Please don't steal this idea.I want to write it someday and maybe publish once I figure it all out.
My story is about a girl in a Lord of the Rings type
fantastical world. She lives in a small town in which she is considered both
the toughest and most beautiful girl around. A tragically handsome dark lord
takes over and threatens to kill all, until he sets his sight on her. She realizes
there are only two ways to save her people. She must make him believe she will
marry him, but truly she will kill him. This means she must be around him at
all times. He is aware of her plot, and tries to seduce her into marriage. But
in the end, there is a showdown between them and she wins.
The Harmatia, or major mistake, in this story is the dark
lord is somehow tipped off to her plot. She is supposed to get in good with
him, but then when she has a chance she is to kill him. I will somehow
incorporate some way for him to learn of her about her plan; whether it’s
through the village people, maybe he overhears her himself. But somehow he is
alerted and it throws the story in a direction that seems unsolvable.
The perpeteia, or turning point, will happen when he is
trying to seduce her so that she does not try to kill him. He doesn’t want to
kill her people; no that would be too easy, he wants her to marry him, and
together they will watch her people suffer through life. The turning point is
when she realizes he would do anything just to cause people pain. She was
starting to fall for his trap, because she thought he genuinely cared enough to
save her people, but it was really to watch more people suffer. She realizes
she has no choice but to kill him, that there is no other option; her marriage
to him won’t solve anything.
The anagorisis, or major discovery, is when she realizes his
remaining good quality too is a sham. He is really a monstrous, foul creature.
This is the final straw, he comes after her in this beastly form which then
creates the final showdown.
