The smell of cured paper and ink fills the air reminding you of a library or an old book. There are many dragons gathered here, all scratching words down on their own parchments. Almost invisible among the ensemble, is a green Fae outfitted in well-used adventuring gear and a green tam.

[size = 4][b]Journey to the Jamboree[/b] (500-3000 Words)[/size]
Dragons travel from all over the world to the Windswept Plateau for the Mistral Jamboree. Some don’t travel far, like the Fire neighbors in the Ashfall Waste. While other dragons, like Nature dragons in the Viridian Labyrinth, have to fly over many lands to arrive at the festival. Write a story about a dragon, or a group of dragons and details about their travels to reach the Jamboree. Maybe you want to reflect on a difficult and dangerous part of the adventure, maybe you would prefer to speak of an interesting dragon that you have met along the way.

Young hatchlings love to be regaled with stories about legendary dragons, heroes, and the Ages of the Gods, or even interesting adventures from a normal dragon. It is the duty and honor for the dragons of the Wind flight to travel throughout the land and deliver these stories. One day, a jade-eyed Wind Guardian arrives at the end of your clan’s territory and delivers a scroll containing such a story. Will you tell of the story you recieved from afar? Or do you have a new story for the windbound messenger to add to the archives of tales?

[/url][nextcol]Astrid is always reading books, most of the time its a book about a new Rune for her to improve her magic, but occasionally she sits down and reads fictional stories. You will never get her to admit it, but she loves a good romance. She volunteered from Clan Vokan to be the judge for the story Contest.[/columns]

[/url][nextcol]Calliope absolutely loves words - they can be both fluid and rigid, allowing for creativity while also conforming to structure: the way they flow into each other on the pages, the cadence as they're sounded, the syntax that unites form with expression. In a way, they're the water she drinks, the music in her ears, the air she breaths. (Right, so she might actually just be a [i]tad[/i] obsessed.) Fine, she begrudgingly admits that she's a total sucker for pretty words framed in the right contexts (that is, narrative-ly and grammatically). This year, Calliope's super excited to be reading others' stories, and she's promised to try her best to stay impartial and, well, not activate fangirl mode at every instance of clever diction. Or puns. [size=2](she really loves her puns.)[/size]

[/url][nextcol]Motueka claims he reads books for the exercise - especially the Imperial and Guardian books; there's a lot of flying involved, not to mention weightlifting while opening the cover and turning pages! But in reality he just loves everything about them - the smell, the feel, the look of the letters, and of course the words.

She wears huge round hipster horn-rimmed glasses and reads poetry that is way out there on the fringes of genius and insanity and she's constantly quoting Shakespeare plays and she likes to talk about constellations as if they were real people and anime characters as if they were her friends and places like Hogwarts and Camelot as if they existed, she believes in Achilles and Hector and demigods, in wizards and knights in shining armor, in wishes made upon shooting stars and that there is something more to the world, but somehow all of that just makes her cute. In a dorky, strange, grows-on-you-after-a-while kind of way.

Astrid is always reading books, most of the time its a book about a new Rune for her to improve her magic, but occasionally she sits down and reads fictional stories. You will never get her to admit it, but she loves a good romance. She volunteered from Clan Vokan to be the judge for the story Contest.
Calliope absolutely loves words - they can be both fluid and rigid, allowing for creativity while also conforming to structure: the way they flow into each other on the pages, the cadence as they're sounded, the syntax that unites form with expression. In a way, they're the water she drinks, the music in her ears, the air she breaths. (Right, so she might actually just be a tad obsessed.) Fine, she begrudgingly admits that she's a total sucker for pretty words framed in the right contexts (that is, narrative-ly and grammatically). This year, Calliope's super excited to be reading others' stories, and she's promised to try her best to stay impartial and, well, not activate fangirl mode at every instance of clever diction. Or puns. (she really loves her puns.)
