TO BE CONTINUED...

Fazbear Entertainment decided that dividing the daycare in half still wasn't enough to occupy the immense space, so they created two more animatronics. at first, they tried to make an animatronic named Bloomy but decided that it didn't fit in well with the other daycare attendants, so they made Solar & Lunar Eclipses (aka Solar & Lunar or the Eclipses).

they assigned Lunar to a more playful and fun personality to entertain and stimulate the kids. meanwhile, they made Solar more aggressive, to help with keeping the kids in bed and help with the "naughty ones".

when Bloomy was put into storage, they put them right next to the daycare. after time Bloomy was able to power on and suffered from a glitch, a glitch called [REDACTED]. because Bloomy was so close to the daycare, they learned about everything they were meant to be, they became extremely jealous over time.

when Moon got his new body, he was made in the same room as Solar, and the mechanics started calling them brothers, & because the title stuck in Solar's memory, he still thinks of Moon as his older brother.

this is Sun, Moon, Solar, Lunar & Bloomy's Life in the Daycare!

(P.S. if this series becomes popular enough, I will make it into a full comic)

One day, Moon started acting... strange. He started hearing voices, telling him to do things he wouldn't do otherwise. Eventually, Sun started to realize that Moon was acting rather violently to the children sneaking out of bed. He tried to reason with Moon but he just wouldn't listen.

One day when one of the older kids snook out of bed, Moon acted a little more violent than he did with the other kids and he... well, that's why you can find an angry note about the daycare. Because of the... incident, the daycare was closed for about a month. It reopened the day after Gregory arrived at the Pizzaplex.

because Moon & Solar were made in the same room, the engineers called them brothers, even though Solar isn't Sun's brother. when Solar was released into the Daycare, his personality clashed with Moon's and they had many fights which led to his more aggressive personality. one day while Solar was cleaning, he heard a strange noise towards the back of the ball pit. he decided to ignore it and assumed it was a broom falling in the closet.

the programmer made a system that was supposed to resemble Moon's system before the glitch invaded his mind. Lunar was designed to be calm and soothing, he was designed to adapt to meet the children's needs. when he was released into Daycare, he had to spend a lot of time caring for the kids even during playtime because Sun had to stop Solar and Moon from fighting all the time. after a few months, lunar's adaptability made him act more child-like and soon Lunar calmed down almost every kid that came to the daycare.

This is the story of how I became the captain of the ship of shadows.

It all started when my older brother and I explored the woods behind my house. A little context about my brother - when I was about 3 or 4, my brother, Alex, was diagnosed with a disease the doctors couldn't identify. When my parents discovered it, they kept us both inside for 3 years. Eventually, when we finally were able to leave the house, we discovered that going to the woods pacified Alex's sickness.

so one day when Alex's 14 and I'm 12, we go out to the woods to find our old fort. Not much to our surprise, the fort didn't survive the storm. while I fixed the fort, Alex set out to find better (and sturdier) wood the repair it. After a few minutes, I finished as much as I could do and I started to head toward where I'd seen Alex leave when I heard him scream.

I ran toward the sound of his voice and stumbled into a bush. when I got up I saw a shadowy creature standing in front of him. The creature was about 6 1/2 ft tall and for some reason, it was... blurry?! The only thing I could make out was the glowing white eyes in the empty silhouette.

"run!" Alex warned

But the creature had already lunged at me. I tried to grab my wooden sword (from when we were younger), but the creature knocked me to the ground. I got up, quickly picked up my wooden sword, and charged. now that I look back on it, that was probably not the best idea...

I attempted to hit the creature with my sword, but I missed. Just as I looked at my brother for the last time, pain shot up my arm, I fell backward then, darkness

I got up quickly and screamed "ALEX!!!"

nobody answered

again, I yelled "ALEX!!!"

but again, nothing

I kept yelling "ALEX!!!" but it was useless

he was gone...

when I got home, I tried to explain the story in the most sane way possible, but my parents thought I made the whole thing up to cover up allowing Alex to run off. so they gave me to an orphan home (which wasn't the brightest place might I add) but I quickly found a way out. the only problem was that I didn't know how to live independently (much less in the streets). I found an (almost) empty alleyway and arranged the boxes in the same way I made me 'n Alex's fort. I tried to go for as long as possible without having to steal food, but after about 2 days I ran out of edible food. so I walked into the nearest bakery and pocketed as much bread as I could.

But as I left, the baker screamed "Hey kid!"

and I knew I wasn't welcome anymore. I started running for my makeshift house with the baker on my tail, but just before I made it home, the baker caught up to me and grabbed my hood.

"I'll give you 2 choices boy, you'll either give that bread back to me and you get off Scott-free or-" BANG!

A rusty frying pan came flying out of nowhere and hit the baker right in the head.

"PSST! Over here!" an unfamiliar voice whispered from around the corner

it was either waiting for the baker to wake up again and get pounded into the ground or following the strange whisper.

I decided I didn't want to die today, so I followed whoever this was. I followed them into several trapdoors and passageways until we eventually found ourselves in an open valley with a huge tree in the center. It was only then did I realize my "friend" was female. She led me toward the tree and I could see a small shelter hiding in the leaves. once we got to the base, she opened yet another trapdoor but instead of going through, she pressed something inside and a rope ladder fell from the branches.

I must've hesitated because she said "What? Are you scared of a rope ladder?"

I scoffed "you wish"

I climbed the fastest I think I've ever climbed a ladder.

by the time she got up, she said "Man, if I knew how fast you were, huff I'd never have asked that question."

I laughed

"So what's your name?" I asked

she looked out at the sunrise

"Sophie" she replied

"Mine's Adam"

she looked back at me

"Nice to meet you, Adam," she said while extending her arm for a handshake

"Nice to meet you too, Sophie," I said as we shook hands

then we both sat and looked out into the sunset

I sat up in my bed. all around was a small room made of a hollowed-out section of a grand tree. The sunlight shone through the moss hanging from the top of the doorframe. good, this wasn't all a dream.

I got out of bed and looked for clean clothes to wear out of habit, of course, there were none.

"feeling homesick?" Sophie asked as she pushed aside the moss door.

"yeah..." I replied glumly

"Don't be, I stay with you however long you need," she assured me

"Thanks, Sophie," I smiled

we both walked out onto the main platform where we had a view that overlooked the rest of the valley and beyond the trees was the city, where almost every pane of glass was shimmering from the sunrise.

"whoa," I said in amazement

"Yeah, it's pretty cool," Sophie said calmly

my stomach started growling

"Uh... what's for breakfast?" I asked

"Oh, I usually don't have breakfast but I can make a sandwich with the bread you got yesterday" she replied

"Oh, you have more food?"

"Yeah, I keep it in a trapdoor at the base of the tree," she said as she dropped the rope ladder down

"see you then," I said as she disappeared under the platform

Even though yesterday was such a dream, there was still one thing that bothered me: how did I climb the ladder so fast with only one hand? I remember moving my left arm the same way I'd normally move it while climbing, but I didn't fall when I let go with my right hand.

I had been avoiding it but I needed to know, I looked down and raised my left arm to see a hand-like thing at the end of my arm. The new "hand" was formed from tendrils of the strange shadowy substance. I extended my arm and tried reaching for the log on the other side of the platform, and my hand stretched and morphed until I could grab it.

"what the..." Sophie said right behind me

I was so shocked I dropped the log and my hand returned to normal. I turned right as Sophie finished climbing up the ladder.

"you didn't tell me you had a weird shadow hand," she said

"I, uh... just found out about it" I replied while trying not to sound like a lunatic who doesn't know they have a left hand

"Uh huh, you 'just found out' that you have a magic hand," she said while she placed the sandwich ingredients on the table

"Yes?" I said as I realized how dumb that sounded

"Well, I'll try not to interrogate you on it, but please don't use that to choke me" she joked

"Ha-ha,"

A couple of years passed as I learned how to use my newfound "powers", and Sophie went to the local school (the free one) to learn science and biology. By the time we both were about 17 Sophie asked me to the school prom. I accepted because I didn't want to break her heart (and because I liked her back). Over time, my abilities got easier to control, but the darkness on my arm had started to spread.

during prom, me and Sophie had found a way onto the roof.

"so what do you think we'll do in the future, Adam?" Sophie asked me with the moonlight sparkling in her eyes

"I'm not quite sure, but I do know that I want you to be there" I replied

"Me too," she said as she put her arms around me

and then she kissed me

After Sophie and I started dating, we got a lot better at our talents. Sophie discovered a way to go to Neptune and beyond once the power was restored to the earth, and I found out how to teleport with my shadow "tentacles."

Once, we went to the public library to help Sophie study for her upcoming science test when I found a book titled "The War of the Cosmos".I opened the book and read the contents.

The book reads "Once before all time, there were two Giants.

One of Light, and one of Shadows.

When the two Giants came face-to-face,

they tried to make peace with each other.

but the two Giants would often get into fights,

eventually, the Giants got tired of each other and they started the first war.

A war so destructive, it created many rifts in the void that would eventually become universes.

Legends say that we are living in universe 1

the Giants are no longer in combat, but they still hold grudges on each other, so they keep their distances.

One day, they will choose their champions from the first universe"

I thought the book was just another fake legend that the town had made up, but the illustration of the Shadow Giant looked exactly like the "creature" that took Alex.

I studied the legend all I could, but the only things I got were just the same story from the first book.

when Sophie & I got home, she tried to relate in some way, but she found nothing she could talk about. After we ate dinner, I walked into my room and flopped onto my bed. I closed my eyes and felt myself drift off to sleep, most of my dreams were fuzzy, but one of them didn't seem like a dream.

I found myself in an empty white void. I looked around until I saw her, a giant shadowy figure with two bright white eyes.

"Who are you?" I asked

"I am the Shadow Giant, and I've been watching over you," she answered,

"but- wh- hey!" I said in a fit of confusion

"I know you have many questions, but you are the bridge between the Thrix's and Humans."

"I'm a bridge!?!?! what does that even mean?!"

"you'll soon find out, but for now, I shall give you a new ability that balances both light and shadow, good luck," she said as the dream faded into darkness

I sat up in my bed so quickly that I threw my blanket off completely. I looked down and found that my normal Shadow suit was now a suit woven from light.

"good morning my-" Sophie said as she dropped my breakfast out of shock

"Mornin' Sophie, I found something new" I answered groggily

"I can see that. For a second there I thought you were one of those-"

"Light Thrixes" I interrupted

that was how I figured out who the "champion" was

"you've been spending a lot of time with Alex, haven't you?" Sophie asked with a playful tone

"yeah, I want to give him the best I can," I answered

"... is it because of what happened to your brother?" she asked, this time with a more concerned tone

I didn't answer, I knew that if I did, I'd just break down in tears

"I see... but next time you plan on going somewhere with him, let me know ok?" she said, trying to change the mood

"... ok," I answered hesitantly

"I'll see you after work honey, bye!" she said as she drove away

I called my sitter to take care of Alex while was away, but I got a voice mail instead. I listened to the voicemail.

"Hello Adam Scott," the mention of my former last name stung but I resumed the recording

"I've been looking for you for a while now ten years maybe? I remember your parents asking to find you after they sent you to the orphanage, when they found out you were missing, they called for me, to eliminate you."

sweat trickled down my neck, they were going to eliminate me? what about my son?!? I needed a way to negotiate, so I resumed the recording

"... but that wouldn't be very fun would it? I've been looking for you for more than a decade, and now I have to kill you? seems like a waste of my time, so instead I'll make a deal with you; you work for me instead of that other job, and I won't kill you. oh, and I'll give you a higher pay, meet me at the old lighthouse if you agree, if not... let's just say Alex won't be going to any more fun places. you have 48 hours, I'll see you then," right as the recording ended, my sitter came up on the phone as I told her to come watch over Alex as I headed towards the old lighthouse.

"I'm sorry Soph, I have to do this"

James/Kori -

Hi! Adam asked me to write about the day Nick tried (and failed) to trick the strongest person on the eastern coast. Before I start I want to introduce myself.

when I was young I was assigned the name "James" by my foster parents whom I soon ran away from because they are ABSOLUTE- anyway, I'm non-binary, and my birth parents knew that. I lived without my father most of my life, and my Mother was killed when I was younger. I spent most of my life moving from home to home until I found Nick, he was the only person who understood me, now he wasn’t my parent but I liked him. I eventually ended up joining Nick’s crew and I did that ever since… up to that one day, the day I’m going to tell you about.

May 5th, 2013

I was nervous, why wouldn’t I be? We had just lied to the city's most powerful person, if not the world. Nick had set the plan up like this: we’d research anything we could about a man named Adam “Scott” and use that against him. Then we’d write a script for a call to Adam’s home and threaten him to do a job for us. Then once he’s here we’ll make him do bounties for us and give us the prize money, while giving him triple the pay of his previous job. I obviously had my doubts but Nick’s plans hadn’t failed us yet, so I decided not to intervene… until he arrived.

“So, you wanted me to do a job for you?” Adam said as he emerged from the fog

“Yes, I- we want you to go get bounties for our crew” Nick replied trying to keep his nerves at bay

“Hm~ I dunno, sounds like a last resort job to me,” Adam said now closer than I would’ve liked

“This isn’t a choice, you are under a threat remember? Do you not care for your son and wife?” Nick said as a bead of sweat trickled down his face

“Oh I do, it’s just this little scam of yours is very poorly planned,” Adam replied wasting no time

“Wh-what do you mean? W-we aren’t trying to–” Nick’s expression shifted from nervous to terrified as the air around Adam turned into tendrils of shadows

“Yeah, that little plan of yours is awful. First off, you said you were gonna pay me what? Triple the pay of my old job? And for what? Letting me live? Nah, I don’t even have a job and I would gladly throw my life away for Sophie, even if it were to some idiot like you. Second, I’m the most powerful person you know of, did you really think you could defeat Adam Solace?” Adam said in a more frightening tone

“N-no we only w-wanted the money, we didn’t think we needed to fight you,” Nick replied trying his best to recover his senses

“Well, that’s another of the over twenty holes in your scam. Now I’m going to give you three seconds to get you and your little crew out of my city. if you aren’t gone… well, let’s just say that your crew isn’t gonna be pulling any more scams.” Adam said knowing we couldn’t leave in time

I was the only one in the crew that didn’t get attacked, I kept all of my stuff in a backpack. 

3…

I picked up my backpack and ran

2…

I made it to the border of town

1…

I turned around and witnessed the horrors of what happens when you mess with Adam Solace

Adam -

I’m not going into the details about the fight, but let’s just say that they didn’t leave in time. Also, yes, my name is Adam Solace. I took Sophie’s last name instead of my own for… reasons. I’m also not going into the details about the holes in their “scam” because if they really wanted to trick me, they’d spend at least six months researching because I don’t have many written records about myself (I wonder why).

After the little incident I headed home, I was done with today. I walked into my living room and collapsed on the couch as I dismissed the sitter. I looked at Alex who’d been jumping on the carpet of the living room and I realized just how quickly he’d figured that out, he was only 1 year old. I sat there marveling at my son's brain capacity before finally going to my & Sophie’s room. As I walked in I heard Sophie enter through the front door and I fell backwards onto the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning hadn’t gone as well as I’d hoped…

TO BE CONTINUED…

universe: 92-2394 D

universal year: 929,399,488,293,343,292

I was born as a god but my parents were titans, my dad's name is a little fuzzy in my memory. I was treated like dust when I was born, I only had one friend... I always dreamt about a world with vibrant colors and blue oceans, I loved the concept of life, it gave me hope. My friend was also a god, he/she loved the idea of life, just like me... one day I went to the commit we always met on, but... he/she wasn't there. A couple of eons later, my dad decided to send me off to find a new home and find the place I always wanted, though I didn't believe that he really wanted me to see my dreams. Just as that thought bubbled in my head he gave me something, the core the everything... he gave me a task: don't die, which is easy for someone like me. so I set off to find my new home, universe 6-472 E

Jack's Spooky Tale Chapter 2

as I set out for my new home, I didn't just look to other planets, I looked farther. I had much free time after my friend disappeared, I read about a prophecy in one of the great "bookeries" The prophecy read:

"look to the stars of universe 6-472 E,

where the waters glow and the land is green,

a creature of divinity shall come,

only to be forgotten in the world he's now from.

in this world it seems quite fine,

but with the creature the end will arise."

I'm not sure why, but I was strangely familiar with this prophecy. even though I hadn't read it before, it just seems like the ramblings of a crazed scientist... but the resemblance to my dreams of a blue and green world was unsettling.

I passed between "the gap", a place between worlds. I can recognise each and every universe, even though this was the first time I'd been outside of my universe. was that even my universe? I found universe 6-472 E, even though that was the one prophecyed to destroy all. I intended to stop this from happening.

and so I search for a place with waters that glow blue, and lands that are green.

Jack's Spooky Tales Chapter 3

I arrived at a planet called "Earth" it was the universal year 10,248,333,241 but the people there kept calling it "year 1463" they don't understand just how long their world has lived. they called me "pumpkin bringer" and "jack, the pumpkin king" Those were much better names than "slobber ball" and "the un-divine god"

I loved the new names they gave me, my old name was "samhain" but I now change it to... Jack! they started a holiday to celebrate me, a day called "All Hallows Eve" I suggested "Halloween" because it sounds better, but they thought it sounded "olden" for a day that worships me, I don't get much say in what happens. I made a mountain atop the sky and rested on clouds, one day I saw some god's coming down from the sky, the one with a lightning bolt said "thanks for the new home" and just stole my creation. I didn't really mind, I wasn't going to live there anyway. I remember how much time they spent each day to make costumes to "banish the demon within" sometimes I would bless their creations to have luck.

this planet was so blessed, too bad it'll start the end of everything

Jack's Spooky Tales Chapter 4(ending)

it was a happy day in the spring, with a sunny sky, nourishing crops, and happy villagers. it's the type of day you'd least expect your father to come from a portal in the sky, declaring war on you & your people.

as Odon came out of the sky (yes, I finally remembered his name), I braced myself for the impact as he shot after me.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR HAVING SUCH POWER," he said as he moved swiftly towards me.

I was confused as he swiped at me with his cosmic-enforced sword, I ducked under just in time.

"why are you doing this!?!?!" I ask him, trying to get him to stop fighting.

he keeps swiping at me, completely ignoring my words. after about 5 or 6 swings, he hits me right in the stomach. I stumble back in pain as he continues to attack, my people are now shooting fireballs at Odon, trying to burn him.

"Why do you want to see me now, after all these years?" I ask, stumbling away from his attacks.

"You possess the power I need!" he answers

I keep dodging, each swipe getting closer to the open wound. just as Odon nearly hits me again, someone hits him in the shoulder, causing him to stumble.

he recovers quickly and starts attacking, I try to get away, but he is moving too swiftly. He hits me again, the wound is fatal. Odon notices how badly hurt I am and smirks.

"my work is done here," he says as he opens a portal and leaves.

as he leaves, a photo falls out of his pocket. I fall to the ground right in front of it. the photo shows a picture of me and my best friend, Kronic.

I say my last words: "this death doesn't define me, it doesn't kill me. I am the child of the stars, I will be reborn in the arms of my lover." I say as I take my final breath

just a few years ago, more precisely, 7 years ago, Fazbear Entertainment (FE) came up with the mascot Bloomy. Bloomy was meant to resemble a flower that contained a sleeping gas, they also were designed with a screen in place of the mask to better suit children. One day while in the middle of the project, Bloomy picked up a glitch that stopped them from carrying on the necessary functions of the daycare attendant. later the programmers found out about the glitch and shut down the program.

Bloomy was put into a closet in the daycare and was shut down... but the glitch had other ideas

looking around I see darkness

I see an empty void, with nothing but a small purple orb floating in the center.

I wonder closer to the orb until I'm 2 feet away.

I reach for the orb, and my arm extends to meet my needs.

I touch the orb

suddenly, my body bursts with pain.

now I'm not where I started

I'm on earth!

I spot a nearby cave and try to run, but as I get up I look down and see that I'm melted

the explosion from the orb must've destabilized my form!

I manage to stand and start walking

halfway to the cave, I hear rustling in the bushes

I turn around quickly

I see a small animal with 2 long ears, a zigzag tail, and 2 brown stripes on its back.

the first thing the creature says is "Pikachu!"

I think about destroying it, but then I realize that it could help me.

I decided to bring the creature and name it "Master Pikachu"

I reach the cave and sit down

"I will regain my strength here little Pikachu, and while I rest you will spy on the other clans," I said to the creature

Master Pikachu nodded and set out to find the "void"

I could monitor Pikachu with my powers

one day I was checking on Pikachu and when I looked, I saw Void about to hurt him!

I was enraged so much to the point that I was able to teleport Pikachu to safety

as Pikachu ran back into the cave, there was a rustling in the bushes

I stood and walked to the strange noises

from out of the bushes I saw foxes, wolves, and even small creatures shaped like fishbowls (gims)

this was good, we now had an alliance

we'd been best friends since I was 2

we'd made the void together and then, she was fun

we'd been conquering planets and destroying worlds for millions of years

one day, I went to the void to meet with... well, Void, but something was wrong

there were traps and weapons everywhere

and then...

I never forgave her

I spent 4000 years in an empty void

in the cave, I looked around at my allies

one was missing

one wolf had left the cave

I looked for him for half an hour

he was working for Void!

I sent Pikachu and the gims out to challenge void

and so, the war began

Pikachu challenged me and him against void and her friend

as soon as we arrived, she started making the challenge

then when she was done, we started

we didn't know anything about the tournament, so we lost

we asked Void for a rematch, and she said this one didn't count

we had another chance!

that's when I realized, I didn't want to win

I wanted to have fun with Void again

like how we created a new interdimensional weapon

or when we created the void...

I didn't want to fight anymore

and that's when I decided to allow a spy in

to let them discover my notes

and hopefully stop this war

the spy got in and found my notes

I went and made a bargain with Void

she allied with me, and I gave her the name of the spy

lego was surprised, but not mad

he was happy that he at least got farther than Pikachu

I went to Void

we discussed why she trapped me

she says that she was not the one that had trapped me

she had no idea I existed

she said her name was Voidfluffy, and that I was looking for someone else

I was confused.

why did she look so much like void?

she said that with this alliance we could finally be at peace

agreed and walked outside

I gave the clans the news

we didn't have to fight

they were confused at first, but they understood

later I felt a disturbance in the world

an interdimensional portal had opened

I remembered the last time that I entered one...

I was 238 when it happened...

I saw a blue disk floating in the void

I walked up to it cautiously

I got my head halfway into the portal before Void found me

she pulled me out just as the portal closed

we got mad at each other

we agreed to meet here tomorrow

that was the day that...

now I was facing a portal yet again

this time I was prepared

I tied a rope around my waist and asked Pikachu to hold the other end

he would pull if it were closing

but when I walked all the way through, the rope snapped

I tried running back through the portal, but it was gone

I was trapped

this story is continued in my book: the glitched records: Broken Truths

if you want to hear more about this mini-series then ask me

I'll see you in the next one, bye! -christal

This story takes place in a world after the adventure, after all the losses and battles. This is what happens if a hero can live to see the future they created.

coming soon!

but did you really think that was the end of their story?

I wake

I get up quickly and scan the room, nothing

I get out of bed and walk outside, hoping to see him again, but he's not there.

"Eir!" I call, but no one answers

"Eir!" I try again, but it's no use; he's not here

Where was he? Maybe he was at the shops, or maybe the cabin we built. I had to find out

I walked outside to find myself at a lakefront.

funny... I don't remember there being a lake here before.

As I walk, I notice more and more that has changed, as if I'd been sleeping for 500 years. While this was still a possibility, it was very unlikely. but the thought kept chasing me.

I passed by a few new things before I made it to our cabin.

"Zezel!" Nova screamed as she ran from 20 gremlins

"open the frickin' door!"

I ran to the barrier I had set up on the outside of the cave and opened a temporary "doorway"

"You should be more careful, Nova," I said as she collapsed on the floor

"You nearly led them into our cave."

"Yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't leave a glowing tracker on me when I go out for stealth missions!" she said angrily

"I need to know you're safe and not robbing people," I argued

"You let me rob gremlins and cyclopses, but not humans or elves?"

"yes"

"Okay, enough with the bickering," Eir said to break the tension

"We need a better base is all; let's build a cabin."

I remembered the scene perfectly, but why now? it's almost as if I'd forgotten...

I moved forward and entered our old base.

It had been kept in perfect condition; all my old spellbooks were still there, and they had been dusted. but something was off... I took one step and an alarm rang, it pierced my ears, the sound was excruciating.

I couldn't speak, I couldn't scream, not even casting a spell was an option.

Then it turned off.

"Well, you're new," said a new voice from behind

I sat up from my chair with excitement as I looked down at the map of a new continent.

“Cass, don’t ya know what this means?! We can finally go on an adventure together, like we always dreamed of when we were young!” I said with eyes full of hopes as I looked at Cass, who sat cross-legged on the other side of the table

“I don’t know, Jay, maybe this isn’t what we thought it would be… what if you get hurt! I could never forgive myself if-“

“C’mon Cass, it’ll be fun! Just think of the things we’ll see! And maybe feel…” I said as I wandered closer to him and put my hand on his shoulder

“Well, maybe we could go… but what do you mean by ‘feel’?” He said as his face reddened slightly

“Well, you remember the tree inciden-“

“WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THAT” he shouted as his face went the color of a ripe strawberry and he pounded his hands on the table

I laughed.

Back when we were younger, Cass had asked me over to an olive tree just outside the village. We were about 11 or 12 when this happened, but once we were there, we hung out for about half an hour. At some point, he asked me to come over to the back, where the leaves made a sort of cover that made it seem like a private room. There, he asked me, “Hey Jay? Do you… Love me?” And I obviously said yes, but he thought I was joking. So now we’re here….

“You’re fun to tease, ya know that?”

“Shut up! Weren’t you talking about an adventure?”

“Why yes! So I’m assuming you’re coming?”

“Sigh fine! but only because you need a cook”

“You’re my hero, Cass~”

“Shut up.”

We walked off to the airship dock and made our way to a new future

The end

How did I get here?

I woke up in a pitch black room. I didn't know what happened, nor who I was. I lay there, motionless, for what seemed like hours... then I finally got up.

I opened my eyes to find that the room was fairly lit and lined with all sorts of symbols in both blue and gold. The floors were cut from some kind of white stone, and the walls were dark blue with a map of sorts etched in white and gold. The ceiling towered above, seemingly held up by columns.

I walked around the building for a while and tried to find my place until I came across a page encased in glass. I looked down at the page and somehow managed to understand the message written: "To anyone left in the world who can read this, I have made a discovery. I've managed to contain the star and study the magic it holds. I've hidden the books on how to maintain and use this star around my tower. Stella, if you're reading this after you finally wake, I hope you can continue my work and keep the star safe. This is my final wish... goodbye."

I had no idea what had happened, but I felt that I had to carry out the message and keep the star safe. I didn't know who "Stella" was, but after a while, I had started to call myself that, as I had no other name I could think of.

Years passed as I read and read about the star, its properties, and how to use its magic. I developed an energy source from the star and created a friend to help take care of the star. Her name was Cosmo, and I cared deeply for her as I did for the star. As I grew old and Cosmo took my place, I looked at my old room for the last time, now recognizing the protection runes and constellation maps lining every wall, floor, and ceiling.

I sat down, looked at the place I'd protected for so long, my "daughter", and finally, I looked up at the star for the last time...

My final wish is for Cosmo to continue caring for the star and keep it lasting for as long as she lives...

Goodbye

I wasn't there to protect them, or even hear their final wish

All I saw of the carnage was the ashy remains of a town I once called home

I moved on to try to honor their legacy in any way I could, but it all felt empty

Even now, I look back and remember

the intricate way the light reflected off her beautiful obsidian eyes

the way his smile could brighten even the darkest room

and the time we all watched the night as meteors showered the sky

It all seems like a fantasy now

I keep staring at the empty chair lit by golden light

remembering the time someone filled the empty space

So I ask you

Will you wait inside for the sun to go down the next time you wish to see the sunset?

Will you wait for a plant to grow while you're away fetching the water?

And will you wait for your family to find you while you're off on a journey?

Dungeon Master(s): Luke & Cora

Story Perspective: Aleous (my character :D)

One a rather peculiar day, while the knights patrolled nearby towns, paladins warded fearsome foes, and the rogues had their fair share of mischief, Death himself had risen to the earth. suddenly, kingdoms turned on each other, towns fought, and rumors spread, the nations divided by a sinister force with no distinct source.

over time, one of the last kingdoms left decided to take matters into their own hands and called upon three heroes to save the lands from darkness.

A Paladin who's oath and valor never faltered

A Shapeshifter who's cunning could bypass even the toughest of gatekeepers

A Rogue that always found a way to find a solution in the chaos

yet... is what they hear truly that of the heroes valor?

Current Chapter Count: 4

Dungeon Master(s): Christal (me :D)

Story Perspective: 3rd person

Everything around me was... strange, to say the least. I saw two large silhouettes towering above me... and between them was... my brother, Alex. His appearance hadn't changed from the last time I saw him, he wore the same old blue flannel overshirt he'd always wear, his faded blue jeans, and the shirt I made for him back in first grade to comfort him in the hospital.

"Hey, it's been a while Adam, why don't ya join us?" he said with a goofy grin across his face

Is he... really back?

I wake up in a cold sweat, Sophie laying still asleep beside me.

"Gosh... I hate getting that dream..." I whisper carefully to myself

I get up and get ready for the day, grab the newspaper, and wait for the sun to rise. The day progresses as usual, Sophie heading off to work as I check on Alex in his crib.

Still sleeping...

I look down at him with a soft smile, before my good morning gets interrupted by a loud knocking from the door.

Kori -

It was a little difficult to find a way to sleep after what happened the day before... especially since I didn't have a nice bed to sleep on.

After what happened yesterday, I found my way to a somewhat peaceful, grassy plain to set my sleeping bag. Although the grass and soil were pretty soft, the hill was covered in rocks, I managed to find the smoothest area (with a little adjustment to the rocks) and fell asleep... after about 2 hours. It was a dreamless sleep, like usual, but I didn't expect there to be a man in a full suit to greet me when I woke up.

he was pretty tall, about 5 foot 11, with a nametag that read "Jasper Callow"

"Uh... good morning...?" I said sleepily

"Good morning James, it's nice to meet you. You are scheduled to a court trial, please follow me" he said bluntly

without any better options, I decided I didn't wanna go to jail today, so I obliged and started following him. After a little while (and a bit of confusion) we arrived in the a large room with rows of chairs. Kinda like a church, but built for the law. Jasper directed me to sit on one of the front benches, right next to the other survivor from yesterday, Jason.

I didn't really know Jason that much, especially since he spent most of his time talking to Nick and helping the rest of the crew.

I was mostly thinking this would be quick and simple... before Adam was brought in with handcuffs

Adam -

As you could probably tell, my day wasn't going the greatest so far. The handcuffs were tight against my wrists, and the room wasn't exactly welcoming. looking around I saw two of the crew members who had managed to get out in time, and while I'd seen the blond one get away, the other was much more stealthy.

before I could do or say anything, the judge slammed her court hammer to draw attention.

"welcome everyone. today we have been brought here to acknowledge the claims against Adam Solace for mass murder and unprecedented assault." She said, her voice carrying across the large room.

I won't go into full details on how the trial went, but I'll give you a brief summary. Essentially, we both ended up losing the trial, and given a sentence together. We'd both be sent to capture a sea creature known as "The Darktailed Captain" and once we brought home the creature's body, we'd be sent free.

Personally, this felt like something straight out of a fantasy series, but who was I to complain with the law?

And before I knew it, I was captain of the Jackal's tail, with Kori as my second-in-command.

"Hey, I know we didn't really meet on a good note, but my name's Kori, what's yours?" They said, extending their arm for a handshake

"Adam," I shook his hand gingerly, although he was a bit more enthusiastic about it than I was

"You excited for the voyage? I know I am!"

"No, not really..."

"Why not? Is it because of the crew? They seemed pretty nic-"

"No." I interrupted

"It's my family, I'm not sure I'm ready to leave them again..."

We walked in silence for a few minutes before they spoke again.

"Well... I know it's not the same, but I could take a picture for you. You know, as something to remember them by?" They pulled out a small vintage camera that must've been at least 20 years old

I don't really remember our conversation much past that, but they were pretty kind to me, considering everything that's happened. They did end up taking the picture for me, which I'm still incredibly grateful for. And he decided to leave, probably to let me have my last goodbyes...

"You're not really leaving, are you?" Sophie asked in disbelief as I explained what happened

"I don't really have a choice... It's either comply or go to prison, or worse."

"But what about Alex?"

"I'll do my best to get back as quickly as possible, just keep strong, alright?"

"Alright. But you'd better come back in one piece!"

I chuckled a bit at her response

"No promises,"

Even though this was the last day I got to spend with her, we tried to make the most of it. We went to a festival that was being held that day, and we picked games and competitions that seemed fun.

We tried a strength competition, which I won using my shadow hand. Sophie attempted several ring toss games, but only ended up winning three of them. And all the while, Alex seemed to enjoy himself, especially when we visited a pet store; He really liked the rabbits they had there.

And finally, after a long night, we decided to head out to dinner. The place we decided on was a small tavern called "Brisk's". The place was run by a man who looked to be in his 40s, but I couldn't shake the feeling I knew him from somewhere.

We sat down and were greeted by the waiter, who looked to be about 23. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and a soup for Alex, and that would've just been the end of the night. But as we were leaving, I felt a strong hand rest on my shoulder as I turned to find the older man who must've been Brisk.

"Say, after all these years, I didn't expect you to show up again." He said in a voice much softer than I would've expected

"Oh, hi... what do you mean by 'again'?" I asked, clearly confused, but that familiarity only seemed to grow with him standing there

"Ah, makes sense you don't remember me. You were the kid who stole bread from my bakery 10 years ago."

Suddenly, it all began to click into place: that angry man who'd chased me when I was younger was right in front of me. He definitely looked much calmer than when we originally met, and just a bit older. We talked for a while before Sophie, Alex, and I finally headed home.

And in the morning, we said our goodbyes.

Wishing for answers you knew

And when I come back down again

There’s a pain inside my head

And I start to come undone

Life away has been great

But now I start to feel the weight

Of everything upon my shoulders

Coming down as if they’re boulders

But I don’t think I should run

I feel that I’m not fine

But that’s not the truth inside

I just need a moment of rest

Then I’m back up to my best

But the others think I’ll rip

I’m starting to fall a bit behind

Because of hiccups in my mind

All my possessions fall around

So I pick them back off the ground

Because I’m starting to unzip

“Dot, why did you leave?” 

“Dot, your deadline is in two weeks.”

“Dot, why would you want to wear that? You do know those are for boys, right?”

They spoke in strangely familiar voices, but I couldn’t recognise a single one. As they keep talking, the ground below me begins to crack, then shatter, as the silver pieces break into shards. 

I wake up, but instead of fear, I only feel annoyance. I sit up slowly and slide out of my bed, hoping they won’t notice. I stand, get ready, and grab my backpack, but as I reach for my mirror I-

“Why the rush, Dot? Hoping I wasn’t up yet?” The figure in the mirror taunted

I sighed, “Yes, Line, it’s not like I want to be antagonized by you every morning.”

Line only smiles, “Well, all in vain, I suppose, I’ll always wake up whenever you do. By the way, how do you like that dream I made for you?” 

I rolled my eyes, “It’s gotten boring, you keep using the same lines, and you never change the ending.” I grab the mirror and start making my lunch

“Well, maybe you’re right. You always were the better storyteller, which makes me wonder why you stopped in the first place.” Line’s tone was almost sincere enough to be convincing

As I finished packing my lunchbox, I headed for the door. “Just be quiet, okay? I can’t focus with you blabbering in my ear all day,” and I rode my bike to work

Things were pretty normal for the most part, just another boring day of filing emails and making sure the website works. After a while, our lunch break starts, and everyone heads for their normal spots around the building. I sit down at my normal spot in the courtyard, a small set of tables under the tree. A few weeks ago, you would’ve found me sitting with everyone else, trying to show them Line, but after a lot of failed attempts, I’d say it’s safe to assume they think I’m making things up. 

I gently placed my lunchbox down and started eating the crudely made sandwiches. The bench felt like ice beneath me, and the wind breezed by, picking up a few leaves on its way. I half expected Line to start taunting me from the mirror again, but they stayed quiet. 

“Hey, may I sit here?” 

The voice nearly made me jump, but as I turned, I only saw one of the new interns standing there nervously.

“Why don’t you sit with everyone else? I’m sure they’re better company than I am.” I said as I turned back to my lunch

“I thought it’d be nice to get to know everyone here… and I don’t think they like me very much.” 

I sighed, “Alright, just make sure the others don’t know you sat with me, or they might like you even less.” 

He sat down carefully and pulled out a brown paper bag labeled “LUNCH”. His stuff was definitely much more organized than mine was; he even had color-coded folders, and his lunch was packed as if he were playing Tetris. 

“You don’t need all that you know; it’ll only make things slower.” 

“Well, I don’t mind, I like things to be organized.” 

I chuckled at his response; he reminded me of how I was back when I first joined. “Hey, what’s your name?”

“My name’s Jacob, but most people call me Jake. What’s yours?”

“Dot,”

We sat in silence for a while, just eating our lunch. I started fidgeting with my pencil, twirling it around in my fingers, almost like a parade leader waves a baton.

Jake turned to me with his mouth still half-filled with his sandwich. “So, why do the others not like you? You seem pretty cool to me.” 

I sighed. “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” I took another bite out of my sandwich, which was getting pretty small by that point

He seemed to take that as a personal challenge. “I would! It can’t be that crazy.” The shadow cast by the tree made his eyes look almost like a puppy’s 

I hesitated for a moment before grabbing my mirror. Line was still smiling in the reflection. 

“It might seem crazy to say this, but there’s a shadow version of myself in this mirror.” I held it up to face Jake

His face lit up with curiosity. “Really? That’s so cool! I wonder if I’m in there, too.” 

“No, I mean, really, they’ve been taunting me for the past couple months.” 

“Oh, well, maybe I don’t want one then.” He chuckled nervously. “I think-”

My watch started ringing; it was the end of our lunch break. 

I felt a little disappointed that we couldn’t talk more, but I guess time can’t just stop as it does in stories. After we said our goodbyes, I headed back to my desk and continued what I was doing. 

Another 6 hours later, and I can finally head home. I get on my bike, secure my bag, and ride home. The seasons had been pretty strange lately, but today it was rather nice, especially the sunset. 

I opened the door to my apartment, and I locked the door behind me. I flop down onto my bed and stare up at the ceiling as I pull out the mirror again.

“Hey there, Dot! I see you made a new friend earlier, maybe-”

“Line, why do you stick around?” I interrupted. “I get that you’re a part of me, but you also said you’re free to leave whenever you want. Do you find it funny to taunt me? Or were you just bluffing?” 

For the first time, Line actually looked speechless for a moment. “I’ll be honest, I’m not sure why I’m still here. A few months ago, I would’ve said I found it funny, but things have gotten old, even for me.” 

I sat in silence for about a minute before I got up and started to write my daily journal entry. I don’t really pay attention to them much while writing; it all just seems pretty straightforward. 

Once I was done with the entry, I checked my phone to find a text from my brother, but also one from Jake. My brother, Tyler’s, text was the same old invitation to some random event he was supposedly holding, but Jake’s said, “Hey, I found your number through the company website. You think we can meet up at the park later?” 

I texted back, “Sure, does 7 work for you?”

And so, once 7:00 rolled around, I headed for the town park. It wasn’t exactly far, so I just decided to walk. Despite how gray the town of Monna can be, I find myself gazing up at the colorful gradients in the sky many times. The pink, orange, and deep blue hues that blended and made up the sky were incredibly vibrant, and the way the shadows of the clouds contrasted with the glow of the sunset was almost magical. 

Once I arrived at the park, I found Jake standing near the large willow tree. He turned to face me as I approached, his rather goofy smile, which I’ve only known for less than a day, forming wide on his face. 

“Don’t worry, I won’t ask about the mirror again. Although I am still curious about.” Jake said as we both chuckled

“Well then, what did you want to discuss?” 

He moved his hand to the back of his neck. “Well, our boss wanted me to choose someone to help show me how things work, but when I suggested you, he just said to ask you in person.” 

“Okay, in that case, I’d be glad to help you.” I smiled at him. “Now that that’s out of the way, we can talk more about the mirror if you want.” 

He smiled back at me. “Oh, sure! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure if you even wanted to talk about it.”

I pulled the mirror out of my bag, and I could still see Line looking back at me. “Well, here it is… You see anything now?”

Jake put his hand to his chin, as if to stoke an imaginary beard. “No, just me and you… is there anything you like about it?”

I wasn’t exactly ready for the question, but after a bit of thought, I managed to make a list.

“Well, for one, Line listens to me whenever I tell them to keep quiet, they help me wake up on time, and… they take on the exact appearance that I’d like to have.”

“Okay, then what about the things you don’t like?”

“They taunt me every morning, shove bad memories down my throat, and appear in every single mirror I come across.”

Jake thought for a moment. “Well, from what I know of you, I think you look great as you are, you seem to be a good listener, you always show up on time, and while you do seem to hold onto things you don’t like to think about, you appreciate the beauty of the world, even here.”

I stood there for a while, entirely speechless. I’d always thought of Line as some entity from my soul sent to torture me, but I’d never considered it- them as a part of me. 

Jake pushed the mirror down, and I turned to face him. “Dot… whatever pain you’ve been going through, the pressure you’ve probably felt, and how you see yourself, I’m here to walk with you.” He offered me his hand

I looked down at the mirror one last time, and I took his hand. 

Ever since that day, I’ve been trying to accept myself, do things I’ve always wanted to do, and finally become a writer for a big studio. Jake ended up graduating from college, and we both left to join Universal Studios. Now, Jake’s married and works as a therapist; meanwhile, I’m now the director and writer of many shows and movies. 

And after everything, now, when I look in the mirror, I no longer see a Line, I finally see me.

Flowers sprouting here and there

The sun shines bright, high above

And the hill stands tall, as if chasing

So that no one would guess

There’s a seedling growing there

The seedling’s barely sprouting

Two green leaves on a stem

With the gentle breeze blowing by

But the seedling has a longing

For a companion on the hill

But it supposes “maybe in time.”

And so, time the seedling spent

Waiting and waiting on its hill

Rain, sun, cool, snow, seasons pass

Soon the seedling’s a sapling

Storms, wind, rain, sun, years go by

And the sapling becomes a tree

One day, on a quiet afternoon

A metal monster roars and rolls

As the beast rumbles to a stop

Tall creatures in green cloth emerge

The creatures dig and stab at the ground

And soon, the tree leaves the hill

The tree rides the beast for a while

And when the tree meets the ground again

Greetings and chants are all it hears

From the trees that surround it

But when the tree sleeps that night

When it wakes, all it hears is screams

Burning forest between two mountains

Fires sparking here and there

The sun outshone, high above

A hill left so perfectly

So that no one would guess

A tree once was growing there
