Once an isolated and dying township, an influx of academics, adventurers and thrill seekers have made Scalvoris Town their home. From scholars' tea shops to a new satellite campus for Viden Academy, this is an exciting place to visit or make your home!

I don't undewstand what you mean, Kotton admitted, dropping his folded arms so they laid loosely at his sides. He had been studying this stranger of a woman and how she drew spectacular works of art. He had experienced an emotional mountain, up hill and down the same valley just...

His eyes gazed around the empty room. It was just him and his mother. He anticipated nothing and therefore received nothing other than a general understanding that what once was would inevitably be no longer. There was a steady and circular movement of things. Birth transcends...

There was a man sitting in a dark room. The only light source was of an ominous red glow. It came from the flame of a singular candle that wavered ever so slightly amidst a stagnant room. The only current of air flowing throughout the room was due to the man’s constant, slow...

Confidence was like beauty- it was held all in the eye of the beholder. Someone’s confidence could be simply asking to try a particular flavour of ice cream whilst another’s confidence could be asking a lovely lady out on a date. Someone’s confidence could be asking for a...

His hunger was insistent, but he was extremely happy to have found a place that would help quell the anger in his stomach. All he had to do was pull down on the handle of the front door of the restaurant, which he did. Lo and behold- he was immediately welcomed with an utterly...

After partaking in a special meditative technique called ‘mantra meditation’, he felt much calmer than he had upon walking into his house. His nose had stopped bleeding, his heart rate had slowed from its nasty quick pace brought on by anxiety, and whilst his head still...

It is as though I am a bird whose wings have been clipped, flayed from her body by dirty hands. I am sitting idly by and inspecting all those who can fly around me. I look at them with envy, but I can do nothing but watch, for I cannot fly. What is a bird’s purpose if she...

Sometimes it felt like Kotton had a case of ‘mind knives’. It was like his brain was being treated by being stabbed. One, two, three too many times. Whilst his mind was wounded, his heart persisted, but it would only allow him so much time. That’s what boredom felt like to him,...
Kasoria roved his eyes across the winding ivy and red tile roof and listened to the disorderly bustle coming from the open doors. Next to him, Fagan Manclin sighed and pinched the bridge of his...
There was a lot of shuffling going on behind the door. It lasted for quite a wall. Kasoria frowned as he stood there, head slightly cocked as he listened. The feet of chairs scraping across wood. Quick, steady fwap-fwap-fwap of sheafs of paper and...

A young man’s eyes glazed over, multi-coloured irises churning in the heat of anticipation. A smirk had slid onto his lips subconsciously before it was wiped away with the back of his hand.
There were questions, far too many questions being asked of him. And even more questions...

It had been a few days- a few days that were measured in weeks or so it had felt to Kotton. He had expended an exorbitant amount of energy over the course of the last few days twiddling his thumbs and watching with an intense gaze at the practice of bartenders. He had come...

Death is inevitable and so are the maggots that creep from out of the woodwork to embellish themselves against the rot and decay. For many, death reaps frustration and causes those who become frustrated to feel like they are a pot of chili spurting with the declaration of being done...

Kotton knew very little about U’frek. He was hardly aware that he was an immortal who so vigorously respected navigation and… water? Kotton could understand the former, and he was always wishing to brush up on his desire to memorise and thus comprehend the placement of the...

Lightning crackled near and thunder spooked with even closer vicinity. It frightened the creature they rode and forced them to experience bucking, something Kotton had learnt from his acquaintance/aunt/family friend. But that could be looked at during a time that wasn’t...
After closing and locking the front door to his home, Kotton trekked across the outer portion of Scalvoris and traversed parallelly toward the stables he had spent hours talking to and learning from an artist who was masterful at drawing. With confidence, he marched right...

The young man redirected his attention back to his story. He brandished a charcoal stick instead of a quill since his inkwell was near to being empty and he presently had no finances to refill it. He moved his hand against the blank piece of paper available to him and listened...

It was a marvellous morning. The sun was at the cusp of transitioning into a majestic colour of ruby-maroon, if not slightly bordering on the line of lipstick red. He had seen so many lovely women wearing the exact shade but had unfortunately said nothing other than a soft...
Well, I can honestly say I never thought we'd be here.
Maxine sat in the pew in the center of the Glass Temple. Her arms were extended along the back of the seat in a familiar way as though she'd sat in its likeness once before...somewhere not of this plane. The...
Maxine rubbed at her hands. Her nerves were like wildfire in her veins. They had been since they arrived in Scalvoris, but worse now that she was standing across the street from this particular door. Her irritation grew. She had...

Kotton tousled his chestnut hair. A thin lock fell into his face. He pushed it aside with the nonchalance of having been stung by a bee. This fringe really needed to be trimmed. They annoyed him each and everyday he forgot to make an appointment.

Kotton was someone who easily learnt from his mistakes. It was a mixture of a multitude of things- his eagerness to make no similar error: he liked to make people happy, which bordered on the line into people pleasing with ignorant grandeur; he hated to be wrong, which was...
