The Snake Queen - Prologue
A young man crept through the forest. It was his home, and yet he did not completely trust it. The trees thinned ahead of her, and a clearing cache came into view. At its center, a moss-covered cottage of black wood stood, with golden light streaming through the windows, illuminating the dim woodland. He approached the door and heard an unearthly humming, coming from the little shack. He opened the door silently and stepped inside.

Webly's Well
Two frogs, Wisely and Webley by name, lived in a bonny marsh in the English countryside. One exceptionally hot summer, there was a drought, and Wisely and Webley decided to find a better home. After hours of walking, they came to a large, deep well that was not quite full. “Let’s jump in here and make ourselves comfortable. It looks quite cool down there,” Webley remarked blithely. “No, no!” replied Wisely, who was somewhat more discerning. “This well has been affected by the draught. What if it were to dry completely? How would we get out?” But his words were wasted on Webley who had already leaped into the well. Sadly, Wisely kept walking, because he was thinking that, when Webly was bored, Webly would follow him. After some time, Wisely came upon a stream and started to build a house.

Dragons: More Species
In my last document, “Dragons: Common Species”, I listed the three most common dragon species (water, forest, and fire). I have since then decided that knowing three types of dragons is not enough. One should endeavor to learn as much as they can about such creatures, in case you happen to run into one of them. So I have collected more of my (very scattered) notes, and written this to help you know what to do if you run into a mother dark dragon and her younglings.

Dragons: Common SpeciesTop Story - September 2021
What do dragons look like? Where are they found? What are their habits? With so many types of dragons to learn about, a field guide is very useful. Unfortunately, accurate field guides are very rare and very expensive. For this reason, I have compiled the characteristics of three of the most common dragons.

Frost
Naamah ran. She saw the forest ahead and knew that, if she made it to the border, she would be safe. She heard the hounds behind her and the shout of a man. Her father. With tears streaming down her face, Naamah ran even faster, ignoring the bushes that scraped her skin as she fled past them. When the noise quieted to the fall of her own feet and her own sobbing, she slowed down. She then began to navigate the forest with care, searching for a little waterfall.

Tips For A Minecraft Dungeons Player
I have found it hard to progress in Minecraft Dungeons, especially now that Mojang has merged its launcher with the Minecraft launcher (I spent almost a month trying to figure out if I had to re-buy the game). Because of this, I have decided to put together a list of tips.

Of Gingerbread and a Key
On my sixteenth birthday, my grandma gave me a little black notebook to “keep track of daily life and to remind me of what I had to be thankful for.” A tiny thing, small enough to fit in my apron pocket and covered all around in black leather. It had a real silk string, too. How she came by it, I couldn’t then guess. Everyday I’d write a little something about what Ma was making for supper or how the crops were growing. Until the day my grandma died, just two short months from when she gave me the notebook.
