When we finish our stories, where should we hand them in? Also, should we include a transliteration with it?

When you finish your story, PM me the story. At the end of the month, I'll post that you all can post your stories. Does that sound good? Thoughts?

Oh, please transliterate it. It'll help as a reference for when people read it. The goal for reading the stories is to read them in Dovahzul and try to glean the meaning, only using the transliteration when they can't figure out the meanings or need help.

Alright, thanks. :) 

I realize that I never actually posted HERE the story writing tips and tricks, but on my blog page. Even though it's too late to utilize if you haven't already seen my blog, If anyone is interested in it, here's the link: https://masterdovahzul.wordpress.com/ The tips are various posts in August. I mean, they're probably not the BEST tips, but there's at least something there...

Here we go, our first story! Note: Since we have only two entries, this will just be a showcase, which is okay!

Story Showcase: Faal tey do Iiz-Tuz ahrk Sadon-Zul

First entry submitted is by Sonaak Kroinlah. She provided an English Translation, which I posted after the story. I read it and was able to understand the story. It's a good short story, over 900 words!

English Translation:

The tale of Ice-Blade and Silver-Voice

Once lived the friends warrior Ice-Blade and bard Silver-Voice.
They both wanted a glorious deed to do and sing of but nothing ever came to the small village that they lived in.
Then one day they heard talk of a legendary cave not far from the village that hid great treasure and power.
"To find this will be a glorious deed." Said Ice-Blade.
"Yes, and such deed will make a good song." Said Silver-Voice.
"We will travel to find it and become great heroes!" They shouted in unison.
So the bard Silver-Voice brought his lute and the warrior Ice-Blade her sword then they went north in search of the legendary cave.
*
Not long after they left the village the plains turned into forest. Silence dominated as they walked through the trees. Even the birdsong did end.
"This silence. . It is most strong. . Evil, even. I foretell danger. " Said Ice-Tuz.
Silver-Voice nodded and moved closer to her for protection.
Then a most terrible beast roared and charged from within the trees. Its fur was black as night, its teeth sharp. Its eyes were crimson and glowed with hunger.
Ice-Blade issued a battle cry and struck with her sword. It was a long and brutal fight but she did triumph and slay the dark beast.
"I won." She said tiredly then fell to the bloodied ground.
"I can see that. You fought bravely my friend. Are you hurt?"
"Yes, but not badly. I only want to sit a moment."
So they did and when her stamina returned they stood and walked onward through the forest.

Day had become evening when they found the end of the forest. Before them now was a small valley with a river flowing through it. Not far within it glowed a small golden light.
"I can see a light. It might be a fire." Said Silver-Voice.
"And where fire burns will be people." 
"But if they're friend or foe is unknown. What do you think?"
"I want to go find out. You?"
"Me too."
They went towards the light carefully, Ice-Blade with her hand near her weapon. When they got close they saw the fire was outside a house and at it sat an old woman.
"Greetings travellers." She said.
"Well met. We're looking for a place to stay the night. May we sit here?" Asked Silver-Voice.
She nodded so they sat. It was silent for a moment then Ice-Blade spoke, "Do you know-"
"I know what you want. All who come to this valley do and they all die trying."
"Seriously!?" They both shouted.
"You didn't know? Not many say that." She said, amused.
"Will you tell us about their deaths?" Asked Ice-Blade.
"A powerful spirit guards the cave. Many warriors and sorcerers have attempted to kill it. All failed."
Her words struck like lightning and silence reigned again.
Then Sadon-Zul said sadly, "I don't want to offend you Ice-Blade but I suspect you're not the strongest warrior to ever come here."
"I'm not offended, I was thinking the same thing. I know I can't defeat this guardian." She told him. Then to the old woman she said, "Thank you for your words. Because of them we will not die in an unwinnable battle."
"Now this I've never heard before. It is a nice change."
The sun diminished in the sky and all became dark and cold.
Silver-Voice took his lute and issued music into the night. His song told of his joy from their journey and his sorrow at its end before victory. After, as they lay down for rest the old maiden watched with a strange gleam in her eyes.

They arose when dawn broke. Crimson clouds lit with golden sunlight floated through the blue sky as the warrior and bard ate breakfast with the old woman. "Tell me," she said after some time. "Who you are and your reason for seeking this treasure."
"I am the warrior Ice-Blade. I sought a glorious adventure"
"And I am the bard Silver-Voice. My desire was to sing of our adventure."
"Foolish desires, really. But I am happy we came here for it was fun. Even though we failed." Said Ice-Blade.
"I agree." Said Silver-Voice.
"You may be fools but you are fools with good hearts and because of this I think you are worthy. So I will tell you a secret to find the treasure."
"Truly!?" They exclaimed, new hope shining in their eyes.
"Yes. It's simple really. When you see the guardian spirit tell it 'I wish you good day' and it will not attack you."
"Eternal thanks." Said Ice-Blade. "Will you tell us who you are? I want to commemorate you in my song of our journey."
"I am Phantom-Rose. Retired sorceress and medium."
"Eternal thanks Phantom-Rose. Until we meet again."
Then they went to find the end of the valley where the sacred cave and guardian spirit lay.
It wasn't a long walk to find it. They stopped near the shadowed maw of the cave, wary.
"I don't see-" Silver-Voice attempted to say when in a blue flash appeared a phantom beast. It issued a fearful roar but did not attack them.

"I wish you good day." Saidl Ice-Blade, her voice shaking."
It blinked then gave a happy purr and disappeared.
"Is. . that all?" Asked Silver-Voice.
"Yes?" Said Ice-Blade.
They went into the cave and saw gold all over the ground. Within it lay a green stone with runes carved into it.
Ice-Blade touched it and read aloud "Oak-Shield." At her words the guardian spirit was summoned. It stood before them and bowed its head. They shouted in fear before they realised it didn't want to hurt them.
"So this is the sacred power of legend." Said Silver-Voice.
"We did it. We actually found it." Ice-Blade laughed.
"And we found a new friend"
Adventure complete they returned to their village. Silver-Voice wrote a song of their journey that in time was heard by all and with Oak-Shield as a new ally they went on many more adventures.
And they all lived happily ever after.
