All That I Am

Weekly Contest #286

      The man awoke in a solitary room, finding his feet he looked about him. Right in front of him, in the middle of the room, was a table with a large open suitcase upon it, a single bright light bulb shining above, and around him, lining the walls of the white box he found himself in, were a myriad of shelves full of various items. The items seemed to have little to no correlation or relation to each other, randomly scattered about on the small space, and while many of them seemed rather insignificant, they o...

The First Necromancer

Contains mentions of gore, violence, and mental health issues      A young man came running frantically through the trees, his messy brown hair flying about as his white robe became dirtied and torn amidst the brush. “Talia!” He called out desperately as he approached a small hut in the woods. “Talia!” His eyes were flooding with tears as the door swung open, and a woman emerged, looking in his direction with a worried expression. She had piercing emerald eyes, an angular face and messy red hair, you would think...

The Oracle of Realms

A man and a woman trudged along across the verdant plains beneath the blue skies above. The man wore all black, save for an opulent crimson cloak with golden embroidering draped over his shoulders, covering the sword and dagger he had sheathed on his hip. Long brown hair and a braided beard billowed behind him as they walked towards the wind. He kept a vigilant watch around them as he followed the woman, dressed in a brown robe with a series of scrolls on her hip. She studied an open scroll that seemed indecipherable to the man, mumbling to ...

A Magical Date

      It was a quiet day in the quaint little town surrounding the Northern Church of Aventus, and people of all kinds, humans, dwarves, elves, bustled about their daily business. Some paused for a moment to acknowledge the arriving line of carriages, full of trade goods, coin, and a few people seeking transportation. They all soon found themselves performing a double-take on one passenger in particular, seated in the front carriage. They stared in awe as the cart passed by them, the strangers shiny plate mail a...

A Bloody Tea Party

      A thin young man with short blonde hair and dull brown eyes marched confidently into the shaded forest, almost pitch-black despite the glow of the full moon above. He travelled a roughly laid path, occasionally having to duck under low branches or step over exposed roots, seemingly unphased by the dark. He followed the path for a short time until he reached a clearing, with a cottage in the middle. It looked like it was once quite homely, but now the windows were completely boarded, the chimney was destroy...

The Final Act

      The alarm rang out throughout the marble and gold halls as its equally golden inhabitants rushed to arms past a young woman, who strode grimly in the opposite direction, deeper into the structure. Although her skin matched theirs, her eyes, her ears, all golden like every other high elf, the others passed judgmental looks upon her as they passed, for her hair burned red and fell down in curls, unlike their straight golden locks. Despite their distrust of this woman, the situation was dire, and they had no ...

The Eldest

      The old man sat hunched in a rickety-looking chair, almost as ancient as he was. Stroking his long white beard, he pondered life, as he so often does, while his crimson eyes bored into the crackling flames. He had wrinkly dark gray skin, pointed ears, and incredibly long curved horns. He could sense the presence of the young woman who entered his hut before she properly made herself known, and held up a hand in her direction, silencing her introduction before he turned to face her. She too was a dark elf, ...

To Draw Blood from Wine

Weekly Contest #234

As the woman stumbled into her room, clutching her neck, she reprimanded herself for venturing alone at night. Shooting a spark of energy, she lit the candles in her room, illuminating the rich furnishings she had recently inherited. Frantically she made her way to her desk, knocking aside the inkwell that rested on there as she reached for a drawer, producing a small bottle and some bandages before turning to the large silver mirror by the wall. Just looking at it, she knew she didn’t have much time left, as her reflection began to flicker ...

A Stray in Need

Weekly Contest #233

As the drunkard came stumbling into the bar, he grasped at his temple and right leg, wincing. He paused in the doorframe, massaging those areas as his facial expression changed to one of confusion, as though he expected something to be wrong, but found nothing. His attention was caught by the sound of someone clearing their throat, looking up, he saw the bartender staring at him expectantly from behind the bar, some distance away. His brow furrowed with additional confusion as he looked at the building he was in, and the bartender especially...
