《My Writing Exercises》Wind
Advertisement
Fear the tussle, the wind chimes, foreboding tolls tell the wind the way she blows. Wake now, pack now, leave now. Chance is best left to those who dare to dance with the wind.
“Hurry now, Edmond, winds are picking up!” said Crowley.
Their journey was still far. Edmond stamped the campfire, threw away suppers waste, picked up his chime staff, and hoisted on his backpack. “I'm ready,” said Edmond the Seer.
They paced with calm urgency on the snaking road. Winds rippled through the grassy plains. Their packs jostled; the staff jingled. It was a quest to outrun the winds, to find good shelter, to tell a story for a good night's sleep. Edmond knew the way the wind blew, but not this day.
“It is strange. I did not foresee the weather to be like this!” said Edmond.
“Perhaps your age has made you senile?” said Crowley, glancing the dark clouds behind.
It was a ridiculous remark to Edmond and he waved his staff dismissively. His weather forecasts were accurate, he wouldn't be a seer at his age otherwise. An inaccurate forecast was a bad omen, a terrible thought for Edmond to ponder. He picked up his pace, eager to put away his thoughts for a warm bath and bed.
Edmond is right, of course. You know the way the wind blows, and it is because you dreamt it. Go on, then. Blow where you wish, but don't forget to record it, for dreams are nought without your pen.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
