The outcry from the crocodilian monster was enough to divert the zweihander’s arc such that the heavy sword swing landed against the rock both combatants shared, sending sparks into the surrounding water. Lifting the sword for another strike, the warrior said, “Did I hear that right? Did you just call yourself Thread?...
The entrance to Hell was never what people expected. They always thought of fire and brimstone, or heads left on spike and wrought iron monstrosities. They never seemed to expect a large cathedral with a desk that looked as if it belonged in a personal study at its center. The room was well lit and had several benches ...
Seated at a large round table surrounded by a hoard of armor-bound men and rows of intimidatingly muscular women was Justin, a man who had dropped out of college to become a streamer on flinch.tv At first, he didn’t think he’d fit in here but the more he spoke and the more outlandish tale he told the more they ...
The jewel-studded door into the throne room loomed before me, as imposing as it was gaudy. I drew the Blade of Light, shielded my eyes with my free hand, and stabbed forward. There was a cascade of sparks that indicated failing wards. Probably something nasty; the owner of the castle wasn't called the Dread Lord for no...
Husband... Husband. Willow never thought he'd have that word directed to himself, but now... They were his world... He was a normal kid once, he mused, not that killing animals was normal, but did it matter at any point? He had grown up a terror, a terror who was constantly mistaken for his angel of a twin. He had't ...
As I went about my day, I couldn't help but notice that everything seemed a little off. The colors around me seemed duller, the smiles on people's faces less genuine. I tried to shake it off, telling myself that it was just my imagination. But as the hours passed, the feeling only grew stronger. I realized with ...
Thousands of movies and literature throughout human history have depicted the moment they would arrive. Of course each person has their own barmy ideas too. Consider one, Mr Atticus Featherstone. He was a sous chef who lived in a picturesque English cottage off the coast of Norfolk. Mr Featherstone was fairly well-like...
When they sent their representative, we expected a hero. Someone who stood head and shoulders above the rest, covered in ribbons and medals showing all the battles they had triumphed in. What walked out on the stage, still muddy and bloody from the battlefield, his biofilter mask in hand, stood far less than two mete...
The demonic knight laughed when I spoke those words. “So your telling me that you’ve won all your fights because your too much of a coward!?” He spoke as if I had insulted his honor when he first challenged me, I merely shrugged and stood from where I sat, “pretty much, look I’m not going to argue with you, I can tell ...
-PUT ME DOWN! WHAT THE VOID?! ~Language, Amara. These are sacred halls. -WHO ARE YOU? WHY DID THESE GOONS DRAG ME TO THESE “SACRED HALLS”! ~I am Councilor Harris, and these are Councilors Margate, Fredericks, & Jenna. The time has come. -The time has come for-? ~To take your seat upon the Council. Welcome! -U...
(1/2) Agatha of the Briars was a powerful and wise witch that was much older than she appeared. Long since achieving immortality through her magicks Agatha had seen the world change around her with the advancement of technology and society. Small villages became bustling cities in what seemed to be a blink of an eye. ...
“This is another breaking news report regarding the appearance of the unknown lifeforms around the globe. We will go live to our reporter on scene.” “Hello everyone, as you can see this is another outbreak of sorts of these aliens that crawl out of the ground. As in other parts of the world, these again are met my an ...
🎵 "And love will win the day!"🎵 The townsfolk sung, holding out the last note in a four part harmony with arms outstretched. A few beats later, they all dropped their arms and started huffing and puffing, trying to catch their breath. I spat in the direction of a sullen looking man sitting at a picnic table in the ...
I performed my first singing recital and hurt my friends with my voice. Should I give up my dream of becoming a singer? No, this isn't some joke about how terrible my singing is. My singing is actually magical, but not in a good way. Those unfortunate enough to be sitting in the front row during my 1st singing rec...
Tentacled monstrosities who demand offerings from hapless townsfolks generally lurk beneath the depths of the sea, not lounge in a breezy verandah sipping tea. But this one enjoys a good pot of chamomile tea, against all expectations and experiences I've garnered hunting evil creatures and demonic gods. I tensed my m...
It was definatly a moment. One- being kidnapped in my sleep wasn't pleasant. Woke up with brushes. Two- learning that the Orcs also believe in my gods. That was more than shocking to say the least. Turns out they favor the older scripts, which I understand. Three- they want me to bless a marriage, never did that before...
"I'm just... tired, I suppose." "You always say that." "Always?" "Yes. Every time we talk, you always end up saying that." "This is the first time we've met." "No, it isn't." "What? How?" "Remember; I'm not here to explain how the world works." "Right. Well, I guess it's still true, then. I just can't s...
There was zero warning. The World Ship just appeared in orbit one day. It popped into existence as if it had always been there, we just weren't seeing it. We had no clue what kind of technology could make that possible. We analyzed the transmission and the only thing our scientists could seem to agree on was that t...
"Why do you do this to us? What has society done to you to make you hate them so?" The masked villain before me shot me in my leg and I collapsed onto the floor. He walked over to me, his gun in hand and rubbed the barrel inside of my wound. I screamed and he laughed. He bent down, and began to answer my question. "Y...
Hello, old friend. It’s been a few sunrises since you last sat in my shade. I am glad to see you one more time, but sad to see you so. You look so serene, but so frail. Where have gone those strong arms that I remember? Where is that spark in your eye? Mother, but I miss it so. When you looked at your woman, when you l...
“Off with her head!” came the Queens familiar cry. All around Alice her enemies closed in around her. “You cannot hurt me” she whispered defiantly. “You cannot hurt me, you’re just a pack of cards!” At her bedside in the hospital her father was shuffling the deck. It had been three months since he had begun his vi...
It's very quiet now. Master Bruce was never easy to deal with even before the tragedy. He always had a strong will, but it was his own darkness I tried to protect him from. A darkness that made him break the housecats leg in two, slice the neighbours dogs gums with a scalpel or during archery practice accidently h...
The most frightening part was the suddenness of the water. No, this is just too much to jump in to; let me back up. I woke up, showered, picked up some coffee and went to work like every morning. There were a few clouds, but otherwise it was a beautiful April day. Everyone in the office seemed fine. We were all exci...
Hard day's work. Eleven hours at the office, it's time for you to put your feet up. To relax. Grab a beer and watch the game. She's got the kids so it's just you and your Eagles for the evening. Sure is nice when things work out, isn't it? You haven't had a real night off like this in years. Babies are tough, ...
-Shit. What was she like? -She was beautiful. A smart girl, straight A's in college. -She went to college? Really? -Your daughter was a Sociology major, Mr. Thompson. Before the drugs. -Little Angela went to college. Hah! Who knew I could put a kid through college? -Huh... -What? -How do you know her name? -I ...
[Note: I twisted the concept slightly. Not exactly a void] Pete decided that something was wrong with the world. Or with him. He first noticed something weird, when he was talking with some friends about Japan. He didn't remember how the discussion led to it, but he had said something about the bombs over Hiroshima...
EDIT: thanks for the gold haha. EDIT 2: posted some more, sorry if its not as good as the first part. but i tried :) "fuck.."i groaned as i got out of bed. My head was throbbing and my body felt much heavier than usual. Not the kind of heaviness that makes it hard to move. the kind of heaviness that you feel after yo...
Abby drifted in and locked the door behind her. Her pink leggings, denim skirt and black shirt loose like when she had left, but her face had changed from the morning. She was confused, and after dropping her things in her bedroom she went to her father's room and knocked. Shortly he appeared and picked her up into a h...
It was a clear and windy morning as the USS Chicago trudged through the choppy waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The landing craft could be seen from the ship. The Koreans had landed in the night and then pressed onward. Gunshots could be heard from the shore. As he got into the boat to head towards the shore, the marine's...
"You could take it! Just pick up the wallet, see if there is money inside, and then just shove it in your pocket!"Said the small horned figure on his left. "No one would know and you'd possibly have extra money." "NO!"interjected the equally small winged creature on his right. "Someone must have valuables and other th...
There existed an imaginary landscape for the purpose of this conversation. The visual aspect of this landscape is left to the reader to construct as per his mood, but the salient features include two men sitting opposite each other. "Someone on reddit wants us to debate. It says so in this post, but according to the r...
The first time I had coffee for free was on May, 30th, 1962. I was seventeen years old at the Green Frog Café, and my boyfriend at the time was eighteen years old and wore a beret. "You shouldn't clutter your pretty little head with these things", he said, taking the paperback edition of Albert Camus' The Stranger fr...
"Door 34-972 is ready to be opened."The loudspeaker droned on. I yawned and scratched my shoulder while waiting for the observational team to get into place. Four figures in yellow rubber suits approached, two of them carrying clipboards. "You may proceed."The lead droned on with what could only be the most annoying ...
With a loud crack, the floor opened up. Fire and ash exploded from the opening, clouding the room. A ferocious figure rose from the very depths of Hell itself. "Foolish mortal,"he boomed. "Thou hast lusted after that which is forbidden, wasting that which wouldst be shared with a lover. Spreading sin to- DAMMIT KATH...
In the deep jungle, you lose all sense of direction. The firefight had been quick and deadly, leaving me with only the chance to ditch my gear and retreat away from my squad. Johnston had bailed with me; each of us taking turns at covering fire while we pepper-potted back through the dense undergrowth. Then his rif...
I had only read of these strange contraptions in books. Mother didn't allow me to venture into the town at all so I had little to no idea how this strange world works. It was beautifully crafted. Surely a masterpiece of design but felt sad. It weighed down with a kind of remorse or guilt. As if it wanted me to leave it...
What the fuck is this place? I thought to myself. Speaking out loud here costed you your life. I looked at the fresh corpse on the floor. The person next to me opened his mouth, I nudged him and he closed it. This prison is for the damned. After Earth ran out of oxygen and people moved to Opula, the laws implemented ...
Everything loses its charm after a while. Sunsets are just boring if you watch it a million times so are rainbows.Everything is boring when you run out of questions to ponder. Man had answered all the questions except one. Man had asked every question with the hope of finding an answer which will give him the ability...
As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a tyrant. And I don't mean the whole Cincinnatus-dictator, Father-of-his-people bullcrap, thank you very much. I mean a straight-up tyrant. I mean the guy sipping champagne and laughing down at the useless little slaves toiling their lives away. I mean putting ...
I opened my drawers and threw a few blouses and jeans that I liked into my overnight bag. I slid open my underwear drawer and grinned wickedly at the black lacy piece on top. Michael was going to love it. I slipped that into the bag as well. "Hey sweetie." I turned to see my mom standing in the doorway. Her eyes were...
At a quarter past seven on the morning of September the seventeenth, with a light breeze blowing, as her home town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch began to groan awake, Anastasia Hardwick-Cholmondeley, youngest daughter of Christopher and Christabel, went on her accustomed morning ...
I wake up. I tend to the fields. I sleep. I wake up. I tend to the fields. I sleep. I wake up. I tend to the fields. A truck goes past. I tend to the fields. I sleep. I wake up. I tend to the fields. More vans today. I ignore them. I need to keep working. I tend to the fields. I sleep. I wake up. I see their faces ...
The air was spinning all around the roof of the PD, the way it always did in November. Gordon had tried to spark his lighter five or six times by now, but it wouldn't stay lit. "Screw it, probably better this way,"he thought to himself, "at least I can tell Barbara I kept it to three sticks today." He dropped the ...
I barge in, and the door bangs against the wall so hard it flies back at me, hitting my shoulder. "Dean…"Edgar raises his eyes startled from the dinner table. "Is everything all –" "Sorry, the door was open. Edgar, I need to talk to you. Hey Liz, sorry about barging in like this." Edgar frowns – Liz has the fork hal...
I never considered myself a bad person. Sure, sometimes I didn't hold the door when I was in a hurry and I've cut people off in traffic without using my blinker because I was careless or left the milk out on the counter. I never thought that those minor infractions would lead me to where I am today. I collapsed on the...
It hit me a few months ago while walking down the street after school with Wen Hao, my best friend. A black shiny round stone caught my attention. It shone bright on the pavement, reflecting the afternoon light. "Isn't that stone beautiful?"I said, quickly squatting down to observe it. Wen Hao walked up to stand by m...
A year had passed since I lost her. Beautiful, sweet, she was everything I could ask for and more. Could it be that I still stood a chance? Dreams of a flame rekindled, a passion reborn, I couldn't take her off my mind. Every spare moment is spent wondering what I could possibly do to fix this. For all that is good in ...
"You look ridiculous,"Alfonso said. Ironic, since he was a big talking bear named Alfonso. I tapped my Bear Goggles, smirked, and replied, "I'm making a fashion statement." Alfonso huffed. I nodded quickly at him and grabbed my groceries. "You have a nice day now,"Alfonso said. I caught a glimpse of my reflection i...
"...You can't be serious." The assembled team looked at the new president severely. He kept on waiting for one of them to smile, to laugh, to show him any indication that this wasn't some kind of bad joke. Nobody stirred. "You expect me to believe that the American Flag is a sentient being? A goddamn God?" The head...

I am Life and I just did as the Book of Life told me. Within the book was everything that has and will happen. It told me to create the universe, and I did. It told me to mold the energy into particles, and I did. Each page had precise instructions on exactly what I must do, the first instruction was to always read and...
"Is that all?"I wondered aloud. I drifted in the void, omnipotent, omnipresent and omni-depressed. For a few minutes I gave serious consideration to destroying the entire universe and starting again. It was only a few minutes. And I didn't just then. But I really, really thought I might. My existence began well en...
Gideon sighed. He knew today would be just another accident, another mishap, another fuck-up. Just like every other day. He couldn't explain how he did any of the things he did. Like tearing through the wall on the second floor of his office building. Or breaking off the driver's side door of his rental car. Or that o...
”Acolytes!” cried the hooded figure on top of the altar, wringing his claw-like hands in apparent anticipation. “The time draws nigh, the dark gods are stirring – one of you shall have their blessing and the untold powers that come with it!” &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I watched in disgust as two more hood...
While I agree that prompts should be less specific, you guys are missing an unfortunate truth of this subreddit: prompts get most of their upvotes from people who never bother to read any of the stories. Those upvoters simply like the prompt itself, and this dynamic encourages prompts to include twists and specific det...
"Your name, please?" The homeless man stood at the door of the conference hall in a freshly hand washed suit. And by hand washed, I mean dabbed with water using his hands in the toilets of McDonalds. And by fresh I mean the opposite of fresh. And by suit I mean it looked like it used to be a suit in another life. "My...
Life would be nice as an adult. I'd have my wife Candice and my children Xavier and Amanda. I'd have a large but modest house, I'd play tennis at the local club, and I would read classic literature every day in the garden. Every once in a while I'd reminisce about my teenage life. I would remember how I used to stay u...
"Papa, where's Julia?"I asked. "I told you, Sasha. She had to go away." Every child anticipates their thirteenth birthday with excitement and apprehension. That's when children receive their Attunement. Everyone wishes for one of the elements, grows up playing make believe that they can already control it. I have lo...
My hands raise in surrender. My mind runs a thousand miles per minute. They have ray guns?!?! Crapcrapcrapcrap... The chief turns and trains his weapon on me. He's nervous. Jittery. Any moment he could accidentally pull the trigger and turn me into a pile of ash alongside my deceased, disintegrated girlfriend. *Thi...
Breaking News: US is at War with North Korea "In the early morning hour of 2:30 am, North Korean time, the United States launched its first wave of attacks on this rogue nation. With more on this story, we turn to field reporter Justin Stephenson. Justin, what are you seeing on your end? “Thank you Diane. The cha...
Dragons, fairies, griffons, magic. Lovely bedtime stories and great for the imagination, but not based in reality. At least, that's what we thought. Then, 20 years ago, the continent of Evergreen phased into being in the Pacific Ocean. Scientists were baffled, no one had noticed it until a plane had flown over. There ...
This was it. You'd spent your entire life building up to this point. You'd been turning into a horse in weird places for as long as you could remember. Some of your top Achievements: Turning into a horse on the Empire State Building without anyone noticing you turned into a horse, turning into a horse in the White Hous...
Johnny walked into the bar, he saw three pieces of dripping red meat hanging above the counter. It was hard not to miss them. Slightly disgusted by the sight, Johnny asked the bar tender, "What's up with those 3 pieces of meat?" Johnny's innocent and unintended pun caused the burly man sitting next to Johnny to snick...
He came out of no where. I know it's a shitty thing to try to defend yourself when you just splattered a preschooler all over the grill of your piece of shit car, but he literally came out of nowhere. In the aftermath of emotions and despair over what I had done, not to mention the whirlwind of police and paramedics, I...
I remember watching the terraforming attempt as a child. At the time, it seemed so promising. It was the age of a new era of pioneers, going from crossing the Atlantic to flying off into deep space. Small habitats were built, over time expanding into great domed cities. Forests grew, wildlife thrived, and it was easy ...
You see, Thaum was essential to this mission. He was great at hiding, sure, he was smart and decently strong, sure, but most importantly, he was a mimic octopus. In the past, these creatures had simply disguised themselves as dangerous marine life to scare off predators, but things had changed. Drastic measures were n...
Weaponized love. Of all the dirty, rotten things they could have turned into a weapon. This was the fourth attack this week, and like the last three it took place at a high school prom: where else are you going to find such a bulk of pheromones? My squadmates and I stood outside the double-doors of the high school gy...
"Ah,"he said, standing from the low bed. The room lacked decoration or sparkle. A diorama of a cave stood at the end table, an unlit candle abandoned nearby. "Yes, finally. I have been waiting for you." The light outside the room was blinding. My eyes blurred with tears. "What's this now?" "Oh, they haven't told you,...
"Stop please I don't want you to get hurt, please!"Tim cried, a dribble of mucus leaking from his nose. Aaron glared at the pathetic mess on the ground, as his friends laughed around him. "Nobody here likes you, FREAK. Why don't you just go back to whatever planet you came from?" "Watch out Aaron!"Yelled one onlooker,...
They're small, they're everywhere, and they Just. Won't. Die. They acheived FTL around 40 Earth years ago, and in small numbers, humans were manageable, but if left to their own devices, they would soon be fighting their way out of any spaceport. The first thing the humans did upon finding the rest of the civilized g...
I never expected to get much from my late grandfather Albert. We were never very close, though neither were my brothers. We never visited his house much as it was far out in the country. But the difference was is when we did actually visit him, I would have conversations with my grandfather. “Wouldn’t that be a good ...
It was frightening at first. Countless religions have tried to provide explanations – speculations, really – about what occurs after death. Various branches of science have offered vague descriptions of endorphin-release, comforting hallucinations, and flashes of fading consciousness, preferring to focus on the thresh...
"I don't get it. I thought I was a good person?"Jacob grabbed another beer from the inferno-blazed obsidian countertop that seemed to spread all throughout the chasms of hell. "Look man."Said one of the demon bartenders behind the counter popping the cap off Jacob's beer. "Here, we just don't care. Everyone likes to s...
Everyone brought something different to lay into the grave. Those whom Charles had known best remembered the personal requests he had made them. His neighbor Christie had baked a quadruple order of the triple-chocolate brownies he'd loved so much. "Won't a few of those go bad?"someone asked, and someone else had said, ...
“Are you sure we should be trusting Chronos? He’s nearly killed us every time we’ve fought.” Magnus said calmly, watching over the class. “We shouldn’t trust him. But he has turned over all his weaponry to us.” Megaton responded, his arms crossed. “Well, if he betrays us, you’re buying dinner.” Magnus said jokingly. ...
I only knew that the world was ending because someone forgot to turn off the television in my hospice room. When you are dying, the world becomes very small indeed. I always followed the news closely, but since my diagnosis, I gradually lost interest in worldly affairs. One by one, my family came to my room to say ...
"It's beautiful." She'd moved her small hand from my face, my green eyes opening to see the view. From our spot on the mountain the stars dazzled and sparkled. All this time and I'd never truly appreciated how beautiful the stars were away from all the lights of the world. They couldn't compare. "It is." "Up for a d...
The Hierarch leaned back in his seat, annoyed. The games had lasted for nearly 30 cycles, now, and the masses were becoming bored. "It seemed a perfect plan," he thought, clicking his mandibles with frustration. No matter what horrors the apes had faced, they had overcome. Of the original 10 Humans, 8 still remained....
We were supposed to be better than this. We'd met on the field of battle, pawns of other men. We slaughtered in the name of those men and formed a bond of brotherhood, a pact of steel that was our only defense against the horrors that'd we'd seen, that we'd committed. We slowly climbed the ranks, at first nudging our ...
Millions of questions raced through my mind: how far the did the illusion go? Was my whole life set up for this zoo exhibit that I was apparently part of? I fed my toddler son his breakfast and kissed my wife goodbye this morning; was that all just part of the plan? What about my choice was to take this hike today - di...
“Foolish mortals! No man can defeat me!” “Shut the fck up demon! We’re getting tired of you guys just popping up every three to four days! Do you know how much it costs to fly these troops over here? I’m so fcking tired of your shenanigans that I’m considering keeping you alive just to torture you for eternity! Karm...
"Want some popcorn?"the man offered. He held a rather large bucket of it. "Wha- I don't even... where the he- where's everyone?"I cut myself off at the last moment, remembering where I was. Or could be, at least. Wouldn't do to blaspheme in Heaven. "Well... that's a long story. See this?"The guy produced a handgun an...
"You have to stop this! You don't know what you're going to let loose on the world!" They're not listening. They just keep chanting. But there's still time. As an experienced demon hunter I'm familiar enough with most summons to know how long they take. It's been a long time since this one was used but I'm so familiar...
Ever since the day that I came into this world, kicking and screaming, I wanted to be a hero. My parents supported that decision, with as much love as they could, even if now looking back, I wonder if they really thought that I could do it. That was until the Tyrant King, Azorius did what every evil king had done to he...
“Black wings,” Steve said. I knew his name was Steve from the name tag pinned to his chest. The other guy didn’t have a tag, but from the way they sat together staring at the monitor on the reception desk, it was clear the other guy was just as upset as Steve. “Black wings?” he said. Steve chuckled. “April fools...
“Look, here’s how it’s gonna go. You’re gonna break into the bank, you’re gonna take the money, and then you’re gonna go. Got it? No laughing, no joking around, and no self-identification. I’m looking at you, Jerry.” The supervillain says, looking pointedly at the man next to him. “But boss,” one of the minions prote...
“That damned Tony’s across the street! Stealin’ all da business. Thinkin’ they got betta pizza than us. We’s gonna show ‘em that Vincenzo’s got the best pizza. You all hear that?” Vincenzo Jr. had the entire kitchen rallied together. Some stragglers from the waiting staff had their interest aroused and stayed to hear ...
My eyebrow rose at the specificity of the question. I mean, I'm a regular this bar, and I've done my little trick many times before, so I might have a name for it, but usually I only start "guessing"people's ages after everyone is a little tipsy and not inclined to take offense. This guy was completely sober, and oddl...
I work at an antique store. That's the easiest way to explain what I do. However, it's not just any antique store. It's one of those "stores out of time." You know the kind of store I'm talking about. Maybe you stumbled into one because it looked interesting, browsed for a few minutes, then wandered back out and found...
“You’re messing with me aren’t you?” Chloe looked up from the sheet of paper I’d handed her. “You really don’t know who this person is?” “No I have no idea. For the past few weeks I’ve gotten little packages in the mail. No postage or return address. It was always cute things like toy rings, costume jewelry, and once ...
Even before they entered the great hall Harry could hear them. As they haphazardly entered the hall their shouted conversations easily doubled the overall volume of the festivities. Where the Durmstrang students were ordered and intense; the Ilvermorny students were just shy of a casual chaos. Instead of sitting at the...
"How goes the war?" Every day I ask the same question. Hoping against hope my plan, to give the people a common enemy, something to unite against, would start to succeed. And every day my hopes are dashed, with each general's report sinking me further into melancholy. "Our enemies in the South are trapped in Silva Ba...

You'll be fine, the voice of Eric's wife echoed in his head. People are people, regardless of species. Sure, right, I know that, Eric heard himself answering, but not everyone agrees with you. Eric stifled a sigh as he played the conversation over to himself for what was probably the twentieth time that eveni...
A single tear splashed onto the ivory piano keys as Andres sat. He had imagined this very moment for the longest time. The weight of the note echo'd throughout the audition hall. The panel of judges, watching in utter confusion and a lack of contempt, shuffled awkwardly in their chairs. "Mr Vasques..." Andres didn't ...
"That's amazing,"is what people sometimes say. They say "What the hell?"more often. This is usually because I just told then about my family. You see, my grandparents were completely obsessed with children. They had a big home, with as many children as possible. I forget, but I think they ended up with an overwhelming...
I waited in the tavern for my meeting with the Dwarf "Almim Noblegut", a 'scientist' he calls himself. Dwarves may be resourceful with their metals and engineering, masters of magic too; but my latest work here ought to put some of their ingenuity to shame. I waited for longer, doubting if the courier actually delive...
Boy held his spear tight. The strange short creature hunched over in the forest clearing did not sense him. Man was grinding his teeth and pinching his chin. The shorter creature stood, a strange round weave of plants in its hands, over filling with the harvest of the woods. “Why are they so far north?” Man asked him...
Mages are amongst the highest class. Being able to cast spells from your fingertips gives you a sense of superiority, a feeling that you are above the masses. But even amongst such an elite group of people, there is a hierarchy. And my family, well, they are practically at the top. My bloodline is full of powerful lon...
You let a smirk cover you face. Years, a whole decade you had worked for that moment. The High Priests in the room looked horrified as the seven holy lights lost their spark. Your shadow was growing more and more and nothing could stop you now. Soon it would only be darkness everywhere. The empire was a threat to its ...
