Destiny Beta-Key Contest/Giveaway
Hello Destiny community and good day to you.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Beta Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr Midas congratulations!
Through the blessing of The Traveler I have been blessed with an extra Beta Key that I plan on give out to one lucky guardian.
Long Story short I got one in an email from my pre order provider after I had gone in and got my printed receipt beta code. I have checked and the two codes are different and unique from each other. I now plan on passing the extra spoils onto you, the Destiny community through a simple contest.
Contest:
The winner will be chosen at random, to be entered into the drawing you need to do three simple things.
1. Follow Me
2. Post a "positive criticism" post on my current story chapters. Spam and troll post will be disregarded and will not be counted as a post.
3. And finally for a little extra incentive, I would like you to write a short story describing a character of your choice, preferable human. I say human because we know very little about the other races. I say this also because the winner will also have their character featured in my next and upcoming chapter and if they are a human it makes it much easier for me to write them in.
The dead line for the Beta Key will be Sunday 8pm Central Time. One week from this Post.

Here are the links to all my chapters so far, have fun and good luck to everyone.
Edit*
Since some people "need" some clarification for the purpose of my three steps I will give them.
1. Following allows you to more easily find my post and threads. After the give away you will have no need to follow me any further and may un-follow.
2. I would much appreciate other people's comments on my chapters thus far so that I may improving them further as the story un folds.
3. I've wanted to do something of this kind for my stories for some time now. What better way then in a contest, kill two birds with one stone.
Doing it this way does more for the Destiny community the just doing a free for all, first come first serve. Those who really want to get into the beta will put forth the little bit of effort I am asking for. Doing it this way I feel levels the playing field for everyone.

Ok, here's my short story, (It's pretty short) and I'll post a criticism on the Chapter 1 you listed above : “Al’tan! We’re topside in five! It was a trap!” Logan transmitted. No answer. They sprinted back through the ancient corridors, pursued by guttural howls and the heavy clank of Cabal weaponry. Logan felt a wave of goosebumps, and cried, “Mareck! Not in here!” Mareck laughed as she pushed a bubbling ball of energy behind them, it exploded. Logan grabbed the warlock and increased his shield buffer. The blast shot them back out into the plaza. The building collapsed in a shriek of twisted metal. Red dust billowed. Mareck stopped laughing. A dozen Legionnaires with their shields and a Centurion formed a semicircle around them. The massive Centurion held a writhing Al’tan in his fist. Logan hardly thought. He tapped his Link and energy coursed through him. He leapt into the air, muscles assisted by the Traveler. He landed with a fist to the ground and pushed. The ground shuddered and the shockwave cast the Legionnaires into the air. Logan brought Cheap-Thrills to his shoulder and fired a burst into the Centurion’s head. Before the beast hit the ground, Logan downed two others. Mareck shot arcane bolts over Logan’s shoulder and Cabal died. “Logan!” Mareck cried. The last Legionnaire bashed his shield into Logan’s side. Dazed, Logan looked up as the hulking thing planted a boot on his chest. It held the muzzle of his weapon against Logan’s visor. It looked at Mareck challengingly. Then a crack echoed through the plaza; Logan embraced death. Then, he opened his eyes. The Cabal was falling, and headless. Al’tan stood, cradling a smoking Cabal weapon. “Let’s not do that aga…“ Logan trailed off. The ground still shuddered. Suddenly, a chasm opened behind them, revealing a stairway into the darkness. Mareck glanced at Logan, laughed, and ran down the stairs. Logan sighed, and followed.
