Big Bad Evil Guy Origin Story
An adventurer is one battle away from completing his noble quest. He has faced many trials throughout an ancient temple. He enters what appears to be a sacred altar. There are magnificent statues of celestial beings on either side of a staircase leading to a pedestal in the centre of the room with a large regal tapestry on the back wall depicting a ritual sacrifice. An ancient tome and a skull are resting on top of the altar.

Ember's Requiem
Ember's consciousness wavered, caught between the ethereal beauty of the snowfall and her impending death. Dark, emerald eyes, hooded by crystallized lashes, blinked up at the languid dance of flurries. The woodland creatures, now displaced from their homes, fled in terror from the nearing, ravenous flames. Perhaps another human could have helped her. But Ember knew, as deep as the chill in her bones, that it was too late.

The Painter's Muse
The snow fell in delicate flakes, turning the world into a canvas of white. A lone girl sat by the frozen pond, eyes lost in the silent beauty surrounding her. A small smile graced her face as she dipped her paintbrush into the vibrant colours, a stark contrast against the white backdrop.

A Cat Called Chicken
It started when I brought this kitten home. I'm not a cat person, but I couldn't leave it there on the bus. It had hit the window awkwardly when the tramp woke with an unintelligible yell, pulled it out of an inside pocket, and tossed it aside.

Sledding
He dragged the saucer-shaped sled up hill that he used to run up as a child. The snow crunched beneath his boots as he walked, and his breath huffed out in little white clouds. His muscles and lungs ached, but he was determined to reach the top.

Frosted leaves crumbled and snapped underfoot as we picked our way down the bank towards the pond. Birds strode over the ice, sneering at our awkward gaits. I admired the sunlight pouring from over the trees in the distance.
