| 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: |

Seel frowned at the edge of the lake; he knew theere were caves underneath Richmon Lake, but couldn't reach them. Breathe underwater wasn't one of his available spells, so he was stuck up here. He put a hand in the water and splashed, thinking about how he could get underneath. |

Dei swam as fast as she could, her fins flashing in the blue-green light, building up speed, faster, faster, until she broke the surface. She flew through the air and gracefully flipped into the waterfall, seeing a man in black robes sitting by the waters edge from the corner of her eye. she slipped from beneath the pounding water of the falls and darted to the side of the lake, rising slowly so as not to startle him. She was slightly put-off to see the disgruntled expression etched on his face. "Why the long face,sir?" Dei said as she stretched luxoriously, her fins catching the rich evening light and distorting it into a rainbow of colors, and the tails of her dress gently slipping up her hips. |

Seele eyes her over and smiled. A water nmyph; the first he'd met. All the more reason to kill her... Damn it, go away! If you had stayed away from that temple I never would of been set free Go to hell I already am. That's enough. Seele blocked his shadow demon from his mind. "Oh, I was just wondering how I could get top the caves at the bottom. Would be interesting, but as I can't breath underwater..." He sighed again. |

" I'll take you, then." Dei looked him over, noticing the long, heavy black robes and wincing at how heavy they'd be. "But take off your clothes first." She giggled at the slightly shocked look that passed over his face "Not all of them, silly, but I can't pull all those robes through the lake!" Dei clenched her teeth and balled up her fist, squinting with the effort of changing her fins. When the were finally seperated into slick, pinkish-purple legs, she slipped out of the water and onto the rocky bank. "Here, I'll help you if you can't undress yourself." She said half-jokingly, then pulled her thin, now slightly clingy green dress up to cover a little more. |

Seele smiled and pulled off his cloak. "I think I can manage." he set down the cloaked and put his hat on top of it, the pulled off his shirt. His back and part of his chest were marked with a large, plae scar in an intricate symbol. He looked at his scythe and shrugged, then laid it down by his shirt and cloak. He then pulled off his boots, leavind his sash and daggers on. "Well, I'm ready. But how exactly... do you carry me down there?" |

Dei just laughed and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the water. "Take a big breath, the caves are really deep." With that she pulled him under, spread her fins and kicked hard. The light quickly faded, a sign of just how quickly they were going. Just when the light had nearly run out, A dark, gaping hole loomed in a craggy wall ahead of them. Dei pulled Seele into it quickly, straining against the weight. They broke the surface with a splash, the water sloshing against the sides of the small, rocky entrance. Dei glanced at Seeles' slightly blue face and burst out laughing, the sound echoing around the empty cave and causing a downpour of icy cold raindrops. "Well, come on, then, you said you wanted to see the caves..." Dei called back as she lifted herself out of the water and started walking down a slick, mica-linede path. |

Seele took a couple deep breaths of air before replying. "yeah, that was just a bit... sudden..." He coughed and pulled himself out of the water, feeling the weight of his wet pants. he sighed and ran to catch up eith the water nymph. "Thanks a lot. The name's Seele." he held out a hand for her to shake in case she turned around. |

Dei grabbed the hand and gave it a quick shake, then leapt up into another passage, maybe eight feet off the ground of the first. "Come on, you're a guy, this should be easy!" She called down, then skipped down the passage a little ways. |

Seele grinned and lepy up, landing in a crouch on the upper passage. "That was easy, you're rgiht..." He grinned and straightened, looking around at the caverns. "Pretty place down here." He walked up to stand next to Dei, squezzing water out of his pants. |

Okay, then, this'll be no problem. It's a little cold, but..." And with that she jumped into a small stream running through the path ahead of her. She ducked under the water and into a small opening barely concealed by the rushing stream and dissapeared. Inside was an underwater river, with a few inches of stale, icy air above it. "Don't worry, you can still breath!!" She yelled as loud as she could, the soound carrying through the thin stone walls. Then Dei began to paddle a little downstream, where she could make sure Seele got through the icy outer stream's current. |

Seele shrugged and jumped in the water. The icy chill immediately took his breath away as the current rushed him off. He curled into a ball, making it through the small hole into the underwater river. "That was... interesting..." He swam over to where Dei was and smiled at her. "Where to next Miss Tour Guide?" |

"We swim!" Dei said happily, then added as an after thought, "but don't let the undercurrent pull your knives away. Or your pants!" and giggled. She then grabbed his hand and started kicking again, adding to the speed of the waters and figuring Seele could get his face up easily enough to breathe...and if not, oh well, just another wuss who didn't deserve to see it. They rushed on through the black waters and through the pitch-black tunnel. |

Seele raised an eyebrow at her last remark and muttered to himself. "You're more likely to lose your dress than me lose my pants..." He grinned. Every now and then he would surface for a quick breath; luckily he could hold ghis breath for a long time. He sped through the water after her, wondering where they were going. |

They had swum for so long that even Dei was starting to feel the cold, when they finally saw a small light coming through an opening ahead. Dei lifted her head above the water and waited for Seele to surface also. "You have to be quiet up ahead, or the roofs will cave in." Then she turned and streamlined her body, letting the water pull her through the gaping hole. She tumbled off a short cliff into a shallow pool of water, quickly followed by Seele. Dei looked around, glad to finally be able to show someone the work she and her lake had done. She waited for Seele to clear the water out of his eyes, then turned him to face the marvel. The two of them had fallen into a gigantic cavern, miles around and hundreds of yards across.Light danced along the walls, radiating from the far wall of the cavern.The only sound was a quiet trickling of water from the passage they had just exited. Most of the space was filled with a shallow pool of glittering water, with small pieces of ice floating along the surface and glittering silver sand underneath. But before you could take this in, your eyes were drawn to the crystal at the far side of the lake. The glimmering tower rose high above the lake, drawing your eyes into darkness and then out along the spiderweb of crystallyne threads theat lined the black abyss hanging over them. Upon closer inspection, you could see that the sand was actually crystal ground fine by the swirling waters near the banks. Dei turned and smiled at Seele. |

Seele looked around in amazement. "This cave..." He whispered softly, eyes takingin the beauty. "It's... amazing..." His golden eyes looked all around, seeming to take in everythng at once. Due to his curse, real beauty was something almost impossible for him to find. He bent down and ran a finger through the water, scooping up a small handful of bright crystals. He smiled and dropped them again. "Dei.. this is... just beautuful..." He turned to look at her, but suddenly stood still. This disgusts me... You! You stay away! Such beauty... must not survive! I won't let you out this time demon! Seele fell down backwards, making a small splash in the shallow water. The small crystals dug into hsi bare skin as he clutched his head, eyes riveted on the ceiling. He gasped for air, fighting for control of his own body. |
