Elysian
November 10 5pm Adam settled into his cozy two-bedroom apartment and sat in front of his computer in frustration. He had been working on his newest novel for months, and he still had no first chapter. Tons of ideas flooded his mind, but he didn't know which ones to start with. His last three books were a breeze, but this new one was the hardest one yet. Staring at the blank word document, he sighed to himself before taking a sip from his coffee mug.

Monster World
I stood on the side of the road heading out of a small village called dunes burrow, awaiting my current client. She was a flaky air-headed woman but she seemed kind enough. Her position on the council elect gave her more than enough reason to hire me on her journey from Dukeswatch back to Mildura. She wasted so much time on the journey so far, that now she insisted we cross through Willfell forest instead of around. A dangerous trek even by myself. She seemed confident in my skills, but I was worried about the trials that lay ahead. I am a skilled tracker and I move swiftly through areas otherwise unreachable by other scouts. My ability to use the plants around me to my whim gives me a great advantage. But even so, Willfell forest is mountainous and filled with monsters. It is not a place one takes lightly. I stare intently at the edge of the forest where the light of the sun seems to vanish without a trace. The depths of the darkness, setting a stone deep in my stomach. I was not usually this un-easy before a job, however, something about this particular job made me feel incredibly un-nerved.

Jenny-one for Tennis?
The sun was high in the spare bedroom at Jenny’s house when slowly I awoke. The first thing I saw was her, and she made my heart flutter almost unbearably because she had her tennis whites on. She was already clean and showered, so that the smell of her was awesome. I was very embarrassed to be seen first thing in the morning when she was like that.

Sibling Rivalry
After a morning like that I was ready to jump at any chance to put some proper clothes on and get away at least for an hour or two. So, when Jenny’s little sister suddenly badly needed to go into town and there was no-one free to take her, I volunteered at once. For all the jokes about how I didn’t know what I was letting myself in for, I’d never been so glad! What was more, Jenny’s sister turned out to be a sweet little thing so that was one way in which there wasn’t a family resemblance. Wearing vivid red shorts with a bright blue pattern she would have been hard to miss, especially since everything else she had on was black!

The Blessed City
They rode for two days. Riding through the night and as far from Aaurn as the mountains could take them. Maleah did not miss a moment since they'd left. Basking in the horse-thrown winds and relishing in the crisp winter air. The exhilaration of feeling a large, breathing beast beat its hooves on the ground as it carried her towards a hopeful future. Even still, she could not ignore the undercurrent of fear the clutch to the edges of her sanity.

The Blessed City
Lord Brae waited for the Huntsman to return from his final assessment of the port. Their search of the island had proven fruitless and no man claimed to have seen or heard anything but the whispers beyond the village. If the Huntsman had not suggested they also speak to the King's Men at the port, they may have never made a disturbing revelation. Replaying the conversation in his head, Lord Brae contemplated his next move.
