I dreamt of a butterfly
Adrift in the winds of summer

[WP] Aphrodite is talking to Ares. "Y'know, Persephone gives Hades flowers everyday. I wish you'd do that." The next day, Ares goes to the Underworld and gives Hades flowers. "Yeah, I'm not really sure why Aphrodite wanted me to do this, but here you go." | Persephone stopped in the doorway, looking at the sight before her.

In your long life you made a lot of friends, including the grim reaper, and so you aren't afraid to meet them again. Only that the being sent to collect your soul is something very different and way scarier. | When the bright light of the detonation faded from his sight, he thought he had failed. Again.

[WP] Dragons are logical. They only hunt things that cower or attempt to run from them. Dragons only fight that which attacks them first. But something that does neither absolutely terrifies them, because it implies that whatever it is, no matter the appearance, it must be stronger than them. | “Alright” said Steve, “We’re about to step into the dragon‘s cave.

[WP] Peter Pan is no child, for he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, an unknowable horror from the stars masquerading as a boy. | Peter stands on the edge of the clocktower, toes curling over the ledge, wind raking his hair like a lover tired of waiting. The Lost Boys are a feral knot beneath him, all sharp elbows and skinned knees, grinning with the crooked sincerity of the doomed. He tilts his head, considering the moon—white, swollen, and love... | Children had so much faith. Their poor little pre-frontal cortexes could barely think five minutes into the future, let alone realize the lies fed to them.

[WP]When a soldier loses a limb, it is a tragedy. Soldiers are needed at peak efficiency, so they must undergoes the unthinkable - grafting metal to flesh. A horrific abomination, the mere process is often enough to shatter what is left of their mind. Then, there are the humans. | Command Pod, Alliance cruiser Herdthinner
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?”

[WP] You've been summoned as a hero of legend to save a medieval fantasy world from evil. Same old, same old. However, it very quickly dawns on you that a medieval world's idea of "evil" is quite incompatible with what you, a modern person, would consider evil. | I gripped my sword tightly and walked towards the stone mansion hidden deep in the woods. For a den of evil and debauchery, it looked surprisingly... mundane. Yet the quest I was given upon my summoning was clear; the pleas of the distraught king apparent. Whoever - or whatever - was hiding inside this house was commit... | <Fantasy>
**"Fein weyir Korth es,"** the man with the staff proclaimed.

[WP] Guy lives alone in a world full of people, no one can see or hear him, he lives his days alone until one day he find another person, another person alone in this world with him. They fall in love but then he phases back into the world, everyone can see him again, but he can’t see her. | It wasn’t much of a shrine, really. More like a mistake someone forgot to clean up—a toppled stone, a clump of moss, a flower that bloomed too early and just stayed. The others had gold. Marble. Columns so tall they made you feel small before you even got inside, which was probably the point. Me? I had… well, dirt. Dir... | It's already 2100. 2100...

[WP] “Whatever you do, do NOT eat the apples from that tree!” “Why not?!” “You know the story of Snow White?” “Yes, of course.” “And the poisoned apple?” “Yes, I know about the poisoned apple. Where are you going with this?!” “That tree grew from that apple, so its fruit is most likely poisoned.” | I stared at the tree, and it looked like a normal apple tree.
"Seriously?" I asked.
The man nodded.

[WP] 5 years ago, you accidentally ran over a poor school student with your truck. You've carried the guilt all that time until one day, that very student knocks on your door, awoken from their coma. Rather than being angry, they thank you for inspiring their bestselling fantasy series | There was a beeping sound, it slowly woke me.
I ignored the beep as my eyes fluttered open to bright lights and an unfamiliar ceiling. There were screens every where. I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. I also noted there was a mask around my mouth. I closed my eyes and the world left me.

You raided a medieval armory and now, armed with full plate armor and a long sword, you will take back your home | I have to weigh about half a ton, I'm hot, I can't scratch anywhere, and I am just about certain there's a chipmunk in my greaves, but there are few things more satisfying than a raving, staggering undead chomping down on tempered steel.
You hungry, buddy? Munch on some chainmail, deadbrain. Then I swing old Chrysam... | As the old saying goes, learn from your mistakes.

[WP] A dragon mistakenly kidnaped a maid instead of a princes. Expecting the princess to be rescued after going out hunting, instead comes back to all their treasure meticulasly sorted by origin, color, and value. | He arrived in the fashion she'd expect. A massive gust of heated wind that seemed to shake the rock itself. Of course this time he stumbled in having reduced himself to a human form on the way.

Contrary to his usual gruff demeanor, he rolled a little on the rug she'd laid o... | I managed to hunt down an ogre, and manticore today.

[WP] A mark on your forehead identifies the god you must worship to stay alive, usually by joining its local church or temple. Your mark is unknown, meaning an old, forgotten god sponsored you. To survive, you must either find an old temple to worship at, or do the arduous task of building a new one | I bear the mark of a traitor.
His name was not forgotten, fading into obscurity by means of time and distance. No, his name seems to have been rent from the very cloth of history itself. Eras are needed for a god to truly die. He was mentioned naught but a century ago.

So, whaddafuk are they supposed to do *NOW*???? | The goddess said I died before my time. Feels like I've lived too long.
I had a purpose. It was hard work, dangerous work. By wit and will, steel and sorcery I pushed through. I didn't have time to think then, now all I do is roam. Like exploreing an RPG map long after the game is over.

You try your best to explain the less obvious downsides to this curse. | I pinched the brow of my nose, letting out the loudest sigh I had in a good twenty years. "Jane, I- I can't even begin to explain what's wrong with being a vampire."

[WP] You are a knight traveling through many kingdoms rescuing princesses from towers. Not for marriage or anything... you're just sick of royals imprisoning their daughters. | "And to who do I owe my eternal love and gratitude, may I ask?"

[WP] A grandma that you helped across the road turned out to be a genie who grants you a wish, you wish for a perfect 2023, but she misunderstood and now every day at 20:23 everything goes your way. | A little short story:
Amanda walked home in the warm mid-afternoon sun in a daze. She couldn’t quite believe what had happened. One minute she was helping an old lady cross the road. The next she was being granted what she knew was her deepest and only wish by the pedantic but nonetheless mystical elderly genie.

“Evening, ladies.” I said. “Another round?”
Three of the young ladies were engaged in rapid conversation. The fourth sat glued to her phone.

Finally I choose to be honest.

Seventeen quintillian years later, drifting along through the dead, silent void, you spot your old co-worker Kyle. He's still alive. And hes still talking. | The Last Two
I spot him from a million kilometers away - a speck of movement against the void. After seventeen quintillion years of nothing but black emptiness and dead stars, any change in the visual field is enough to jolt your consciousness fully awake.
I adjust my trajectory, the gentle push of thought enough to ... | I used to love counting stars. Back on Earth, I’d lie down on the grass with my arms behind my head, and some wet grass was itching the back of my neck. I would just stare up at the sky for hours. It felt infinite back then.

Within that range, I can lift several times my bodyweight. Still sounds useful, right... | They laughed at first. They didn’t understand the scope of this power.
