There's a type of writing called minimalism that intentionally leaves out those kinds of details precisely because it allows for more imagination from the reader. Its just as effective as descriptive writing if you use it correctly. Apples and oranges, my friend.

*grins*
I liked this more than most fan fictions that I've read here!
Has nothing to do with the fact that my character(Silver Tala) has had some fun with Paelyn, Jaroth and Garton and they are all here in this lil fic!
Yay Troy!!!
Keep up the good work huns!

*runs off to find Garton*

Here's the promised review, friend.
First, come my compliments;
From what I've seen so far, it's fairly original work, with interesting characters.
Pacing's a bit fast, but that's not too bad.
My major problem is that you're Telling us the story.
You're not Showing; it makes it hard to visualize. What you have are the bare bones of a story.
Give us EYECANDY! Not overmuch, but enough to give our minds something to grasp.
Instead of:
e lifted his hands into the air and threw stones at the dog until he was quite sure it was dead.
How about more description.
He didn't simply 'throw stones' at the dog, did he?
He chucked them, hurled them, and pummeled the dog's still corpse with them until there was no chance that ANYTHING could have survived...not even the dog's fleas.
Remember, don't assume that people know things. I don't mean dumb down things,
again, describe them.
Heck, back to the rock;
It's a rock. People know what a rock is, but do they know what the rock your character's holding looks like?
Is it big? small? Speckled? Sharp? Rounded?
Remember, with original work you aren't able to lean on stuff others have done.
You're creating your own world. Let us see it.
Keep up the writing
