Thon'il the Hundred Legged crawled up the side of a particularly thick flower stem. Despite its girth, it still bent slightly at the weight of the massive insectoid. “Blasted plantses, not strong enough for Thon'il,” he hissed out under his breath. The spines of his many legs gripped the stem enough to create slight punctures. Falling was something Thon'il was not particularly fond of. He made a point to avoid it. Upon cresting the flower, Thon'il was met with a blast of sunlight. He clicked ...
In a tunnel of light, she found her brow furrowing Recollections of past met with reality of present The dazzling wellsprings of Titania’s many eyes aglow Tears rolling down her face like a branching stream Recollections of a past not her own Reality of a present she would soon lose Legendary tales, crushing realizations A weapon reborn, an incorporeal killer of light Unearthed from a planet long forgotten Dark lie the corners of the universe Darker still will the universe soon be Stars abound in the ...
This may well be my final entry in this journal, for after many long years and numerous delves into the forsaken burrows of this land, I have found it! Korzahn’s infamous Lightscourge. I had never truly believed the legends – after all, they sounded completely loony – but as I stood before the dias which held the blade, I finally understood. It was just as the tales described it: a weapon borne of shadow that feasts on light. The room in which it sat was encircled by luminous sconces ...
[WP] The world is plunged into chaos as the last of the superheroes is slain. A new team arrives to save the day, but their powers are unorthodox, and they call themselves “The Useful Useless.” Loose fabric flapped in the wind as Trigger ran along the outer wall of the fortress. “Sometimes I really wish I'd gotten control over sewing machines or something…” Her poorly fitted outfit was a constant source of disappointment for her. She'd designed it herself, after all. The ...
[WP] You are a Candle in a world of darkness, You can light yourself and see wonderful things… However staying lit means certain death as your wax melts away slowly… “So let me get this straight… you're… literally a candle?” “Yep.” “And you can actually choose whether your wick is lit or not?” “Mmhmm.” “So then why live in darkness? I feel like this must get pretty annoying after a while; I mean, I've only been here ...
[WP] For many, Arbor day is a barely noticeable holiday. For you, it is a grim reminder of what they took from you. “It’s hard being a druid in the 21st century.” Valerie thought to herself. Her kind had been forced into secrecy long ago. Many in their community blamed the so-called “industrial revolution,” but in truth it went back well beyond that. Humanity had lost its respect for nature early in its development. As soon as nomadic life stopped and civilization began, ...
[WP] Time travel finally is invented, and on your first travel, you find out there is a Time Travel God, that prevent any significant change in the timeline, by any means necessary. “You won’t believe what I saw in there…” “Try me.” “Gods are real… And we ticked ‘em off…” “Trevor, did you just say gods? As in, more than one?” “‘fraid so, Dan. Now, if we're gonna finish our mission, we'll need to kill ...
[WP] Like Popeye, you to have a superpower that is activated by eating a specific food. That food: mayonnaise. All my life, I was mocked. They called me slow, told me I wouldn’t amount to nothin'. Said I was too fat. Said I was worthless. And you know what? For a while, I believed ‘em. That is, until I discovered my big secret. Ever since then, I learned to stop giving a fuck about just about everything. And that’s what lead me to where I am now. My friend needed help. My friends need ...
[WP] You work at a magic support helpdesk and the newest spell compendium just dropped. It has some…interesting bugs. Norton frantically pushed the talk button, and moments later a plucky female voice greeted him through the receiver, “1-800-DO-MAGIC, this is Jessica speaking. May I please have your name and the nature of your problem?” Norton spoke through gritted teeth, struggling against his desire to scream, “Y-yes Jessica, I… My name’s Norton and… Well ...
[TT] I reached the summit, looked up at the sky, and screamed The dwarves' attack was swift and entirely unexpected. Even the elves, as great as their magic is, were unable to scry the beginnings of war. We believed the land of Yrinx had finally entered into a time of peace. We were fools, every last one of us. In their subterranean halls, the dwarves constructed war machines the likes of which none in our world had ever seen. Huge contraptions of steel and fire burst forth from the tunnels they'd ...
