I am going to write a story.
I will use names of real people and I am still adding people into the story so drop me a private mail if you want to be in it. :)
For the terms on which I use your names see my account info.
Please don't comment, I will open a discussion thread if this story turns out well. :) | The young elf thundered through the alley-way, his bare feet slapping against the paving. He rounded a corner into the town square and searched for a place to hide. He looked left and right and absorbed everything in the town square.
A young couple sat in the centre of the square holding hands gazing into a fountain.
An old merchant was standing next to his stall. Displaying amazing vases and pots on top of a very expensive table clothe.
A woman in a shawl stood in the corner of the square, studying the man.
The elf thought quickly. He couldn't hide in the fountain or behind the young couple and the woman wouldn't provide any cover when his pursuers finally caught up with him. That only left the merchant. The elf ran to the merchant's stall and was just about to crouch so he could crawl under the table when a spear strike to the back sent him flying over the table, shattering the vases and pots. The momentum of the spear sent the elf into the fountain where a dark spot in the water started to spread. The merchant tore off in the opposite direction clutching his remaining vases. The couple screamed and ran down an alleyway.
Then the elf's pursuers emerged from the alley-way. | At first they seemed to be giants, at least double maybe triple the size of a man. Then the twilight exposed them as Lizard Trackers, the backbone of the queen's control force. The queen and her control force were rigorous in the control of the citizens of her cave city; rak'ash. The Queen's sanity was often questioned but in whispers and those that voiced them loudly where quickly silenced.
The elves rode their lizards over to the elves body. The woman in shawls watched curiously.
The leader dismounted from his lizard, he was a brute who would probably come better off in a fight with a minotaur. The leader grabbed the offender by the back of his neck and pulled a dagger from his boot and bellowed to the street, "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE THAT OPPOSE THE QUEEN" people looked out their windows and as soon as they saw what was about to happen looked away.
The dagger strike was swift and fast and the elves head fell into the fountain with a quiet splash. The water turned a violent crimson as the blood spread. The leader remounted his lizard and rode off back down the alley-way.
The woman in shawls stood in shock for a few minutes. She then shook herself and walked home, the whole event replaying in her head. She never knew this sort of thing happened... She had to do something to change it. That night the woman in shawls went to sleep wondering what the future held... | | Definitely not one for the kiddies. Sorry if thats a bit too gory | | closed by ethia (2009-09-17 12:13:48) |
