Some short stories I wrote a few years ago
    #7554822 - 10/24/07 12:41 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Around 2000, I played a MUD called The Creators Shadow pretty extensively. It's actually where I got the nickname 'trendal' from! It was a Wheel of Time based MUD, and I had the pleasure of playing through The Last Battle followed by "the turning of the wheel".

Anyway, I found a bunch of the stories I had written to advance my character. Note that I copied this all from a text file, so any mistakes that were there, are there. This is all based around The Wheel of Time.

Trendal fought with the emotions flooding through his head. He had
learned to handle the flood of thoughts from the wolves around him since The
Pack was formed, but it had all gone wrong in the past few hours.

Now he stood at one end of Tarwins Gap, surrounded by a small group of
wolves. The larger Pack stood a ways of to his left, slightly apart from
the armies of two-legs. Each of the 25, 000 wolves stood staring down the
Gap, hackles rising on their backs. A flood of hate and anger washed over
him, threatening to wash away his humanity along with his mind. It was
taking all of his effort to keep the wolves from running to The Hunt without
waiting. He was not entirely sure he could hold them as long as was
needed.

The beginning of a sending from the front lines of wolves was all the
warning he had before a roar split the air. A quick glance showed the
Shadowspawn army in full charge. Holding the wolves in place was taking
every ounce of power he had. A volley of arrows, so many he wondered why
the sky did not darken, rose from behind the charging army. Instead of
landing, the arrows bounced harmlessly off what Trendal decided was
something of The Dragon's work.

As the two-leg armies readied themselves for the onslaught, whole sections
of the Gap began to tear themselves to peices. Bodies of the Twisted-ones
began to pile up. As he watched the advancing army, a feint odour of;
sulphur tingled in his nose. The Pack smelled the same thing, and almost
broke free to run. The words Shadow Brother thundered through his head,
sent by The Pack all at once. Enemies that the wolves had stronger hate for
then even the Neverborn had arrived.

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Note: #0309 From: Trendal Time: Thu Mar 30 17:57:37 2000
Area: Stories To: Wolfkin Cerise Torrain Zandor Borderguard all
Subj: Tarwins Gap (2/3)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The first line of twisted-ones reached the defenses, and fell. The
second line made it slightly farther, but fell. Trendal lowered his head to
his hands and closed his eyes, concentrating on keeping the wolves where
they were. He felt the first wolf begin to run, and decided to let go of
the rest before he lost himself. The Pack rushed, as one, towards the front
line of twisted-ones who were now partially obscured by Aiel.

The moment the first wolf sunk its teeth into the first twisted-one, Trendal
tasted it. The taste was almost enough to send him running towards the
battle, but he held. Then the first casualty came. He felt the sword stab
into his side, felt the pain as the wolf died. WinterNight. The name
echoed through his mind as the wolf's body died, it's soul going to the
Dream. Perhaps the Dream would be kind to it, he hoped.

Only moments after the first wolf attacked, the Shadow Brothers came in to
view, heading straight for The Pack. With the strong smell of sulphur
filling the air, the wolves abandoned their assault on the twisted-ones and
met with their Shadow tainted brothers. More and more pain lanced through
Trendal as the Shadow Brothers began their work. He tried to call the
wolves, let them know there was no chance against this foe, but it did not
work. The wolves fought as they always did, without care for hurt or loss
of life. A quick look to either side showed his Brother Dawnfire and Sister
DawnHunter in pain as he was. Light, he did not think it would be so bad.

Wolves fell by the dozens, but where one fell, hundreds more took it's
place. A quick count showed no more then 12 Shadow Brothers. Wolves began
grouping together in groups of fifty or sixty and attacking in groups.
Finally, Shadow Brothers began falling. One here. Another there. Trendal
tried urging the wolves to find other fighting, let the two-legs who touch
the wind that moves time take care of the Shadow Brothers. But they did not
move. The pain soon became too great to handle and Trendal stumbled
forward, landing on his knees with his head in his hands.

Forcing his eyes open, Trendal looked about to see what was happening.
His Brother Lupus rode up as DawnHunter helped him to his feet. Light! The
pain! Just as he stood up, a wave of confussion and horror washed through
his mind. Cries of why? came through the Sending from the wolves. What
he saw sickened him. Wolves where attacking wolves. More, two-legs where
attacking two-legs. An Aiel he was sure had died only moments before rose
slowly and began hacking at a nearby two-legs. He began to smell something
he could only describe as wrong. Brother, they have no minds came a
Sending. A quick survey of the two-leg armies showed shocked faces, as he
was sure his looked. Dawnfire turned to him, about to say something. "The
dead are fighting!"
Trendal nodded and turned to face the battle. Pain
continued to wash into his conciousness, but he was too numb to feel it. He
used every bit of power he had left to call the wolves back, sending the
image of The Pack gathered around the two-legs. The wolves howled, and he
took up the howl, echoed by his Brother and Sister.

The wolves turned to run, but met up with the remaining Shadow Brothers and
the Wrong Brothers. The Pack stopped and began fighting again, with no
where left to run. Trendal turned to his Sister, his face a bitter snarl.
"We must fight with them, Sister. The Last Hunt is here" he said. She
nodded and he turned to his Brother, who only nodded. As one, they ran out
to their Brothers and Sisters and joined the fight. Trendal stabbed the
first twisted-one he found from the back, driving his blade home. Before
moving on, he turned the screaming body around and tore its throat out with
his teeth. The taste of blood, the cries of his Kin, and the battle washed
over him, threatening to take away his humanity, make him a wolf.

After only moments, Trendal stopped to look around. All around him wolves
fought; Shadow Brothers and other, slow moving, wolves. Men in black cloaks
and women moved around trying to get at the Shadow Brothers. He looked up
the Gap to the two-leg armies, and decided it was over. Come, Brothers was
all he said as he lifted his face and howled to the sky. Wolves began
running towards the two-leg armies, snapping teeth at anything that got in
the way. Trendal looked to find his Sister and Brother, and ran to catch up
with them.

By the time the three Kin made it back to the end of the Gap, there was
little fighting. The middle of the pass was completely blocked now by rock
and dirt. A few small bunches of twisted-ones still fought, but nothing to
cause trouble. With a low groan, Trendal dropped to his knees and howled.
The howl was quickly taken up by The Pack, mourning their dead. Trendal
fell back on the dirt, tears streaming down his face.

We did well, Brothers, we did well. But was it worth the cost?
