I can't decline a dare. It's just not done. Not in my village. So when they dare me, I say yes. That's why I'm here now, hiding in a chest surrounded by a green dragon's #hoard. Not to mention the dragon itself asleep just five feet away.
quit hoarding all the pretty, you bitch! I'm the one who writes the music, the ones who deserves to be beautiful you sit there doing absolutely nothing yet you're the one who wins everything money, fame, all the sex and romance and here I sit, alone, the magical one the invisible, indispensable one, but... at least I'm not being used for my looks
Quit hoarding all the pretty, you bitch! 🤣

It was a haunted river my uncle told me. The river, in its moonlit secrecy, would hoard the reflections of those lost to drowning, keeping their faces shimmering just below the surface like half‑remembered blessings.

“Yeah!” Antin added. “Or else they will lead us to literal oblivion!” Zhe’ra turned to look at her great grandson. “Bill, when you and Ar’Thyl were underground, you said you encountered someone there that helped you?” Bill nodded. She turned to Antin. “And when I read your retelling of your time in Boulder – you, and Nyx – a village I recall hearing of in my youth, by the way – you said some kind of serpent creature tried to help you? Could they be the same creatures?” Bill shook his head. “The ones I thought I saw looked like people, but something about them seemed different,” And I was asleep, strangely so, unaware of anything happening. But someone had brought sustenance to my Aludim in the night. Ar’Thyl sent a memory to Zhe’ra and Georgios, of them waking up to find a plate of sandwiches. Tannamir bent to meet their eyes. Now dear Aludim, lest their family think we are hoarding their kin, we should take a break to rest before the feast tonight. “Feast?” Bill asked. “Yes, good idea Tannamir!” Georgios said. “To celebrate your return to us, and that your mother had agreed to become our resident medical practitioner! We’ve invited Rebecca and Toby to join us in the tower dining area in an hour. Dofhâwr is upstairs setting up as we speak.” Me and Nyx will do a patrol around the island. Ar’Thyl said. Bill got the impression his beloved Aludim wanted him to spend time alone with Antin… “Let’s hope you disappearing will be the worst thing this summer.” Antin said. “Though I suppose something will surpass it before the war is done.” Bill followed Antin out of the main chamber “I know, right! But I’m not sure what’s worse – facing another seething Dreth – or facing another sourly military officer.” “No, let's not repeat of that either!” Antin flapped down into one of the couches in the outer hallway. Bill sat down next to him, “I fear we will, though. Face both. I hope the others return before the ambassadors start showing up though.” “Why? You handled t…

Resources? I see a wannabe dynasty will try to hoard.
But courses? well, it seems reality has plenty so welcome aboard..
..or welcome to class; homework due, the final submission?
It's rejected, I know that brick wall wasn't the mission.

It greeted me every morning after it followed my sister home one day. That #goose preferred her over me from that first day until the day the two disappeared. Maybe that preference was a sign? Maybe I should have worried. I've lost my world and a silly goose.
The goose appeared at the door before dawn. The visitor swore the goose had spoken, only a single swear word, but the child beside him nodded, as though this were nothing unusual. The goose was renowned in the village for its bad temperament and apparently swearing was not unusual for it.

“Not to be the token goose,” Antin said. “But isn’t that like describing the Dreth? Every time we’ve fought them, they seem to come back even more conniving.” Georgios sighed, “there seems truth to both statements. Humanity has grown back every time we’ve been beaten back, but the Dreth have survived literal hell, and grown stronger for it.” “Well, this won’t be humanity’s final submission. Even in my time we knew time moves in ages that come and pass, and come again. Not literally, of course, but our knowledge and our connection to Light and Darkness grow and wanes. We learn, we forget, and relearn again.” Zhe’ra paused to look at the younglings. “And let me assure you, no matter how dreary it looks, there will always be another chance.” After a brief silence, Bill asked the obvious question: “So how can we protect the planet from itself?” Georgios looked as lost as Bill and Antin, but after a glance at his Aludim he continued. “What Zhe’ra says rings true. But she also revealed the answer, maybe without knowing it. We need to enlighten people, bring the Light back into each one willing to let it speak to them.” “That sounds awfully like a religion,” Antin said. “Where I’m from religions bring strife and despair while preaching the truth of a god.” “The Light isn’t a god. It just is.” Georgios regaled. “Equal and opposite to Darkness it is a force of all that is growth, creation, and progress. By connecting to a thinking being – one who has a soul – something remarkable happens. A kind of cosmic consciousness emerges. Not a being of its own, but an exchange between the Light and the soul.” He looked at the three of them. “In my time we called it the creator and the dark one, but I see those are just names for the same thing. The creator wasn’t a god. It didn’t dictate or demand. It just was the start and upkeeps of reality. A reality the dark one wanted to destroy.” “As an opposite force, Darkness uncreates. Destroys, decays.” Georgios said. “Those corrup…

long ago Ulex burned
beach town went up in flames
life remains, gorse does not

The #gorse adds such color to the wedding that it is declared a very good choice by all in attendance. The purple accents are intelligently placed and the flowers highlight them perfectly. It is a wedding rich in all things, one tying together two families.
Piercing beauty
in perpetual
bloom—
kissing in
the moorland
grasses,
to the scent
of sea-salt winds,
of heather and
pollen drifting
in the sunshine.
Gnarled
gorse arms
intimate
among ankles—
blood
anoints
the ground.

The #porous rocks filtered out some of the impurities so that the bathing pool itself wouldn't make those enjoying its waters filthier than they already were. It was therapeutic and relaxing to exit cleaner than when entering. It lent well to the advertising.

So far my output is #mild. I'm working hard to rise to medium level. That next step, next choice, is the leap to more options of what and where in my final placement. I'm struggling longer than anyone else in the history of the school. It reflects badly on me.

The gorse bloomed wild along the hillside, yellow as old joy, and just as fleeting. Even now, the scent of gorse in the wind could undo him, dragging memory behind it like a broken cart.

Fertile and porous,
The soil around the gorse was
Rich in minerals.

“The world has changed since you were young, that’s for sure. Maybe I could recommend some books or websites to help you to catch up on?” Bill said, thinking the best thing they could be doing was to learn more about the different countries around the area. He knew Brazil was close, and Venezuela and Cuba, and Mexico, but he didn’t really know much about them. “Yeah, we don’t fight with swords anymore,” Antin chimed in. “I have been reading about the broad strokes of history,” Tannamir said. “The language is so different from when I was young. But the computers here can show me documents in my native language, which is wonderful.” Antin sighed. “Well, the world seems to consist of an absurd collective of leaders – playing dice with us regular folk.” “We’re not exactly regular folk anymore Antin.” Bill looked up where Ar’Thyl and Nyx were intently watching them, “No, I know. But unjust, patronizing leaders upset me, like that ship. They clearly thought they knew the truth. And used weapons to try to put us down.” Nyx hrmph’d. Aludim, we were great! We stopped the Shadow from influencing those people. You and Bill did that. You both proved yourself as capable of being true leaders in the future. Ar’Thyl added. Bill looked up. “I find it suspicious that you two are ganging up on us!”
We are not, Aludim! Ar’Thyl feigned innocence. We just think you two think too little of yourselves. And are slow. Nyx added, before he turned from view. “Oh, the warmth from our Aludims!” Antin said, looking at Nyx where he cowered behind Ar’Thyl. “What do you mean slow?” Tannamir watched the whole scene thoughtfully, but he slapped his stick three times on the floor. “We were here to discuss the attack. I think we’ve gotten out of task.” “Sorry, councillor.” Bill said. Nyx and Ar’Thyl straightened and Antin came up to the front with Bill again. “Ar’Thyl shared images of the event with us. Except for what I just witnessed here in this chamber, I agree with your Aludims assessment. You two have proved yourself capable of greatness, on par with the other young Aludim.” He looked up as Zhe’ra and Castor came in. Zhe’ra looked at the gathered Edroth and the three humans. “Humanity of this age is like a gorse. Pretty and full of thorns, clamoring to anything. But when beaten down, they come back stronger.” #VSSFantasy Dice #VSS365 Warmth #VSSDaily Document #VSSMagic Gorse #Emoetry Patronized #WIPSnips Recommend #WeirdMicro Absurd collective

The graveyard soil was porous, drinking the rain like a parched traveler, and he wondered if the dead ever minded being so easily reached. He supposed not. Certainly he has never heard any complaints.
