lathriel25. Do any of your characters have pets? Tell us about them.
In an early version of a Lotus Children story, a short story version of book I that I wrote for a creative writing class, Malcom has a pet dog named Anubis. I thought I was very clever for that. Malcom's people were supposedly descended from an Egyptian god, and Anubis was the reader's hint that Malcom was the one the main character, Leila, was hunting. It was all sneaky like.
Anubis was some kind of mutt, an enormous fuzzy dog constantly knocking people over when it got excited to see them. Leila falls in love with the dog despite her cold personality, just as she falls in love with Malcom before she realizes she wants to kill him. Haha.
I should put more pets in my stories. I guess I'm afraid some part of the story will suddenly require them to die, and I think I'd cry all over my keyboard if I had to do that :(
