Kotton didn’t understand how these woods could be so dense with smog. He was swimming, not walking, through the thick of it. In addition to these newfound swimming techniques, he was forced to clear his throat from the onset of phlegm building up due to all the moisture. He...

Trying to sprint through a tunnel where the walls were spikes of metal- responsibility- forcing him to divert his attention from what he had originally assumed was most essential. It was all so challenging. The spikes were a representation of the myriad of responsibilities...

Dark music sounded in his head Just because he was deaf didn’t mean Kotton could mentally construct what music sounded like. And it sounded a little like this: beat after beat followed by a deep, dark snare drum; in addition, there was also an even deeper beat that put his...

“I have come here to possess you. I am you.”

“Thank the gods. If you want to take over, that would be great.”

The ghost hesitated. Its transparent eyebrows drew downwards into a look of utter bewilderment. It made a tell of looking to the side for guidance before returning to...

“Have you ever had a dream that felt so real that you spent another dream adjacent to it logically contemplating whether the previous dream was real or not?”

Kotton once had a dream where he was at a carnival. It was some Vhalar pumpkin patch kind of deal. He was in a wagon with...

“You don’t know who you are?”

Kotton stared at what appeared to be himself. “Of course I do. I am me,” he said, tilting his head with suspicion.

“But you know me, right?”

Kotton scoffed, not understanding how all of the sudden he was having a very animated disagreement...

Woe stood still for a moment, in the vastness that was Emea, within the more confined geometries that corralled off his own dreamscape. While he slept, and recovered his health in Idalos, he wandered lucid through the halls of his own dreamscape, the branching corridors that split off from the...

The floor was most definitely lava and not in the playful sense. No one was screaming to ‘jump to a higher level!’ or ‘quick! the floor is becoming hot!’. No, this was the real thing, and the tenacity of the flames burnt Kotton’s face without mercy.

There was this game he...

82nd of Ymiden 722

As he entered his dreamscape, Woe didn’t waste much time. In truth, he didn’t know how long he had, before an alarm awoke him or before Kandor decided he wasn’t worth the company and decided to execute him in his...

Under the hot sun

In Illuvia’s dream she found herself in a sort of training grounds where lots of people were practicing against test dummies that seemed to have lives of their own. They’d move, use weaponry, etc. It was quite a strange sight to see. But alas Illuvia was in a dream so it...

Bloodshed and Nightmares

Illuvia's nightmare began with a deafening roar as the sky turned crimson, casting an eerie glow over her once-familiar city. Thick, black smoke billowed from the burning buildings, painting the air with a suffocating haze. The acrid scent of charred wood filled her...

105th of Vhalar 722

It was the 100th of Vhalar when the Wallace family were busy on their large, sea-going raft. Actually it was more like a house on a raft. With a large, water-tight area to keep it afloat on all sides, and withstand the waves of the seas as...

Do you want to practice for our concert now?

Seira looked up from her book when she heard her sister's question. They were giving another concert in a few trials, so it seemed like a good idea to get as much practice in before the event as they could.

Yes. she responded...

52nd Day of Ymiden 722

Leander was walking along a path.

To the left of this path was a forest, deep and heavy, almost claustrophobic and oppressive in nature. Overwhelming in darkness, which was saying something because the darkness of the night was surrounding him. The problem was no...

4th Trial of Ashan, 723

The clouds were drawing in, slowly hiding the sun from view. Which was a shame - it was Leanders most favourite thing about Rharne, when he had to remind himself about the benefits of staying in this city instead of returning to Viden. There were other reasons, of...

Farther away from the inverted Oubliette of Woe's innermost dream world, Woe came upon vast expanses of wilderness. They resembled nothing in particular. The Forests and hills outside of Andaris, the...

60 Ymiden 720

Balthazar thought it would be amusing and a little less dangerous for Woe and himself to practice their swordplay in a little less hazardous environment given the beginning of the battle with the Creep so he ultimately decided to postpone their final duel until the night. They had...

Woe slept in the house of Navnea Utojesk and her sons, and as he did so he dreamt. As he dreamt, he willed himself to assume lucidity and so resumed the role of the strange child, Steven. He awoke in that...
