In short, I created the characters and wrote bits and pieces of the story, Jon filled in the stuff that was missing and linked everything together. Enjoy!

SILENCED ROSES
Introduction
The following story is one that tells of an unbelieveable journey, of two young warriors and their companions. Whether it is a true story or not is uncertain, because just after the two young warriors had completed their quest, they began to doubt if it had even happened. Parts of it were just uncomprehendable. Our story starts with a young princess, named Nikki.

Chapter 1
Getting to Know Nikki
Nikki wasn't your average girl, she happened to be the region's best swordsman. A month ago, her father (known as 'King') had given her the finest sword money could buy.
"It's for the rough road you have ahead of you, as a warrior." He told her. At the time she had no idea what he was talking about, but later she would be happy to have the blade.
She took the sword into the forest with her, deciding to get some practice with it, for it was much heavier than any sword she had used before. It wasn't much like using her normal blade, but she picked up some techniques pretty fast.
She looked the sword up and down. The blade seemed as if it were casting light, for it was so polished that it resembled a fragment of a mirror. When the sun shown upon it, it threw light on everything around it. Nikki looked at her reflection in it.
"I don't look like a swordsman." She said to herself. "But I suppose that is because I am a swordswoman." She was wearing one of the many frilly shirts that she owned, and a skirt that matched it. The bright greens and blues that were on her outfit made her look as if she were part of the forest herself. She let her eyes move back to the sword. The hilt had five gems embedded in it. A giant ruby was in the center, on one side was a saphire and a purple gem Nikki didn't recognize, and on the other side of the ruby was an emerald an a yellow gem she didn't recognize.
Silver lined the gems, and it made the hilt shine as much as the blade did. Nikki looked at a large tree to her left. Instictively, she lifted he blade and swung at the tree with all her might. With that single swipe, she fell a tree that was five feet in diameter. It fell to the forest floor with a mighty crash. She was confused more than anything, though she couldn't decide whether to be impressed or shocked.
With her mouth hanging open, she stabbed her sword into the ground and sat on the stump that had been a tree a few seconds ago.
I just cut down a 400 foot tall tree... with a single blow. Nikki thought. Before she could continue, however, she heard something whistling through the air towards her. She jumped up and grabbed her sword, but it was too late, the dart was already planted in her leg. She looked up in time to see a figure walking towards her, but she blacked out before she could get a good look at its face.

James, I swear, if you ever call me again at 1am and ask me to type out something I wrote in a notebook, I will strangle you.
Everyone else enjoy!
