A detailed summary, growing one paragraph for each sentance in my Step Two paragraph. Each paragraph should end in a disaster.
"When the sun fails to rise, the slaves in The Mining City panic and turn violent, and The Prince is forced to flee to the rafts in the harbor."
9:12 pm 11/27/11
A loud roar is heard all throughout The Empire, unexplainable, and terrifying. The slaves in the southern Mining City grow restless, and the temple staff are nervous as they prepare for the sunrise ceremony the next morning. The Prince, eldest son of The Emperor, is the chief figure in the sunrise ceremony. Before it begins, his friend The Priest reminds him that they need to do well to show the slaves that the gods still watch over them, and put the people back at ease. The sunrise is always harder to time when the stars are obscured, but the lightening horizon usually permitted the priests to begin with certainty that some light would fall upon the Stone of the Year before they were completed. This day however, the stars are hidden, and the light doesn't come. The temple workers mutter their concern, and with all the Mines waiting to begin their day after the ceremony is finished, the priests begin the ritual anyway. The Prince plays his part, and concludes the ritual, stalling as much as he can, but ultimately he proclaims the last words of the ritual: "Unless we have become unworthy, shine upon us and guide us in all we do." The skies remain dark, and night persists. The guards in the mines try to send the slaves to work, and the slaves revolt, tearing weapons from the guards, and pressing their way up the cliffside, intent on winning the favor of the gods by destroying the temple. The Priests turn to the Prince for guidance, but he is at a loss, still in shock at the turn of events. His Bodyguard, however, sees the danger, and sends the temple guards out to hold back the wave of slaves long enough for the Prince and his guards to escape to the harbor, and flee the burning City.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm liking this story! This worked out quite well. Next time, sentance two gets the works. *Fist pump*
