“Madam Gaia” he bowed as he spoke, “sorry to disturb your rest, I may have come at a bad time but I must tell you something off great importance thou I may have to wait until Lady Jewel comes…….” He said. “I already know, Jewel told me about your proposal and I am happy for both of you, you have my blessing” she said then chuckled a bit when she said “son-in-law”, he stood shocked for a moment but recovered with a smile, he walked over, picked up her hand and kissed the back of her hand, he was being polite. “Thank you Madam, I will let you get your rest, to gather up your strength for when we are heading the wedding” Nathaniel said. “This will strengthen the alliance we have between us”, this shocked him a little bit but before he could say anything she spoke again, “I have seen the future and I am not in it but Jewel is leading this house both in the battlefield and in the court”. He was speechless, he sat by her side and was quiet for the next ten minutes, she fell asleep and he walked out quietly muttering a prayer to Khaine to keep her safe from harm. After leaving the house he headed for the wall, has he neared the city wall he heard a horn was sounding off in the distance so he ran up the wall steps to see what it was, the rangers were galloping back but they were being followed by raiders who were banishing their weapons. He ran to the stables and climbed on a horse that was there, he galloped off out of the city gates towards the rangers, he had fire in his eyes and has he let go of the reins and glided the horse with his knees, he fired off arrows at the raiders, flames were on his hands but they weren’t burning him so he used them by firing them at the raiders, throwing them from their horses on the ground hard. One look from the rangers as he rode past was off fear that he was out of control but he had friends to protect and a future wife he also had to protect. He jumped down and drew his sword but by then the raiders were driving their horses in for the kill then some off them were thrown backwards, Nathaniel looked around and saw the rangers were firing their bows at the attackers so he ran follow crying out his war cry, his sword was now on fire, the flames from his hand was flowing through his sword. The others were now running to stand by his side as the attackers came on relentlessly, he charged into them swinging sword cutting a raider from shoulder to groin, the next was fighting with two swords and the ranger that was fighting him was losing, Nathaniel brought out a throwing knife and logged it at the man, the knife hit the raiders head, point driving into the man’s eye stopping at his brain, he fell on his back, the ranger nodded his thanks and attacked another, some of the other rangers watched from the back because they had their injured comrades. Horns blew in the city as the fighting men ran out of the gates towards the fight shouting “FOR ALDRICH THE GREAT”, the raiders heard this and lost their heart in the fight, they turned and fled leaving their dead and wounded behind as they fled. As the swordsmen drew closer what they saw was horribling, the dead men were raising from the ground, their eyes were blue, no life in them, Nathaniel all the men back to the city but the sight he caught was worst, they was a army of dead walking towards them, he thought of his family, his fiancée that was behind him so he drew his energy from in him. Lady Gene dropped the book she was reading, a chill went up her spine as she felt magical energies being drawn from somewhere close by, then she felt a dark evil closer than the other power and one name sprang to mind, Nathaniel. She grabbed her staff and looked out towards the city walls and her son preparing a spell of great strength that rivalled her brother’s most powerful spell. She saw the swordsmen and rangers run back away from the enemy and her son but just then as the enemy was within touching distance Nathaniel released the spell shouting a phrase in elfish “FIRE BLAST SHOCKWAVE”, she saw the enemy fly back burning down to the bone then saw him fall over backwards but another powerful shockwave came from the forest when half the zombie army were getting back up on their feet and were turned to ash. She got on a horse and rode off towards her son, Jewel was there holding his head, a figure in white and blue robes walked over and muttered a few elfish words and Nathaniel was opening his eyes to see that the figure was actually his uncle Aurora who was kneeling beside him, his face was a little red from the spell he cast. “Hello dear sister, I was in Athel Loren when I had to see you, it’s important that I talk to you but first let us take care off these brave warriors” he said and as he moved the leader leapt at him swinging his axe at his head, before Aurora could defend himself, a dagger flew past him and the point of the blade dug into the attackers head, the man fell over, the mo? continued past them where he rolled then stopped dead. They looked round to see Nathaniel standing another dagger in his hand ready in case he got up before but he was muttering an elfish incantation, they looked at him as if he was saying a spell but the words were old, Aurora have only heard the words from lore masters back on the island. “Nathaniel, Nathaniel are you alright my son” Gene said but before she could say anything his sword was glowing, he started to walk towards them, sword in hand the elfish words were getting louder, a spirit of Khaine was with him because they could see the Elvin god walking with him, they started to run and all they heard from him was a phrase in elfish, “DIE DAEMON, GO BACK TO THE HELL YOU CAME FROM” he ran past them and jumped high slashing the air and they heard a inhuman scream from the space, then they saw it, a fiend of slaanesh. It was cut from the shoulder to the chest, black blood was dripping from its wound, Aurora’s blade was humming with power, he drew it out and started to attack it, Gene drew the magical powers from the wind and fired the light of Khaine at the daemon. The people in the city saw what was happening, many turned away from the horrible sight, others fainted, soldiers vomited even the lord himself turned away pale, then a soldier shouted “the elves are fighting the beast”, he looked back and saw something fighting with his son, it wasn’t his brother-in-law or wife, it was something else. All three of the fighters fell back, all three drawn on their powers to send the beast back, Nathaniel was the last one to blast it, his spell was longer incantation to complete but then the light that shined from his eyes was so bright that Lady Gene and her brother Lord Aurora looked away just before the blast, all they heard was “Khaine’s judgement” but the voice wasn’t his, it was as if someone had used his body, when they looked back they saw the fiends body being turned into a pile of ash. They saw him fall over exhausted, Jewel limped over and held her fiancée in her arms, kissing his forehead softly, his horse walked up and nuzzled his head, the city was cheering for their excellence, they gathered up the injured and the dead and headed for the city. They were greeted by civilians that had watched the fight, the rangers were walking, watching for an ambush, any attackers in the crowd but there was none, sisters of Shallya came to help the souls that were injured in the fight against the enemy, and the dead were taken to the priests of Morr for their pasting into the afterlife, black templars were watching the process in case any evil spirits dared to disturb the priests in their work.

Not bad. Its a medieval fantasy right? The story seems really interesting. But the main problem is the run-on sentences. Paragraphs maybe need to be split. Becuase when I look at it on the screen it look like a whole bunch of text, granted in a book it might look different. But work on sentence structure making sure they dont run too long. Like this one: Quote: He ran to the stables and climbed on a horse that was there, he galloped off out of the city gates towards the rangers, he had fire in his eyes and has he let go of the reins and glided the horse with his knees, he fired off arrows at the raiders, flames were on his hands but they weren’t burning him so he used them by firing them at the raiders, throwing them from their horses on the ground hard. They might be more as well. Its too many things jumble in one sentence that gets the reader confused really. Having a period besides commas everywhere gives a pause in the thoughts.

Um, maybe you could space it out some. I know it doesn't look as impressive when you do, but it makes it so much easier to read for others.
