Well done! Can't wait to see how this new one turns out!
Good stuff man. Glad your break from writing didn't last long. 
The heart strings, they tug.

I find action scenes difficult to write.
I can write all day about people having a face-to-face conversation, probably because I like to pick up on the nuances of conversation in real-life, it makes it easy and more interesting for me to put them into writing.
But my first-hand experience of "action" ends in paintballing and video-games! I often have to do a lot of research and reading of other material to get a feel for it.
You did a good job here Xek, I could picture what was going on in my mind quite clearly.
Rep is still on cooldown so have a virtual +1

Many thanks! I really enjoy writing dialogue, but it's hard to know how to write action. I think a hit by hit description tends to be a little boring, so I like focusing more on the flow of a battle.
I've always enjoyed writing, but I have some excellent examples in both you and M.Lehman in how to improve, that's for sure.

I second the action thing. Dialogue comes naturally to me, but action is difficult.
Good work on the last part there Mr. Xeknos. Got the feels going, that's for sure.
You know how sometimes you work really hard, weeks sometimes, to make something good? You redo it again and again to get it just right? Then you post it once you're happy, only to find several other people do the same thing as you way better?
You sir, And Matty, Marra, Psymon, Nova and Becks make me feel like such a noob sometimes. And that's such a good thing.

You are far, far too kind. You have my thanks.
That said, I've also quite enjoyed reading your stories, so maybe we aren't so different after all.
