Scribblings: Shingoza

This is something that I typed up as an exercise. I’ve always thought my writing style has been a bit dry and lacking in description. So, I decided to try to write about something and make it as descriptive as I possibly could:

It is truly a magnificent sight to behold, Shingoza. A tall, twisting spire of the most beautiful and exquisite gems and crystals, it thrusts upwards into the heavens as a testament to the Old One’s power. No other structure, man-made or not, had ever reached such pinnacles of both height and radiant beauty. Yet, it’s peerless design carries more benefits than just being awe-inspiring. It was also one of the most defensible stronghold’s in the Known World.

Hordes of Half-men, Demons, Feralkin and other foul aberrations have all attempted to storm Shingoza; and all have failed utterly and completely, their very existence seared away by the potent and ancient magic woven into Shingoza’s very heart.

It is said, whispered in various legends of various cultures and races, that Shingoza houses all the Old One’s knowledge and power and that whomever is able to gain entry would be as a God among men, able to bend the very fabric of existence to their will. Of course, no-one knows whether this is truth or merely a grandiose fabrication but that has not stopped hundreds of thousands of men and woman flocking to the fabled tower…and to an untimely demise.

So, what do you think? It’s a bit rough but I actually really like the flow of it. I came out of my brain and on to my computer screen with very little struggle. Please leave constructive criticism on how I can improve, thanks!
