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.

Zin caught the bread, and grinned slightly. "Thanks." She was about to ask what he had for food when the basalisk charged, and with a yelp she covered her eyes, making sure that the creature's gaze wouldn't end up killing her. "I...never knew that those...beasts...were still alive..." She shuddered, then sighed.

"Cheers." She nodded towards the vampire, keeping her eyes turned from the basalisk, and tore a chunk of the bread off, and ate.

Vincent sat down and put viscoxi onto the ground "there is an entire colonie of them living in the deepest parts of this cave. I sent viscoxi to go lure one here. It took him awhile though." vicnet smiled and pushed down onto the creatures nose. Vincent turned to the beast its eyes where closed, but its eyes shot around inside its sockets. He patted the crest of its brow and the eyes slowed slightly. "basislisk blood is very valuable... especialy to vampires. human blood gives the main nutrients we need ,but to gain power we need somthing stronger." Vincent climbed over to the beasts temple. He drew is sword of poison and stabbed right into the skull. The eyes stopped moving. Vincent climbed down to the beasts mouth a pulled it open. The teeth oozed with poison. then he stabbed up into the brain from the inside. Vin took a step back and let the jaw drop. "cant ever be too careful... perhaps you would like some meat to go with that bread.... but im not sure how edible basilisk meat is...."

"A whole colony?" The half-elf shuddered. "Hate to run into any of them. Poisonous and deadly to look in the eye..." Her eyes opened and she watched as he finished off the basalisk. "So magical beings give you extra power then...like dragons and celestials and demons? And Viscoxi is...that bat then."

She grinned, and walked over, sitting down to stare at the bat. "Strange little thing...Sure, it could be dangerous to eat...but I should know a spell that might work to stop the poison, if it's in the flesh."

vincent nodded his head "yup unicorns, dragons, ect. Of corse a basilisk has magical powers that require blood so healthy they could be mistakin for a magic made liquid. Makes it better." Vin began to cut his way through a layer of skales around the side of the neck with his sword. "me and viscoxi have been partners for as long as i can remember. He even came back to me after i was buried alive by a preistess." vin pulled off the layer of scales and began to cut into the soft skin. Once vin had carved out a large square, he pryed it out with his sword. Beneath the skin was a pouch that seemed to be filled with a boiling puss. "the posion sac...."

Zin shuddered as she craned her neck to see. She sighed as she realized that this would not be easy to accomplish, and stood after putting the bread into her pack-a tattered thing that had managed to get through the storm without being filled with sand. She gagged as she looked at the basalisks' sac of poison. "Disgusting!" She paused, then laughed, snatching a dagger from her boot. "D'you mind if I try to cut it open?"

She didn't wait for an answer, carefully peeling away scales, starting from the area that Vincent had uncovered. "So why'd the priestess bury you? You don't seem that bad, despite being a vampire, and it's not like you can help being what you are after all."

Vincent slightly grinned at her question "no not at .... all" he muttered as she began to cut it. "just make sure you make sure a bit stays in, i need to collect some" vin put his sword away.

At the end of the next question vin smil faded into a frown. Vincent turned around and walked back a few steps. "i dont really want to talk about it..." vin said. Obvously she had never heard of vincent the tirent before. He had litterally wiped out three villages, one castle and, two small clans. He didnt want to lose his new companions trust. Vincent watched as zin cut into the soft flesh. Then vincents eyes shot up "NO! DONT TOUCH THAT!!" as zin irritated a small purple gland around the bordes of the cut. All of the sudden a horrible smell shot though the air. The death gland. Every basislisk had one. Vincent had my sure to cut the connection between it and the basilisk befor it died.

A loud roar came from the back of the cave, followed by another and another. "umm... yeah... the colonie just woke up..."

Zin literally jumped at the vampires' sudden yell. "Don't touch w-Oh gods!" She clamped a hand over her mouth as the smell crashed into her, and her eyes watered. "What is th...oh...joy..." She shuddered. "Well...they didn't seem that tough...one at a time...unless you're just incredibly strong."

She snapped her dagger back to its' place on her belt, and unsheathed her own blade, a katana. "...not dangerous at all..." She was twitching slightly, and looking more than a little scared at the prospect of facing down several basalisks...

"Uh...how many did you say there were...to make up this...colony?" Her voice was at a strange high pitch now, an annoying squeak.

Strange to be afraid of a basilisk, and not a vampire...

Vincent raised his sword with his right, holding his nose with his left "well a basilisk colonie usualy consists of a alpha, the alpha's mate, a number of alpha's children, their' children, and an elder. A basilisk usualy lays about ten eggs in its life time, but usualy only three lives past the age of thirteen. Id say..... around fifteen." vincent didnt like these odds. When facing multiple opponents he usualy ended up flying through a wall. "did i mention the one i killed was only a child?" vin yelled over the growing roars and foot steps. Vincent looked into the darkness, the faint shapes of the gigantic beasts grew larger. "id saw we have a few choices. try and out run them, mind you when they burrow they are extramly fast. Fight and get eatin. or fight, kill a few, then get eatin. Your choice." vincent forced a smile.

"...a baby..." Zin paled as she watched the basalisks approach, skin slowly turning pale. "In that case...Running's good. Very good idea. Wings are good too."

She shoved her weapon back into its' sheath, and, with forced laughter, started walking backwards. "How high can they jump? If it's fairly low I could try to turn into something with wings. A dragon maybe..." She grimaced suddenly. "It's still storming outside, isn't it? That...that's going to hurt..."

Her body was already changing shape, patches of scales appearing on her face and arms as she stepped backwards.

Vincent jumped toward viscoxi scooping him off the cealing. "Jump? well, at their basic speeds under the ground, they could probibly get like fifty feet into the air, but thats just an estimate" Vincent tossed viscoxi into the air, sending him into an immidiate soar. Vincent looked back at the corpse of the basilisk. He sighed "the things i do for my friends" vincent sprinted towards the corpse drawing out his dagger. He quickly began to cut around the pouch. He had to get this poison. The poison when mixed properly could be made into an elixer, one so powerful that it could cure a man turned to stone. Vincent continued to cut, as the horrible eyes of the basilisks began to appear behind him.

"Uh...I think they're coming...Coming now." She stopped, and shook her head. "Tug on my wing whenever you think it's a good time to leave, alright? Because I won't be looking with my eyes. Because I'm not going to have my eyes open, because I don't care to be killed by looking at something..."

She shut her eyes as the shapeshift spell finished, turning her into a fairly small black dragon. She was more than happy she still had her spells however, and concentrated, sending several bolts of dark energy towards the basilisks-hoping that at least one hit, to send a bolt of sharp pain through the monsters' body.

Vincent quickly struggled with the few remaining threads of the sack. "just a few more moments!" vincent growled listening to moans of pain coming from the ever growing shadows. VIncents sweat shot down his face like tears. "almost...... GO!!" vincent yelled as he ripped the last threads of the sack from the skin. Vincent might have well punched zins wing with the way he did it. Vin mulmbled a few words and his body molded itself into a small bat shape , the pouch closed tightly around its claws. vin shot into the air, beating his wings at high speeds, as the figures of the basilisks slowly emerged from the darkness.

Zin bit back a yelp, and spun, eyes opening as she raced towards the exit, wings pulled tight to her back so she could make it through the entrance. 'Runrunrunrunrun...' She scrabbled through the exit, scraping off several scales as she did so, and whimpered as she heard the slither of scales on stone coming closer quickly.
