Hey all!

I've been writing a first draft of a fantasy novel for a while now. It's been loose ideas, but it feels as though it's finally coming together - I'm around 15 chapters in now. I just wanted to put forward one of my more complete chapters for critique. I want to know where the style and prose work, and where they don't, so my future writing can shine brightly!

This will be the first time I've shared this with anyone other than friends and family. I'm a little nervous, but I feel I need to take the leap.

This would be the third chapter in the novel. The POV within has already been established in the other two, but this is the first time he has any dialogue.
