The 7 crystals
« on: October 02, 2009, 08:23:13 pm »

The night is stormy. I can fell the evil crawling for his entrance to the main tower.They're one step to the sacred plane, the mana flow is really weak...
I.. can... Feel...

Febser MontainHalls, Granite 27th

The little boy, Sigum Lish,wake up, look around as he usually do when wake, then he go to cabinet to dress, when he open the door, he hears the morning noises, the ones that he usually hears, the sound of his living comunity, all the dwarves living prosperous, everyone working happily.
Sigum goes to Udib's workshop, the craftman that promised to Sigum that will carve stone shortsword, When the boy approaches, Udib exclaims:

_Little Sigum, I worked all the night along in your sword, Look!

A Masterful crafted obsidian sword, menacing with spikes of Microline, encrusted with a claro opal.
The boy high-pitched voice had any words to say to the craftsdwarf creation.
_and... how much does it cost?
_Don't worry, that's a gift.I know that you are planning to settle out from our comunity to have adventures, take it as token of our friendship!
Crying, Sigum ruged Udib.Them, a loud scream comes from the deep of dark hallways, and a miner comes running from that direction...

TO BE CONTINUED...

(In about some hours)

As seen in the previous part, Sigum have seen the miner running, like fleeing from something...

What will happen with our little boy?

Sigum looks to the miner face, that looks scared, someone asks the miner what happened.
_Blue ore!Strange Chamber!Glowing pit!!!!
No one understood what the scared miner said, and more screams came from the deeper room of the fortress, followed by terrifying urges...A deafening silence takes the craftdwarves room...from the hallway, a sound of footsteps, something with giant claws was approaching.Everyone was ready to run if necessary...And when no one expected, a giant figure comes from the shadow , A winged, horned creature appears and start to makes his victims, followed by other smaller creatures, slightly like frogs, and some other creatures with numerous tenctacles. The panic take all the place, everyone start running around, Sigum take his sword, and pull Udib's arm, start looking for his parents.Udib says that they need to go, that's too late, but Sigum didn't give up, and when they saw, they ran into a hideous creature with tentacles coming out of his back, horns and fangs.When The little child try to run, the demon hold his clothes, then, Sigum pulls his sword and  cut off the creature slimy tentacle, the creature twitches, Sigum and Udib run away...
Sigum arrives in the dinning hall, The floor was covered in blood, and beetween a pile of corpses, Sigum recognizes his father and his mother's faces, an inexplicable felling strikes Sigum, he drops on knees in front of the corpses and starts crying, and because of strong emotions he fainted, and Udib carried Sigum on his back out of the fortress, to far, far away.

It seem proper punctuation and grammar have strong impact on story telling, this is good practice on creativity tho.

Ok, I'll use quotes instead of the underline.I was using it beacuse in portuguese, when someone talk in texts, we use the underline, thanks for your help sava2004!



Sigum runs to a dead end road, when the mans arrive, he sit on the ground and pulls his sword, one of the men says:
"Nice sword!I'll get at least 150 gold coins for it."
Sigum points the sword to the man, that ironically says:
"Oh!The dwarven child will hurt me?"
Then, one of them fall on the ground with a arrow stuck in his back, the other men looks back, and see a figured dressed in a midnight blue cloak and robe on top of the roof of a building.The unknown says in a deep voice, that seemed to be a male voice:
"get away from the boy if you all want to stay alive!"
The men laugh loud, and then pull his weapons, one has a small battle axe, and two has short swords, the mysterious man jumps from the rooftop and lands on the ground, and kept his crossbow, and adverted:
"I'll defeat all you with my bare hands!"
The mans charge in his direction, Sigum closes his eyes, don't willing to see the end of the man, he hear fight sounds, when the noise stops, he open his eyes slightly to see what hapenned, and he sees the man beetween the fainted men, The unknown man walks toward Sigum,  and raises his hand in his direction, trying to helkp Sigum to get up. The man put his hand in Sigum head and says:
"Be careful boy, be careful..."
The man walks to somewhere without even identify, Sigum runs to try find the man beetween the crowd, after fail to find the man,Sigum looks to the skies and says:
" I'll avenge your death, father!"
Sigum walks to a dirty road leading to the outskirts of the town, and them, heads to Urist dojo...
