The Alchemist- John's Thoughts Of Characters As An Author

The Alchemist makes me happy as a writer. I don't need major edits and I can play with the structure of characters. I know in standard script or storytelling there is certain elements needed to make a story believable. I think that with this story it can be expanded like a soap opera in some way. I think the people who read my story can visualize what is going on without too many details.

Letting my imagination run wild is what will make this story good. My grammar and structure may not be top notch but it is enough for people to understand what the characters are feeling. As long as I am having fun with this story then I will keep going.

Arielle is still in denial of the reality of what is happening in the real world. In many of the movies you have bad guys either destroying the world/cities or doing mindless killing. Donovan Stratton works as a lawyer even though he can wipe out the city with his abilities, he is kept busy with his work in the real world. If you look into each character you have those who do what they are supposed to do and still have time to bring out their alter ego which is their true selves. I am excited about elements to the story that will show up later on. I want to make this as basic and general as possible.

At The Lobby

Today is going to be busy. Had to drop off Honda for recall notice I got from last May. It was for an airbag part. I also have to take another car to get one tire installed. Then heading out to yoga in the am. Then I got an errand to run at 1pm. Couldn't sleep last night. Was tossing and turning this morning. I think when I got so many things on my mind, I don't sleep well. I also think that I will add more inventory to my store. The good news is I got the okay and still working on more products to sell.

Yoga was good yesterday. It was much cooler than normal which I really like. This lobby makes m feel like I am at the airport. That's a good thing.

The Alchemist- The Cook

Arrielle fights with arnis sticks doing what Dave asks her to do. Arrielle has no martial arts experience but something inside of her is controlling her actions in a way that is impossible. More thugs join in the fight as Arrielle defends herself. Dave watches as a figure in a chef's outfit comes out of a doorway in a nearby building. The thugs stop what they are doing and looks scared to keep fighting. The cook murmurs something in Chinese as the thugs run off.


The Cook: Bravo! You did very well Miss....

The Cook turns to Dave

The Cook: So Hadiel, you came over to train your students. You and I have unfinished business.

Dave: We do have unfinished business Chin. The last time I brought someone here, you stuck your nose in my business and you end up cooking food for customers?

The Cook: Even us Demons have to making a regular living feeding humans. It's not all destruction like you see in movies. It's more about observing and balance. I am sure you are aware of that. The universe we live in works in strange ways. By the way, I am sure you will be happy to know that Nikola and Rufus now have the "artifact". I also heard Rufus has hurt you so bad that I am sure I am not the only one happy to see you fall Hadiel. With that being said.....

The Cook transforms into a large demon with glowing eyes.....

Dave: ARRIELLE, STAND BACK....I will handle this guy...

Dave raises his hands to use the "Mark of Matthias" but does not work.

The Cook: That will not work!

The Cook uses an energy blast to hit Dave to the chest and pushes him towards the wall.

Arrielle: DAVE!!!!

Dave: Arrielle, sticks...please throw them to me......

Arrielle throws the sticks to Dave as he uses them against the cook. The cook tries to hit Dave with his feet and hands. Dave blocks the throws with his stick. He pounds the demon with his sticks but with no effect. The cook throws more energy blasts at Dave. Dave gets hurt and tries to get up. Arrielle tries to help to distract the demon. Dave's hands starts to glow his arnis sticks starts to change form.

His arnis sticks become a totally new different weapon. One turns into a sword and the other a shield.

Dave: OVER HERE CHIN....check out my new toy........

The cook fires an energy blast as Dave blocks it with his shield.  Dave throws the sword towards the cook and the cook is defeated and is reduced to an "orb". The enchanted weapons turn back into arnis sticks.

Dave: I guess the restaurant needs a new cook.....So now you have seen real demons in this world and I don't have to convince you that training with me is very important. If you think this guy is tough, you have yet to face Nikola himself and possibly Rufus.

Arrielle: I don't know how I will pull this off. When do we start training?

Dave: This was just a warm up session... I have to teach you about senses and stuff. The best way is to train in Tibet. We can start as soon as we get there.

Arrielle: We going to fly by plane?

Dave: How do you feel about teleportation?

Arrielle: Not crazy about it. Do we need to pack stuff? Money?

Dave: I know some villagers that can help us with supplies. Money is not a problem. Just hold my hand and we are off to Tibet....

A glowing light has engulfed Dave and Arrielle quickly disappear......

July 4th

I took the day off to do more work. I know it is a holiday and I decided to look for opportunity to sell items online. The good news is I am doing what needs to be done. After selling my first used soccer jersey, I got excited to sell more. I know that with lots of advancement in technology, I will be able to make more items available. The biggest challenge is my advertising. Getting people to find my products is crucial to success.
