gallifreyangothWell, maybe.
See, I've been setting myself to think character, think character, think character.
What do I end up doing?
More plot.
But this is a good thing. Really! Want to know why?
I think I have my ending. :) It all sort of came to me driving home from the store tonight. I'm going to keep it the way I had it, with Ellen getting bitter and upset and stuff while locked in the castle, and when she gets out all she wants is revenge. Her and the dragon will find out that the witch is now the Queen, and try to find a way to stop her. To do so, they'll go to an old dragon prophet mage type thing, who will tell them they need to travel and get three things (yay for plot coupons!). The first will be some sort of magical object. The second will be the person that knows how to use said magical object. The third thing I haven't decided on, but will probably be something the person needs in order to use the magical object. I'll figure this one out later. I just thought three was such a much more lovely rounded number than two.
These things are actually needed, but the reason the elder dragon sends ellen to get them is because it sees she has lost her humanity. All that time locked in a castle with no one but a cranky dragon and thoughts of revenge for company will do that to a girl. So, it sends her to get these *particular* things, because it knows that the getting of them will help her regain her humanity. Eventually, she does bring down the witch, and the moment she has been waiting for comes. She gets to kill the witch.
But she can't.
Yay!
I did actually do a bit of work on character, too, but mostly physical stuff. I guess the rest will either have to be done over the weekend, or discovered as I go!
