Karion here. This is probably my last post for this year. I will be leaving in the next week for my enlistment. Work on "Break That Fate!" has been put on hold as there are quite a few tournaments Dark Dragon wanted to participate in.
So, to fill in the absence, we (Dark Dragon and me) will be releasing several creeds/words of wisdom for various religions, guilds and organisations in the world of Anozhov.
1. Necro, the Dragon God of Evil - Last Rites
"The living serves as the ultimate nourishment for the eternal dead. Reap their lives so that the dead can flourish. This is the wisdom of Necro."
2. Ribros, the Holy Mother - Blessings
"Fear not and move on. Fill your heart and soul with hope and rid the darkness with your courage. As long as you continue to believe in the path of good, the Holy Mother will always be watching you."
3. Apocalypse, Demon God of Destruction - Battle Rites
"If the enemy charges, punish them for their ignorance. If the enemy stays, torture them for their patience. Only then, will the end grants you strength beyond mortal understanding."
4. Legendio Sondaise, founder of "The Adventurers" - Vengeance
"The greatest agony comes from the loss of love. A moment of hatred will lead into a lifetime of regret."
5. Zeikiron of the Crusaders - Motto of the Crusaders
"Stand firm, do not falter. Stand tall, do not waver. Do not look back, for there is no time for regrets."
Changes to main story plot:
1. Trenas' background story changed.
2. The guilds and organisations are now more involved in the story.
3. Edited the villains.
4. Edited part of Kregron's background story.
5. Changed the storyline quite a bit in the middle.
Alright, that's all from me. See ya all next year! (Maybe I may be able to post again this year, you may never know, eh?)

Anozhov Update
Karion here! How ya all doing? Hopefully better than me, eh. Oh well, I received some news about the story I'm writing now and with the advice of my co-writer, decided to re-write the story.
Yes, it seemed several readers found it difficult to understand what was going on. Others did not want to read it after a certain chapter. This is a BIG problem.
So, Dark Dragon told me to do this: Dark Dragon will be in charge of writing the actual story. That means he is responsible for descriptions and writing the story. Me, on the other hand, will provide the storyline (Dark Dragon gets to be an important part of this) and editing the typed chapters.
With this, I will putting down the blog on the story "Break That Fate!" We will return to it when we're ready and free. I will be joining the army soon since it's compulsory (I don't get it, I'm not their people and they still want to try converting me...) and Dark Dragon is vying for a position in the impending Magic: The Gathering tournaments.
Anyway, that's all from me. See ya all later.

PS: Yeah, thanks to Grell, I get to make good-looking Magic cards! Thanks Grell!

Sorry for being late!
Karion here! I must apologise for not showing the winning mechanic of the latest vote. Recycle is the winner of the third vote while Concerted trailed behind in its dust. Strange, why many does not want to know what is Concerted? But the answer may show itself in time.
Recycle is the mechanic for the Experimentors, scientists with unorthodox methods in creating and inventing. Whenever a card with Recycle is put into a graveyard from play, you may pay its Recycle cost. If you do, remove that card from play and return a card with the same converted mana cost as that card from your graveyard to your hand. You don't reveal the card. What a great way to save the world from the greenhouse effect!
Yup, it's kinda great. I still have a lot of work to do on the set. And here's another surprise! I will now reveal Concerted!
Concerted is meant for the Zeikiron's Crusaders, a guild of righteous knights who seek to free the innocents and the good from the clutches of evil. Concerted is similar to the abilities of the Slivers. I give an example to show what's this bugger is:
---Name: Erados Soulsaviour
Legendary Creature: Dragon Knight
Rarity: ???
Mana Cost: 2RRRWWW
Text: Put this card into play instead of playing it when you pay its mana cost. // Double-strike, flying, trample, protection from non-creature spells. // Concerted (Whenever creatures you control attack or block, they gain +2/+1 and double-strike until end of turn.) // R/W: This creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
Power/Toughness: 7/6
Awesome, eh? Alright, that's all from me now. See ya all later!

Back from Alara Reborn Pre-Release
Karion here. I'm back and I'm pretty tired after a day of trying to sell off cards, searching for new cards so I can build new decks (I just dismantled every single deck I owned), playing in the Pre-Release and playing some computer games with some of my friends.
Firstly, I managed to sell off a lot of cards and made a good amount of money. I haven't finish yet so I'm thinking whether I will beheading down to the Pre-Release on its second day running.
About my performance in the event, I have to say I was completely...void of victory. Though I had the satisfaction of playing Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund to win a match. That was enough for me. I dropped out of the event when I lost my third round and proceeded to selling my cards.
The cards I got from the event was what I needed and wanted. A foil Thought Hemorrhage and a Lightning Reaver. Great cards for my new Grixis deck. Now what's missing is a playset of Wall of Denial for my Extended format multiplayer deck. After that, I have to change the name of that deck to "Denial of Win or Loss". In addition, I have to get three more Wall of Shards.
Later, I went to one of my friend's home for a game of DOTA against the AI. At first, we're doing fine against the highest difficulty AI (We're fighting 3 to 5). When Jun Wen equipped his Phantom Assassin with the right weapons, it was ownage. I was just protecting the towers from being destroyed by creep waves with my Jakiro. In the end, my Jakiro got a lot of kills, a Bloodstone, an Eye of Skadi, Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Boots of Travel and Mekansm. Mock had a Demon Witch with Guinsoo, Aghanim's Scepter and an ordinary Boots of Speed. I didn't bother to see Jun Wen's item build. All I need to know that his hero just owned the AI team with ease.
Well, I'm at home and had an argument with a friend of mine. I don't know whether it's childish not to get the banks to be much more transparent than before, but if it keeps the world from collapsing because of a HUGE issue about money, then it's a good opinion. It's not a selfish thought. Less people would be found being helped by the government. More needy people can be helped if this didn't happen. But bad things do happen anyway. No matter how much you pray, bad things still happen. No matter what.
Oh well, time for me to take a good rest. And then back to working on chapter 8. With that, see ya all later.

PS: I have received my NS letter. Looks like I wouldn't be around starting from 1st of June. Don't worry, I will keeping my story. Just...it'll be harder for me and even harder for you to wait. But as long as you believe I can improve and this story worths reading, I'll be glad to tell it to you. Thank you for staying around. I really appreciate it.

Alara Reborn Pre-release
Karion here. It looks like I will be able to attend the upcoming Magic: The Gathering Pre-release. I was troubled by the lack of cash to participate in the event but a recent card sale did help pull me through.
Alara Reborn looks to shake the entire Standard format. I think it will definitely make an impact in the Extended format as well. Powerful gold cards that probably render certain mono-coloured cards useless. (Remember Maelstrom Pulse. Now think what it will do to decks that uses Oblivion Ring.)
On another note, chapter 8 of "Break That Fate!" is back with me and I'm working to finish it. Unfortunately, I ran into a serious mind-blank and a good rest with ample amounts of water will do good to my tired body and soul.
I've been playing Runescape in the meantime and I'm pretty smitten with the Construction skill of the game. You can build your own home and as you get better at it, you make better stuff and voila! A warm haven where you can invite your friends over for some games and tea!
Anyway, nothing else from me then. I'll see ya all later.

PS: The Magic: The Gathering set I'm creating is named "Daily Anozhovian Troubles". I couldn't think of a better name so I guess I will change as soon as I can come up with a better one.

Winner of 2nd Vote!
Karion here! Sorry for being late! I was rather busy and extremely tired since I've been sleeping late. Incredibly late. Oh well, time to get on with the spoiler!
The mechanic, Threat, is first created by Dark Dragon and then later modified by me. This ability is meant for the Palace of Deals. Whenever you play a spell related to the organisation, the ability triggers.
Example 1: Threat (When you play this spell, an opponent may pay 3 life. If he/she does, this creature comes into play as a 3/3. Otherwise, this creature comes into play as a 5/5.)
Example 2: Threat (When you play this spell, an opponent may pay 4. If he/she does, counter this spell.)
Yes, the Palace of Deals does threatens you to take up a deal, where you will lose and they win. No matter what, they will make you pay if you don't take up the deal or let them have their way.
Anyway, that's all from me. See ya all later!
