Here's the rest of the description and the music list for the scenes in Sacreia's chapter:
This is a standalone chapter from my upcoming book, Nihilos Draconum: Rise of a Warrior. It is meant to be a preview of my writing style, and as a means of gaining interest in the book before it is published. As well as gaining a fan base beforehand. The chapter starts off slow, and since this part isn't explained and has a habit of confusing people. The events transpiring in the chapter are being viewed from a Crystal Ball. It entails the life of one of the more important characters in the would be series, Sacreia Valen. It starts off slow, as it begins with her mother and a little history of the elves. It goes down to how Sacreia was conceived, and what was the result of her birth.
Being born a half red dragon half elf caused her mother's exile and eventual decline. Aneia(Her mother) was capture by humans and became a sex slave to them for 12 years. All the while Sacreia had to watch as they violated her mother. For years she did not know what they were doing to her, she only knew they were hurting her. The humans who enslaved them were not very accepting of Sacreia, referring to her as a child with demon eyes. For those almond shaped eyes would stare up at them with a fierce luminosity, one that spelled a hatred so strong it made them shiver.
Aneia eventually takes her own life, as she was unable to live with her every day torture. In turn, she leaves her daughter with parting words. To be free, and live the life she could not. Sacreia did not know the concept of death, and as her mother's still cooling body lay trembling in her death throes, Sacreia understood. Her personality splits, and it is here her life changes. Sacreia's personalities were opposite of one another. One who craved love, family, and friendship. The other a misanthropic, homicidal, and vengeful entity hellbent on destroying humanity. All those she gets close to either die, or leave her. She has not known any real happiness in her life, for hers is one filled with despair, rage, loneliness, betrayal and unrequited love.
After a time, she becomes known as The Crimson Whirlwind, a mass murderer who leaves naught in her wake but the unrecognizable remains of her victims. For she travels the lands far and wide simply to slaughter every human city and village she can find. If the world will not accept her for what she is, she will create a new world by force. Sacreia's character has inspirations from the character Lucy/Kaede from the Elfen Lied anime, as such some specific scenes in the chapter are similar. The character takes a lot from myself, as do several of my other characters. This makes her more easy to relate to, and in turn makes her feel more... "human". The chapter itself is filled with sadness, gore, extreme violence, and the one thing I wrote most: action packed battles. The battles in the books follow "anime physics". What does this mean? It simply means that protagonists are able to be hit by overly powerful attacks and not explode on impact which would happen in reality. Instead, they're sent flying while taking damage. Whereas other characters(Side characters, things meant to die) would follow real world physics where they'd die/explode in a single blow from something stupidly powerful. Imagine being crushed/stomped on by a 80 foot tall dragon. Wouldn't you be crushed into paste? Not protagonists!
My writing is meant to make you think, as I don't throw everything at you. Things are hinted at, and meant to be perceived. If you fail to pay attention to something, you will be lost later on. Such as learning Sacreia's true name in the chapter, and a certain connection she has with a specific character. Almost every scene has a song attached to it, to add a bit of "life" to it. Below, I shall add a few songs for specific scenes.
The beginning, everything Aneia up until she meets a certain man and is brought further into the forest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyxxiAYvdNs
When Aneia is stuck with said man in the forest, and the scene when Sacreia finally meets said man later on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IwRkFyUu60

Both chapters have the same fight, but from different perspectives.) or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-2CENbg61w (Which I originally used) (Phase 2-3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBb0HfSSlcE
