    Return

    Hey guys, it's been a while. I'll keep a long and uninteresting story short. I needed a break, not really from writing, but from life in general. Writing was just one of the many things that had taken a seat during my reprieve. However, things have been getting better over the past two months and I think the time I've taken to myself has been more than long enough. I understand if some of you may

    Update

    I didn't want to make a new blog post ever again, seeing as it was at 117 blog posts :P Anyways, I have an update ready to go for chapter three of the Guardian rewrite. I also wanted to mention that I have taken the chapter title from chapter two and am giving it to chapter three instead, as chapter three did not get as far as I intended.

    College

    Hey guys and gals! Requiem here. I just spent my first night here at the University of North Dakota. The transition is going well, my roommate and I get along, and my schedule looks ok. The campus is pretty and there's lots to do, especially shopping, in Grand Forks. Not sure if I'm looking forward to the winter though. Snow is something I'm used to as a Minnesotan, but the legendary wind

So while there were many good guesses Eclipse (Shortened dramatically) finally came up with the correct answer, Guardian. I'm kind of surprised no one thought of it sooner, considering how good your guesses were and the name of the story itself. But then again, I was the creator so everything I make looks easy to me XD. Anyways I bet you all want to know what the secret of Ale's name means. Here it is...

Ale is short for Aleksi. Aleksi is the Finnish form of the name Alexis. Alexis, in Greek I believe, means defender, to take care of, or Guardian. That is how I came across the name of the story and its character name with one stone. Might be a lame secret, but I always wondered, when reading other stories, where the author had hidden meanings that only he or she knew about. I thought, hey I'll share one of those only I decided to make you work for it. Hope it wasn't too bad of a revaluation. I think I would like it if an author revealed something like that. Have a good day! Req out~

You sir... Are a GENIUS! I've always liked the concept of hidden meanings or messages in a book only the Author or someone close could understand. If I was wearing a Hat right now I would tip to you. :twilightsmile:

I get no credit for the spellcheck :(

Haha. Interesting, I never thought "Ale" would be short for Aleksi though

2336483 The defender part was super close though. I won't even go into the spell check thing. Things happen and it was close enough.

Now how is it pronounced like alay or ail?

2382652 like the alcohol. Ail
