Maleki

A Poem by Reuben Porter
"

**SPOILER WARNING** This piece is based on the novel set that I am currently in the process of writing, it may reveal parts of the plot that have not been exposed yet!

"

    Maleki kneels atop a large stone mound, all that remains of his lost mother, praying to Archondrix, The Soul Keeper for her safety. A large sword forged from a fallen star sits on his back, bound like a slave to be used when useful, a tool of war, a tool of death.
    His coal black hair, reaches his shoulders in Elven braids, despite his blood being solely of Human heritage, he lives with these people now, worships with these people now, they are his family now.
    He was trained as a Sorcerer under the famed Kinathey, a master Elven spellcaster, who spent his whole life mastering the magical arts. Now Maleki roams the world, a soldier lost in a world of war, he has given up the battle, he sees no need to fight a war that will never end.
    Visions of death fill his head, the faces of every being he has ever slaughtered flashes before his eyes. He is tormented by his past, tormented by the evil of his ways. Once a boy destined for greatness, now a man who wishes for anything but.
    Hate fills his heart, pain fills his life, fury fills his mind. His evil is unleashed.

This is based around the Deity Wars series, a project I am currently working on in my first set of books to be a trilogy, Deity Wars - The Dark Reign. The first book of the trilogy is "The Apprentice of Guardians" and follows the story of the man described above.

its a good character..... hopefully you dont beat me in the character contest hhahaha... good luck though very descriptive work........ this was my favorite line (His coal black hair, reaches his shoulders in Elven braids) The only thing if i got to say a negative thing is..... i watch alot of movies and theres alot of characters like your character in a way... i havent read your book yet to compare it to anything but thers alot of movies like.... war with jet Li where people loose their family and then go out on killing sprees.... Same with Vin Diesel in A man apart....... so if you can make your story more orginal with twists then that would be better then the average killing war story.... anyways thats just my opinion
