Legends of Elenda

This is my first short story to be post here and it's currently being written. I have the main storyline down, so all I have to do is write it. Basicly, it's similar to LotR. In fact, it nearly starts out like The Silmarillion (The Valaquenta, to be exact). and ends like the Alkallabeth.

So, here's what it's about. There's this mythical world created by the gods and it's inhabited by men and elves (i'm so creative) The leaders of the two races are given powerful magical swords. However, one of the gods grew jealous and sets out to destroy the world. The two races come together and battle evil's army. This is just bare basics. There will be more to the story. The opening will come soon, maybe within 2-3 days.

Sounds like this will be interesting. Post it soon!

I am very, very lazy, but since now I'm on vaction (yeah, spring break!), I should be able to get to it. JUst a not, some of the names may change as I work on the languege. Everything is still tentative, but should be close to what I want

In case you're wonding, I am now re-writting the opening chapter. Believe me, it's hard to come up with a creation story like in the Sil

Well, here's the very begining. The names are only temp, so they may change once I work on the lang.

There was once a great and empty void. There was no light, there was no up or down or any physical force that is know today. There was however, a powerful energy force that flowed through the Void. Over a long period of time, these forces began to come together to a single body of energy. Slowly, the centralized energy force began to control surrounding energies. The single body of energy became alive and it called itself Alogoath. His power was great, for he controlled the Denlas, as they would be called later by elves, with ease, and the Denlas obeyed his wishes.
Time passed and he gathered more energy to him. With this, he began to have ideas and desires. Though they were often strange and random, he had the power to think. He started to come up with a vague idea to create a world and have others to enjoy his happiness, but as hard as he tried, he failed. His powerful control over the Denlas was not what he needed; he needed a vision, something that could inspire him. Some of the Denlas gave him ideas, but he could not make sense of all the ideas.
Alogoath decided that the Denlas alone would not suffice; therefore he began to pool together the surrounding Denlas into ten bodies. In addition, he gave to each some of his own Denlas that gave him the ability to think. Each body had different types of Denlas because he wanted a wide range of opinions and different Denlas would cause his new creations to think differently. After a long time, each pool had enough Denlas to be able to control itself. First to emerge was Xeros, then Nolatha and from one pool came two, Aladen and Oloden. Later came Relor, Kwalana, Thlalos, Din, Nayru, Favore and Galanthar. The eleven creations of Alogoath were called Vearnas.
Xeros was the most powerful of the eleven; his might impressed all, even Alogoath. Nolatha was the kindest, and most compassionate. She loved all of Alogoath’s creations. Aladen and Oloden were both very assertive and close to each other, for they were like brothers. Aladen was slightly older and had more power, but Oloden returned the love that Nolatha gave. Relor was the craftiest and the most creative of the eleven. His mind was full of ideas. Kwalana had some of Nolatha’s love and Relor’s creativeness. She was the one who wanted life in the Void. Thlalos had a deep mind and was a great thinker and loved to debate with the other Vearnas. The last of the Vearnas to form was Galanthar, the most different of all the Vearnas. He did not get along with the Creations of Alogoath and tried to force his ideas upon The Eleven. He wanted some of Xeros’s power, but Alogoath denied hid request. A dark side began to emerge from Galanthar, yet Alogoath continued to trust him.
Through the council of the Vearnas, Alogoath now knew what he wanted. He saw an ever-expanding universe filled with galaxies, stars and planets. He saw one world that was special; a place where there could be life; a place where his work could be marveled. He called this place Elendia, the Great Life. Now that his mind knew what he wanted, was able to have the Denlas form what he wanted. Each of the Vearnas added to the formation of Elendia.
Xeros, being the mightiest, raised the ground up and formed great mountain ranges. Nolatha used her love to make the ground fetile, so the trees and plants may live. Galanthar began to try to corrupt Aladen and had him flood the world, so only a single landmass remained. At first, Alogoath and Xeros were angry with Aladen, but they began to realize that is was a good idea to have a massive ocean. They receded the water levels slightly so that there was more land. Aladen would become the Master of the Seas. Oloden wanted to please Nolatha and created 5 rivers across Elendia and a great lake to give nourishment to Nolatha’s forest and plains. These waters were of pure water so that all who drinks from Oloden’s waters shall live forever in peace.

Sorry, I havn't had time to write my story. After school's out. I'll write more

not bad stuff AE, how "original" 😛

but in all serious it was interesting....

OK, so it's similar to the Music of the Ainur, but it will get better. Some will come *hopefully* this weekend. I *might* finish it by then, the first chapter. After that, 9 more to go!

So far, I think it's really good, a lot of detail for a first chapter, but this can come good if the rest of the story continues this way clap

😉

OK, quick update. Today is the day I'm working on it. Expect the full first chapter and part of the second chapter up later today. Time to do some writing. As a note, the language is still not set, so names *may* change as I write it, but not today.
