Description

            “Hog prints!” shouted Brutus. Axl and Iggy looked behind themselves to find that Brutus had stopped walking to observe multiple hoof prints in the ground.

             “Great. We must be getting close to the Hogga tribe,” groaned Iggy.

            “Perhaps we should continue our search in another direction?” suggested Brutus. "We don’t wanna have to deal with the Hogga’s unless we have to.”

            “We have to,” said Axl reluctantly, picking up an all too familiar cracked yellow Turtle Beats mp3 player from one of the hoof prints.

            As they continued following the hoof prints, it became evident that they were on a well-worn path embedded around the weeds. However, the scenery was less than welcoming with blood painted totem poles and skulls adorning the path. Before proceeding any further, Brutus convinced Axl and Iggy to temporarily deviate from their mission and equip themselves with weapons. From the materials of the jungle’s natural environment Brutus used his survival knowledge to help Axl and Iggy create spears.

            “Man, Brutus! This is sick!” said Iggy as he marveled over the craftsmanship of his weapon.
             Brutus waved off the compliment. “Yeah, well you just better hope you don’t have to use it. The Hogga’s have been using spears for over a millennium and have mastered their use in combat. To be honest, I’m pretty sure none of us would stand a chance.” Iggy put his hand over the end of Brutus’ crocodile snout “Dude, Brutus! What’s with all the negative waves today?" Brutus frowned and gently removed Iggy’s hand to free his mouth.

            “Not being negative. Just being honest. And Iggy, do you really have to… "
             Suddenly, Axl’s attention diverted from the conversation when his tongue alerted him to a familiar scent causing his eyes to light up with excitement. “Lucinda!” He immediately took off running through the jungle. Iggy and Brutus looked at one another and shrugged before taking off after him.

I'm really liking Brutus and Iggy as characters so far. I like how they each got a chapter of back story, it makes them seem more fleshed out despite being introduced recently. Loving every second of reading this story.

Thanks Scales.

Yeah, having a back story really helps to understand the characters.

Maybe since he's a former wrestler, he'll tear it off like Hulk Hogan.

How many parts is this story going to be?

AxlReigns In reply to Shasta-the-Wolf88 [2015-08-01 23:30:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, just to give a rough estimate, I'd say twenty. I'm hoping to have this story wrapped up in a couple of months. Then I'd like to have someone illustrate the first one since it was never done.

Twenty? I think you're past that limit now Axl, but do as many as you want I enjoy reading them. Talk to you later buddy ^^

I meant twenty more. XD

Thanks Shasta!

Whoa, that's a lot, so about 50-something pages?

AxlReigns In reply to Shasta-the-Wolf88 [2015-08-03 14:25:18 +0000 UTC]

On here, yes. Not sure how many pages it'll make for a book. Guess it'll depend on the font size.

Shasta-the-Wolf88 In reply to AxlReigns [2015-08-03 17:14:21 +0000 UTC]

Probably a lot of pages according what you doing Axl, hey I'm sure it'll be a top seller. And by the way how do you pay for your artwork for these story pages? Commissions or point commissions?

AxlReigns In reply to Shasta-the-Wolf88 [2015-08-04 04:40:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for your confidence.

I'm paying the commissions with cash through paypal. Last January I made a one year commitment to my illustrator to pay her for two drawings a week. I actually plan on this story ending in the next couple of months. Then my plan is to have her create illustrations for the first story at least until the commitment has been fulfilled.

That way maybe I could put both stories together as one.

Why do I have a hunch that Lucinda and Griff are here? I hope I'm wrong...

Well, about Lucinda, at least.
