Weekly Contest #105
*sequel to On the Brink of War* Matriarch Aloina Asi, daughter of the imperial Asi Clan of Hanei, thought herself to be a fairly reasonable person. She listened intently and without bias to the pleas of her citizens that came from all corners of their nation, and made swift and effective decisions in the face of danger. Her popularity amongst the common folk was fairing excellently, as well. However, breaking into the Rainforest Sanctuary, standing before the Kiniro Pond witho...
Weekly Contest #104
The sun was shining, the birds were chirping outside, and there wasn’t a single cloud in sight. A perfect day for Lukas to spend his time in the woods outside his home, cataloging the wild creatures that inhabited the place. If it weren’t for the fact that all his plans were ruined the moment he opened his eyes… …and was greeted by a pair of sky blue eyes and an obnoxious, goofy smile. Lukas heaved a long sigh, pushin...
Mysteries weren’t uncommon, in a world like Anila. Anila was a planet with new discoveries always hiding just around the corner, where you could try to go to the local grocery store yet find a hidden magical crystal on the way. It was perplexing to some, thrilling to others, but a major nuisance to most people. But if you thought mystical ruins and cursed spellbooks were bad, then outside the major cities it was even worse. Monsters prowled enchante...
“Are you coming tonight?” Amber looked up from her book, slightly startled by the abrupt question. “What?” “Are you coming?” Klia questioned again excitedly, literally bouncing up and down on the couch. “To the Halloween party at the Shinsei Temple tonight! It’s completely free, no admission fees or food sales whatsoever! And everything is funded by the Goddess herself!” “Ah yes, the Goddess…” Amber forced out a small...
Weekly Contest #103
The planet of Shogai was the definition of complexity. The land itself was divided into three continents. Its people were more divided than the oceans that formed a barrier between each of the three continents. Monsters born from the depths of Jigoku crawled out from pits that ran deep into the planet’s molten core, seeking to destroy every last soul of the humans. Magical bonds tied people down onto the earth, while others’ sole purposes were to snip those bonds and release the s...
Ulyssa had heard of murder cases in the city before. There was the Jeremy Case four years ago, where a mysterious murderer dubbed Jeremy was going around drowning people during the night, as well as the Kelvin Incidents two years ago, where a man was killing people with a poker stick. It was expected, as the area of the city where Ulyssa lived did, unfortunately, have the highest crime rate. But no one had ever seen anything as peculiar as the Ring Case, as the detectives called i...
CW: violence, death It was 9:51, April 14th, 1912, on the unsinkable Titanic. Dinner parties were well into their festivities, the lower classes were partying everything off in different bars and restaurants, and Sophi Goldstein was about to make the biggest mistake of her life. After her sister Trisha had been killed in a fire that also burned down their tailor shop, Sophi had wanted a new start outside of France. So she followed the popular trend and decided to make the voy...
Rosethorn was being tormented by a dead ghost. She didn’t understand why; she hadn’t done anything wrong! Rosethorn, 25, lived in Chicago, worked as an editor for a popular newspaper, and had two pet cats. Just another ordinary folk in a world full of ordinary people. So of course Rosethorn would be frightened and perplexed when a demon started haunting her dreams. The first night it happened, Rosethorn brushed it off...
Weekly Contest #102
Seasky College, located in southern New York, was a traditional, promising college with an unique curriculum. With its revolutionary teaching ideas, Seasky kept up a steady population of intrigued parents and students throughout the years that it had been operating. With two daughters, ages 15 and 12, Elizabeth Johnson was no different. Unlike any school before it, Seasky College had close to no actual schedule at all. Every day, different tea...
Sometimes, bad things just happen. Sometimes, dreams will never rise. Some lives end much too soon. Some evil will never ever die. Not all wars end in peace. Not all heroes choose the right side. The world is not a happy place. There are hardships and struggles. Every now and then, every day just feels like another day of torture. But people move forward, keep on going with their lives and do everything they can...
“A butterfly drinks from a flower for sustenance. It depends on the flower for life. But if the flower wilts and dies, will the butterfly mourn the flower’s death, or find another flower to drink from?” The Kingdom of Xia was flawed. Extremely lacking in common sense, where the government operated on what would make the people happy rather than what was really good for the kingdom. Sometimes that kind of thinking would make the citizens more content to live in Xia and others more ...
Bathed in light, glory, and glamor, the residents of Beacon Street were all extremely gifted and special in their own ways. There were twenty-four houses in total on Beacon Street. Despite having similar layouts, each and every one of the houses were decorated and customized uniquely to their owner’s delight. Some had stainless white brick walls, while others were painted neon pinks and greens and even rainbow. The wide pallet of colors on the...
Weekly Contest #101
“My life is paused when you’re not here.” “Excuse me?” Lukas looked over at Marigold in surprise, who was sitting on one of the crates, looking down at the ground. She had arrived at Theater Club half an hour ago, and had done nothing in the time that passed. Cinder had long given up trying to convince the girl to help make the props; Marigold never spoke and she never did anything to help. She always showed up, sat somewhere, and always stared at t...
The City of Sunrise was a paradise, for many. Tall skyscrapers that peaked above the clouds, the city lights that never went out during even the darkest of nights, and a place bustling with opportunities for many young, aspiring workers. In the skies was where everyone wanted to be. A place where you were up so high that the sun was always shining, and the occasional cirrus cloud would pass through your neighborhood. Sunrise’s artificial clima...
“I just don’t understand. What exactly is the importance of the ring?” Diana buried her face in her hands, feeling a migraine headache incoming. The group of investigators had been gathered in the police station for hours by now, gathered around the stiffening corpse of Sebastian. They had proposed a multitude of possibilities and tested every single one through, yet none yielded any results. “Well there has to be an explanation!” Vincent said furio...
