Magnolia

I want to tell you a tale, not any old tale such as a happy go lucky princess nor a gruesome foul story... A tale which will be unbelievable beyond your ears, but don't let your mind fool you, let it be your guide. To where you ask!? Well where all your dreams and thoughts live, your imagination. This tale begins where the first flower grew, the magnolia flower and from this small delicate flower rose something, something very strange and mysterious, a fairy? no, this creature has no wings, A pixie? it doesn't have the ears, well what is it? A human almost like a tiny woman, her bright blue eyes and hair like the orange sky at sun set. It was

46 - Festival

Blue Jay didn’t know how to react when she first saw the Loremaster. She honestly didn’t know why he was here. She was on her way back from the Inn when she saw him. Yulgar had told her to take the day off so she did. “Hello? Who are you?” She just stared at him, confused. She was only 15 years old, focused only on trying to find a cure for her mother. “Blue Jay,” She replied simply. The Loremaster had decided to leave the safety of the Guardian Tower in Paxia because of a prophecy his oracle had said only a week before. He was told that the Chosen One would soon make an appearance in the world of Lore.

Zootopia Files: The Zootopia Horror.

Horatio Withers arrived at Cliffside Asylum. The horse scholar was laden with dozens of suitcases. The disgruntled professor entered the abandoned asylum. "Um... hello? Is anyone in here?" "Follow..." Said the voice of Dawn Bellwether. Horatio followed the voice, through the ruined corridors of the abandoned asylum. It took roughly an hour of walking, he found the passageway to the temple. He was terrified of the darkness down below, but he forged ahead until he caught up with the source of the voice. "Professor Withers." Dawn greeted. "Welcome to Zootopia... and the temple of Cthulu-" Dawn was interrupted as Horatio reacted to this site like an over-excited school girl. Several minutes passed as Horatio looked over the cyclopean architecture. "SWEAT AZATHOTH! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" "He certainly doesn't lack enthusiasm," Cthulu said within his totem. Horatio screamed with delight. "This is better than I could've dreamed! Cthulu himself!" Dawn grabbed Horatio by

Nuclear City

What has been happening in 1986? A new city in Kiev that it's future was to fix New burgs, academic schools and amusement parks Immediately was shot by a bullet of ashes of the dark. Restaurants and cafes with food's good smells and savours Had all been poisoned with green and brown flavours. The young urban name was Pripyat. Pripyat, the teenage city from 1970. Who was so young and was so peacefully decent, Who was imprecisely and awfully killed By the fourth Reaper of radiation thrill. The poor peace from the white sun Hasn't shone once, or more, like it's hung. In lieu are vague grass green and grey clouds. And the dangerous, everlasting beam of death From the four urban Reapers by breath. Isn't there a better idea? For poor Pripyat to be alive there? We must attack the four Reapers! For our home's sake and their keepers! For Pripyat. HAZEL DARKLEGS (17) (HAZEL KARABACAKLAR)

AONC 1 - Chapter One

Chapter One:    Aleta Green-Cove slammed her back painfully to a cold stone wall. She panted quietly, her right hand slipping something the size of her palm into her trouser pocket. As she caught her breath, options careered through her mind. The way out of this cave system was only a few turns ahead but if she made a dash for it now, she would be seen.   A shuddering, echoing roar burst through the gaping dark tunnel entrance in the wall beside her. The tunnels here were enormous and stretched for miles. But they would have to, Aleta thought grimly, to be the home of such a gigantic beast.   "At least ther

Salt

I sat in dark on the evenings passed and I watched as the torrents of rain fell to the the over-quenched ground. No longer was it parched or yearning for the liquid that gives life just as easily as it takes it away. Those drops now bounced off the breached banks of the rivers that once held its kindred in check. To those banks did I gaze when my heart had been torn from my sleeve and my chevrons tarnished by my failure to act. As those banks traveled farther and farther from their source, they grew closer to where I sat and so too did the lessons that drifted down river on those murky currents. From a raindrop to a teardrop, To a waterfa

Thoughts

Your touch is so soft and sweet and like an angel's skin it pulls me in. Laying there, my body against your chest, as I listen to your heart beat; God, I feel so blessed. Dear Lord, you put on this earth a boy that no one can afford, I never knew it could get so good, that someone this great could ever be real, but that's the way I feel. He puts me up with you, up in that place where he fixed my heart that I thought was beyond repair. Hold me tight and never let me depart for I gave you my whole heart; and when I'm in your arms it sets me free, when you pull me closer, and in so deep. For the times you run your fingers through my hair, y

Basilisk Voices

Do you still hear those voices that utter their unearthly language when the light has gone from your world; that take on a serpentine form to slither about the room and sully all things that glisten with their undying sense of vainglory; They ensnare you and entangle you with their words that tear you from any sense of solace. They overload the senses and parlyze the mind so that not a single gay thought is given a chance to take root and thrive. Instead those thoughts are swallowed whole by the basilisk voices that choke and snarl as they wolf down the last remaining severances of a liberated mind. Morphing in and out of solid existance

1940

There was still enough light from the raging fires outside to bless the alter where I waited with our rings, lilies-of-the-valley still braided into my hair. The priest rests in his Lord's embrace, garbed in crimson threads at the cathedral's gateway, Nazi bullets in his body and in his Bible. Our wedding banners are piles of chared ash blessed by the coming lightning war. The holy water has dried up, but my tears still have not. You said you'd come back, that you'd be mine, to have and to hold 'til the bitter flames of death should tear us apart. But never did I get to hold you again, to waltz with you in our first night of matrimony, to wa

If you dance with dragons... 6

The three were warned quickly enough to get everyone to relative safety, and whilst Nett and Harry organised the operation, Rowan acquired spears. Standing in front of the village, Rowan was torn between thanking the hilly landscape for the squat, stone built, secure, houses, and cursing it for hiding the approach of the dragon. He shifted from foot to foot, running situations through his head, and worrying about how much was reliant on chance, and the reactions of an unknown. If the dragon landed where he and Nett were standing, as they hoped, they would be in the open, which was an advantage to the bigger dragon, but the destruction of the

Daniel had made himself comfortable on the couch, while Mikiko tended to his wounds. Felius and Lilith had taken to sitting down at the kitchen table. Poki served them some chicken and dumplings. Lilith stared at Felius, who was just staring at his food. This was a pathetic sight to see. Then Felius picked up hi fork and started eating the food. Lilith's mouth dropped open. "I thought Vampires couldn't eat food." Lilith said. After swallowing what was in his mouth and wiping his mouth with his napkin, he looked at Lilith, "I am a special case. I can eat the food as long as there is no garlic on it. Actually all Vampires can do that. The onl

Miss Abigail ch 4

Max looks over to me and sees my terror but yet he is not afraid. As if holding an ace up his sleeve. He pulls me closer to him and whispers so that only I can hear what he's saying. "Is this true? Is your name really Abigail Schulle?" "Yes, but I never in a million years would commit treason, I would never betray you or the Crown of Kali. I only lied about my identity to save my life from the revolution in the southern kingdom. Max, I am so sorry." I tried to explain, tears already starting to fall to my cheeks. "It's alright Abbey." Max says and then kisses me on the cheek and takes a few steps from the alter, placing himself betwee

New Years Festival

New Years Festival I sit here high above, On the edge of this cliff. Looking down onto the town. Seeing how people celebrate this " joyous " time. Cans of energy drinks empty behind me . Radio playing softly of a mix tape I made once. Sweet and Soft.  Telling me how I'm alone right now, on the holiday to give promise on the new year, to give hope, and good feelings. I Greet it with sadness and lost for thats all I have. Falling back into the soft grass , looking up to the starful night. Gazing in awe. The moonlight lighting the woods beautifully.  Wind blowing slightly, hair fluttering back. Alone on a holiday ..I guess t

Necesidad - Need

La oscuridad de la noche cubría con complicidad el crimen. El silencio reinaba hegemónicamente, mientras el hombre caminaba a través del frío bosque. Sus manos, rojas por el gélido viento, se sentían ansiosas... expectantes. En su cara, adornada en su contorno por cortos pero abundantes vellos, no se percibía emoción alguna pero, al llegar a un pequeño claro una sonrisa apareció. Allí seguía ella, obedientemente. Sacó de su maleta una segueta. Mientras cortaba, no puedo evitar el llanto. "Su muerte me trae placeres y tristezas. Los gritos, la sangre, el calor del cuerpo y, final
