Hello. Please call me storyteller. I would like to post my story, Calignosity, here, for right now this seems to be the best environment for it. Hopefully you will enjoy it, and comment.
The title, I should explain, is in roman numerals. I^I will mean part 1 chapter one. I^II will mean part 1 chapter 2. and so on. Dark Dreams is the chapter title.
Last thing to note, is that for each chapter I'll put a random picture I search for on google on top of the chapter. I just feel like it, so that's what I'll do.
Look forward to the next chapter on Friday, Feb. 5.
Dark Dreams
Water kicked up as the figured walked along the path, staring down. Although the liquid beneath the figure’s feet held the consistency of water, the liquid had the appearance of an oil spill, with a rainbow of colors and sheens obscuring the reflection of the figure’s hood. The ripples faded away slowly and the figure watched them disappear over the edge, prematurely dropping to an all too close ground.
A small noise made the figure turn to see a brown feathered duckling splashing around in the puddles which would have once flowed with clear, but still colorful water. It was a pleasant sight, which had become so scarce of late. This duckling is one of many who had been ignored recently, and so the water and its surroundings had fallen to a darker light, with nothing but a star or two to shed light on this zone.
With a sigh, the figure looked up to the sky, seeing that there were only a few stars out today, all being far off and shedding little light. But today the figure had resolved to begin the search once more for the one who held the most hope out of anyone there, which the stars were a painful reminder.
“Duck of Mordecai,” the figure said in a masculine voice, “You will see your friend soon, do not worry.” Of course he was referencing that laguz named Modecai, hailing from Gallia on the continent Tellius. The laguz (humanoid who could transform into an animal) was from a recent game, but after a couple years the game and the more minor characters in it were becoming forgotten. In one of the promotion sketches, Mordecai was pictured with 3 ducklings, one of who was here. He (Mordecai) would surely be here soon, one of the earlier ones. He reached down to pet the duckling, betraying his body to be ill suited to a cloak. With broad shoulders and heavy muscles, this was not his ideal situation. With a smile at this thought, he chuckled at the double meaning that would make any poet proud.
The duckling quacked in delight from being petted, and brought the figure back to reality. After hearing this the figure stood up once more, and continued his walk in search of the star child who may have the brightest future of anyone he would meet. And so he left the duckling splashing in the darkness of the now grounded Fountain of Dreams.
