Quests & Challenges

oh man i got the idea for this when i was exhausted last night and then today was so busy (without warning :/) that i completely forgot about it.. my computer deciding that crashing w/ ten minutes to go before rollover would be fun did not help so. oh well here it is anyway even tho it wont get judged

also Walu uses he/they i guess

It was an exhausted and unhappy Walu who approached the Sunbeam Ruins that evening. It had been a long journey, and an unexpected storm had forced them to go around the lair they normally stopped to rest at.

At least they could always depend on their trusty familiar to keep them company-

Hold on.

Where the hell is that thing?

Walu looked around in confusion, but not panic - it wasn't uncommon for the little Spectre to vanish from view on occasion, though it normally wasn't so hard to find the little guy.

There!

Walu darted after the Lux Spectre's flickering trails, grumbling at the game it had decided to play without warning. Sure, he'd managed to make it to the Ruins ahead of schedule despite the storm, but he was still running on a time limit! Where the hell was that thing going?

...A bakery?

Well, that was odd. It wasn't as though the Spectre needed to eat anything - It was one of the reasons Walu didn't mind it hanging around.

Well, didn't mind it hanging around most of the time. Sometimes he just cursed the fact that he felt enough of a sense of obligation towards it to keep it from bothering random bakers!

Why in Sornieth is it going inside?

Walu pushed the door open tentatively, blinking at the warmth and delicious smells of the bakery.

Oh, they realised as their bad mood lifted, blinking at the brighter lights inside the store. That's why.

A dragon egg, nestled in a pile of open books and forgotten scrolls, bathed in the warm light filtering in through a stained glass window depicting the Lightweaver herself. It seemed to emit a soft, pulsing glow, as rhythmic and faint as the heartbeat of the hatchling inside.

The Great Floating Library. Native to Wind, this library travels around Sorneith once every few years to look for new books and other miscellaneous items to add to it's giant collection. Mika couldn't wait to enter it's halls and get his claws on everything he could possibly read before it left again.

It wouldn't be at all suspicious; with the amount of traffic that passed through the Brightshine Bakery during the Jubilee, not much was suspicious. When your fur glowed like the sun at the slightest hint of light, it was usually very difficult to blend in with the crowd, but today he wasn't even going to be the brightest creature in the area.

One also needed a subject, creative ideas. And the only thing he could think about was the lovely smells of the bakery. But from his thoughts about inspiration as an ingredient, and the idea of baking and recipes Haruto had a lovely idea for a poem - write a recipe for story telling in the style of a baking recipe.

His was a rehearsed display, one of many for the festival goers to enjoy as they strolled and flew about. His dance was just winding down when a wandering glint of gold caught his eye and a steady flap of six feathered wings. [i]My book![/i] He just barely kept to his flight patterns, having missed the old friend, but also, the book quite obviously followed someone new….. [i]What a gorgeous coatl,[/i] he thought, just as the decorated creature looked up and yeah...Oronte probably showed off a little more under that gaze.

It looked different from this vantage point. In yesterday’s tale, he’d flown high with Oronte and now he looked up. [i]There he is!

congrats, everyone!! there were such great entries for this, i loved seeing everyone's creativity.

I won one of the daily challenges! So happy. ^^ Now I need to find a dragon that looks similar to Apollo, and he must preferably be a gen one; ...expensive, but it'll be so worth it! /haha

Congratulations to all the winners! And a big congrats to @Saronai; you are a great rival, and it's fun to run into you in the contests we both decide to participate in. ;)
