Painted world 🌌
Once upon a time, in a sleepy village nestled at the edge of a dense forest, there lived a young artist named Maya. With a heart full of dreams and a magical talent for painting, Maya spent her days capturing the beauty of nature on canvas. One fateful afternoon, while exploring the depths of the forest, Maya stumbled upon a forgotten, dilapidated art studio. Inside, she discovered an ancient paintbrush covered in shimmering dust. Intrigued by its mysterious allure, she took it with her, unaware of the extraordinary power it held. That night, eager to explore her new found mystery brush, Maya dipped the brush into a palette of vibrant colors, something extraordinary happened. With each stroke, her painting came alive, as if infused with a living spirit. A magnificent landscape emerged from the canvas, inviting her to step into a world beyond her wildest imagination—the Painted World. With wide-eyed wonder, Maya stepped into the portal, finding herself surrounded by the very scenes she had painted. The air crackled with magic as sentient trees whispered secrets and animals conversed in melodic voices. It was a realm where imagination and reality intertwined. Maya's talent quickly drew the attention of the Painted World's inhabitants. She became friends with Arlo, a mischievous wolf with gray-colored fur, and Luna, a wise owl with deep, knowing eyes. Together, they embarked on a grand adventure, exploring the vibrant landscapes and encountering fantastical creatures that had sprung to life from Maya's paintings. However, not everything was idyllic in the Painted World. Maya soon discovered that an ancient darkness threatened to consume the realm; (a magnificent beast named Argoth with scales that glistened like emeralds and wings that spanned the sky) draining it of its magic and plunging it into eternal gloom. The vibrant colors were fading, and the inhabitants were losing their essence. Determined to save the Painted World, Maya and her newfound companions set off on a perilous quest. Guided by her artistic intuition and the brush's enchanting whispers, they journeyed through breathtaking landscapes, facing formidable challenges and encountering eccentric characters along the way. As they ventured deeper into the realm, Maya realized that her art had the power to restore balance and defeat the darkness. With every stroke of her brush, she infused life, hope, and color back into the fading world. Each painting became a beacon of light, pushing back the encroaching shadows. Through unwavering determination, friendship, and the limitless power of creativity, Maya and her companions eventually confronted the source of the darkness—a malevolent entity that sought to extinguish the Painted World's magic forever. In a climactic battle, Maya channeled the full force of her artistic prowess, unleashing a cascade of vibrant hues that overwhelmed the darkness. The Painted World erupted in a symphony of colors and jubilant celebration as its magic was restored. With the realm saved and the darkness banished, Maya bid farewell to her extraordinary friends, knowing that her art had left an indelible mark on the Painted World and its inhabitants. She returned home, forever changed by the journey, but with a renewed passion for her craft. From that day forward, Maya's paintings exuded a special kind of magic—a glimpse of the wondrous world she had discovered. Her art inspired others to embrace their creativity, reminding them that within the brush strokes of a single painting, an entire universe can come alive, waiting to be explored by those with the courage to believe in the power of their imagination (However the beast, was not giving up yet, after he was banished; Argoth, filled with fury and resentment, despised the Painted World for stripping him of his freedom. Alone and imprisoned, he grew increasingly annoyed by his solitude and vowed to seek revenge upon those who had banished him. But Argoth knew he couldn't accomplish his revenge alone.He needed allies, powerful beings who would stand by his side and help him unleash his fur Driven by his desperation, Argoth set out on a perilous journey across the vast realms, in search of individuals who shared his hatred for the Painted World. He ventured through enchanted forests, treacherous mountains, and even into the depths of dark dungeons. Along the way, he encountered many creatures, but most either feared him or were wary of his intention However, Argoth's relentless pursuit eventually led him to an ancient cave nestled deep within a forbidding mountain range. Legends spoke of this cave, known as the Abyssal Den, as a place where creatures of immense power gathered in secrecy. It was said that only those with a burning desire for vengeance could find their way to this hidden sanctuar As Argoth entered the Abyssal Den, he was met with a chilling darkness that enveloped his being. Within the shadows, he discerned glowing eyes of various colors, reflecting the anger and pain that matched his own. These were the outcasts, the forgotten ones, who, like Argoth, had been shunned by their own realm Argoth approached the leader of this gathering, a towering figure named Malakar, whose fiery gaze held the power to ignite the world. In a voice as deep as the abyss, Argoth pleaded for their aid, explaining his story of banishment and the seething desire for revenge Malakar listened intently, his eyes narrowing in understanding. He recognized the same raw fury within Argoth that had once consumed him. With a measured nod, Malakar declared, "We are the forsaken, the broken. Together, we shall unleash our vengeance upon those who have wronged us From that day forward, Argoth found himself surrounded by an assembly of formidable allies. Each member of the Abyssal Den possessed unique abilities and a burning desire for retribution. For a decade they trained relentlessly, honing their skills, and devising a meticulous plan to infiltrate and invade the Painted World, wreak havoc upon Maya and the mystery brush!

Of Maro, Telingo, and Suyng
Another tale I wrote years ago, oft reposted on my blog sites, of a land not far enough away... Far away, beyond the Sea of Colours whose tides glow with rainbows from the glowing jewels of its deeps, past the Reef of Shooting Stars and its silver spoors that soar into the sky and burst with sparks of blue and violet lightning. East of the great Empire of Tessarna, where the dweomercraefters of the Chega-toleh guild make their crystalline dreamholders to snare fantasies great and small. Even beyond the Shattered Horizon where the Godstrife tore the world open to the Land of Dreams where words become real, lay the shimmering minarets of the city-states of Maro, Telingo, and Suyng.
