Thank you, and yes i did jump the gun. I wanted to see if the introduction was okay so I can later on post an entire segment(s) of later chapters. It's nice to have positive feedback to go off on before continuing.
And yes there will be a main protagonist, the introduction of him literally starts off the next paragraph which is still in the making for I plan to expand the excerpt shown above. I suspect the final-draft of the introduction to have a few paragraphs.
As for the sun's direction, I assume that most readers will assume 'west' which is where our real-world sun rises, but I will mention that next time if too many can't infer from it.
Thank you very much for your critique, your description of the 'rain of fire' makes me want to revise it (which I will do), and I promise next time to have a longer and fully drawn-out segment next time I share.
Hello guys, I am working on a short story based in my fantasy-set universe and I wanted to show you an excerpt from the introduction, please leave comments/positive critiques, I'm not the best but I am striving to be the best I can be.
The link below is to my blog which I will be posting all of my works in.
The sun slowly began to emerge from the horizon, illuminating the jagged peaks of the High Ridge Mountains; light crept its way across the land to end today and begin tomorrow, night’s shadow finally recedes. And all living creatures inhabiting the Great Forest began to emerge from their slumber, ready to greet the new day, only to be met by a rain of fire.

Edit: Realized I posted this on wrong forum category, ugh don't bash me for my stupidity.
Edit: Added the excerpt in the OP. Note: It is very short (just a paragraph) and a work in progress, the above excerpt is subject to change.
