Six Sentence Sunday 10/7 #sixsunday

Today's six are from a silly story I wrote awhile back, "The Hunter and the Monster."  It was my first published story, appearing in The Fringe.  MC Crius has been forbidden by the village council to fight the monster that's been terrorizing his village, so he plots with his friends in secret.
"Halt!" shouted a voice.

Crius looked up. He was boxed in by guards, with Lord Maximilian in the center.

"Crius, you will destroy our way of life, our careful balance, if you continue. You were warned. By the power given me by our people, I hereby banish you from our lands, effective immediately!"

    Cover's blown! I'd like to see his reaction to that. If I might make a tiny suggestion, maybe drop "our careful balance" because that seems less strong than "our way of life." With just one phrase in that spot, you call attention to it; with two phrases, the significance is watered down.

    Post more of this story! I want to know what happens J

    I have a feeling Crius upsets the balance of everything before he's through! Terrific six!

      Crius gets in a whole lot of trouble, that's for sure. Thanks for commenting!
