Re: Fan Fic Contest: Are you the best writer?
I don't know what you're talking about. I got it all written down. I just hope it is as epic as Son of Arathorn wants. I did take some liberties with the prompt however. This isn't quite my usual style, but I thought I'd try something new.
It's long, but hopefully not too long. If you want me to cut it down SoA I will be glad to. The Battle of the Ages Valhalla is undone. The world is collapsing under what she has done. At least the war is over, but we have brought this Dark Age upon ourselves. The very wellsprings we have fought so hard for are now under their control and have brought death to this world. As soon as they find me, I am dead. I write these words in the hope that someone will find them and remember the deeds of our last battle. It started with a meeting of the Allied Generals. Jandar had received a tip from a traitor amongst Utgar's armies that the Dread General was weakened. Upon deliberation, the Allies had agreed on a final, combined assault. By the end of the week, our army, numbering in the thousands, began the march towards Utgar's lands. We didn't know it had been preordained. No sooner had we crossed the borders into Utgar's territory, were we ambushed by a sizable, though small, force. The attack force consisted of mostly Goblins, they appeared from nowhere and quickly began to cause problems along the army. There were so many that the normally inconsequential Cutters were causing decent amounts of damage to the flanks of the Alliance. The Goblins quickly fell to the sheer size of the army. Several had escaped however and it had been Carr who realized first what the attack had really been about. "This was merely a test by Utgar to see how powerful we really are," he stated simply, I knew he was right. We marched the rest of the day, occassionally being attacked by a small guerilla force. We sustained no heavy damage throughout the day and morale was high amongst the entire army. No sooner had we set down to camp for the night than the real trials began. Horns sounded across the plain, for that was where we were, the Plains of Amir. Desolate lands that had once been beautiful, destroyed by the many years of war. It had been here that Utgar had begun his campaign against the world those many years ago. The army assembled, but an army of such an immense size took time to gather. The opposing army began its charge, it was almost as large as ours, but they had already assembled and began to roll over the number of our soldiers who had managed to face the enemy. I stood among them, tearing through any enemy that opposed me. No matter the size, no matter the skill, I tore through all of them as if they were merely sparring dummies. projectiles ranging from arrows to plasma blasts ripped through the air around me, but none managed to hit me. Our army had at last fully mustered and began to push back at Utgar's army. It was then that I saw Vydar lying dead on the ground, seven arrows protruding from his chest. I saw Carr standing atop him, daring the enemy to come and take his general's body. Vydar hadn't been the first of the Generals to be killed however. I heard from an elf later that Ullar had been killed in the first moments of battle by a pack of Anubien wolves who had charged ahead of the main force. Ullar had gathered a band of Aubriens around him and they tore through the wolves, but there had been too many and help had been unable to come from the still rousing camp. They had torn his body to shreds and there had been nothing left to retrieve. I raced over to Carr and helped him beat back the force of orcs that had converged on Vydar's forces. It was then that I realized that darkness had fallen, and everyone was fighting by the light of the moon and stars and the few torches scattered throughout the battlefield. After a time, the orcs had been driven back and I looked to Carr. His face was blank, but I could tell that he had been deeply hurt by the death of his General. I placed my hand on his shoulder, saying nothing, but then the noises of war intruded on our silent conversation and we both raced off in different directions to other parts of the battle. I never saw him again. I found a contingent of the Knights of Weston, desperately trying to hold back an attack from Moltenclaw and his cadre of Wyrmlings. Denrick was not far off battling against the fiend dragon Mimring himself. I leapt into the fray and assisted the Knights in successfully beating off the Wyrmlings, I personally slayed Moltenclaw with a stab through his eye. Denrick returned to us, having just slashed out the heart of Mimring. I fought like this all night, running across the battlefield aiding any Allied forces that were being pressed by Utgar's hordes. I once almost lost my life to Krug as he took a swipe at me. He was extremely angry and arrows riddled his body. I could see Syvaris' head dangling from a rope around his belt. I dove under and hacked at one of his legs. The beast roared and collapsed, his injured leg no longer able to carry his immense girth. I decapitated him with another swipe of my sword. One thought raged through my head as I fought tirelessly. 'How had Utgar known we had been coming?' An army of Utgar's size would've have taken almost as long as ours to assemble. He would've had to have started mustering his army around the same time. My mind was faced with another dilemma when the sun began to rise. Harsh horns sounded on the hills and both armies looked up in horror at the sight facing them. Arrayed along the edge of the plains sat another immense army, bearing the olive emblem of Valkrill. The new arrivals let loose a mighty shout and charged against both tired armies. I joined a group of Ashigaru who had immediately moved to try and intercept the approaching army. Their leader, Kato, informed me of Einar's demise at the hands of the vampire Esenwein. He also told me that Cyprien had fled shortly after to avoid the morning light. That left only two allied generals alive. We clashed into the right flank of the approaching army and sowed destruction among the forces. Valkrill's army was fresh however and quickly began to beat back our tired and beleaguered force. We were given a respite however as a force of Mohicans arrived at the battle to provide aid, led by Brave Arrow and Aquilla herself. Aquilla's silver sword cut through countless enemies, but she was soon surrounded by Death Knights. Brave Arrow dove into the fray and took a slash across the chest. He collapsed dead at Aquilla's feet. A scream of rage escaped Aquilla's lips and with a powerful thrust of her wings, she beat back all of the undead knights. Seeing this battle well in hand I turned to leave and find somewhere else where I was needed. A silence descended over the battle field and I turned to see the mysterious general Valkrill staring menacingly at Aquilla, spear poised in his hand. With no noise, Valkrill launched himself at her and proceeded to beat her back. Aquilla was well skilled at the sword, but she was no match for Valkrill's prowess with the spear. He soon had Aquilla skewered on its tip. I prepared myself to face Valkrill, but he turned away without a word and flew off to another part of the battlefield, leaving no trace of his former presence except for the body of Aquilla lying on the ground. It was nearing noon and the battle had been waging nonstop for almost fifteen hours. The armies had beaten each other to a pulp and the final player was about to be revealed. Another army silently approached the battlefield. There was no fanfare, no shouts, only an army keen on its purpose. I stared down in shock thinking that Utgar had had reserve troops, but I was surprised when the newly arrived Marro army tore into all three opposing armies mercilessly. A shout behind me turned me around. I saw Jandar kneeling at the feet of Utgar. They had been battling each other relentlessly since the fighting had begun. I watched as Utgar raised his sword and ended the life of the last Allied general. He turned and faced me, an evil grin on his face. He recognized me and knew what his deed had meant to me. He was so focused on me that he failed to notice another kyrie land behind him and thrust his spear into Utgar's chest. Valkrill had taken another of the Valkyrie. The battlefield had devolved into a rout as the fresh Marro tore through every other army on the battlefield. Their numbers were larger than the entire combined forces of the Alliance, Utgar, and Valkrill. Apparently they had been breeding secretly for this very moment. One of the Marro approached Valkrill, who had moved away from where Utgar lay, and proceeded to wage war against the Valkyrie. The Marro was skilled, I couldn't tell who it was from the distance they were at, but I was fairly sure I knew who it was. My fears were confirmed when the Marro took Valkrill by the neck and then simply walked away, Valkrill following obediently behind. I was approached by a Marro as well. She rose up on her spider legs and stared down at me. "Well, Well," Kee-Mo-Shi stated, "It was good of you to survive this long, now you can see the end." "You planned this didn't you? You had had this planned when you told Jandar of Utgar's weakness." "Yes, I also told Utgar that I could convince the other Generals to arrive here for him to crush at the same time, and I also told Valkrill that here the opposing armies would be crippled enough to make them easy prey for his army. None of you realized that the only people benefitting from this battle would be the Marro. I win the most however, I made the Hive and the Hivelords swear that I would be given control of the wellsprings. They have no concern for those, only for breeding and spreading our plague, and they readily granted me that in exchange for all of Valhalla." I lunged at her as she finished, she merely grabbed ahold of me and lifted me off my feet. "You foolish human, I shall be pleased to have you serve me." She raised her staff and went to touch it to my forehead, giving her access to my mind. Without thinking, I drew my army knife and stabbed it into her hand forcing her to release me. Then I fled from the battle, we had lost miserably. Kee-Mo-Shi now has control of all fifteen wellsprings and the Marro have been let loose like a plague on Valhalla. I wait here now until they find me. I only hope that this letter is found and that people remember the beauty of Valhalla before the Marro infestation. -Sgt.

Re: Fan Fic Contest: Are you the best writer?
Update on my story: I'm writing it now, and I think it's looking pretty good so far. I may be able to finish it tonight, but I may be caught up in the Arena Football game playing . I'll try to get it done as soon as possible in case we don't get an extra week though.

I'm not losing heart. I'm just complimenting b15 on a great story. Admittedly, it might not sound like that, but I assure you that I will go on to kill Bassist's dreams of being a repeat winner.

Re: Fan Fic Contest: Are you the best writer?
Pretty awesome, Bumper15. Hopefully, my story will be awful. Yes, awful. As a friend of mine once put it, "Awful is better than awesome because awesome only has some awe while awful is full of awe." Here we go...
