Question one. Two characters
This story is one of the stories written by Nora Roberts in a circle Trilogy book one. The two chosen characters in the novel the Morrigan’s Cross are Hoyt and Glenna who have appeared in the story to be the main characters. Both struggled to fight with the vampire to bring peace to their people. The vampire was killing people to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Hoyt’s brother is a victim and this is why he is fighting to bring dignity to his people (Roberts, 2006). Hoyt is gifted and has powers to fight the demons though he claims that his brother who was killed by demons had more powers than him. Glenna on the other hand is a lady who has dedicated her life to assisting Hoyt achieves his dreams (Roberts, 2006).
The two characters have different emotions at the start of the story. Whereas Hoyt is broken-hearted, Glenna on the other hand is motivated. This is because Hoyt is aware of the battle a head while Glenna is not. Hoyt is supposed to fight with vampire which drinks human blood and is not sure of how to fight with something which has demonic powers. What breaks his heart also is the fact that he is fighting with the powers who has already killed his brother (Roberts, 2006). Glenna on the other hand has never fought with the vampire before and has never been a victim in any way. When she is briefed by Hoyt, she gets more motivated to defeat the force which has brought unhappiness to his partner.
Hoyt is very observant young man. When he was in the sea, he heard a voice calling his name. The voice was very convincing in that it was music but he realized that the same voice had already called countless men to their doom. He ignored the voice even after he is threatened that she is the one who killed his brother (Roberts, 2006). He also observed his brother Cian and noticed many things within a very short time including blood and the smell of death when Lilith the goddess gave him a chance. Glenna on the other hand is not observant like Hoyt but is very creative. It is said she was odd from other people in that she could not only understood what she had in a dream experience but she was also able to speak all by herself like a native.
Hoyt is also responsible. When he is given the duty to fight with the vampire, he makes sure that he does what is possible without fear. He wants to protect his family and bring peace to the entire community. When he falls in love with Glenna, he makes sure that she is safe all the time. On the other hand, Glenna is sweet. She is convincing Hoyt to give him a kiss (Roberts, 2006). Hoyt refuses but Glenna tells him how she feels her (Roberts, 2006). Hoyt is tempted and he kisses her. He argues that her lips were soft and hot and any man could be tempted to kiss her even at the wrong time. On the other hand, Hoyt is also romantic. He makes sure that his fingers skimmed over Glenna, he made her skin quiver. He then pressed her and made her moan. However, Glenna is emotional. She is assured of love but when she stared at Hoyt tears glaze her eyes.
Both of them are young and outgoing. When they make love for the first time, they were curious and they kept on asking each other questions. Both claimed that they had not made love before. Hoyt asked Glenna the name of the garment she wore over her lovely breasts. Hoyt claims that he is happier discussing Glenna’s breasts than his hair (Roberts, 2006). They both enjoyed the pleasure of showing with a person of the opposite sex and the fascinating pleasure of watching each other dress.
They are also both daring. They try everything including what is risk to their lives. When they are advised not to engage in relationship in the battle field, they ignore it and go on. Hoyt claims that he has been riding since he was four. Glenna is willing to learn on how to ride even though she has little experience. Hoyt is caring and he expresses this on the love and care he has on his brother Cian. He trusts his brother Cian very much. He claims that when he was with his brother thy managed to kick some vampire’s ass (Roberts, 2006). The vampires are feared by the entire community but Hoyt does not see the vampires as a threat to their lives. They have survived many battles and they are willing to go for another battle to make the society a safe place to be.
They are both wise. No one between the two characters lack skills to deal with the challenges arising in the battle field. They work together to develop their relationship to maturity level despite the challenges. They discuss on the challenges they face in private to ensure they strategies on how to deal with the arising challenges. When they were in Hoyt’s room, Glenna wondered of his work areas, his books and tools (Roberts, 2006). Hoyt had wealth and Glenna is wondering whether he can share some with her. They don’t care for witches though they are both sorcerers meaning they possess the same skills to deal with some issues hence, are wise.
Question 2
* New character
The new character that could be written into a story relating to the two chosen characters is Cian. The commercial brand that would sponsor Cian is powers. He is very powerful to extent that he is feared by Hoyt who is also powerful at his capacity. He expresses his powers to Hoyt where he asks him if he is strong.
Cian who is the new character is also called McKenna. He is Hoyt’s twin brother who has been turned a vampire by Lilith a goddess. He is currently the Lord of Oiche who is the one of the circle of six. The circle of six is very strong demons that cannot be equated to humans and he is the one who is lost. Cian has a nightclub located in the New York City and hence is one of the powerful characters in that New York City is a commercial brand that shows that Cian is rich and powerful. This is also betrayed by the name of his best friend King who is the manager of Eternity. Lilith the leader of demons is Cian’s sire and she is the one who turned her to vampire fighting against humankind.
The synergy between his powers and the role he carries in the story is clear. There is an instance where Hoyt thought him so Cian. Then there was nothing but the screams of the storm and the slashing rain. This are the signs of power in that storm is very powerful and can only be equated with strong individuals in the society. Cian has powers to send the demons back to hell and it is said he had sent his own flesh and blood to damnation. All these are miraculous hence, the connection between the character and the power which is the commercial brand.
All the three characters have been chasing power throughout the story. Hoyt for instance is wants to be equated with his brother Cian who has powers to chase demons and protect his people in the society. Glenna on the other hand wants to be associated with Hoyt who comes from the same family with Cian and express her skills. Glenna meets her target by providing love to Hoyt who was lonely in the battle field.
The inciting incident is the fact that Cian and Hoyt are blood brothers and Glenna love both of them. What stops them from meeting their objectives is the fact that Cian is unreachable and only exists in dreams. This expresses the powers he possesses which the other two characters lack. All of them are chasing power but some other characters like Lilith have stopped them from achieving their dreams. This is because all of them are vampires and have powers from different gods.
The connection between Cian and his power is clear in that he is a vampire. He has powers which other humans does not possess and can cause harm at will any time. He is guided by the gods to fight the humans and those who work against him face difficulties because he works with demons. He lives in the city where he has used a lot of money to decorate the house in that it has rich colours and fabrics that gives the house sense of luxury. However, he loves his brother Hoyt though he is aware that he is fighting to grab his powers. He demands the king not to cause any harm to his brother Hoyt despite the competition because he knows they share the blood in that they are twins.
* The first chapter of the next book
Larkin limped throughout the house which is still a grave. There was sweet air, rising from the previous night flowers which were stored lavishly for the hand fasting rite.
All the weapons had been cleaned and all the blood in the ground had been mopped up. Hoyt and Glenna had been toasted with the foamy wine, and the cake had been eaten. But even though there were signs of smiles left over the night, the horror of the night had lurked behind. A poor visitor.
Today, he supposed was for thorough preparation and rest. He struggled not to be impatient for the days were rolling down slowly and training was slow, not going hand in hand with planning. The previous night they had fought, he recalled as he touch his thigh with his right hand which ached from an arrow strike. There was a glory for there had been a fall from the score of demons in the night.
While in the kitchen, he felt uneasy and he opened the refrigerator pulling out one cold Coke. Over time, he had developed a taste developing a positive attitude over the morning tea which he associated with the fight and restlessness due to the previous fight.
He turned the bottle upside down, wondering at the skill of the liner – so hard, so clear and so smooth. But what did the bottle contain – it was what he had missed so much while in the city of Geall.
He admitted he had not believed on his cousins words Moira when she argued of demons and gods, fighting in the world against the humankind. He had only gave h...
