~Preview: Rinlado~

I decided to post a preview of “Rinlado” This doesn’t reveal the plot of it, but rather lets you see what my new writing style is like. This doesn’t contain any good action, I know, but there is plenty of action in the other chapters. More action= later Chapters. This fanfiction will come out at the end, or middle, of May.

~Short side of Chapter One~

Lugubrious it was as horse shoes padded against the soft, soil roads, while the curious light of the full moon shone overhead. Frigid dew covered the tall grass on the stretches of meadow that seemed to have no possible end.

The coachman shivered, precariously. It was a surprisingly chilly night, for this was summer season. He watched his seeable, white breath drift out of his mouth, and his teeth succumbed to frisson. He retreated back into his worn out, unkempt coat for slight relief in warmth.

Inside the coach a family that consisted of three huddled together for warmth, with the exception of the child, who flounced lively, with warm blood. She constantly glanced out the window at the open pasture, seemed confused, then sat back down patiently in her seat.

A slightly chubby man glanced occasionally at his watch, back outside, then groaned with vagueness. He slumped down in his seat, defeated.

A fairly slender woman, with an acute nose, and pale teal eyes waited patiently on her red, cushioned seat. Her eyes glanced about her teenage daughter, who was squirming.

“Mum, are we almost there?” asked the girl, her pale hands clasped together jocundly with her mother’s.

Her mother only nodded as a response, and ignored the fact that this ridiculous question was asked multiple times already. She looked absentmindedly out the frosted window, her mind became one with the soft echoes of night.

Her head suddenly jerked up as she heard a faint noise in the background of the capacious field. The hard padding of another’s hooves echoed, serious this situation was. Fear for her family grew, with each step that was taken on the cobberstone. Out in the distance, she gasped at an intimidating sight…

Short, but if you really want to know the plot of it go to my other topic in the Author’s Lodge that is titled “~Rinlado~” Maybe you can give me some feedback.

YEAHHHHHHH
Like the preview so far. Like the description there, despite the preview being short.

Sorry to be harsh, but is this suppose to be the mother or daughter you were refering to in this sentence?

Expect me to read that fic when it comes out!

That is not harsh, to me. That is a simple question, that I am glad to supply an answer to.

This is just my style of writting, and I can see how you were confused. When the last paragraph has just only "she" in it, but the first paragraph stated "The mother" then you can automatically assume that it is the mother.

If I put "The daughter" in the first paragraph, and then put "she" in the second paragraph then it will still be the daughter, unless I put "The mother"

I hope this clears it up a bit for anyone.

I liked that. ^_^ Your description must be a good point. ^_^

Except in one place, you used pale twice consecutively in two sentences.

“Mum, are we almost there?” asked the girl, her pale hands clasped together jocundly with her mother’s.
Or not. But it bothered me a bit. ^_^ Like you said, this doesn't give away the plot, so I wouldn't know what to expect when it comes out. But I'll be looking for it. ^_^

~PEACE~

YEAHHHHHHH
Okay, I get it now. Thanks.

Yeah, I use to write like that, but then even I get a little confuse of my own sentences. That is why in "Heart of the Sea" I would write my characters' names a lot or else the reader might be confuse which character I am talking about.

Thanks again and I will keep an eye for that story!

~Good night, and good luck~
(Yes, now this will be my signature thingy like some other members did).

Nice lightkeeper!

This is a sweet little preview you have here. Lovely description, nice little bit of suspense at the end... I like it!

You writing style is most certainly unique. Your sentences are different, but that is fine. You could purhaps give some description about the people inside the coach, but you don't have to. Your desicion. :)

No other problems I can see, and I really did enjoy this little piece.

I'll look out for it in the future. Great job! *gives cookie*
