| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

"I am an excellent shot as well! But I think we can walk from here. I have never flown before and I think it would make me queasy." Just thinking about it raised little bumps on her arms. She was not exactly afraid of heights more like not being in control. How could she allow this man to pick her up and soar her through the sky? She did not see how it would be possible. Yes, she was little but not baby sized. He seemed to be just a skinny as her and she figured it might make her waver all over the place. Ah no, she could not trust that means of transport. "Here, it is just a little while away. We can scrubs some of this dust, dirt, and sweat from our faces. It will refresh us." She began walking, hoping he would follow. Almost immediately she spotted a squirrel and without asking Tand, she quietly pulled out her bow and an arrow. Taking aim, she waited for a few moments to align herself with her target. Releasing the bow, it flew straight and true. It pierced the little creatures head. She did not wish to have arrow anywhere else and she liked to roast the heart. It was said to be good luck to eat the heart of your kill. She wondered what that would be like if your kill was a man. "Ah, see. I have skills after all." She grinned at him and ran over to the squirrel, taking out her arrow and replacing it. She replaced her bow as well and tied the dead squirrel to her belt. They would need a lot more if they were going to have a decent meal, but it was a start. Squirrels, rabbits, and even deer were common in these woods. But she did not want to have to take down such a large animal and waste it. |

Tand shrugged at the thought of wiping the sweat and dirt from his face, he had been used to living in the desert, he would simply feel different, not better but not worse. He followed her for a while and took out his own bow, he looked to see a squirrel and to see Pandora drawing her bow and taking aim, he counted off how many times he could have killed the wee beasty, three times he could have killed it before she took her shot, she wasn't shooting targets she was shooting a living creature, she needed more work. He shrugged, "Yer alright, but this isn't target practice, ya take tha' shot when ya have it, sure, but ya don't wait all day ta' get it, don't force yer aim, don't think about yer aim, jus' feel." He saw two bunnies come running past. He didn't even need time to aim the shots, he drew an arrow and fired it, skewering the beast in the head, quickly taking out another and doing the same, he had barely even looked at the rabbits before slaying them. He turned to her, "Not bad eh?" |

She listened to him chiding her. She thought she had done pretty well but apparently nothing was ever perfect for Tand. He shot the two bunnies and they had plenty to eat. "Yes of course you're an excellent shot! You've had many years to perfect it. I have only had a few. But I will heed your lessons." She continued walking towards the stream and finally she reached it. Just looking at it brought back memories and she knew she would relish the feeling of the cold water on her face. It was so hot out to her. It was the perfect thing to cool her down. And to cool her temper. She was having trouble with that as well. She sauntered to the stream and got on her knees. She put her bow to the ground beside her. She looked at her reflection for a little while. She looked like a poorly person, covered in dirt. Her riding dress was ruined. She put both hands in the cool stream and washed them off. Then she splashed her face. She smiled as the cool, comforting water hit her hot, dirty face. It felt heavenly. "Now this feels great!" |

Tand smirked slightly, he had learned about archery when he was young, he had just recently gotten back to his peak, though he probably shouldn't tell the girl he had only started up using archery constantly again in the last year. He took the rabbits and followed the girl to the river, as she went to the river Tand took out a small skinning knife, useless in combat but useful for skinning and gutting animals. Tand didn't watch her as he skinned the critters and gutted them, he turned to her when she spoke, "It's good yer enjoying yerself, I'll gut tha' rabbits and prepare'm if ya could gather some sticks once yer done I'd be grateful." He concentrated on taking out the guts and bones in the rabbit, once Pandora returns he would turn the larger sticks into skewers and cook the meat on them over the fire. He knew how long to cook it from hunting wild hares in the mountains with the dwarves, he would light living branches on fire to create a thick smoke to give flavor to the rabbit meat, it would only take time and little effort. |

"Of course I will. Thank you." She walked away looking for dry sticks to gather. It wasn't hard and after awhile she had a whole pile. While she was walking back, she saw a young woman running. She was yelling something, but Pandora couldn't hear what. She dropped the sticks and hide behind a tree. Soon, there came several men running after her. They seemed very intent on catching her. Pandora wondered what she'd done to deserve such a thing. Then she looked at the woman's hands. They were covered in blood. It made Pandora shiver to see. She made sure they couldn't see her because she wanted no part of it. When they had passed, Pandora let out the breath she didn't realize she was holding. She went to gather back up the sticks she'd dropped. Walking back to the camp, she thought upon what she'd seen. She was truly curious as to what had happened and wondered if she could convince Tand to go into the town with her to find out. But then she thought it might not be a good idea to mention what she'd seen. Perhaps Tand would have a way to ask without being too noticeable. She arrived at the stream and dropped the sticks nearby. "You would not believe what I saw! A woman, being chased by a group of men in the woods! She was covered in blood. I think she murdered someone! Of course I hid so as not to be thought part of it. I was curious as to what happened though and I still am. Maybe when we're done here, we can find out? The town isn't far away and I could use some good gossip to bring back to my family." She beamed. Her family would love to hear a good story. She thought her activities of the day to be sufficient but this story would be even better! |

Tand hummed to himself as he prepared the food, he would just need the sticks to create a fire and they would be eating well. He yawned as he waited for his companion, only for the scent of blood to invade the Jacobson organ in his mouth, it was a little ways away, but it wasn't coming closer, that meant probably a beast getting it's kill or an injured. He heard noise from the side and turned to Pandora... who told him exactly what he didn't want to hear, a woman being chased and she was treating it like it was none of her business, shameful. He gritted his teeth as he stood up, extending his wings to their full length as he reached for his bow. He glared at Pandora with a combination of shame and anger, "Or she could have been protectin' her family and killed one of 'em and now they're trackin' 'er down and will probably do unspeakable things ta' her... tha' fact that ya didn't help her makes me sick to my stomach... if ya want ta' reclaim yer right ta' be alive, I suggest ya try ta' track them down and get tha' story from the woman's and tha' men's mouths, I know I will be." He started to flap his wings, sending dirt over the food he just prepared as he slowly started to rise into the air, he looked down at her, "If yer not gonna go and find her, then never show yer face in front of me again... talking about life and death matters like it's not yer problem... despicable." He turned to fly west, tasting the air with his jacobson organ, he could still smell the blood, he headed towards it, hoping that Pandora would try to redeem herself. |
