[quote][size=2]Magic runs through Crumpet’s veins, and while she dabbles in it from time to time, alchemy is where her true passion lies. To her, there is nothing more fascinating than changing the nature of one thing to another, and each new discovery fills her with satisfaction and joy. It is not unusual for Crumpet to flutter around her clan mates, telling them what she has discovered. Her frills work over-time, compensating for her monotone voice as she describes her latest endeavors. The dragons closest to her have gotten used to her exuberant nature, but those unfamiliar with the Fae tend to feel a little overwhelmed and confused. It’s no matter; Crumpet doesn’t let the confusion deter her. She simply moves on to newer discoveries, always excited to learn more.[/quote]
[quote][size=2]You step into the darkened room, blinking through the gloom. After your eyes adjust, you can make out a faint glow in the corner; on closer inspection, you see mushrooms scattered all around. They give off a soft light, blues and greens and purples. The fragrant scent of flowers is all around, floating in the air. “Sit,” a quiet voice intones, and you oblige.
You’ve come to this seedy corner of Wildgarde to see Elfa, who promises a prophecy just for you. Out of the corner of your eye you spot a flickering tail, recognizing Elfa’s mate, P?emsyl. He watched you with a mischievous grin. But a moment later your attention is back on Elfa.
“Let me tell you what your future holds,” Elfa says, a bit impatient – there’s a line of others behind you, all waiting to hear from the famed sibyl of Wildgarde. You lean in close to listen to what this oracle has to say about your future.[/quote]
[center][size=2][b]prose (~250 words)[/b][/center]
[quote][size=2]The lamps above flicker, casting dancing shadows across Sawyl’s icy hide. Elspeth flutters nearby, keeping close to his side. The Guardian keeps careful watch over her, saying little as they make their purposeful way down the streets of Wildgarde. These days, Sawyl can’t remember a time when he wasn’t with a charge. He and Elspeth are a good match, though, with him staying silent most of the time, and her with a voice that never changes. He is good for the streets of Wildgarde too, and a part of him enjoys the chaos of it all. Not many dragons give him a second look, for he leaves a chill in his wake that sends them shivering and scuttling to alleyways and homes.
Some of the clan have questioned why Sawyl would spend his time in Wildgarde, among questionable characters and dark dealings. In truth, Sawyl goes where Elspeth goes; she’s the true leader here. He doesn’t bother to ask her about her dealings in this city, both because he doesn’t want to know, and he is loyal to a fault. His charge is important to him, and he will follow wherever she goes.
Anyways, what does a dragon of his size and temperament have to fear? He can be fierce without saying a word. So he follows Elspeth on this dark night, through the broken streets of Wildgarde and into dealings best done in the dead of night.[/quote]

[quote][size=2]Golden spring sunlight filters through the windows, dust motes dancing in the breeze. There are murmurs, the creaking of wooden floorboards under paws and claws. A snake slithers among these patrons, all mottled scales and hissing help. There is an air of mystery in this old place, of welcome and warmth. Rare things that speak of far-away lands and histories held inside. At the center of it all is the one who smiles, the one who provides these wonders and curiosities. He gives those who have come far a piece of home, of childhood. Items they have never beheld before. What other trinkets can be found?[/quote]
[quote][size=2]A breeze carries lemons on it as broad, green leaves dance. The alluring scent swirls, mingling with steam rising from mugs clasped by claws and paws alike. Green and yellow shift among these patrons, smelling of citrus. Of crisp, clean linen hung on the lines outside (they too dance in the breeze, snapping and waving to passersby). This place Dreena has made is full of sunlight and fruit and oh, how bright it is! How absolutely welcoming! But ‘ware those of ill intent, of malice twisting their hearts. For though Dreena’s face wears the guise of politeness, her eyes see all, true cunning in that gaze.[/quote][/size]

[quote][center][size=2]his world is made up of
fractures.
it splinters and cracks around the edges,
code spilling out through the seams.
there is a whisper in his mind, which holds true to its shape.
[i]she[/i] is the origin of his lineage and from her
he sprung.
the power coils in him, wanting to be unleashed.
it is the anger that owns it, that controls it.
and when it spools out of his grasp,
the world turns into a kaleidoscope,
glitching.
shattering into a million shiny pieces.
at least his mind is intact.
at least his thoughts don’t fracture.
[i]but for how long?[/i] a voice in his mind whispers.

[center][size=2][b]30-line poem[/b][/center]
[quote][center][size=2]There is nothing but cold and ice.
It flows through his veins, an echo of a time before,
when the world held such promise.
Now, there is nothing to do but think. Remember.
And listen to the quiet sound of claws scraping
against stone.
They’re out there, he knows. Watching. Protecting.
Guarding.
Against him, and for him. Their hearts beat together,
two sides of the same coin. Their purpose eternal.
He was once like them, his heart entwined with another.
Born not of blood, but magic found a way.
They lived. They prospered.
And then –
Blood.
So much blood.
He fractured like the ice of his birth place.
Darkness came to him, whispering into his ear
infecting his thoughts.
He let it in. He listened. And it consumed him.
Now there is nothing but the labyrinth of his mind
and his temple.
Thoughts crumble like stone, his magic stolen,
his glowing eye a reminder of all he has lost.
He is alone.
He has lost everyone.
He wonders if there is hope for him,
or if the darkness will return.
He hopes for redemption.
He hopes to learn to live again.

his world is made up of
fractures.
it splinters and cracks around the edges,
code spilling out through the seams.
there is a whisper in his mind, which holds true to its shape.
she is the origin of his lineage and from her
he sprung.
the power coils in him, wanting to be unleashed.
it is the anger that owns it, that controls it.
and when it spools out of his grasp,
the world turns into a kaleidoscope,
glitching.
shattering into a million shiny pieces.
at least his mind is intact.
at least his thoughts don’t fracture.
but for how long? a voice in his mind whispers.
he doesn’t know.
