Darkslayer Chronicles Part One(Prologue)
::=]

(this is like the prologue of the book)

~As Serafin watched in horror, the largest and darkest shadowspirit he had ever seen emerged from the edifice. He then came to the horrid realization that this shadow creature was a demonshade. The large building in the now isolated city was used as for church, school, and bonding ceremonies before the Great War began. Very meticulously Serafin began to wrap the holyweed onto his hand, wrist and up his arm. He was already wearing his magic whitecloth attire and face covering, but it was necessary that all his flesh was covered with either whitecloth, holyweed or dove feathers. If he made one mistake, and even the smallest part of his skin was touched by a shadowspirit, let alone this demonshade, there would be fatal consequences.

~Although young for a darkslayer, Serafin was anything but ignorant. Trained in a family of a super naturalist mother and darkslayer for a father, Serafin had been surrounded by all things paranormal while growing. He was forced to learn the vital techniques to protect himself at a very young age. Unfortunately, his training had been cut short after a fatal accident. At the young age of only fourteen he and his sister, Syaine who was a year older, were alone in their fight against the DarkWorld.

~After both Serafin`s parents were debreathed during one of the largest battles they had fought in, he and his sister made a pact. The siblings assented that whatever they did their powers could not be taken and used for the DarkWorld`s advantage. Meaning they could not be debreathed. The two agreed they would die fighting before they would relinquish their powers. And fight, the two siblings did. For a year and 9 moons, they fought the DarkWorld and defeated almost all the shadow creatures they encountered.

~In the midst of their grief they swore a pact and ceremonially made them as one. They each drank on ounce of the other`s blood and pricked the tip of each finger in their left hands. Then they proceeded to recite an enchantment which would make them of one person. This ritual gave them the highest of sympathy; if and when one was injured the pain and injury would be equally distributed between the two. Also, if one began to be debreathed, the sibling`s soul would entwine itself upon the other soul, causing the two souls to mesh together. The two souls would then reside in the protected sibling`s body until it was safe for the other to return to it`s own.

~Unfortunately, something had gone terribly wrong during the last battle. A shadowspirit, which Serafin would later learn was a demonshade, disengaged the pact between Syaine and Serafin had established. It then proceeded to debreathe Syaine, so forcing her to join the Dark side and betray the LightFaction. But before the demonshade had a chance to rid Serafin of his soul, something amazing, and awful, occurred. A light consisting of pure white swirling with black engulfed him and he was teleported to the forest behind the large edifice building. This was where he saw the demonshade appear and he finally conceded that this was his destiny.

~Luckily for Serafin, the shadow creature had not seemed to catch sight of him yet. Still, soon it would not belong until the demonshade would feel his aura. Serafin knew what he must do. He must defeat the head demonshade and release his family`s, and the rest of those debreathed, souls from the dark curse that was set upon the LightWorld.

    Impressive. Before I read I thought, wow a long write, but the fact you kept me reading made it pass quicker, it even made me want to read more.
    Your diction was very appropriate for the subject matter, and also the audience, I feel.
    The first two paragraphs, and maybe the third as well, were very well written and gradually built up the openning story of events before the tale. It's important this isn't rushed, and it wasn't.
    The first sentance of the third paragraph ends with "faught in" I thought this would sound easier as just "faught".
    The story starts to come along in the fourth paragraph as you very graphically described the ceremony.
    While the fifth paragraph was good, I felt it moved too quickly. Maybe some description of the shadowspirit? Also some more depth of how it debreathed Syaine...the part about the teleport was more or less ok with descriptions, but a bit more there wouldn't go amiss. Maybe you realised how much you'd written and began to condense ideas, I don't know, but you mustn't - it's a great write.
    The ending paragraph was just enough to end with yet not enough be a full conclusion, which is what made me want to read more.
    Well done, great write overall.
