Awz

Since what little I have so far isn't very revealing to the story I thought I'd try and share what I have in mind so far. Not set in stone though. Long ago some centuries past magic was discovered. Though it's used differently then that of other stories I have read. Using the energy of life itself, those who can weild magic, harness that energy and release it in a desired way. Over time those who could use magic grew immensly powerful and sought to use that power. Thus the druids were created to help contain the wizards. They were forbidden to ever to learn how to use magic so they wouldn't succumb to its alure. War eventually broke out between the two. The world was heavly devistated by the war and only ended by a group of wizards who wanted to end the conflict. They sacrificed themselves in a ritual that severed the links others had to magic, killing or wounding them. Now that was backstory. ---------- In the time the story is taking place, the druids have been a slumbering beast with the art of magic dead for a long time. But the druids in their isolation have started to fall from the honor that lead them to protect the land from magic. One such person is Kairn, the sage. He seeks to destroy the woman of the council and take over the druids. The other characters will be woven in as well but I'm not for sure how yet. But the story will cover the fall and death of the druids and the resurrection of magic.

I do intend to extend the chapters, but I'm in a period of planning right now. Fleshing out the rest of the story before jumping into more. But as I get more done I'll post some for those who wish to read more. Also thanks for the compliments to those who gave them. And, I noticed the resemblence with Dune in it. I didn't mean to make it seem that way, of course I am reading the whole series right now so that might be why. Your work is rather enjoyable Arch. I haven't had a chance to fully delve into it, end of semester and homework. Blech.

I've started working on a story and felt like getting some outside oppinions. My friends haven't been too insightful.. One thing, these parts are incomplete. I skip ahead if I get stuck on a part; can't think of anything to add at the moment. So any comments, suggestions, or bashing on my writing is welcome. *note* the "quote" the girl says is ridiculous I know, I'm not very good at coming up with those kind of things. Chapter 1 The waning sun had begun to withdraw from the day. A warm summer wind whipped across the country. Shadows danced out from the fleeting light and darkened the land. In the twilight walked a darker shade. It
