Very good. Very short. But so entertaining. Your wording is near to poetry on some places, maybe it was just me, but I think some of the sentences rhymed. Maybe this was your intention. Anyway, the little tale is very entertaining, a young man searching for something arcane, something supernatural inside him and succeeding, despite the doubt of his comrades. And I laughed in the end. Touch of humor. Very good little piece, I enjoyed reading this very much. Good work.

Glad you enjoyed it Panzer. The touches of humor and poetry just kinda flowed. My nutty personality peeking through I suppose. XD

Veyr impressive.
Despite the short length it really gives you an idea of the protagonists personality.
Quite nice descriptives too.

^_^ Oh, I'm glad you got his personality. That's something I'm always afraid I'm not doing well enough in these one-shots.

*laughs* Thanks for the review. For the part you said I contradicted myself, I was trying to give the reader a wider view of what was going on around the protagonist. He may not have been paying attention to their reactions, but I was. You are right though, I should probably reword that section. ^_^

As for your comment on magic, I actual have written down here somewhere rules about how magic operates in my fantasy type world. I won't get into too much detail, but basically the more preparation you do for a spell in advance, the less of the actual 'magic words' you have to blurt out. Most wizards (which the character here isn't, but that's another story) spend about an hour a day preparing their spells so they can cast them with just a single word.

*laughs* And here I've gone on and rambled. Thanks for reading my work, short as it is.

How come when ever I read something about knights, I envision giant chess pieces? I'm weird. Pretty good, and the character's personality did come across very well. I got a good image from the knights too.

Because Giant Chess pieces rock? *chuckles* The tower shield one totally doesn't have legs in my mind now. Just one giant base. xD
