[center][h1]All Endings Are Beginnings[/h1][/center] [hr] [center][h3][color=gray] Highlanders[/color][/h3][/center] [hr] The Queen Joyf journeyed ever south with her royal retinue. They seeded the land with many a Joyf, for the glory of the Joyfdom. Eventually they reached the great Garden where Joyfs became the chosen breed of pet. Their descendants still endure, bringing warmth and joy wherever they are. As for the Queen, well, she is still pampered and doted upon to this day. [hr] After Nallan vanished, Nalla’s fledgling empire crumpled in the Highlands. To infighting. It took years before the region settled into peace again, before being conquered time and time again by warlords or the great city states that pushed their borders. Nalla eventually faded from memory but those that were closest to her, always hoped for her return… [hr] [center][h3][color=crimson] Angels[/color][/h3][/center] [hr] Deep in the deserts of Kubra. The Kayhin had been wrong. As they fled that ancient stone site, now broken to the foundations of the earth, they left behind a tomb. One that housed a very dangerous threat, or one that could have been, but his time in that desert land was cut down in its infancy. For Malri, the demon of the north, god emperor of the south, wanderer, killer, and father to demonspawn… was entombed alive. It would have been easy, with all his strength, to escape. To seek revenge upon the one who insulted him so, but it was not to be. For not long after, a strange light descended from the heavens and engulfed the area. When the light fled, the stones had changed into that of a mighty half-circle that contained the demon within. Upon the walls lay a script that all could read, 'Contain the Evil within.' And that became the end of Malri. For now. [hr] For nearly thirty years Iora scoured the land searching for the object of her fascination, the plant girl known as Genesis. After several fateful encounters, the trail went cold in the fifteenth year of her search. Iora's mental state began to spiral in year twenty five and by year thirty she had gone insane. By happenstance she resurfaced near the Luminant years after the Unification of the Aiviri. Rambling about end times and Queens of blood, ice and fire. After going on a killing spree, she was defeated through a combined effort of Aiviri and human ingenuity. She was deemed unfit for any sort of rehabilitation and Queen Soleira sentenced her to imprisonment for life in the Heart Pierce Spire. To protect herself and her caretakers, Iora was blinded when around people, restrained at all times and drugged with calming herbs to combat her temperament. She will be there for a very long time. [hr] Tevuri and his Oraeliari were loyal to Lucia and Sanya in the end. They followed them and settled down, acting as caretakers and guides for those that wished to be closest to Oraeliara. After searching for years, Cardinal Tevuri’s Once-Mate, Pera, found him again and there was a great and wonderful celebration. They settled down and had a few children, living out their days in peace. [hider=Summary] Short stories that wrap up some of my more obscure stories. [/hider] [hider=MP] Nothing. [/hider]
