[Novelist1982]

Well executioneer,

It sure the hell doesn't take place in present day (that would make for a sucky fantasy adventure considering the small mention of elves and dragons in the book).

It is a story set in a mystical world of the usual creatures spoken of in all the good fantasy stories, but the main point is that it is not present day. Yes, there are creatures, but their presence does not play much of a factor in this one.

The necromancer is the real threat. He has the power to reanimate corpses and taunt his victims with mind games. His plot is to raise an army of the dead to do his bidding. He has a great backstory, and it goes beyond the first "Ariona" book.

I have already invested a good deal of time on the sequel, which delves deep into the backstory of the necromancer and how he was the cause of the death of Ariona'a father.

As it stands, I put the sequel on hold. I am currently at a stale mate: should it be a choice-based interactive book or a regular novel? If it would be interactive, it would allow for fascinating alternatives to the basic premise. However, the story would be much more fleshed out and have excellent characterization if I wrote it as a typical fantasy novel.

I am awaiting to hear comments from readers as to which format it should be written.
