[ManNamedEd]

General information on Amanda's time line would help

Ok How about her begining. She became immortal in the year 850 a.d. in england during the time of the black plague epidemic. She was struck down by a mob trying to stop the spreading plague.
Found at the time of her death by an immortal named Rebecca Horne, she took her in and trained her for three years untill Rebecca sent her away.

She was a born Thief and became a very successfull CatBurglar which basically details her whole life. She travelled exstensivelly. She first ran into Duncan in 1635a.d. But on the opposite end of a sword. Realizing that Duncan at the time was very, very new to the immprtal game, Duncan's charm won out, but after trying to seduce him and at the same time pic his pocket, he waught her and thus started their back and forth relationship.
She's been all over the world building up her personal fortune and reputaion with the police, she's spent her entire life as a thief.

How's that for starter's?? Now do you want more up to the moment info??

Hi Ms Linnet!!

I would want to be from The Algiers at around the 1650 or so!! I think it would be different to be desert bred. That or from japan, around the 1780's!! Alway's dreamed of being a samurai.

Connor met Amanda when she had stolen back the moon
he had tried to stop her when he found out Amanda was working with the good guys so Connor went and helped her to deliver the moon at the inn for a night Amanda finds out Connor is married and seduces him when she knows how he must feel being away from Heather for such a long time
She already knows he is a immortal Connor doesn't quite know she is a immortal she just doesn't feel right because she is so much older

How did I miss this post, was this part of the series or is it an idea for a part of the plot

Hiya Ms Linnet!!

Oriental huh? Sounds fun! A name? I give you all this other information and now I have to give you MORE!! Geez Your Demanding!!
Just kidding Ms L !! I didn't know that you were actually planning on putting this in your story What's a good oriental name?? How about Jin Foe?? Ok I've never done this before so any help here would be appreciated!!

Characteristics, year of birth, 1769. Age of death, 28. Want to be raised in a samurai family so I think that would make my character lean toward's being respectfull and humble. Kind of a wanderer,a still learning kind of character, kind of like richie ryan out of the series!!! (he was my favorite character)
Ahhhh how's that so far???

The Highlander timeline has always been a bit iffy. With Movie III taking place before movie II, but after Movie I.

So Movie IV does not really mess things up that much, seeing how things were already fairly iffy to begin with.

Has Amanda's timeline.

Hang on, just rechecked everything. Movie IV does mess things up, because it prevents II from taking place. urgh. *grumbles*

I am glad you like the thread idea it’s a work in progress I do love the story of the immortals and the story is coming along slowly. I will post the first two chapters for comments and input from all of you that are following the thread.

Punishment, well I don’t mind if you don’t mind. a bit of pain never hurt anyone.

Chapter 1 Finding Connor.
The year is 1610 AD. I was the only daughter of Angus McLoud leader of the clan McLoud I was born in Glen Finnan in the year of our lord 1590. For all the years I was growing up I heard the stories of Conner McLoud how he survived the deathly blow from the unknown dark warrior of the Frazer clan in 1536. The stories were always told behind closed doors as the sound of his name stuck the fear of Lucifer through the minds of the weak and feeble.

When my father was dying he called me to him and said “Maggie my love! I want you to find Conner McLoud and give him this” Handing me a scrap of parchment.”

“Say that I am sorry and to take the only thing of any worth to me and protect it.” As the last word passed his lips the life drained from his sole. I found the legendary Highlander lost and alone wandering the lowlands with no purpose and no meaning to his life.

As I approached I began to feel ill and strange sensations swept through my body he turned knowing I was there drawing a sword the like I have never seen. “Who are you? Come no closer” He shouted across the valley. I stopped in my tracks fearing for my life as his gaze fell upon my form.

I said, “I am Maggie McLoud daughter of Angus McLoud of Glen Finnan.” Trying to impress upon him I was someone important.”

“Be gone Angus has no Daughter.”

“He sent you this.” Throwing the parchment towards his feet, with his sword still drawn he stepped towards the parchment. Picking it up he began to read the coded message that was upon it. He fell to his knees whilst he read it if he was going to pray but instead he let out a scream that echoed around the valley.

“I have a spoken message also.”

“What is it?” His voice sounding feverish.

“My father said I am sorry and to take the only thing of any worth to me and protect it. But he gave me nothing else but that parchment.” Looking on this legendary man he seemed no older than I was but from all accounts he should be dead or in his 98 year something that was unheard of in these parts if it was not the British it was the fever that would take you the after life.

“You have no business here be gone with you this is a fake you are hear to taunt me, where are the others hiding in gausses bushes Come Out dam you and fight like men instead of hiding behind a woman’s tails.” Conner said,

“I am alone, please help me find who I am.” I pleaded. For it was told that there were gangs of marauders in these parts who prayed upon the helpless while they slept.

“At least give me shelter for the night I will be no trouble and I will give you comfort as payment if my lord so desires.”

“Don’t talk like that, I will take no payment from a fellow clansman.” Connor said, but I could see in his eyes he was still not if I was telling the truth.

“Come take some broth with me.” He said, holding out his arm in a jester of guarded welcome. As I approached him I began to feel a pain in my sole like that which I had only felt once before and I knew he felt it to.

His house felt warm and safe and I was glad to be out of the damp cold that could often bring you death, these where troubled times and I had no idea on what would become of my beloved Scotland but at least for tonight it was safe as was I in the home of a true highlander.


Chapter 2 Life Line

“Why did I feel ill when I first met you.”

“It is the Quickening.” He replied, I think expecting me to know what he was talking about, but I just looked at him still not having a clue what he was on about.

“What is that then?” I asked just as dumb as before he said anything.

“It is just the Quickening! That’s all you need to know, now eat and stop asking questions you won’t want to know the answers to.”

“But…” He cut me off by putting his hand over my mouth before I could say any more.

“Do you feel it?”

“Feel What?”

“McLoud!!!” Came a booming voice from outside his small house.

“Conner who is it what do thy want.”

“They want my head, and yours if they find you here now hide.”

“Conner McLoud show your self I challenge you for the prize.” Came the strange voice that seemed to ring in my head.

Conner picked up his rounded sword and took a pace towards the door as it burst open, and a dark skinned man forced himself through it knocking Conner across the room.

“Kaman, why not come in and eat with us I am sure you are hungry.” Conner said with a smile across his face. I couldn’t understand any of this why did this man want to kill Conner, who was he, how did they know each other

“I will brake bread with you then take you head.” Kaman said, pleased to see the warm fire and the bowl of steaming broth on the table. He sat down crashing his sword down on the table.

“Maggie our guest needs some broth and ale.” I did as I was asked then watched as the two men sat and ate. There was an uneasy silence but as I sat down and looked at both men they began talking as they enjoyed their meal. They looked so different but they knew each other by name, I feared for my life at the mere sight of this man but Connor was at ease with him. He was a colour I had never seen before his skin was as dark as the night it self and eyes that seemed to cut through you. I wanted to ask so many questions but Conner looked at me and I got the message not to say anything.

“I see its true.” Kaman said.

“What is true?” Conner asked.

“That is Ramirez’s sword isn’t it? Did you kill him?”

“No it was Kurgan.”

“The Kurgan. The dark warrior last I heard he was imprisoned under a stone circle by a Druid wizard by the name of Merlin.”

“And so it continues.” Conner said nonchalantly.

“Where is it going to end?” Kaman said.

“For you it will end today if you still wish the challenge to continue.”

“It has to be.”

“When you are ready we will finish it for one of us as you know, there can only be one.” Conner said getting up slowly with his eyes firmly on the dark skinned warrior then backed out of the cottage.

Kaman picked up his sword and followed him out. The night was black with no moon but as the men faced off lightning sparked across the sky lighting up the glen as with its awesome power.

Their sword slashed through the night’s sky and as the blades struck with a searing sound that whistled as sparks flew from their strikes blow after blow strike and counter strike parry and guard they fought as the sparks continued to fly and the storm built until the air was charged with electricity that had my skin crawling, then it was all over Kaman swung his sword in a sweeping blow that Conner knew was coming and blocked it and swung his blade in one motion slicing Kaman’s head off as if it was cutting through a boiled haggis. His head fell to the floor and lightning shot from his decapitated body and travelled towards Conner lighting him up as if he was a funeral Pier with white and gold flashes pulsing through his body he fell to his knees and then to the floor his head hitting the ground like a fallen grouse.

I ran to him fearing him dead, but was amazed when I rolled him over to see his eyes open and he said. “There can be only one.”

Chapter 3 Burial

“Only one what.” I asked Conner as he began to come around.

“Maggie help me up and then we will dig his grave.”

“He tried to kill you, and you are going to put him in the ground let him rot it is more than he deserves.”

“Shut up woman, he was one of us he deserves a decent burial he had no choice but to challenge me as we all have to we have no choice. Take his sword he always used a light blade that was more suited to a woman.”

“I don’t want his sword tell me what’s going on why did that man want to kill you. You have to tell me.”

“You are one of us you are or can be an immortal.”

Re: Options

Hey MsLinnet!!!

Ok I have a few questions for any that want to help on this project>

As alway's Ms Linnet, service!!........I MEAN Serve.....Honestly.

<One do I follow the story lines in so much as I concentrate on the fights.>

I've watched everything that the producers of The Highlander has ever slapped a name on, movies, all of the series and the raven series and I'm so sick I have both the ramirez/connor dragon head katana and the dragon head katana Duncan used throughout the series. So needles to say the sword fight's were my favorite part's!!
If this is your first time writing a sword fighting sequence, I thought it was a Good sword fight ! A little rough but for your first time I enjoyed it.
What I'm trying to say is that I think you detailed the fighting scene really well to the time they fought in, considering that was 393 year's and connor's skill's were nowhere near the level nor as polished asthe connor we all know and love from the first and third movie's!! (i hope that makes some kind of sense)

<Two am I not doing enough on the fights if you think this please submit a fight so too replace the on I put in.> Give yourself a little credit!! It was the first story and your first time writing one. If you want some good books for some masterfull sword fighting writing you should(although the books are Way thick and so far there's ten books in the series) You should try Robert Jordans "Eye of the World" series! Best series I ever Read!! Or for even more detail on sword's and sword combat Mickey Zucker Reichert's "The Renshai Trilogy" and "Beyond Ragnarok, The Renshai Chronicles" Books are Dedicated to Sword's and it might help.....Not That You Need Mind You
Sorry about straying so far off the subject.


<Three Do I forget about it and do what I want to do regardless of the films or the series>
It's your story and entirely fictional !!! I say do what you want, your first story was a good one, they can only get better from here. But then I suppose my opinion is kind of bias since I Love your stories anyway's huh??
