DotA: The Final War

[Jnvn]

This is my first DotA fanfic, so I apologize if my wordplay may not seem as beautiful as some of the other talented writers on here. I also may not update as frequently as some, so bear with me

This fanfic is set in a normal game of DotA, but kept as realistic as possible (heroes don't return from death after a minute or two). Part 1 is somewhat of an introduction to the line-up of heroes; I have tried to make it as entertaining as possible, and avoid repetition so as not to make your reading experience monotonous.

Enjoy!

DotA, The Final War: Part 1
-----------------------------------

From afar, the majestic sound of the war horns stirred the adrenaline in his blood. Kael shifted in his cloak, looking around; all was silent. For now. Wielding the fury of the elements, (and at this particular moment, fire) he was confident he could bring down anything the Scourge threw at him. By the blood of his kin, he swore, he would end this war, and topple the Frozen Throne once and for all.

On the other side of the river, Anub'arak waited patiently by the Ziggurat. He was not particularly fond of killing. The undead Nerubian did not experience elation each time he felled an enemy with his mighty stingers, unlike the sadistic Necrolyte. But to carry out his job swiftly and silently, to eliminate another threat, did somewhat satisfy him. He was, after all, the Nerubian Assassin. So he continued to wait, his mind sharp and alert, for his next victim.

Standing in the middle of a clearing, Akasha stretched her bat-like wings. Surely there could be nothing worse than fighting alongside this..abomination. She did not mind the Ghouls, nor the Banshees - though their cries were irritating. No, this one deserved a special place on her list. Just being near him made her want to make a beeline to the World Tree and end it there and then. Yes, she'd finish this quickly, she decided. Then she wouldn't have to deal with the incredible stench of Pudge, the Butcher.

Below a particularly shady tree, Kardel Sharpeye was busy polishing his rifle. No mistakes would be permitted, not in his field. And he had all the time in the world to make certain of that; for the treants wouldn't be arriving yet - they were still quite far away. He, of all people, knew the importance of timing and distance. Mirana Nightshade, however, sat atop her mighty Frostsaber, eyes vigilant. She looked poised to strike - clearly anxious for battle. The Sniper sighed. What was the rush? The game would come, all in good time.

Across the forest, Alleria Windrunner admired the beauty of her surroundings. A cool breeze caressed her face; and for a moment, she felt right at home. Yet a mere few steps away, the land reeked of blight; and she would not stand for this. She glanced to her right, and by her side, on horseback, was the Keeper of the Light, Ezalor. He looked to be in deep contemplation, and Alleria couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. In the past, she had heard much about him, both good and bad. But one thing of which she was sure was that the infamous wizard would be an invaluable ally. And that was all she needed to know.

A short distance away from them, however, Medusa stood, her intentions but the polar opposite of Alleria's. She limbered all four of her arms; her bow at the ready. The heat of hellfire from the Doom Guard's blade felt unbearable on her scales, and it made the Gorgon long for the cooling waters of her ocean home. Still, nothing would be allowed to stand in the Scourge's way; and when she heard the Sentinel were staging another attack, she arrived at the undead stronghold with anticipation. This time, she felt certain that they would certainly bring down the World Tree - for at her side, she had the power of Lucifer, the Doom Bringer. And she would gladly assist him in what doing what he did best.

The single, shrill note of the war horns came to an end.

"And she would gladly assist him in what doing what he did best."--first "what" isn't needed.

This is good. It's always a pleasure to read someone with good English, and there are WAY too many fictions out there with such horrible English that they maul perfectly good storylines. Your story has painted a very nice picture and it's very promising. Please finish this!

[Fire525]

This is good. Good use of the storyline already there. Can't wait for second part. Just wondering, will the setting of your story be as small the actual DOTA map?
