The Man flew.
The Man flew high, above the clouds, alone in the sky.
The Man flew high, amongst the birds, with friends in the sky.
The man flew high, like the heroes of ages past and to come, remembering in the sky.
The man flew high, and touched the stars. skipping above the sky.
The Man flew.
The man flew lower, past mighty mountains, their ridges framing the sky.
The man flew lower, threading through towers that stabbed against the sky
The man flew lower, floating over fields of flowering fruits, dancing with the sky.
The man flew lower, till he could touch the ground with the tips of his fingers, barely in the sky.
The man flew, till

4:09 PM, Roswell NM, July 8th 1947
Earlier today, one miss Elvira Clark called the local Fire Department, requesting help. She said her cat had gotten stuck up a tree in her backyard, and she couldn't get the poor thing down. The Fire department, having absolutely nothing better to do at the time, dispatched two trucks to Miss Clark’s residence. They arrived about 15 minutes later, to find to their surprise, the cat safely on the ground, the branch mysteriously splintered off near the tree. “Something just fell out of the sky!” the stunned Elvira said to the responders when questioned. “It
The next morning, Lucius awoke in the small room he had acquired in a nondescript inn in the countryside. Donning the new clothes he had also acquired, he went downstairs into the inn's smoky, dimly lit, main hall. walking up to the innkeeper, he asked for a small meal, a mug of ale, and for the innkeeper to keep the room vacant for him, while handing over a small pouch of coin. After eating, he left the inn, and mounted a nearby horse, returning to the Kingdom's capital city.
An hour or two later, as he rode through the city's gate he saw a poster with an crudely drawn image of himself with the words "WANTED! dead or alive! reward: 50,000 s
November 14th, 1941: I just arrived on Oahu today. I’ve been transferred to Pearl Harbor as a mechanic. The weather is beautiful here, I could really get used to this. I’ve been assigned quarters in Schofield Barracks.
Nov 19th, 1941: All these reports about the Japanese aggression in the far east are making me worried. Between them and Hitler, mark my words, this world will be in flames, and we’ll be lucky if we get out of it with our lives.

The commoner stared up at the Dictator’s governmental complex, towering up towards the sky, and the dictator’s statue in front of it. He wiped his brow, and carried the pack on his back into the ore plants, much like the other peasants around him. He threw his pack into the processing receptacle, then walked out, back into the street, to watch the dictators speech. As the dictator appeared on the podium outside his room, and began, a low rumble was heard. Smoke poured from the ore plant, then the dictator’s mighty tower fell. As the dust and smoke rose, the commoner, his plot completed, muttered under his breath, “Pow
...The letter mocked me. It sat on the page, asking to be expounded upon. So many ideas raced through my mind, so many possibilities presented themselves. Whole worlds unfolded before me, characters racing about in them, living their lives. There were so many options, I couldn’t simply choose one. Indecision tore at me as I glared at the page, and with a growl, I crumpled the page and threw it into the nearest waste receptacle.

“One little Bullet. That was all it took”. Owen Serath, member of the Olympian General Council thought to himself, as a furious debate raged in front of him. With the Langrith attack on the Elysian spaceport at Fortuna, the Elysian president, Fairfax Radburn, had nearly instantaneously declared war on the Langrith Empire. Now, two weeks later, an emergency meeting of the Ares Council, made up of the the members of the Elysian Senate who handled matters of warfare, had been called to judge whether this war was feasible, and to look at any other options on the table. “All this started.. simply because some nutjob shot a polit
An hour or two after the incident in the throne room, Lucius lay in his dark, dank, pit of a cell, eating Darkmyre's terrible attempt at food. As he finished the "meat" he saved one of the narrower bones.
Within an hour, Lucius had managed to whittle the bone into a knife, and attempted to pick the lock on his cell door. At first, the lock stubbornly refused to co-operate, nearly breaking the makeshift pick, but after an hour or two of poking in the keyhole, Lucius heard a small click. He pushed on the door, which without the lock restraining it, swung open freely. Without the door to blockade him, the only thing between Lucius, Son of Graf,

Legend of the Dragonslayer
Many ages ago, when the world was young, there was a vast kingdom ruled by a benevolent and kind ruler. The kingdom was prosperous and fair. Its people were healthy and long lived. The land grew ever more prosperous, until one day a terrible darkness crossed its eastern border. A black army, filled with Ghouls and Goblins and other ghastly things, swept across the land like a hurricane, destroying everything in its path. At the head of this dark legion was a dragon, its scales as black as the void, its fire as hot as the sun. Its power was terrible and fearful to behold, and none could resist its strength, nor pierce its armored hide.
