20 in 20 #2

Postby Kailani of Admin » Thu Jun 15, 2023 10:17 pm

An oldie, but goodie.

Who remembers the six sentence story?

Make it a good one.
Make it blue.
Make something
For me and...


The task: Using 6 sentences, write a brief story WITHOUT repeating any words. Contractions count in there so 'is' and 'isn't' are the same word. The judges will regard Valorn based stories with more favor.

This contest runs until Wednesday June 28, 11:59 pm (EST)
Prizes: Something new and different.

You may edit and make changes to your entry until the deadline

The judges aren't English teachers (thank goodness else I'd not be allowed to write a thing), but you still want to make 'sentence sense'. English of the semi-modern variety only please.

Please post your tales here!
One entry per player. Include the number of the character you would like to be considered the winner. (In the case of alts you'd rather not reveal or another individual you'd like to see given the prize if you win, enter here and pm me the character number to be so rewarded.)

The culmination.
Of all events.
At their conclusion.
Something known as ending.
They have in common.
Starting with a beginning.

Ten by two years of stories weaved.
Friends have come and gone.
New ones appearing.
A joy to experience this world: Valorn.
Our brightest future awaits.
Happy Twentieth Anniversary!

Stuck in this closet for so many cycles.
Whistling ditties to pass the time.
Mildew, musk, and stagnant water, gods please help.
Worst nap ever taken.
Greatest prank of all time?

Valorn, once ravaged by Balthazar's demons, now enjoys tenuous peace, without clear foe.
Adventurers traverse across dimensions, seeking purpose and thrill.
Hearts yearn for glory yet are wary of an uncertain future.
Dormant feelings from heroic quests stir, while fate remains tightly entwined with destiny's tapestry.
Amid a new era's whispers, hope blooms, beckoning valiant souls dreamingly etch their legends in history's tomes.
During this hushed interlude, as tranquility holds sway, everyone awaits the clarion call to embark upon another grand odyssey.

Distant, dazzling, elegant, kind
A soft sparkling jewel among many others that shine
Purple and black bunny ears stand tall
similarly fluffy tail can be seen when she walks ahead
Tunes quiet, yet sweet from her lips sometimes flow
Just little bits of the Lavender you know.

Living with memories of the past, some faded, others still crystal bright.
Looking ahead, wondering what is yet to come.
Anticipation, yes; trepidation, perhaps; fear – no, never.
Adventurers know events will be, are, then were.
Friendship also born, flourishes, maybe fades – but not forgotten.
Tides of our lives carrying us through good marcs and unfortunate turns, on into shining future cycles while Valorn stands free.

You were once so beautiful.
Alight with a faint glow now.
Twisting and turning around my finger.
I recall the lost radiance.
Many recount times lost.
Now covered in memories.

Down among webs the warrior sang. Guardians would appear. Excitedly she sent for enchanters; cheering them on, while instructing battle. Disappointment was shared by her when a dull fell. Yet quick was our Knight at gifting smiles to faces, with ales and tales for all. Whittling as stories were recited.

Canyon-caught creature, I dwell between light and shadow. Rifter's regard warms my skin while within writhes the gaunt ghosts of lost nights. Memories clamor for attention even as they wither. What remains? Constellations still kaleidescope across an ancient sky.

Seen it all, those stars, except stories yet unraveled, undiscovered by us all.
I long for the song of the morning, the dancing of shadows at dusk, and the silence that closes the night.
