For those of you who don't know me, I am Thoadthetoad, writer of "The Moderation Wars" and the less popular "The Story of Faceless". Both are unfinished but they are being made. Now, with further ado and all the talking I've been having, here is, the Biridlium Nipto.
The Biridlium Nipto
By: Nolan "Thoadthetoad" Gardipe

Prolouge
There was once a creator. His looks only matched his power. He had eyes that had glowed in all the colors of the spectrum, and hair that flowed smoother than water. He wore elegant robes of black and platinum desings upon it. He was a sentient being, called a Suvrak (Soo-vrrak). He was the last of his kind, and was alone in the deep emptiness of the cosmos. All Suvraks had an uncanny ability to create. Whether it was flesh, blood, earth or fire, the Suvrak could create it.
The Suvrak became bored looking at the several thousand stars his predecessors had left before him. He had found and named every star, he had learned the birthing of these stars and just how complicated they really were. He knew everything about the stars and the planets his predecessors left him.
One day, he noticed an unfamiliar twinkle in the sky. At first he thought it was a simple nova caused by a medium sized star. Observing it closer, he found it was actually a planet. A planet unlike any other he had seen. It was a shiny blue, with patches of green upon it. however, all he saw was green. Nothing but green. He found this to be a little depressing, but was inspired. He wanted to make a planet, similar to this one but less depressing and still. He struck the plaanet, turning them into bits and pieces of rock.
He floated to a certain part of the cosmos, thinking and planning the planet he would create. he started with a small base of rock, made of the crusts on his eyes and the dust in his robe. He rolled it into the ball, and clawed out pieces of the land. He looked at the sight and shed a single tear, as it had brought the most satisfaction he ever had. The tears moustened the land, and filled the holes in the rock. With that, he sneezed upon the rock, as he normally does after he cries. The sneeze caused plants to grow from the odd concoction of his being. With the trees, the planet shook and created crags with mountains.
After he made the base, he took empty space in space, and turned it into flesh, bone, and blood. He carefully placed them together with deadly accuracy, making the most prehistoric of animals. They mainly resembled lizards, and matched the sheer size of the plants he made for the planets. With the leftovers he created odd figures, with thoraxes and carapaces and with a skeleton on the outside. He placed the most prehistoric of creatures on the planet, and looked in glee.
After a short time, maybe a single rotation around the great star he called "Sukta". He soon got bored, and went to a different section of the cosmos. He came upon a red star, and created a planet next to it, it was of perfect shape with a single lake. He looked at the tribal figures on it and smiled, he named these, he called them the Nergyl, and whispered the name to each of the tribal leaders. The tribal leaders said the name to their kin, and thus the Nergyl were born. Sadly, not much later the creator grew bored of even them. He went to a new location, which had a white, tiny sun. He created a new planet, one in a diamond shape. It's ground was sliver and it's oceans were a bright green. The inhabitants of this were odd, due to being only made out of scraps. None of them looked alike. Since they seemed to be dead, but still alive, the creator called them the Fallen, which they took up just as the Nergyl did.
Afterwards, he felt as if he should make them all a bit more interesting. He linked them all together, to make their afterlives. He didn't want to be bothered with their troubles so he tied them all together. The dominant creatures of earth (Whether it be roach, lizard, or monkey) would become a Nergyl, and the Nergyl would become a Fallen. At last a Fallen would become one of the Dominant creatures of the earth. Thus the Nergyl's story was born.

Wow you are an excellent writer. The only thing I find weird is the name. But great story.

The story has yet to be done, and the name follows the Nergyl Language. This will not be updated normally, but I'll give you bits n' pieces. I've wanted to publish my story of the Nergyl for almost a year now and after months of planning I'm setting it in motion. I hope you like the prolouge and the next few different "Segments" I'm making.

I've seen you talk about the Nergyl a bit before, is there some place I can get some background info on them?

Oh and the story sounds good. Excellent writing talent.

I'm going to go paragraph-by-paragraph, because unlike most, you actually used paragraphs.
--

There was once a creator. His looks only matched his power. He had eyes that had glowed in all the colors of the spectrum, and hair that flowed smoother than water. He wore elegant robes of black and platinum desings upon it. He was a sentient being, called a Suvrak (Soo-vrrak). He was the last of his kind, and was alone in the deep emptiness of the cosmos. All Suvraks had an uncanny ability to create. Whether it was flesh, blood, earth or fire, the Suvrak could create it.


Overall, this is a decent opening paragraph. Good word choice, and it explains as much as it needs to. However, most of your sentences start with 'he' and you don't use very any inverted sentences, so a slight variation in the sentence structure (just maybe two or three sentences, considering that there are only 8 sentences in the paragraph) woudl make it flow much better.
------------
The Suvrak became bored looking at the several thousand stars his predecessors had left before him. He had found and named every star, he had learned the birthing of these stars and just how complicated they really were. He knew everything about the stars and the planets his predecessors left him.


This is also a good paragraph. Not really much to say here.
-------
One day, he noticed an unfamiliar twinkle in the sky. At first he thought it was a simple nova caused by a medium sized star. Observing it closer, he found it was actually a planet. A planet unlike any other he had seen. It was a shiny blue, with patches of green upon it. however, all he saw was green. Nothing but green. He found this to be a little depressing, but was inspired. He wanted to make a planet, similar to this one but less depressing and still. He struck the plaanet, turning them into bits and pieces of rock.


You have a few grammatical stumbles in this paragraph, and it doesn't detail how he noticed it in any way. It just kind of suddenly pops him into position from nowhere. Those are really the only problems in it. Otherwise, it's another step in the right direction.
-----------
He floated to a certain part of the cosmos, thinking and planning the planet he would create. he started with a small base of rock, made of the crusts on his eyes and the dust in his robe. He rolled it into the ball, and clawed out pieces of the land. He looked at the sight and shed a single tear, as it had brought the most satisfaction he ever had. The tears moustened the land, and filled the holes in the rock. With that, he sneezed upon the rock, as he normally does after he cries. The sneeze caused plants to grow from the odd concoction of his being. With the trees, the planet shook and created crags with mountains.


I thought that the way he created the planet was pretty damn cool. This one has a few slight hiccups in the flow of it, but nothing much.
---------
After he made the base, he took empty space in space, and turned it into flesh, bone, and blood. He carefully placed them together with deadly accuracy, making the most prehistoric of animals. They mainly resembled lizards, and matched the sheer size of the plants he made for the planets. With the leftovers he created odd figures, with thoraxes and carapaces and with a skeleton on the outside. He placed the most prehistoric of creatures on the planet, and looked in glee.


There are a few sentences here that need some editing. Sometimes, you restate the same word in one sentence for non-informational purposes, which can make the sentence a bit awkward. Nothing ewlse really.
---------
After a short time, maybe a single rotation around the great star he called "Sukta". He soon got bored, and went to a different section of the cosmos. He came upon a red star, and created a planet next to it, it was of perfect shape with a single lake. He looked at the tribal figures on it and smiled, he named these, he called them the Nergyl, and whispered the name to each of the tribal leaders. The tribal leaders said the name to their kin, and thus the Nergyl were born. Sadly, not much later the creator grew bored of even them. He went to a new location, which had a white, tiny sun. He created a new planet, one in a diamond shape. It's ground was sliver and it's oceans were a bright green. The inhabitants of this were odd, due to being only made out of scraps. None of them looked alike. Since they seemed to be dead, but still alive, the creator called them the Fallen, which they took up just as the Nergyl did.


What? Where did the star come from? Also, you may want to divide this onto two paragraphs, when he gets bored of the Nergyl.
---------
Afterwards, he felt as if he should make them all a bit more interesting. He linked them all together, to make their afterlives. He didn't want to be bothered with their troubles so he tied them all together. The dominant creatures of earth (Whether it be roach, lizard, or monkey) would become a Nergyl, and the Nergyl would become a Fallen. At last a Fallen would become one of the Dominant creatures of the earth. Thus the Nergyl's story was born.


This is a good ending paragraph. However, it kind of jumps forward a bit near the beginning.
----------
Overall, this is a good prologue. You may want to look into some character development with the creator guy, however, because he seems like an interesting character, and you use him a ton in this first part.
---------------
And now, thank ytou for your kind donation! CC for you!

Wow. I have to say I really love this story. I don't know what a Nergyl is. I probably should know...so as to actually understand the story. But that aside, I'm definately sticking with this story and waiting for your next "segment"!

Thank you for the CC my good friend! i have one small question however:

inverted sentences
.... what the heck is an inverted sentence?! I've never heard that term lol.

also, the religion most Nergyls have is, The Biridlium Nipto! Which mixes the famous creatalusinism (creationism and evolutionism/darwinism) with the "creator".

On the note of the Creator, he is a nameless and final Suvrak, he really doesn't play much of a role besides that he was the one who created the 3 races. To answer your question about how the stars were there, he found them. None of the stars were created by him, but rather by the predecessors who are long gone (dead). Yes a Suvrak can die, but it's a very complicated procedure. It's also going to be somewhere near 953 trillion years until he dies. There is 1 other Suvrak, but she doesn't know where he is. Note that the Biridlium Nipto doesn't necessarily have an ending, as well.

Also note that this book has both the past, and the future in it.

To my knowledge, inverted sentences are inverted from the normal structure, because they have the predicate before the subject. Also, sentences liek this:

Getting up, the man stretched and walked out the door.

where there are two verbs also vary the flow a lot. Just some change-ups in your basic sentence structure will make this story better.

ahhh, that makes sense.

also, he noticed the planet just from sheer luck, it just never caught his attention till that day.
