The Bird
Once upon a time, there was a bird. It was sitting in a tree one day when along came a dog. The dog asked to be friends, and the bird agreed.
"I like your feathers," the dog said one day, "Can I have one?"
"Sure," said the bird, and the dog took one of its feathers.
They were friends for a long time. The dog was happy to be friends with the bird, and ( Read more... ) -
Part 3
It wasn’t really as if taking in fewer taxes from Roana put a dent in how well Dralion could conduct his research. In reality, he didn’t live as extravagantly as most other magi did, and so had plenty of funding left over to do his business without needing excessive collections from the townsfolk. The manor he occupied was large and spacious, ( Read more... ) -
Part 2
It was bustling with activity, which was to be expected. Dralion moved with the throng of people, bumping elbows with magi, townsfolk, and travellers from far and wide. Not all of them were human, either, which didn’t surprise him as he made his way towards the center of the market area. Milleurnia was home to various races of humanoid beings, ( Read more... ) -
Part 1
Milleurnia was a country that was different from those around it. Most notably, it didn’t have a king. It didn’t have a queen, either; in fact, there was no royal family ruling over the land, at all. What it did have, instead, was a council of magi - a parliament, of sorts. Every town and city in Milleurnia was governed by an appointed magus, and ( Read more... ) -

It crosses your mind that this place seems like it's been abandoned for a long time now. The air is stagnant, and dust rests on all surfaces. You try and think back to how you got here. Was it a path that you followed? Have you been here before? You take a few steps toward the middle of the floor, looking around. There's nothing remarkable about an ( Read more... ) -

It's so empty... You can hear every echo bouncing off the bare walls. The emptiness almost reaches your very soul, and you can nearly hear the slow, echoing drip of water, from somewhere you can't make out. It's just... there.
When will she be back? For how much longer will she travel?
A sound makes you turn around.
"Y..Yoh."
Your eyes widen, in ( Read more... ) -

"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"
To your utter surprise, Fire comes crashing down from the ceiling ina shower of dust and wood smoke. Or, perhaps, you're not really surprised anymore. But you still stared wide-eyed at the clump of fabric and hair and twitching ears and tail on the floor in front of you.
What the heck happened?
"Oh, simple. Life got the ( Read more... ) -
Murky Depths III
Grass and bushes go by as I run across this field. I glance around, keeping an eye on the lizardmen around me, but they only idly watch me pass them. I slow down and check my map. I am close to Kalibran's location. I look up at the hill before me, searching for the dragon... there. Now to find a way up that hill...
I approach Kalibran. She hovers, ( Read more... ) -

(Before you read: 'I' is androgenous/male.)
It's a sunny day. Awesome. I look around as I approach the building. There's people milling around, people who look like school students. They're all wearing the same exercise uniform, white T-shirt and red shorts with white stripes down the sides. I'm wearing one of these outfits too. We're at a rival ( Read more... ) -
Murky Depths II
The noon sun shines brightly, but it does not cut through the fog around me. I spot a marsh zombie nearby, and take aim. I let loose an arrow. The zombie falls and I lower my bow, this bow that is heavier than I remember it being. Ah, it is a new bow. I have new clothes as well, new armor. I step up to the fallen zombie and carve off a good deal ( Read more... )
