Musings of a not-quite Master

Hello everyone! For those of you who already know me, welcome back! For those of you who've just found me, congratulations! Just a quick note, just because I haven't been very active on FF doesn't mean I haven't been writing elsewhere. I still intend to keep that promise on the first chapter of my first story. Infact, I've gotten to chapter 483 on worldsofallkinds. blogspot. com. I don't have much else to say besides, welcome to the first chapter!


Darkside: take 1

Pre battle

I've gotta be dreaming, but something tells me this is more than just a dream. I mean, those the claws of those things really hurt. I'm on another platform and this one has a picture of a woman in a yellow dress.

"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes." There's that weird voice I've been following because I don't know what else to do. I look at my shadow, and notice something odd about it. Then it starts rising... I have a feeling I'm in trouble. I start to back away.

"Don't be afriad." Easy for it to say, my shadow is begining to mutate and it's just a voice! "And don't forget..." I don't care at this point and try to run back down the mini-platforms, only to find they're missing. I bearly stop myself from falling and turn to my now unrecognizable shadow. Looks like the only thing I can do is fight and hope I survie. So I pull out my sword and start attacking.

Post battle

I've almost killed it! I jump back to take one final assult, when my sword vanishes! I get out of the way just before one of my shadow's fists would have crushed me, but I fall on my butt. It is staring at me with those glowing yellow eyes and I feel myself sinking into a pool of black something.

"-But don't be afraid." Where was it when I needed it?! Maybe it can tell me how to get out of this mess. "You hold the mightiest weapon of all." What weapon?! I can't call my sword back! I try to drag myself out of the pool, but it's no use. "So don't forget:" Just then I'm finally covered in the black stuff. "You are the one who will open the door."


So how do you like it so far? Love it? Hate it? Please review it and tell me what you think and how I can do better!
