I entered mine just for fun. My WIP is far from done, but I like my first chapter.
This is a paragraph from my novel with the working title "The Shrouded Star." Let me know what you think.
In a certain kingdom, in a certain realm, on the eve of the Nahe'dra rising, a cloud of smoke whisked across the night sky beneath a crescent moon. Black piercing eyes searched the inward curves of snow covered alps. Sharp teeth appeared as lips parted in a fearsome grin. Abruptly the cloud descended into the uninhabited depths of a dark forest. Twigs snapped and leaves rustled as a fierce wind swept through the trees.
“She has arrived at last,” a voice whispered in the darkness.
“Why is she making so much noise? It's enough to wake the dead,” whispered another.
“Maybe that's the idea.”
