STORY STARTER
Submitted by Shadowdrake27
In a fantasy setting where elaborate proposals are a normal and expected part of society, write a story about the most anticipated proposal of the year.
Use the proposal to reveal information about the characters and the society as a whole.
An Adventuresome Proposal
It was the third full moon of the 17th year of King Solo’s reign, which meant today would be good.
After months of waiting, Freya’s proposal would finally be fulfilled.
“It’s hard to believe today is actually the day,” Sage said, hooking her arm through mine.
We walked together to the town circle, awaiting the magic to come. Other villagers stood around, conversing with each other.
Finally, Freya, with her fire-red hair, appeared before us all.
King Solo watched from above atop his giant dragon with anticipation.
“Greetings everyone, today is the day I gift you all a bit of magic!” She shouted with a smile.
Everyone cheered, smiles glowing on their faces.
Freya swirled her arms in a circular motion and then spread them out like the wings of a bird.
An array of sparkles erupted from her hands, casting the sky above a shimmery iridescent blue.
From the sky, magical dust inside small crystal bubbles fell slowly upon us.
I grabbed mine, enchanted by its beauty.
“The magic dust inside will grant you an adventure that your soul yearns for!” Freya instructed.
“An adventure…” I whispered.
This was one of the best proposals of history.
