Safe And Sound
Just off the mainland, a small archipelago sat nestled into a calm nook of the ocean. The air was pleasant as it listed lazily through the towns and open fields. It was just cool enough to cut the edge of the summer sun, making working outside a pleasant experience, shiny skin and worn muscles were […]
What Is Useful, What Is Needed
On the edge of a small dirt town, a small boy stood staring into the back of a wandering cart that had made base just out of his little village. The man who owned the cart was bartering goods from it, selling off food, seeds, lines of cloth, and most importantly, books. After the hordes […]
Anderstine’s Forest
All through the Eterna-verse are Deities, worlds, stars, and things the mortal minds have yet to discover to be possibilities. On one small planet, in a deep seeded wood, hidden far away in a mountain range, a lone individual resided in a small cabin home. His hands were wrapped with bandages, and his face and […]
The Journey
Soft clouds drifted lazily across the blue sky, and tall mountains in the background cut shapes into the horizon with its dark stone and snowy peaks. A strong river flowed from melted snow at the base of the mountains, winding its way down and past a small country town that sat on an open plain. […]
Kindness Is Not Weakness
A small cart was pulled down an idyllic countryside road; the grass flats surrounding the cart were lush, vibrant, and spotted with flowers of all colors. The trees nearby bore fruit, adding a sweet scent to the air, and the distant hills added shape to the horizon, allowing for the golden rays of the morning […]
In The Jungle
Soft soil, humid air, and the sound of metallic armor filled the Eastern jungle. High above the ground in the thick of the branches, a single Denirog looked down at the human invaders. They leaned from their spot and gripped tightly against the bark of the tree; when they felt as if they were far […]
Think Harder
Deep into a cave system beneath the planet’s surface of Dolor, two individuals wandered by the soft, flickering, orange light of their lanterns. It cast shadows across the walls of the caves; they shifted as they moved between the tall stalagmites, ancient and strong with time. The pale stone was grey, layered, and woven with […]
An Old Friend
A silver-haired man shuffled through a forest, his pot belly hiding his toes from sight. He gripped a small thatched basket under his arm as he wandered aimlessly through the woods, admiring the small flowers that grew around the base of the trees. The flowers grew like colorful halos around the base of their trunks, […]
In The Sand
A man sat in a cave with a heavy beige jacket, pants, and boots. On his head was a wide-brimmed hat with a flap at the back to protect his neck; in his hands, an old tome, and behind him were three tall individuals, fully wrapped with bandage-sized cloth. The man ran his finger from […]
The Thrumming Mountains
A young woman ambled from the angled stones that towered into the sky, creating the eastern side of the Thrummed Mountains. Her clothes were torn, and she was covered in blood. Her short hair stuck to itself as the blood in it congealed under the relentless beating of the sun. She grabbed fistfuls of the […]
First Test
The scientist rushed through his lab with an armful of scrolls. He knocked everything that got in his way to the ground. Glass, metal, wood, anything that found itself too close to a surface edge came crashing down. The glass shattered, and still, the scientist ran on with haste; taking the scrolls in his arms, […]
Wasted Gifts
The town center was packed as the crowds gathered with malice suspended in the air. The humanoids of the town snarled and roared as the local bar owner knelt before them; a Mycre was curled up on the ground next to him, her body bloodied and broken. Her ears had been ripped off, and her […]
