Life & Death ( a Fan fiction Story)
“I am a peasant. I am a peasant. A peasant. Nothing else” I told myself this every morning when I washed my hands looking into the mirror. I will never be one of those fancy horsemen or a skilled swordsman. Just a mere peasant. I’m expendable. I will never make a difference on the battlefield. Oh How wrong I was. I sat in my thatched hut during the rain, of course it leaked and it was no better inside than outside. I had stale bread and raw meat. Along with water that I swear people put mud in it on purpose. There was a festival going on outside as one of our most celebrated heroes, Sir Christian was coming home for a week. I Had hoped to be recruited under his command. I knew that would only be a dream though and nothing else. I was not invited to the Festival because I had duties to attend to.
On the day that Sir Christian returned home he began immediately looking for recruits.
He recruited exactly 6 champions, 8 crusaders, 4 griffins ( I had never felt comfortable around those things) 20 marksmen and 30 pikemen. On his seventh and final day before he left he rode along me and my ‘herd’ of other peasants working endlessly. He took pity upon us and decided to recruit us. You can only imagine how happy and excited I was and how much my life would change from that day.
I was really looking forward to getting in battle and getting some first hand experience. I trailed along behind Christians horse tirelessly and endlessly. We came across a Dragon cliffs where we were able to Recruit dragons. Much to our dismay it was guarded by 2 of them.
We challenged them to a battle to the death. You cannot imagine the fear and shock I went through. I expected to face Gnolls or Goblins on my first battle but most certainly not DRAGONS. I fought bravely though, one of their flames Scorched me on my left shoulder. The first Dragon was taken down by a Arrow though the heart courtesy of a marksman. The second was taken down by a Suicidal attempt by a brave Pikeman, Who Snuck up behind the thing and Leaped onto its back driving its Pike through the back of the heart of it. It fell backwards on him, crushing him Immediately. We were able to recruit Green dragons. Unfortunatly we had not enough room to carry them along on our Noble quest. He had to drop a stack of units. I knew what was coming next as he spoke the words “peasants, you may go”

pt 2
Me and my friends wandered for days and weeks looking for a hero that would take us in, and even so all the heroes that did pass us by were extremely hostile and wanted to fight. We ran like cowards of course. We decided to start a camp in the middle of nowhere, when along came a Necromancer out of all heroes, saying he will pay good money to hire us. We felt most extremely uncomfortable working along side Skeletons, Zombies, Vampires, Wraiths and Power liches. We fought a few battles, I got to see the inside of a necropolis and a Inferno- on a side note. Never ever go into an inferno. Unless you wish to sweat off 30 lbs a minute. There was word all over the tavern and necropolis that those petty humans were attacking us. I felt slightly abashed being human myself. On the day before my life *cough cough* changed forever we discovered my former master, Sir Christian was attacking us. I could not sleep that night, not one wink. I didn’t really know where my loyalties lay, and I wasn’t sure if I did try to turn back I would still be killed by my former allies. After a while I decided that I was sticking with the Necromancer all the way. That morning I was with half my strength having not slept. The alarm sounded as we were being attacked, I picked up my pitchfork and ran to the walls of the castle, and there he was. Sir Christian standing right there. He caught me and my friends out of the corner of his eye, I simply grinned. I also noticed that the dragons were no longer there. After the battle raged on for hours and hours on. I saw some things I had hoped to never see in my life. But I did, I had managed my way towards Christian and whispered to him “should never have left me” I raised my pitchfork high into the air..when I turned around and saw a crusader raise its sword high above my head, he brung it down without the slightest sound. I was dead before I knew it.

pt 3
It seemed like years when I finally stood up again, I realized my flesh was gone and wondered what happened. I looked around and saw the end result of the battle. It was horrible, there was body parts of all shapes and sizes around me. I looked around and the undead army was retrieving their stuff. I slowly pieced together piece by piece. From what I understand Sandro had won the war and I was resurrected as a skeleton. It was horrible. I had no emotions whatsoever and I saw what the insides of my rib cage looked like. My once handsome facial features were now just a pure white bone. I looked to Sandro and for some reason he was grinning, a split second later I realized why. He had a silver platter in his hand, and on top of the platter was none other than Sir Christians head himself. We gathered our stuff and trotted through the cluttered of body parts, extra careful to step on what would be Sir Christians body.
When we got back to the Necropolis there was a enormous party going on. It amazes me that I thought the undead were a bunch of mindless, careless creatures. When in fact they were just like normal living humans- except dead and rotting. We drank all night, though it really kind of sucked seeing as wraiths and wights are basically ghosts. No one knows what a dread knight looks like under its armor so we don’t know if its really undead- and skeletons and skeleton warriors have no tongue or taste buds. The zombies were the only ones who could really drink.
Our next battle was against Astral the wizard, whom was foolish enough to attack our castle with 50 master gremlins and 4 gargoyles! But it turns out the old man had more than it looked. Lets just say that lightning bolt really hurts. We won of course and the coward Astral ran like a scalded dog. I turned around to Face Sandro with a grin, and all I saw was his head rolling down a hill and the rest of his ‘body’ was mere dust. I was in immense shock as I discovered he had stepped on a land mine! Damn that Astral! I turned around to leave, when I saw that the ‘fool’ wasn’t such a fool after all he had only brought a small amount of his creatures into the first battle. Did I mention that titans are very huge? We had no commanding officer so I was gonna take control of the mission, I started out by saying “WE SURREN-“ and was cut off watching the chain lightning hit the first troop, then the second. Third. then me.

There are some problems with the story:
You say that once you turned into a skeleton you had no emotion yet later you exclaim that you were 'immensed in shock' and things were 'horrible'...that sounds like you have emotion to me.
Also there is really a very droll amount of detail when you are going through the story. Meaning you only really explain whats happening to the character instead of whats happening in his environment to make a real mood.
Some parts seem to be raced just to get to another part of a story without devoloping what was previously said.
Once I find more I will tell you, since I didnt actually read the whole thing but was skimming through it.

D***.. pretty wicked man. You've either had a burst of creativity (which is rare) or a talent. To even think of writing about something from the peasants *life* is a huge creation.
Shew.. I could go for some more short stories like that
