Interesting take on Sesshomaru's personality.
I really though it would end with all of them dying, I was surprised that she was alive. At first I had hoped she was then you moved on, and I thought guess not. Good thing he realized that before he buried her!
It was really sad! Good job on it.
Dear Hairann,
This was definitely a very enjoyable piece to read. I enjoyed the poem with its simple yet powerful words, and the fact that you kept Sesshoumaru very much in character throughout the entire story.
The striking mental image of a lone demon lord digging graves for the people he once knew and respected to a certain degree, against a background of carnage and destruction, could not have been if not for your skills in description and imagery.
As a reader, I was looking forward to more since the oneshot ended off at a point where the reader has the full freedom to imagine what comes next. But as a fellow writer, I feel that it was nice in a way - slightly poignant, slightly hopeful and downright mysterious.
Your interpretation of the prompt 'Avalanche' was also refreshingly fitting.
A great job done, I'd say. Good luck with the tournament!
Love,
