In Memory is the novel I'm working on right now. It's a remake/revision of an older story I had started (Known as Just When You Least Expect It, or JWYLEI ). The premise of the original story about was a girl with the ability to talk to trees (Alice) and her pet cat (Neko), who were taken from their only known home to a new world, where they would eventually learn that Alice is the youngest sibling of a family who's job is to save the kingdom from invading forces.
In Memory changes things around a bit - The main character is now named Anesha, and her cat is Cath (Welsh). The world she inhabits at the beginning of the story is a world I created and am planning to use in later stories. This time, she is kidnapped by a man Cath later describes as Amin, the evil king of an opposing kingdom. Anesha is the youngest member of the family who protects the Magic of her kingdom, on Earth, and was sent away 16 years before the story begins as a protective measure. The magic they used then backfired, erasing her memories and causing the entirety of Earth to be stuck in a time-still state.
When she returns to Earth, Cath starts speaking to her, explaining that all humans on Earth have a sort of visual spirit that takes the form of an animal, and that Cath herself still holds all the memories from their Earth time. Unfortunately, the only way to get her memory back seems to be if she meets everyone she knew from before. Her journey takes her all around the kingdom, and eventually down to Amin's kingdom, as they have to go see him to regain her memory.
Specifics:
Siblings:
Anesha (F) youngest of family, Main Character (Cath, cat)
Kengo (M) youngest male of family, incompetent but friendly (Dafad, sheep)
Kaysee (F) oldest girl, loves to learn and somewhat shy (Wyth, owl)
Adham (M) Oldest of family, took over when parents died (Cadno, fox)
Liena (F) servent to family, became Anesha's closest friend (Cyffel, horse)
Amin (M) Main 'bad guy', leads Coel kingdom (Blaidd, wolf)
Obed (M) Amin's 'right hand man' (Ci, dog)
Symbology is going to play a nice role in the story, but it's all going to be ME SPECIFIC (meaning the sun wont be good times, y'know)
