Week 5 Planning: Kings and the Sons

I am going to combine my reading notes Part A and Part B for my story next week discussing the attempted rebellion of two kingdoms. I went two separate directions in both of my reading notes, but after brainstorming about it I think I have the plot that I want to do. In reading A I discussed King Dashartha having four sons who will ultimately grow to hate him and branch of into their own kingdoms. But after thought and also after part B reading, I want to combine the kings and combine the sons from both of my readings. Part B I focused on Dave breaking up with Nina, while he didn't know Nina was pregnant with his son. So my plan for next week is to go forward in time to where King Dave's sin has been born and have him cross paths with King Dashartha's four sons. They will form an alliance and plot against the two kingdoms under King Dashartha and King Dave. The two king will then catch wind of this information and have to form their own alliance. It will cause a dual kingdom rebellion inside the royal families, so like a combined civil war between two countries, which I think would be a fun angle to write a story about. I would have to come up with a way for the 5 combined sons to gather an army to defeat the Kings. I am thinking about having them talk in secret to the actual armies of the kingdom, telling them the news of a rebellion. This will also play into the fact that the kings find out the rumor of rebellion, by a loyal soldier telling them the news. I am excited for this upcoming story, and am planning on making some ad hoc changes.
