The Demons Path - Light Yagami - May. 25, 2011
hey guys this is a new story i am writing i hope you like it
Chapter 1
The air smelled of rotting flesh and blood. We were in war, and as I lay in turning on the cold hard mattress I think of my wife who I left behind 6 months ago to go to war with the king.
I tried to get some sleep knowing that tomorrow me and my battalion would have to fight for our lives until reinforcement arrived. But alas I could not sleep. So I decided to take a walk through camp. I stared at the sleeping men wondering if I would ever see them again. “Do not worry they are good and strong men they will survive “said a mysterious voice. I turned around to see my best friend Caleb. He was a tall muscular man with tan skin and hazel eyes. “I know Caleb†I replied. “You should get some sleep†Caleb said. I nodded my head and went back to my tent and fell asleep.
The sunlight shined on my face and I woke up. I realized that I had sleep in. I went out of my tent and asked what was going on. The solider said “the enemy is closing in to our position we are preparing for battle generalâ€. I nodded and grabbed my sword. It was black hieroglyphs on the handle to keep my power controlled. I then started day dreaming about when I was young and there was an accident when I was young and the powers of a demon were transferred to me. For a while after that I was treated as a monster even by own parents they would abuse me and hit me leaving scars and bruise. Until one day I snapped and lost control and killed them. Then the king took me in. he was the only one who treated me nice him and his son Caleb. I snapped out of my flash back and prepared for battle. After I was prepared I gathered I the tropes and headed out to meet the enemy. We met them at the canyon of death. The general of the apposing army said†give up before we kill youâ€
I shouted with all my heart “ NEVERâ€. with that I attacked and slash the generals head off. A solider from the apposing army lunged and killed one of my most trusted men. As I saw his head roll to the floor I just exploded in anger and went on a rampage I attacked and slashed and killed any one brave enough to stand in my way and as I saw my on solider falling to the ground motionless and there hot sticky blood splashing on me I could not help but thinking this isn’t war its hell.
plz tell me what you think and anything I can improve in.

Wow! At least you're not putting periods in random places anymore. Also, you actually have decent description. I suggest you work on the flow of your story (way too choppy) and character development.
Wait, did you steal my story idea "Dust in the wind?" Partially?
RE: The Demons Path - Light Yagami - May. 25, 2011
yes and no because i was reading it when i got this the idea of this story. and what do you mean to make less choppy

As in:
Do: He turned towards me, and I could smell his flesh. He smiled, and suddenly, he attacked.
Don't: He turned. I could smell his flesh. He smiled. He attacked me.
Use transition words and commas.
RE: The Demons Path - Light Yagami - May. 25, 2011
ah okay thank you very much
RE: The Demons Path - RowDog - May. 25, 2011
However, short choppy sentences can provide tension when used correctly, Sparta. Making a story choppy isn't always bad if they are little things that don't require much description.
Anyway it is a good story.
RE: The Demons Path - Synth - May. 25, 2011
Ok,its a good story,yes.but i notice everything lost tension on the last paragraph.Bit choppy,but over-all good

what do you meant by adding the description about the weather? it is the smell of rotten human body, that died on that place. if adding the details in the action parts like the head been cut off where the blood comes out from the body like it is raining blood. then it is ok.
RE: The Demons Path - Benjohadi - May. 25, 2011
something like that dude...adding weather to the intro makes story interesting if you dont know..it is just that the intro seems empty..
RE: The Demons Path - Dr. Peace - May. 25, 2011
yes you're right, adding the weather or the details of the place where the thing happen is also good for introduction.
