(This story contains violence and drug references.) I was a nobody. Another drug-filled homeless man sleeping on the streets. Always cold, always hungry, always begging. Then a tall man walked up to me. He wore a typical pastor's attire of a colored buttoned-up shirt and black pants. He asked me, "Do you wish to walk out of this darkness?". I nodded enthusiastically. "Then come with me," he said as he reached his arm out and helped me up. He brought me to an office building where several people were walking around carrying building supplie...
Laraganus, Shem, Shiv, and Mer are all sitting on one side of a table, while on the other side is an elf (named Xepo)—the trio of half-orcs and the meramid look at the stranger with confusion and suspicion. The elf, though, looked at them with a smile. She sat straight with no curve in her back, prim and proper as always. Her dark yellow skin meant she was a Sun Elf. Earlier that month, Shiv and Mer were confronted by Xepo, who stated that she was Laraganus's mother and wanted to meet her. Shiv and Mer sent a message to Laraganus, which sur...
"Alright, next week is Halloween, so who's dressing up as what?" asked the siren excitedly to the others. While wrapping her arms around Jack and Nick, who were sitting on a couch playing a video game on the TV of the game store. Nick felt a bit uncomfortable, while Jack just accepted it, much like how he recently accepted the fact that he had to date the siren. Arron and Trevor sat at a table in silence, painting game pieces. "Oh, come on. Someone's got to have some idea of what they're going to dress up as," said the siren, trying to start...
It was a typical school day afternoon at the game store. Jack was doing homework, and Nick and Arron were playing video games on a TV. Trevor was struggling with making a trifold presentation for a school project. "Hey, Nick, I know you love World War 2, so would you say that the Allies beat the Axis because of better logistics or better strategy?" asked Trevor. "Ok, that is a crazy question," said Nick as he struggled to play the game while trying to formulate an answer to Trevor's question. Nick lost the round due to being distracted. "Da...
A gentle breeze brushed against Drahoe's skin as ash and embers fell to the ground. The mansion that she had called her home burned right in front of her. She watched helplessly as the other wives and slaves tried to fight the fire, but their efforts were in vain. The husband of 8 was kidnapped along with several of the children. No one knew who attacked or why. Drahoe was nothing special, a non-magical halfling village girl in the middle of nowhere. However, one day, as she walked through the village market, she met a vendor selling a var...
The waves of water crashed and folded onto each other on Kamo's shores. The sounds of the waves crashing and colliding made Cur-Kel feel at home. He stood in the water, his purple fish-scale legs, feeling the cool embrace of the water. He gripped his coral necklace (a magical object that granted him the ability to walk on land). "I keep forgetting how beautiful this place is," he said. "It's peaceful too," said Queen Kera as she walked up to him and placed her head on his shoulder as her dragonic eyes looking out onto the waves. Cur-kel wrap...
I've seen the cult sacerfice dozens of convicted rapists and pedophiles. We took great pains to ensure that the people we sacrificed were, in fact, the evil we were trying to kill. We didn't sacerfice people who we weren't certain did these horrific actions, only those we know beyond a shadow of doubt, and for some reason were allowed to keep breathing. So, with our connections with the local police, we managed to get them transported to our building where we would sacerfice them in the name of God so that their evil would be wiped from the ...
When I first met my husband, I was driving down the road in the dark while raining (yeah, real original meet-cute.). I was shocked when I saw a hooded figure and swerved to avoid hitting him, and then. Well, I don't remember, but I woke up in my busted car with a hooded figure looking at it as if he had never seen one. I then took out my phone, wincing at the pain from trying to move my arms and back. Once that was done, I dialed 911, and after shedding some tears, I managed to get an ambulance sent to me. The entire time, the hooded figure ...
During the Golden Age of Heroes and Adventurers, several parties would go to the White Valleys to fight necromancer cults, Lich Lords and Ladies, and any undead creatures for glory, training, or "party bonding." However, navigating the land was a whole challenge in itself. Dead trees towered, covered, and obstructed every path. Any road that would be made would be stopped by undead armies raiding and thus halt any progress. The rocky cliffs were held up by loose rock, so landslides were common occurrences. All in all, most parties would get ...
The Siege of Kamo lasted for almost 6 years now. Smugglers would reach the city, but would be too injured and scared to leave the city. Many parts of the city resulted in riots and even cannibalism. However, while the city was consumed with chaos and death, the royals hid in Kamo Castle. One day, a stranger in white and golden robes entered Kamo Castle and spoke to King Kramous. "My master wishes to aid you by destroying your enemy; however, you must give up your idols," said the stranger. King Kramous laughed. "Your master must be a fool i...
After a lengthy selection process, Zephren was chosen to be King Shreo's wife and thus would be Queen of the Green Swamps. News reached Laraganus, who was in the middle of sieging a rebel hideout near the border of the Yellow Meadows. "So my little sis gets to fulfill the dream she always had. Good for her. However, this is even better for me because I get to go back and wear a nice dress for a change," said Laraganus as she handed the message back to the messenger. "Just be careful not to wear one that's bigger than the queen's," said one o...
I was working my farm early in the morning when I saw a purple and black cloud form and descend right in front of me. When the cloud dispersed, a figure stood in front of me. He had a horse-like head, wore gleaming armour, and held a scythe in his hand. "Kameron, son of Kalmon. Do not be afraid, for you have been chosen to be blessed by the True God. You shall see what is to come," said the being. I was so afraid that I froze, for I didn't know who stood before me in that moment. "I...I do not know you...or your god...I'm...I'm just a farm...
Queen Zera passed away at the age of 67 due to an illness. The crown was now on Kira's head. The country of Kamo observed a three-day mourning period. Kira mourned for a week. Kamos never stopped mourning. During Kira's coronation, a political group called the "Roylaws" interrupted the event by shouting "FAKE! FAKE! This woman is not legitimate. For she is a daughter of Katose the Traitor! The former High Druid!" Most of the court and foreign guests were shocked by the news. "Yet I am still the daughter of Queen Zera. Which makes me more leg...
A six-winged amphiptere hugs the trunk of a tree. It's a Vine Dragon, native to the Golden Forests. It doesn't move a muscle, waiting for small forest creatures to get close for it to strike. A bird lands on a branch, and a small rat scurries along another branch. Then, from a nearby hole, a squirrel pokes its head out, but before the legless dragon could strike, a hawk grabs the squirrel. The other creatures in the tree scatter, leaving the Vine Dragon alone. It climbs closer to the hole and finds nothing but nuts and shed fur. It begins to...
"He did it. He actually did it," said the halfling king of the Yellow Meadows. He looked out at the castle window that overlooked fields of grain and grass. "How, though? He doesn't have magicians powerful enough to tear down Kamo's walls. Not even we have access to such power. The elves may have, but they're now all dead, well, except the royals. They've gone into hiding," said the Lich Lady of the White Valleys. She sits at a table massaging her temples. "Kamo has fallen, and it's only a matter of time before his empire hunts all of us dow...
