Weekly Contest #356
The sharp pain pierced his foot, a hard metallic point between the soft grains of the dunes that had been cushioning his steps.‘Ugh, what the hell?!’ he muttered, kneeling to examine the ground. There was a small metal sting sticking up from the sand. It looked peculiar, not quite like a nail, too large for that, and too upright, not something that was subjected to the drifting sands.Curious, he began to dig. Deeper and deeper, exposing what turned out to be a pointy rod attached to a metal base. He tried to dig further but the sand was figh...
Weekly Contest #354

The reporters, screaming questions at him, ‘How are you feeling?’ ‘What was it like?’ ‘Glad to be back?’ ‘What do you want to do first?’ ‘Glad to see your family again?’He was, but this was not how it should be, how it was possible for it to be.

Emperor Salvator has never been weaker!’‘Yes, I know that, he really has fallen from grace, if he has ever had any, but why would you want to take his place?’Daedalus' eyes opened wide, as if seeing his interlocutor’s face better would help him understand the meaning of h...
‘It has been a while.”The eyes were sulfurous yellow, horns growing in impossible angles. A forked tongue that whipped between razor sharp teeth as it spoke, and oddly a rather mundane and civil tone and accent. Quite pleasant really.‘I found your name in this book’, piped the young man, his eyes large with amazement that the spell worked, and fear of the summoned being.‘And here I thought they burned all of those! They really should have, you know. Dangerous things in there.’Lavert was looking at the seemingly very dangerous thing that came...
