Final Moments of the Fallen Gods

Jurixe · February 2013

I wasn't planning to post this so soon since it's not really finished, but I'm feeling kind of bleh at the moment so well, might as well for whoever wants to read them, else they'll just be gathering dust in my pastebin.

The idea hit me at work when I was trying to decide whether or not to try for the Bardics this cycle. What it's meant to be, if you haven't already guessed from the title, is the final moment of each of the fallen gods during the Bal'met event. (Yes more Bal'met stuff rawr).

I was going to do all the dead/lost gods, then I realised there are twenty of them.

I'll still try, but no promises.

I do apologise in advance if I get any of the descriptions/mannerisms of the gods wrong, since they're all just based off my imagination + some old descriptions. Feel free to PM me about them. The ones in this link are Kastalia, Hermes, Daedalus, Matsuhama, and Miramar, in order of who perished first. I'm halfway through writing Apollyon now.

Hmm...nope, nothing really left to say. Critiques and such are welcome. Enjoy.

oh man. Love Hermes's. Love it

Tanaar · February 2013

Loved all of them. Jurixe, you should join the Naga exodus and bring your writing skills to New Shallam

@Tanaar: NO

@Jurixe: I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of Matsuhama. My favourite part was his internal monologue here -

"The battlefield was what separated boys from men. Leaders from followers. It would spawn heroes and legends that would last through the centuries to come.

Immortality."

Hermes' gave me shivers. Love all of them.

Halos · February 2013

Really great. I love this. More please.

I am excited to see what your spin on the viewpoints and deaths of Oneiros and Tarah is.

Jurixe · February 2013

Quite a few people have been wanting to see Tarah's. Admittedly, I haven't yet given hers much thought, I'm a little nervous now.

You guys definitely have provided motivation for me to continue writing, though, so thanks for that. I've revised Matsuhama again, as well. I'm slightly irked that i won't be able to write for a few days, but am already looking forward to continuing it when I can!

I never get enough of reading these stories and accounts. They are so captivating and well written.

Achilles · February 2013

I want to see what the Dala'myrr were thinking when Babel pitted them.

I probably should wait to finish these in batches of five, but I've been writing for eight hours non stop so you only get four for now. Maybe I'll finish Melantha tonight.

For any of those who still keep updated on this topic, I present Apollyon, Selene, Indrani and Pandemonium!

A few notes:

Apollyon was my favourite to write, and I think it's pretty obvious by how long it is. <_< I make no apologies!

I took a little creative liberty (license?) with Indrani's; I know the script said Pandemonium only said one word at the end, but the ending sentence just popped in my head and I liked it enough to put it in.

The link in the original post includes these new versions, and is a complete listing of all the stories so far. I have included a link below to a pastebin with only the new stories, but I'd recommend using the old link if you have the time - I've updated Matsuhama (again, he's so hard to get right) and if I make any revisions to any of the stories, it'll be in that link.

Also, if anyone has a log of what happened to Melantha after she got impaled by Sycaerunax, would appreciate being sent it very much, otherwise imagination it is.

Um, yup. Here you go!

Edit: Also if any admin want to be nice and remove the (Part 1) in the title for me (since I'll probably be updating them all in this topic), that would be really nice of you!
