Part 1

The voice was full of rage. Full of righteous fury. Full of vengeance.
'Do you remember?'
He remembered. Centuries had past but he remembered.
Do you remember?
The youngest son, the spare spare.
Do you remember?
The third son, always weaker, always smaller.
Do you remember?
Nothing to inherit, nothing to offer, nothing to gain.
Do you remember?
Oh how he remembered.
The fear, the frustration. The Dreams. Like calls to like.
He remembered the day they met. So similar. He remembered the days that they planned. So elegant.
Oh how he remembered
The reflection in the mirror. Bloodied, broken. The praise of the father to the first. The sneer, the only acknowledgement for him. For the third.
If you beat a dog, you gain a beast. Fearsome. Mindless. A fate that he would not allow. The thought that was not his own. Monster you must be, lest monster you become.
Oh how he remembered
Like calls to like, and together dreams were made flesh. So simple, so elegant. The third became the second. The second became the first. No suspicion. No questions. How simple, how elegant. How vicious.
Do you remember?
He remembered. But that was a long time ago. When he was human. Centuries had past.

A moment had past.
He smiled. Cold. Vicious. Sadistic.
'Monster', the voice that was righteous had turned to dread.
'Monsters we are lest monsters we become. Your little tricks of faith will not aid you Hunter.'
With blinding speed he reach out. A short sharp snap sounded into the night.

Out of the shadows another steped and stood beside him looking down at the body with a smirk.
Like calls to like

'Well Xander, one less pain in the ass. Mind you I do miss having a good challenge like back in the olden days, remember them?'

'Yes, I do.'

Ok, so I have this plan. You write all the dramatic scenes, I'll do all the combat scenes and we'll meet halfway on the rest of the book and do it 50/50. Sound like a deal?

Kahn said...

So I take it you liked it.

Sounds like a good plan to me, i'm up for the drama and happy to leave the combat to you.

Salem said...

Cool. I'm much better at the hack and slash. I can do drama, it just takes me a lot of rewrites to do it properly though (or at least I think it does).

Now if only we could just record the conversations and transcribe them, that would be the bulk of the dialogue out of the way...

It was very nice though. Thank you.

Kahn said...

Sure we could record the conversations, and it would take care of dialogue. But it wouldn't be that quick considering how much nosence you would get inbetween the actual characters.

Salem said...

I thought that a lot of the nonsense would be from the characters since they were based lightly on ourselves personality-wise.

I do see your point though. Who wants to read the kind of drivel we go on about?

Kahn said...

Actually that is true. Like us it is part of their charm.

And I pose this to you, who honestly wouldn't want to read the crap that we speak?

Salem said...

Touche my good friend. Who indeed?

Frejak said...
