1. If the main villain of your favorite book/movie/TV series showed up on your front doorstep, what would you do? (Explain who it is first...)
Vahe hails from The Tales of Goldstone Wood, specifically Moonblood, where he reigns King of Arpiar, the land of Veiled People. He is Faerie, a goblin of terrible strength and power. But through his dark ways, Vahe has veiled himself, his people, and his land in a false, but overwhelming beauty. World conquest has always seemed to be on the top of his to-do list. If he's anywhere on our world, I'm sure he has plans of conquering it.
So if he's conquering the planet, what is he doing on my doorstep? I'm pretty sure I would recognize him immediately. There's not many tall guys walking around in robes woven of roses, with golden skin, black hair, and silver eyes, and who are so gorgeous it hurts just looking at them.
I suppose I wouldn't open the door. But he could knock down my door with his little pinkie, I have no doubt, so I might dial 9-1-1. Of course, that would put the responders lives in mortal danger. Maybe I'd try to outsmart him...like that would work. But by this time, I hope I will have thought to pray...pray really hard!
2. Now supposing the heroes opposite this villain showed up just after your exchange. What would you do then?
Woohoo! Prayer answered! But let's say it's Oeric...I'm so ashamed to say, I might scream. Come on, my nerves are already taunt from meeting Vahe! I know Oeric is one of the awesomest, noblest knights of Farthestshore, but he's a terrifying goblin--no enchanted veils on this dude! He's big...really big. So after my squeal of fright, I think I'll go scurry and hide behind him.
Let's say Eanrin came along too. Then I think I just fainted of overexposure to pure awesomeness.
3. So... moving on, the heroes defeat the villain (with some help from you, of course- whatever it may be. ;) But the next day, you're just walking along, minding your own business, when you suddenly come across the same villain... who is now lying in the dust severely wounded and unconscious. What do you do?
Blast it, Vahe, why don't you stay in your own world? Of course, his real body actually is in his own world. If he's on Earth, he must be using the body of some unfortunate mortal as a host, which is the only reason he would now be wounded. I would stop to help for the poor mortal's sake if nothing else. After all, it's him hurting, not that dratted Vahe! Although, I admit if Vahe really was in severe pain and in need of help, I'd probably say a prayer and see what I could do. I'm so noble, I sometimes frighten myself! ;)
4. Now his minions show up and kidnap both you and him and take you to their universe (or version of your universe, whatever it happens to be.) Your reaction?
Gah! Goblins everywhere! Yikes, its gorgeous here. But no-no! The beauty is just a false illusion! The scent of roses is making me sick...my mind is blurring! Soon I'll be nothing but a witless thrall! Quick! I borrow a tip from Lionheart and hold my stinky sock up to my nose! Hey, that's more like it! The enchantments aren't working on me, buddy, oh no.
5. Your fantastic heroes have arrived to rescue you- but now you're faced with a choice. The villain, out of gratitude for your earlier help, (assuming you actually did help him when he was wounded) has offered you a chance to travel back to your own universe. However, the heroes warn you not to trust him. The only other way for you to get back home is to travel with the heroes on a long and dangerous journey... and there's no guarantee that you'll survive.
What. Do. You. Do.
Ta ta, Vahe. Enjoy trying to take over the world with dragons; I happen to know it won't work. You're on your third and final life, buster, and the clock is ticking.
And did I really hear correctly? Oeric and Eanrin invited me to accompany them on a journey??? Gasp-Gasp-Gasp! Yes, yes, thank you, noble knights of Farthestshore! I'll try not to ask too many questions. Oeric will be patient with me, I know, but Eanrin will probably say a few cutting words to get me in line...though he might actually enjoy my star-struck chatter. He might sing for me. One song will fine. I hope he's not too insulted when I interrupt him on his fourth ballad.
This is so awesome! There will be danger and terror, but as long as I'm following the Prince's Path, I know my destiny will be greater then I ever imagined!

What other choice is there than to travel with Oeric and Eanrin? Lol, I enjoyed reading your answers. :-D
Indeed! Over at Dreams & Dragons, Sarah had chosen the Dragonwitch as her villain and Eanrin and Imraldera as her heroes. Once again, who to travel with was a no-brainer. :)
Hannah, this was so much fun to read! And thanks for tagging me--I have posted my answers now. I was thinking of going with Goldstone Wood, but your answers were so good, and I have too many favourite books to choose. So I went with my favourite TV show instead. :D
You're welcome! I loved reading your answers! Hilarious! :D
This is so much fun, Hannah! I would LOVE to do this!
Awesome! I look forward to seeing your post!
Awesome, Hannah! I'm glad you had fun. :D I've seen two tags involving Goldstone Wood now, and I've decided that it sounds really interesting. I'll have to check it out.
Oh, and I hate to double post, but I couldn't edit my first one. Did you do the artwork of the title card for your blog? It's very good. I like it- and as an artist myself, I can appreciate it all the more. :)
The Goldstone Wood series is simply awesome!
And yes, I did do the artwork for my blog title. Thank you! And I saw that you are also a lovely artist yourself!
Once again, thank you for tagging me!
Oh, so refreshing. *Sigh*, a QUEST with OERIC and EANRIN.
Hannah, admit it, you would probably try to talk some sense into Eanrin about you-know-what.
I love your answers to this! Way more detailed than mine, and lots of fun to read! I especially liked the overexposure-to-awesomeness bit; very true! And pretty much all of your answer to #5. You sound rather like me . . . only I'd probably spend quite a bit of time in overawed speechlessness. Oh, and I'm both glad and honored that you liked my tag!
Yes, I probably would.
Hey!
Hahaha I like your answers! I saw you tagged me; sorry it's taking so long for me to get to it! We're been traveling these past few days and I'm stuck with my iPod and no computer. :p but thanks for tagging me, I love to answer questions lol! ;)
I loved your answers! And yeah, I'd probably be more speechless then I'd wish.
I hope the traveling has gone well!
