Among uncountable problems they’ve caused, that have eventualy led to the Great Exodus, was the matter of everpresent trash. Bilions of tons of garbage...

I was awoken by a strong, sturdy shake and shouting. I opened my eyes to see Jon standing over me, backpacks in hand as he kept shaking me.

“LEO WAKE UP, WE GOTTA MOVE!” He said frantically before confirming I was awake and moving to grab more supplies.

I hurriedly got up and began rolling my sleeping bag up and attaching it to my already overflowing pack. I was more than prepared to leave on a...

In a world of knights and monsters divided by the south and north poles of magnets, there was a noble knight whose name rang to every rim of the land, honored for his decorum throughout his life. Amnon of Amouros—they chanted his name so gallantly.

The old dragon lay in his cave far away from human and elven eyes. His body rose and fell as he struggled breathing. His look was quite terrifying no thanks to wars in the past. He has an ugly scar that ran from the bridge of his snout all the way down to his scaly chin. His vision in his eye wasn’t as good as it used to be, and his wings were tattered and shredded.
