Short Story: Kingdom of Mavis-Daydreamer
minikoiwosaki

There once lived a girl who daydreamed to the point that she often fell into trouble. She would often walk into things and end up with all sorts of scrapes and bruises, sometimes even running into people. She loved to tell people about them and it wasn't long before they realized that some of her daydreams were actually visions and were coming true. They soon became to fear her and soon the only ones who would even speak to her were messengers from the king.

It was at such a time that the king's messenger's appeared to ask for her help in rescuing his sister. A monstrous beast had held her captive on a whim and no one had any inkling of where his lair could be. For the first time in her life, the little girl met people who came up with stories just like she did and she agreed to go with them for the sake of hearing these tales. She lead one after another to the dragon's lair until there were none left and she was once again all alone. She decided to disappear and went to live alone in the White forest where no humans dared enter.

Ten years passed before she met another person and it was another storyteller at that. The storyteller was named Aliya and she was shocked to hear the daydreamer she had heard of was then only a teenager and had been no more than five years when she had helped in the earlier rescue attempts of the king's sister. The daydreamer had been adamant that she would stop leading more people into the beast's lair but she soon warmed up to Aliya and the two became close. It was Aliya who decided that the daydreamer needed a real name and calling her simply by her title was not enough. She named her Kairi and continued to cajole her into leading her to the lair but their new friendship just further hardened Kairi's resolve to protect Aliya from the beast.

Aliya had made the journey in the company of a group of mercenaries and it was their leader, Elar, that finally came up with a plan. He suggested that if they wanted to rule out failure and convince the storyteller that they would succeed, they first had to figure out the beast's origins to figure out the secret to beating him. Kairi agreed to their plan and soon they prepared for another journey. Kairi had seen a vision of the beast's birthplace in the nearby kingdom of Aionnes and it was there that their search was to begin. A sorceress who had been travelling through the forest heard of their dilemma, offered to transport them directly to the kingdom's capital with a transportation circle and the band of heroes were able to spare themselves the hours of travel and soon arrived in the city. They set out on their search for knowledge and came to know the beast was called Kamatra, a seven headed wyvern that had been born in the previous millennium. They gathered more info until Kairi had a vision of a street performer who knew the secret of defeating the beast and it was with him, that they continued their journey and rescued the king's sister.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
