Adventure

The Dragon Lost to the World
Ashes rained down from the red soaked sky. The Alpha star setting in the North while the Minor star rose in the South, both barely visible through the hazy pollution of Kronsphere. Trees still smoldering, crackle with new life, remnants of the fourth Great Burn.

Shadow & Scales
It was twilight in the forest of dragons. Time for Basal to hunt. The green dragon stretched his wings in the clearing. He looked back to see his mate Sylva, her wings sheltering three new hatchlings nuzzled up to her warm belly, bits of shell clinging to their lanky frames. Basal thrummed with pride and delight.

LORE'S PRIZED TREASURE
LORE’S PRIZED TREASURE: A SHORT STORY BY: NICOLE TORINO WAGNER Noa’s parents, King Archer and Queen Deann, weren’t like most. While other young were red in the cheeks from love pinches, or raspberry stains from their mothers lips, her’s spent lengthy time away in foreign lands or holding council. Noa didn’t understand any of those words, but she did know it was unfair. Why didn’t her mommy and daddy want to be with her? All she had was Lou, her nurse maid, who would often put Noa in solitude.

Oceanus
Kelp forests were normally too shallow for swimming dragons. But water rises and falls. On flood night Oceanus could swim above the towering vegetation, high enough that the barnacle-riddled leaves never brushed his scaly belly. When tides moved, so did underwater treasure.

In Counsel With Stars: Book 1
The noise that cracked through the dawn sky awakened the heart of the forest. For 400 years she’d slept, undisturbed—though not for lack of attempt to stir her. Tales of her slumber wafted through the ages like a sweet smell demanding to be tasted, and taste it is just what the nearing villagers did. Men and women, young and old, visited her secluded cave in the high mountains. Some came in large groves while others braved the beast as lone warriors, their sharpest sword prepared to slay the beast if she so much as stirred. After all, what joy can be had in a battle won where only one opponent is awake? But much to their dismay, she never awoke. The only sign that she had not died in her everlasting rest was the heavy breathing that shook the mountain to its core, sending boulders toppling down the sides occasionally killing unaware adventurers mid-quest.

The Journeyer and the Pilgrimage for the Origin of Magic
The Origin of the Void Half the city lay in waste, half the city breathed relief, and the woman gone wrong fled to the sky. Adrian mounted his dragon and they leapt into the air after her. The destruction to the shipyard was severe—probably her intent all along. Most of the entire port navy had been sunk, the few ships afloat were badly damaged, still burning or smoking. A mast with the blue and black Fellowship flag cracked and fell into the sea. Wounded and dead lined the shore and docks. The desperate call for “Healer!” sprouted up everywhere. The rest of the living residents had the same flabbergasted look on their faces, as if to ask—did this really happen? Half the city… gone.

The Last Leprechaun
CHAPTER 10 Hypathos quickly made his way to the River Lethe. Several weeks ago he had received reports of strange noises coming from the other side. When he went to investigate the first time, he had seen dozens of orcs lined up on the river’s edge throwing boulders into the river. At first, he was tempted to fly back to the city to warn the other fairies. And yet, when he thought of telling the Queen, he grew angry. For if she managed to prevent whatever the orcs were planning, she would rule for as long as she lived. That would mean hundreds, if not thousands of years of servitude under her for Hypathos. At that sickening thought, he decided to keep the orcs a secret and find a way to stop them himself.

Midnight Blood
A sharp, tearing, ringing sound sliced through her dreams. She shifted and huffed out air, hoping the sound would move on and leave her to rest. It didn’t. It lingered, rising and falling, shrill and earsplitting. She growled. How dare some obscene creature disturb her rest! Did it not know she had travelled far, that she was tired, and it was making her angry?

The Rogue Dragon
Stealing food from Cole’s kitchen will be simple. After all, I’ve been doing it ever since I learned how to steal. With Cole’s permission of course. When we were smaller, after a day of playing in the Forest of Shadows I would sneak into the kitchen while the cook was occupied and take tea cakes, scones, apples, sandwiches and bottles of milk. We would have a fine picnic in the woods by our Crystal pond and swim in the cold water to fight the summer heat.

I saw two people walking up to our camp , and of course the last two people to show up just had to be my best friends . Good thing I showed up pretty early , or our group would look bad . They arrived about 20 minutes before sun down . At least they weren’t late though , I relaxed a little . Seems to me that I woke them up at the right time . They seemed well rested and ready to go . Instinctively when they first came they started walking towards me but I pointed them in the direction of the check in guard .
