I'm usually fond of anything involving the Loren. However, this dude didn't cut it - that is, not after he killed the horse.

I was easily able to immerse myself in the environment and the dialect worked well too.

Loved it my boy,
Harolde

Man what a quick ending! :/ I want more!

It was a nice and easy read, ok some "tilean" words are tough to decypher

And yeah... poor horse
He could've just freed it.

But ok... i'm not the writer.

It was the human (Bretonnian) side of the rogue's character (not the Wood Elf one) that was responsible for carrying out such a despicable deed against a poor, dumb animal.


Anyway, thanks to you and Mayne for your generous feedback.
Pleased that you both enjoyed it.


Mayne,

Sorry, but I had to make the story fit into the 3,000-word limit, and I also like to put an unexpected twist into the end of my stories.

Hopefully, this story will be the basis for a graphic novel to be published sometime later next year.
I'm currently working in collaboration with a graphic artist / novelist to turn my winning entry for last year's Anniversary Literature Competition, entitled The Quest, into a graphic novel, which hopefully will be published in May 2011.

So watch this space!

Sir Guy,

I loved the whole tale, including the dialect. You have a real ear for putting language into phonetic prose. It almost reminded me of Brian Jacques' Redwall series, which featured several examples of written accents.

As for plot, I must admit that I initially thought our half-elven antihero's past would catch up to him. However, when I continued reading, you had me convinced that it wouldn't. When the twist finally happened, I honestly didn't see it coming

I also loved your characters. Each was extraordinarily well fleshed-out and characterized. Your hero's actions all had purpose, and it made sense to me why the horse was slain. Everything had a reason to be in your story...nothing was done to simply move along the plot. Bravo! I really enjoyed it, and you should be proud of your achievement!
