Fleshing out a story is the time consuming part :P
anyone can present an idea but to use the rolling pin on the dough tostretch it out. Only the pizza making chef can do it artistically :D
for example here is a quick story idea:
(well I had it a little spread out in my mind when I first thought about it but right now {laziness} is going to make me make it shorter than what it already was XD)
[spoiler]
[COLOR=blue]Cave > Group of friends > fighting the dark entitiy > one hero sees that teammates are not going to make it > hero lunges forward and performs a georagifal changing attack > hero separates his frinds from himself and gets trapped with the enemy > friends try to get to hero but can no longer reach him > team mates escape cave as it is crumbling down and a cave in is inimenent > outside of cave team witnesses cracks and fissures oppeing up in the mountain and dark energy streaming outwards in all direction > everyone hear loud screams which also includes their sacrficing hero's voice > with a large explosion the mountain disintigrates and nothing remains > some dark energy is seen floating about but that too soon dissapears > teammates, villagers, world mourns and rejoices at the same time > team decide to part ways > [/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]Time now in the future / present[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#48d1cc][COLOR=blue]> a lot of years has passed > Everyone now older and lot has changed > world is at peace > little remanants of evil still linger but are always soon destroyed > ex team mates coincidently meet up at the mountain place > they are surprised to see each other and everyone says that they felt as if they needed to be here > no one had seen each other since they last fought with the evil at their current metting location > everyone shares their new experiences since last met > suddenly they feel a nostalgic feeling > from the center of the location (center of where the mountain once was) a fissure cracks open and dark energy seeps/ erupts out like a volcano > everyone is surprised but instincts make them ready for a fight > their old enemy the dark entity re-emerges though it looks more frightfull and powerfull than before > dark enemy unleashes waves of unholy power that changes the landscape and chaos runs amok > the surrounding forest withers as twisted and vile creatures emerge out from within the ground (wait forest ?? wern't we in a mountain area XD oh well lets just say when the evil had been extinguished all those years back, the mountain area become lush with life and energy which made the barren place in to a forest like area :D ) > the dark entity escapes and legions of monsters follow him > the world once again is struck by horror > The Team regroups once again and with new powers and bonds once again strenghtened they march off to fight the new dark entity > make new friends and power allies on their way > a lot happens like it always does :P > they meet the dark entity many times on their path to victory but it always escapes > but the final hour now arrives where they fight off against the powerfull enemy > a huge battle envelops where even with all the added experience and party members they are still fighting a loosing battle and when it all seems lost suddenly the dark energy starts to waver > everyone upon witnessing that restart their attacks and begin launching powerfull counterattacks > the enemy finally starts to weaken and the new team of heroes have their fight come to a close > all the team members launch their most powerfull attacks > the dark entitiy is almost defeated but still not gone > (now lets just say that the ex-heroes former lover is the current team leader) > the ex-lover readies a final attack > all fighters channell their power into the lover's attack > the lover rushes forward > team mates deflect the enemy horde and entity's last attacks > the path is cleared and the lover lunges for the final attack > while in motion of the ultima attack the dark entity is seen struglling in pain > the dark magic that envelops the giant entity is lifted off at the location of the monsters heart > the lover directs their attack to that point of weakness > seconds before impaling the weapon at the point of white light > the area widens and the ex-hero emerges > the ex-heroes chest is exposed and the lovers blade strikes through and through > the lover is shocked at what just happened and so is everyone else on the ground level > the ex-hero says his thankyou and instantly the dark magic is lifted > the other presence the evil one is heard screamin in pain as the entire dark energy is destroyed > the ex-hero floats to the ground enveloped in bright light > the ex-hero greets his friends and lover in a spirit form > he tells them that he had been contaiing and fighting the dark entity for all these years but in the end it proved to be too much for him to handle and so later on he realised that once the entity had completely fused together with him the only way to completely defeat the enitity was to kill the host > he appologizes for letting the enitity loose but he had to to let the dark energy and his soul become as one > the ex-hero guarantees that the dark entity is no more and all is now well > the former lover cries as the hero is lifted into the air and dissintigrates with a smile on his face[/COLOR] :)[/COLOR]
