The fairies were floating, as usual, as she caught up to her sister, Kveldulfr. "Kvel, Kvel! I'm here, finally!"
"You fat lard-cat, what took you forever? We can't hold them back without a white mage! Hurry, buff the warriors and paladins!" Her sister huffed, holding her bloodied up war axe in her hand.
Laurell cringed at her reprimand, then flinched into action. "Y-yes! The monsters won't last that long, Kvel! Just you wait!"
So, my friend Josh and I were talking about how to write a narrative story and both of us were wondering different ways of approaching a specific plot line. We came up with two different ways: directly stating and implied meaning. Direct is like a character goes on a huge monologue describing how future events will be happening. Implied is like the above where the reader slowly gains insight on what is going on around the protagonist.
And while I was trying to explain each type, I wrote out that small except about my character participating in Campaign on Final Fantasy XI. Even though I really haven't. But I've watched my sister play it so I know how it goes. Sort of. My lack of confidence in knowledge of Campaign has led me to not fully write about it.
Enjoy!
