I just started this so I don't have a title or anything yet. A quick question, I intend to update it by small amounts over time, probably only a few paragraphs each time. Would it be better to modify the existing post for these updates or to post each one in a reply? Anyway, Here it goes.

He stood motionless in the twilight, his thoughts wandering to different times, distant places. They settled on that day-- the day that changed his everything, the early dawn and its fragrance. The cool wind, the scent of the dew in her hair. She sat crumpled in a messy heap, heaving softly, she, the girl acquainted with sorrow, as she whimpered into the sleeve which hid her face. He watched her, awestruck that an object of such beauty could have reason to cry. “Girl,” he whispered hoarsely, expecting little more than a scream of abject horror, “what troubles you?”
She had not noticed him approach, and though startled, was more embarrassed to have been seen in such a state. She buried her face deeper into her sleeves. “Don’t look at me,” she muttered pitifully.
He watched her as the sun crept up into the sky and the beads of dew began to shrink and disappear. After a long while she ceased her weeping, curious about the stranger who would not leave her be. She clumsily wiped the dampened hair from her eyes and peeked shyly over her crossed arms. His appearance was strange to her… “what kind of person might this be?” she wondered. “However strange he might appear, his behavior is even stranger.”
“What are you doing?” she asked.
Her voice seemed as fragile to him as the vanishing dewdrops. “Do you not fear me?” he asked, puzzled that she did not seem disturbed by his unsightly form.
“No,” she murmured almost inaudibly. Her gaze drifted towards the horizon. Small trails of smoke had begun to rise from a small village in the distance; she watched them fade into the sky, tears clouding her eyes once again.
“What troubles you, little girl?” he repeated. She gave no reply.

I really like this :] I really enjoy your descriptions and your wording. I'd like if it if you continued...it'd probably be better to modify the existing post, unless you're posting seperate chapters/sections/etc., which then you should do in seperate posts, and perhaps link them in the first post.
