《Memoirs of an old traveler:First Rebirth》Teaser Chapter/Preview of future fight scenes
Advertisement
The grassy plain swayed in the noon sun, as far as the eye could see the grass flowed in waves like water in the ocean. The wind swirled in from the north bathing the land in the scent of summer. But the beauty was lost for most on this plain except those whose life was leaking out onto the ground, the land parched for blood. Who knows the circumstances of this battle but that mattered not to the warriors who fought and died under their banners.
Two warriors stood facing each other, each with their respective weapons out. One a warrior in plated mail with an athletic but not bulky build, wielding a steel glaive. His blond hair fluttered in the wind above a face of sculpted flesh and pointed ears. The other dressed in furs and the scales of some giant lizard with a large two handed sword of bone with dreadlocks swaying on an angular face with upright ears listening to the melody of the battlefield. They watched each other waiting for the first move, who would strike out in this battle on the plains.
The elven warrior begins stepping forward in a stance with the glaive held low, in response the beastman circles to the left his sword held in front to guard. The beastman bursts forward in a downward chop to the arm of the elf. In response the elf brings his spear from down to up in a scooping motion the point headed for the chest of the beastman. The beastman dodges and attempts to hit the glaive into the ground with his sword but before he can the weapon curves around and gives him a hit that glances off the armour. The beastman is off balance and quickly tries to correct his stance but the elf pushes in. The back of the glaive hits the beastman tripping him to the ground . The beastman quickly rolls away and gets back up his sword held in front of him. The elf warrior has switched his grip and holds the glaive closer to the head reducing the range of the weapon. The elf rushes forward with the but of the glaive to hit the chest of the beastman. The beastman rushes forward intending to catch the spear between the blade and guard of his weapon.

The elf tries to withdraw to the side but the beastman changes his action to a thrust forward. The elf gets away with a graze to his arm but his glaive is swinging into a roundhouse slash. The beastman ducks low and tries to bash the elf with the hilt of his sword. The elf kicks out in response and both separate once more. Each watch each other and once more the bout resets. The combat was too short for either of us to be truly tired but the rest of the field is moving. A group of calvary is moving here from the elven lines for a flank attack on the beastman army. The beastman warrior turns and starts to run to both avoid the calvary and to warn his brethren. The elf warrior takes up his glaive and charges with no regard to afterwards. The glaive catches the beastman in the side and rips through the armour, as the glaive hits the elf takes out a dagger on his side and stabs the beast in the back of his neck. The beastman gurgles band falls silent as his blood pools. The cavalry sweep past on their way as the surviving warrior takes up his arms and heads back to his own line, the battle rages on still.

8 78Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
