Which of the following three titles should I use?
The plot is briefly about a guy, Max Tyler, who discovers quite by accident and much to his disgust that his dad’s new girlfriend (his parents got a divorce a long time ago) is a vampire. Abhored, he runs away to his friends place, Wilfred Hanley, who’s a computer geak, walking encyclopedia, and an avid fantasy and mythology fan. He’s your overall know-it-all. When he musters up the courage to tell him, he is surprised to discover that Wilfred is not at all shocked and is well aware of the fact (this is all a work of fiction by the way) that vampires do exist. (also, they live in London, England)
Max also finds out from Wilfred that different races of vampires, amongst other “fantasy” creatures, have invaded England over the years. The most prominant of vampiric invasions have been the Vikings. Then there were also the werewolves who were the Picts and Scots. The Romans were Centaurs and Satyrs; and William the Conquerer and his gangs that followed were elves.
Upon asking who lived in England before all the invasions, he learns that it was the fae or faerie (plural), sprites, and pixies who lived there. Africa is populated by the half-dogs, half-men guys and the states is populated by something else (have to see what fits). Dragons have always lived in England and almost every other country in the world. Russia and those kind of countries were populated by fierce shapshifters, men who changed to bears in battle, whilst China, India, and Australia where populated by ogres, trolls, and land-krakens (top half are men and the bottom half are like octapuses).
When asking why so many races raided and invaded England, he finds out that they were searching for Excalibur: the Sword of Kings. Yes. Believe it or not, whoever holds the sword can easily ward off any races (especially vampires) and the man who holds the sword will reign for eternity until the sword is taken away from him or he is killed in battle. However, the sword mostly protects him unless he is shot by an arrow or some such thing.
He then finds out that the Sword of Kings was forged to beat back the first vampiric invasion when King Arthur was in power. The Centaurs and Satyrs had left (mostly) England because their own kingdom was under attack by the werebears and other vampires. Also, they missed the warm climate of their home. So it was that Merlin the Magician arose and forged Excalibur. They were unable to make the sword prior because the Romans were in power and controlled the weaponry. Also, all magic and worship (to other gods than those the Centaurs and Satyrs payed homage to) where banned throughout the Romanic Empire.
Unfortunately, Excalibur broke during the battle between the vampires because they used demonic powers from the Underworld. Eventually, King Arthur and the faerie kingdom won and the vampires retreated for a time. Sadly, the Summer King died with the sword because their lifelines were linked. When that happened, the vampires re-invaded England. They mainly raided the coast because they were wary that the faerie stil might have had a sword like Excalibur.
They did not. When Max asks what all this has to do with his present time and how he can get rid of his dad’s girlfriend before she turns on him, Wilfred tells him that he believes Excalibur was buried with King Arthur in the center of the Stonehenge in Salisbury Plain. Also, the vampires across the world have forged an alliance with themselves and all the other demonic races against the faerie, Centaurs, and the Satyrs who must now band together to defeat them.
The only way to push back the invasion is by finding Excalibur. Max also learns that King Arthur is his distant anscestor and he is the only living person of the Arthurian family tree. Therefore, they can easily reforge the sword but it will only work for him because it requires the blood (during the forging) of a member of King Arthur’s line.
So it is that Max, reluctantly, teams up with Wilfred and his friends other previously unknown budies–faerie, centaurs, and satyrs–to reclaim Excalibur and save England from yet another invasion. Little do they know that this war will become the dreaded World War III that so m any feared would end the entire world.
Well, that’s about it. Max might get together with one of Wilfred’s friends. I know this is kind of like Percy Jackson and the Olympions but I wanted to write somthing like this for a long long time. There aren’t any gods in my story to make it easy as all the fantasy stuff is a lot for just one book. I might make it into a trilogy but for now it is just going to be one book. The titles I had in mind are stated in the following…
1. Clash of the Vampires
2. Clash of the Rages
3. Clash of the Forces
4. Sieze the Sword
5. Excalibur: The Sword of Kings
6. Excalibur Quest
7. Exctracting Excalibur
Which one should I use? Also, please be honest with yourself and don’t steal all
By the way, elves are from North America & goblins are from South America.
By the way, elves live in North America and goblins in South America. The elves also team up with Max Tyler and Wilfred Handly’s gang to help them in their quest. Max will probably get together with an elf. They’re like “Red Indians.” In case you’re wondering, all the “fantasy races” are the powers behind the humans and what keeps them alive and stuff. They also are in charge of keeping the Underworld zombies at bay. That’s why they charge “income tax” (sacrifices) to their “gods” which are actually there for show to get people’s attention. (THIS IS ALL FICTION SO DON’T GET ANY IDEAS!!!)
