewhat
comfortable in her cave.
Q:Why
did you think the sorcerer was pursuing you?
A:I
had no idea really other than the fact we took his coins. I had no idea that he
would go to such great lengths to try to get us. It kept us constantly on the
run.
Q:When
you finally made it to the town did you realize who and what you were dealing
with in the town hall?
A:I
did not think that anyone could be filled with so much hate and have the power
to call down lightning from the sky. But I was compelled to do what the angelic
being told me to do, that is return to the town with the coins. At the time I
had no idea why.
AUTHOR BIO:
I
wrote this story about 20 years ago and over the last year have edited
it and have had it illustrated by Matthew Marini. Many of the situations
in the story are from personal events that took place in my life and
places that I have been. Some of the situations were also formulated
from dreams that I have had in the past. I have always been interested
in youth fiction and fantasy with morals included in the stories that I
have read. I have been influenced by E. Nesbit and the Narnia series of
books. I have also written poetry in my younger years and a few other
short stories that had an element of fantasy in them. This is my first
attempt at a short youth fantasy novel and thought by having
illustrations in the book the story would come to life.
