Adventure
West Falls
Colonel Fitzpatrick was a busy man, so finding room in his day to speak to a reporter from a newspaper he'd never heard of was a particular nuisance. Quite why such a thing had, not only reached his desk, but actually been booked in was taking up more brain space than he'd normally like.

Firebloom
There were not always dragons in the valley. Marud City has always been comfortably nestled in a lush green valley between two rugged, once impassable mountain ranges. It was always peaceful in the valley. As the Naithien capitol, it's the country’s crown jewel. For centuries, architects and artists have been competing for builder’s grants to be allowed to beautify the city in their image, to immortalize their work as a towering spire, an encompassing museum, an awe-inspiring temple, or as much as a simple mural. The greatest artists from the known world, and a few who claimed to come from beyond its limits have turned what was-centuries ago-a drab market town into a rich collection of what always felt to me like individual jewel boxes you can fit hundreds of people into. When my brother and I moved to the city, I had expected to be disappointed. I had thought it couldn't possibly live up to its reputation. I was wrong.

The Bladesinger
He had been traveling for a couple of days, expecting his prey to be on the way to Fonto. It was truly the only logical place for this suffering idiot to be heading, he decided. There were no other cities that would let him in and Fonto was a lawless place on the other side of the great forest, away from the sheriff’s men in Sota. He had to be heading there.

The Dragon at the waterfall
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. But love changed that, the night I saw her through the enchanted waterfall. Our vast valley of the Charmed is hidden deep in the Azktarian Forrest, the only way into our valley is hidden behind an enchanted waterfall that protects us from the Jynxed. Only the Charmed can leave if they dare, and in order to come back home, they use an encrypted spell that will reveal the entrance into the valley. If the Jynxed stumbles upon the waterfall they would just see the simplicity of the waterfall cascading over the wet rocks behind it. The Charmed went into hiding over 200 years ago to escape the dark magic that was plaguing the minds and souls of every living creature throughout the kingdom of Azktarian, this is the reason we call the lost souls still trapped out there, the Jynxed. The Azktarian Forest remained untouched until about a year ago when one of our Antecedents discovered the edge of the forest was starting to turn gray and die. Antecedents are the bravest of the Charmed, they leave to go find lost souls to bring them back here to help relieve them of the dark magic, but since the discovery of the dying Forrest everyone has been so panicked, they have been working on spells and charms to try to stop the plague from spreading any further that no one has left since. In my 20 years of life, I have never witnessed our valley in distress. Our valley has always been peaceful, happy, and a strong community of unity, and now my heart had felt something foreign for the first time watching my valley fall apart.
