Okay, this is how it works: if you want to participate you read the posts before yours, and then add on a sentence. Not a paragraph (though I know some of you are dedicated enough to try Posted Image

) just a sentence [e]or two[/e]. Then, you get to wait for at least three other people to post after you before you get another shot. If you want to pull together a group of four people to post in the story one after another, that's fine, but you have to take turns and let three other people get a chance before you go. We'll [hopefully] see how this story turns out.

Good luck!

==========

Dawn crept slowly through the streets of Kosha, signaling the start of the new year, and the beginning of an adventure for an unsuspecting heroine.

"Ow!" said Dawn, looking at the scrapes on her hands caused by creeping along the gravelly streets.

Suddenly, a door opened in house Comana, and a large man came out.

Dawn quickly leapt up and behind a nearby wall away from the man.

Dawn listened to them, but suddenly she got on her feet and ran away when she heard one of them drawing a sword and running in her direction.

Glancing behind herself and seeing the man hard on her heels, she called, "You'll never get away with this, Nwad!"

What Dawn didn't know was that Nwad had already been dealt with, a new adversary was behind this attack.

When Dawn looked back again, she noticed that another man, dressed in dark robes, was also following her.

He was guarded by dozens of the feared ruffians and brigand warriors.

Suddenly, Dawn found she had ran into a dead-end, which is odd because there aren't that many dead-ends in Kosha, so she stopped running and asked, "What do you want with me?"

Suddenly she laughed as she realized that she was no longer being chased. But in the distance, she heard a boom coming from the direction of Comana, and that boom could be caused by nothing other than a bomb.

EDIT: Oopsy, that's two sentences. Please don't hurt me.

A crolna came forth from the explosion and landed in Dawn's hand, but that was when a guard in Kosha grabbed her saying "we have to get out of here!"

"Who are you?" Dawn shrieked as she slipped out of the guard's grasp, something inside telling her that this man was not who he seemed to be.

"That's not important," the 'guard' growled, but as he made a grab for her again, Dawn saw a piece of parchment with writing on it fall to the ground.

On the parchment, the address 66 Mulligan Bone Alley, warehouse district, Cademia, was scribbled.

Dawn knew that adress, her father used to work there; it was nothing more then an empty stack of crates.

The 'guard' shrieked, as he saw Dawn read the familiar address, which, was being used by the 'guard' and his comrades for storing kesh and magical weapons of mass destruction.

Dawn suddenly realised she needed to get away from the guard. She knew little in the way of magic, but she was able to create a mystic arrow and launch it at her enemy. She then ran out of town, north in the direction of Cademia.

(hey! one sentence next time! Posted Image

)

Dawn stopped and looked around in confusion for a moment before turning around and running in the real direction that would take her north.
