The story of one man
« on: December 05, 2006, 10:07:47 pm »
[action lovers can go read something else im not realy into it theres none at all in this story tell me ANY critisism you have i want to improve on my stories thanks in advance]




Enrion smiled and looked at the crystal sun shining through the window he smiled briefly then decided to go and talk to Harnquist about his weapons. Slowly he got up and streched out a bit, put on his clothes, took his weapons and left through the door. After a litle walk he was standing in the plaza there were barely any people in it. Everyone undoubtebly sleeping, he smiled and walked to Harnquists. After a chat with Harnquist  he managed to persuade the smith to give him 3 circles for his swords and he felt happy even though that would not suport him for long for he had to pay rent and buy food still he was happy.
After chating with Harnquist a litle about the uneasy times and a good laugh about about the self serving good one's who claim the for the title of "Hero" after Harnquist got a litle busy he went back to Kada's for breakfast and a few beer's. After breakfast he decided to travel to Ojaveda to visit his older brother Keliom. After he passed the pilar gate he took a litle rest by the river and washed up a bit.The road was so calm and peacefull it was ceratain that he had always loved it always loved it beyond any blade crafted, to him it was the purest thing he had ever had seen. He had always held nature above anything that the city could offer both in beaty and in spirit. Hydlaa can build vast towers and great manors but to him a simple field with a few trees will be greater than even the temple of Laanx. He loved nature and everything about it, it was just the one sight that most undervalue.
After a few minutes of rest he continued on his way to Ojaveda slowly, walking less then looking around he made his way to Ojaveda home of the Noble Enkidukai and home of his brother. It did not take much to find him he was in Trasok's trying to get a better deal on his weapons just like he did with Harnquist. He laughed and and came up to them.
"Brother still trying to get rid of that old sword you made months ago"
He smiled as he looked at me and replied with a hint of laughter "Of course i cant keep carying this thing around the rust ruined my pants the last day"
After a litle chat they got a good deal from Trasok and went to make another blade with their combined effort's. They made the steel stock's as pure as any of them have ever seen then after a few a few hours of hamering the blade Enrion had finished the basic shapes and gave it to his brother to finish up on. Keliom made the blade like it was the only thing in the world that existed to him at that moment. He did not notice anything besides the blade. After a few hours of working like possesed he lifted the complete blade and looked at the edge's.
"Not bad better than the others i have made still could use your touch brother"
I laughed a bit and said "I could not improve that blade further maybe if if i was the great smith i could"
After they finished the blade we put it in a bucket of water to cool properly and went to the "Broken Door" for lunch, dinner and beer.
When they got to loud for even Brado's taste they left the tavern and went to the smithy to look up on the blade. And after making a few last fixe's gave it to Trasok and started bartering for a better price again.This is how every day passes for them. A smith's life is not an easy one and you often end up hungry with no matterial's sometimes you end up on the street with nothing but your clothes and despair. We must not work against each other but with each other this is a law most smiths follow as should all people follow this rule for true strenght lies in unity not a one man's strenght and remembering this rule will leave the tale useless ......

I bet you would be amazed how much better this story would be if you worded it differently. Here's a hint: Try and get rid of all the "I"s. Instead of "I walked to the smith", use "The sojourn to Harniquists was a short one." Savvy?

I agree, because I think this is really good advice. I'd have to say that I'm glad someone else is giving good feedback. I was getting kind of annoyed that it was just me. I approve.

(Whatever do you mean?)

He already gave you an excellent example of what he meant, if you don't take the read and understand his post, I doubt making him post again will help.

Dude, I thought you only skipped English classes, now I see the math teacher didn't see you much either.  ;D

My post WAS an example of what he meant.

However, I could really tear into you, if you want.

Yes, yes we are. Get used to it.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(
