Hello everyone, I am Natsu Dragneel. A user on these forums who can't play TF2 as much as I used to because of Tiger Asian Parents. So anyway, it's my first time attempting at writing and I have an outline of a story I might write in the near future. Criticism, suggestions and commentary accepted!
Story Planning:
Main Characters:
Talus
Claire
Soth
Antagonist:
Echo
Setting: (Pre-modern; medieval; fictional with magic)
The Land of Chaelis
The town of Lapid
The city of Seil
The temple of Krislt
Saphros Mountain
Story Events:
· Starts off mid-battle against Echo atop Saphros Mountain.

· As they journey along a road they find, they encounter a small horde or ogres and demons.
· Soth uses this to their advantage and helps Talus and Claire learn how to fight.
· They defeat all of the monsters and find gold, weapons and armors left behind. Soth explains to them how monsters drop things after being defeated.
· Talus's stomach growls and Claire looks like she ran a marathon.
· Soth decides for them to go to the nearest city he knows.
· They walk to Seil, a well-defended city a few miles away.
· They enter the city and find a place to rest.
· They listen in on conversations and gain more information on Echo.
· The next day, Soth leads them to a trainer he knows.
· Soth leaves them without saying why.
· The trainer's name is Mahli.
· They are taught in the arts of swordplay and magic.
· Eventually, they learn that Soth had gone to the Krislt temple in order to obtain the tools to defeat Echo.
· Echo's voice drifts through their heads and inform them that Soth has been captured.
· They decide to go after Soth and free him.
· They journey up to the temple defeating many enemies.
· They enter and are confronted with a huge multitude of traps.
· They enter a giant chamber decorated with many jewels and precious metals.
· A giant demon is sleeping in front of a giant blue crystal that holds Soth.
· They wake and barely manage to defeat the demon.
· As they approach the crystal, blue flames erupt out of nowhere and launch them backwards.
· Talus and Claire are shocked to realize that their own father is surrounded in the blue flames.
· He speaks and it isn't their father's voice, it's Echo's.
· Echo explains that their Father is his new vessel.
· Talus is angered.
· They attack at once, but are blown away easily.
· Claire attacks, but is blown back. She blacks out.
· Talus is enraged further. A strange mark appears on his hands.
· Talus is enveloped in red energy. His saber lengthens, strengthens and becomes swifter.
· Echo is briefly surprised, but regains his composure and attacks.
· Talus parries and counters.
· Echo dodges and this continues.
· Talus's blade becomes wrapped in the energy; Talus thrusts and defeats Echo.
· The blue flames vanish and Talus is left with his mortally wounded Father.
· Father explains and apologizes. He blacks out.
· Claire sees this and her body becomes wrapped in white energy.
· She continuously sends out waves of magical energy.
· She runs to her Father and directs most of the energy into his body.
· After a few moments, the Father starts to cough and sputter.
· The crystal begins to crack after being exposed to so much raw energy.
· Soth is released.
· Soth is quite shocked to hear what had happened.
· After searching around a bit, they find the three holy weapons and their garbs.
· Claire receives an elegant robe and the Divine Goddess Staff: Cadum. Talus gets a golden armor set and the Sacred Saber: Admonis. Soth gets a silver armor set and Twin Dragon Daggers: Sylvis.
· They return, with Soth, to their Trainer.
· They are then trained into controlling and using their Awakened powers.
· A year later, they are ready to confront Echo.
· They head to Saphros Mountain, rumored lair of Echo.
· They challenge and defeat countless demons on their ascent.
· Finally, they confront Echo.
I've gotten a comment from my friend saying that I should have Soth and the Father die, but I dunno.
