This is an extract from a book I'm writing (currently 110 pages long) and so if you like it, say so.

I stood in the red circle, I knew this much at least, and as I did, the gate behind me started to rise… I spun around as fast as I could and saw him, not from the stands, but close up, he was famous because he was a Beserker, always happy and jolly, until he went into The Arena. I could see every droplet of sweat on his forehead, every crease, he was more like an Elephant then a troll. His Muscles were huge, everywhere, his face was twisted like a savage, he was the colour of red, the colour of blood, all over. That was all I could take in, before he charged at me!
Quick as a flash, I jumped out of the way. I was lucky, one hit and I would be down, there would be no throwing in the towel now, just death.
I quickly looked inside myself, and saw I had enough power to do any spell I knew, a million times over. I drew out a brown light, and summoned a wall of earth from the ground - knowing enough, I moved out of the way of it. I’d guessed right, Uslit smashed it as easy as I could snap a twig… wait, no, as easy as I could, umm, err, walk? Yeah, as easy as I could walk! I drew out more magic, this time red. I burned all over, my god, the pain! I turned red, and out burst a single, huge flame, heading for Uslit. It bounced off him harmlessly, like a fly…I tried all but one of the spells I knew, and decided that I was done for…unless… I had learned the Black Hole spell from a book that had been outlawed centuries ago, but it was the only chance I had.
Time seemed to freeze, again, and slowly, I chanted, any mistake, and I would be sucked into The Void, where everything was nothing, and nothing; was everything:
“UNLAR USLOR ROSTHIT MALARTIK OOMCHAR LOYID USLIT BARKARENT BAKOON!”
My body turned black, not just normal black, or even pitch black. No, this was the blackness of death, and the void. My eyes glowed, I grew taller by many meters, out of my fingers sprouted black lines all wrapping their way towards Uslit, and for the first time, he looked scared…

Pretty cool! The way you describe the characters in this piece are very well done.

Thanks, I did it about three years ago so I can probally do better now. biggrin.gif

It's actually more of a hobby, and most of it's meant to be funny, so here's another bit:
(Some jokes you have to read it all to get blush.gif )

The Journey to Ashcorn passed without much incident, though Oscarth did kick all passing dwarfs, and so we weren’t very popular on the roads…

When we were in looking-distance of Ashcorn, we stopped to look in detail…
“Wow!” Bert said.
“Wow!” I said.
“Wow!” said Oscarth.
“OUCH!” shouted a passing dwarf.
It was gleaming like silver in the sun. We could see loads of guard posted inside and outside the city, as well as with five or so archers in a guard tower. We could see traders going in and out of Ashcorn, hoping to find their fortune…
“Come on then!” Bert said. “We’ll get nothing done by standing here!”
He set off, and we followed him, not stopping for anything, well, except to kick a Dwarf…
We got to the gates of the city, and stopped when someone above us told us to, no, I’m not talking about angels or anything, I’m talking about the gate guard, duh…
“Oi!” he shouted. “Who are you, and whaddya want?”
“We’re Gnomes,” Bert shouted up. “And we’ve come to visit our Uncle.”
“Oh, whatever, go in…I never get any excitement,” the guard muttered, letting us in.
“What was that about?” I asked.
“Guards here aren’t paid enough to take in much detail, so anyone can get through, really”
“What, even if they LOOK like an Orc?”
“Well, they’re not paid THAT little.”
We decided to carry on walking before the Gate Guard caught the gist of what we were saying!

Wow, I'd love to read that book, it's very descriptive from what I read right there! biggrin.gif

I can't imagine how well you could do now...well yes I can, a lot better. Keep up the good work.
urantis
Does the book have a name ?
Assassin
Yeah, Hellhorn smile.gif

But the extract is pretty much the only thing I did that's any good, the rest is a bit rubbish I'm afraid. I was going to post the first page of my new book I was writing (Was 7 pages) but saved over it accidently, so I've gotta start again, but it wasn't very long, so oh well.

And thanks for the compliments guys.
