The Ashlander Chronicles: A New Beginning

Matu, an ashlander specializing in magic and blade, has been caught when the Ashlanders last raided the Imperials. He has been taught Honor and Mercy by the ancestors, and lives by a code, and is kindhearted to all he meets, even if they are evil in soul. In jail, he has met the Generous Emperor who speaks of his own death. Matu senses this man is Wise beyond comprehension. He works together with Baurus, and eventually forms a friendship in the dungeon with the Emperor's last bodyguard. He tells Baurus of the emperor's trust of him, and Baurus gives Matu directions to Waynon County.
Desperate to complete the Emperor's dying wish, Matu heads to Waynon Priory.


Don't worry, the fanfic will tell of tales of him traveling to Waynon. The next episode will feature the dungeon close to the sewer when you come out, Vilderin :D.

The Ashlander Chronicles: Sense of Evil.




After coming out of the sewer dungeon, Matu senses evil magic in the air, just as the ancestors taught him. He finds the Ayleid ruin Vilverin. Determined to cleanse evil, he goes in.


He descends down the sets of stair, the evil will in the air getting higher. He come across a set of Bandits. He eliminates them, but he is honorable and because of this, he makes a pyre for them, honoring their lives, as he questions what would drive one to wish another such ill-will. Going down the stairs, he comes across another pair of bandits. One has a bow, and an arrow strikes him in his knee. He summons a Skeleton, but knows that since it is summoned, it is actually a Daedric being, and has disturbed no one's soul. He sends it after the bandit with the bow, and with his knowledge of restoration magic, he heals himself. He see's that the being he has summoned has killed both of the bandit's and he makes a pyre for them as well. He descends deeper into the dungeon, the evil sense growing ever strong. He then sneaks upon a Necromancer and his undead servants.But alas, his iron boots are too noisy. He is attacked, and he is furious at the disturbing of souls,just to be made into such creatures be the souls evil, or good. He attacks out of his rage, losing his temper. He is then hit by a arrow from one of the Necromancer's servants. He has now summoned a Ancestor Spirit, his own father,to be exact, who had died honorably in a battle against a horde of vampires. He knows that the Ancestor's have told him that they he is free to summon them in times of need, but still he has been reluctant to do so. His father dispatches of the undead and their leader. Matu then says goodbye to his father, and his father's spirit passes away, into the next realm.
He then leaves the dungeon, disgusted by the evil their, and continues on to Weynon Priory. On his way, he comes across a village, and one person is talking about a clan of honorable Knights, called Knights Of The Nine.

This isnt't a Fan-Fic so much as a list of what Matu did.

9/10 sentences (approximately) start with He and the effect is a really awkward and monotonous read.

Bland, blank, and boring.




Edit: I counted. This chapter contains 4 sentences that start with a word other than He.

Yeah I'm afraid I have to agree with Tayroc, what you wrote is more of a list than a story, nevertheless I don't recommend you give up, just try to improve the way you write.

Hmmm.... maybe I should start over. This thread is officially dead. Go on, leave. Please lock this, moderators.

Start over, but...add a twist in, as well. We know the main quest ;)

But the others' advice still stands alongside that.
