I started writing a story, this is the beginning:
[quote]The road was dark, he could hardly see a thing. But suddenly the moon showed up from behind the clouds. He saw a small reflection behind him, he turned around and drew his sword just in time to block the attack of his enemy. But he lost his balance and fell backwards in the mud. He turned to the left and the sword of his enemy just missed him. He jumped up and tried to grab his sword, but he couldn't find it. So he turned around and ran away. Just when he thought he could make it, he felt a sting in his back and he fell to the ground. He was shot. With his last strength he stood up. But before he could run again, he felt another sting in his back and he fell again. He saw the feet of his enemy close to his face, he looked up. 'This is a warning' said his enemy, but how could this be a warning? He would die within a minute, so how in the name of the gods can this be a warning?
For a moment everything was turned into light, and he felt that the pain was going away. He looked up to his enemy again. 'I won't be this good to you the next time' his enemy said 'If you dare to do it again, you will suffer that much, that the dead is a delight.' Then there was a flash, and he saw nothing but white. Slowly his sight became normal again. He was laying in the mud, alone. Even his enemy was gone. He felt afraid, but couldn't find the strength to get up and he fell asleep.
Awakened by the rays of the sun, he tried to sit up and look at surroundings, but even the faint morning light hurt his eyes. His head felt like bursting into flames, forcing him to keep laying down for another few minutes. Finally he could get his self up and he looked around for his sword while he tried to remember what happened last night. He ruined everything while he had worked so hard for it the last years. He had trained for weeks in a row, he spend all his passion for this night. And he then, when the moment came, he screwed it up. He stumbled over a rock en fell on the road. He started to cry, he couldn't control his self anymore and while he was laying there he heard a horse coming. He looked up and saw two man on black horses galloping in his direction. The left one had to be knight in the Imperial Legion, his golden templar armor sparkled in the sunlight. He tried to stand up to get their attention. But he felt like all his strength was drained out him and when he was half up, he sank back to the ground. But they already saw him and dismounted to help him. They knelled to help him. “What happened to you pal?” The knight asked “They really got you last night.”
“It's a long story, please help me first. I feel like I'm dieing.” He answered moaning.
“Ok, get him on the horse Carnicus. We'll take him to the ford and patch him up there” He said too his companion and while Carnicus helped him on one of the horses he continued “We'll take you to our ford, it's just a half hour away from here. By the way, I'm Hradd Red-beard, Knight Protector in the Imperial Legion. What's your name my friend?”[/quote]
Please tell me what you think of it.
EDIT: some more info: the 'enemy' will turn out to be 'the hunter'
