 ashamalee 2004-12-06 . chapter 1 Wow, that was impressive Juma, it seems quite different to your other stories and you poured more emotions into. Like the previous reviewer said, this line -Zephyr stumbled back in pain as his wound consumed his very soul – the essence of his life. Was an excellent choice. |
 loralinth 2004-12-01 . chapter 1 It's a very emotional ending. Your dialogue is (like in the rest of the story) intelligent, yet believable. I have two other comments: I don't know the extent of his wounds since you don't have the battle scene that preceded this up yet, but I found it hard to believe that he could stand up? It shows his determination, though, that he would do that despite the pain involved.
The other thing I'd like to say is that I think the line "Zephyr stumbled back in pain as his wound consumed his very soul – the essence of his life" is a little melodramatic. I know you don't want to go into a graphic description of how it is hurting him to stand, but maybe you could change this a little?
Just a suggestion. :P
Ok, one final comment: I really like how you end the story with "They met in another kiss; their final kiss." You don't directly say that he dies. Putting the bit about the kiss emphasizes its importance, and I think it works well with your story that their love is the most important thing, not his death.
I was very moved, even though this is just a fragment. :) Good job, Juma. :) |
