《Written In Stone》Skylar ~ Chapter 10: how it all went wrong
Advertisement
As soon as the lights went out, Carson made a ball of fire in his hands, but seconds later it went out. Then the mage stepped in front of us wreathed in flames. “I knew you would find out eventually, I just wasn't certain when.” He said then he laughed and all the sudden there were three of him, then five, then there were ten of him. “How do we stop so many of them?” Taylor asked “we dont” says Carson “nine of them are fakes, so we just need to find the real one” I quickly took a stab at one and it went right through so I put a bubble of suffocation around it and it disappeared because fire can’t survive without air. Just as the mirage disappeared a great wall of fire bore down on us, suddenly we were surrounded by a wall of water and it evaporated the second the wall of fire touched it then a dome of stone surrounded us. Carson lit his hand on fire and pressed it against the wall of stone but nothing happened and I noticed I couldnt breath. “Carson stop, it's consuming the oxygen!” Then suddenly my powers took over and then I started to spin my hands around each other and then a tornado formed and then kale added some water and it was suddenly a hurricane. The dome around us shattered. Then we stood back to back with our weapons focused outward. Suddenly a hale of flaming arrows shot at us then Taylor put her hand out and made a stop motion then half of them fell to the ground. Then she made a motion like she was throwing a spear and they flew at the mage, and all of his mirages disappeared and two arrows hit the mage, one in the thigh, one went through his hand. I quickly put a bubble of suffocation and he passed out. Then we examined the room to find a sword, a bow, six fire stones and a spear.

We had just gotten up the stairs when we were rushed at by the guards, they had us surrounded but I made a flat hand and slammed it into the ground. A burst of air shot out of that spot knocking over the guards, we all had our weapons pointing at a guard when the queen came into the hallway and she shouted at the guard “you idiots they just captured the assassin, how dare you point your weapons at them!” she screamed Then tears started flowing down her cheeks “my husband was murdered and you want to kill the ones who caught the killer?” “sorry, my queen.” the captain of the guards said. “Um, no need to freak out but, the mage is starting to wake up.” Taylor said “Quick bring him to our magic resistant cell, and go add the stones they found to their staff.” Said Queen Diamond

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?

In the lands of magic and intrigue, the truth of their circumstance is malevolently more sinister than they can ever imagine. -- Update Schedule: I try to post 3x a week, with at least 10,000 words total for that given week. Update days vary, but I will post them once the chapters are ready (Most likely in an MWF schedule PDT).
8 127The Fall
Perhaps the most well known of all devils, demons, or fallen angels is the one known as Lucifer, Satan, the Father of Lies. The cultural influence of this figure throughout history is by no means small. Despite that, it wasn’t until the time of Milton’s classic – Paradise Lost – that we saw an attempt to portray a dramatized version of the events leading to this figure’s fall from grace and power. And while this is the case, Paradise Lost is not about Lucifer – though it goes into great detail about his potential musings. No, Paradise Lost was, and still is, about the fall of mankind. So, in light of this, and the feeling that the classical story deserved another telling, I present to you all The Fall – a story focused particularly on Lucifer’s fall from grace and his musings both before and after.
