User blog:Hollyfire53/Fan Fiction Starters

Okay, so everyone knows my problem- too many fanfics (see my userpage). VF gave me great advice- work on one or two of the stories at once, then go back to the others (but you write down your ideas for the other stories). Well, this gave me a great idea- why not write all of my Prologues for the future stories on this page??? Then, when I finish some of my older stories like FOTS, EVTO, HFT, NM, and TS, I can move on to my other ones (finishing Bluestripe and improving AEW and LE), the ones started here as well.

So, let me know what you think (and should I continue them, or not)!

Prologue 1: Starting Darkness and Shadow
Lady Shadow leaned out of her chamber window in the fortress of Salamandastron. She breathed deeply, letting the cool night breeze wash over her. She sighed happily. Shadow was a strange badger, even for Badger Lady. She was all black, without the usual badger-stripe, with glittering silver eyes that missed nothing. Apart from simply looking strange, Shadow could see better at night then during the day, and was better at fighting with a javelin than with a sword. She was also good at persuading her armies to fight when they wanted to give up more than anything else- so it was no surprise that Salamandastron had the largest army in history under Lady Shadow. Most hares were secretly terrified of Lady Shadow, but all were willing to die for their stand-away leader. She was strange, but something drew the young hares to her, no matter if she led them to her death. And while Shadow was well aware of their devotion, there were very few that Shadow truly liked, liked enough to promote to Commander, that is. Nothing higher than a Captain in Shadow's army, and neither had there been anything higher than that- not in many of the hare's lifetimes. Suddenly, an alarm jerked Shadow back to reality. She pulled her head back in through the window and growled, "What is that racket?" The attendant-on-duty called up to her from down below, "Dinnae ye see t'ship yonder, headin' strayt for's, w'thy vermin flaeg flyin'?" Vermin ship! How had she missed it, with her head out the window?? "I'm comin'!" Shadow called down. Sweeping out of the room, she grabbed her helmet and armor, and her long, steel-plated javelin. Shadow looked at the point and smiled. "Jus' sharp enuff f'those vermin!"
