Back in 2009 I participated in NaNoWriMo. Before 2010 rolled around, a combination of factors resulted in me losing my story. After five years of searching -everywhere-, I finally unearthed it today.
The part of this story that I HEART, however, is that reading it after all this time has helped me find a writing voice that I have not connected with in a long while. I can tell already it has woven itself into my role-play and I am very excited to have rediscovered and reignited the passion for these characters, and for developing characters in general.
I seriously cannot tell you enough how thrilled I am to have this again. [so thrilled]
You say, "This is much harder than just being a normal person."

"On the battlefield I am a god. I love war. The steel, the smell, the corpses. I wish there were more. On the first day I drove the Northmen back alone at the ford. Alone! On the second I carried the bridge! Me! Yesterday I climbed the Heroes! I love war! I… I wish it wasn’t over."
Eldreth also has a mask so it's not like that will stop him.

You put the corpse of a lithe ebonmarrow into a cherry blossom tree sapling.
A cherry blossom tree sapling's roots reach out and take hold of the corpse of a lithe ebonmarrow and pulls it under the soil, a cherry blossom tree sapling's bark creaking as it turns the corpse of a lithe ebonmarrow into fertilizer.

You empty out a bucket on top of a cherry blossom tree sapling, covering it in water.
A cherry blossom tree sapling stretches out its branches as the water seeps into the soil at a cherry blossom tree sapling's roots.

The rowdy notes of a drinking song, faint at first, then rising to the undisputed intensity of a Dwarf On A Mission, herald the arrival of Ironbeard the Magnanimous who casts his beam of a smile about himself as he arrives.
Ironbeard the Magnanimous peers out with blurry eyes, saying, "Is that you, Etienne? I've got a gift for you."
Ironbeard the Magnanimous just gave you a giftbag!
With a sudden look of concentration, Ironbeard the Magnanimous smiles a crooked smile, rubs his ample stomach, and fades to nothingness, followed by the sound of a distant belch.
A festive sparkling giftbag is holding:

There's a bee smiley thing! How did I go so long on these forums without noticing that?!?

As stoked on this as I would've been about a surcoat
e.g.
Oystir has a pearl
A brown frog born in darkness
small splashes are heard.
