Seasonal Prompts

Spring took a long time to reach the highlands and Brook still had no idea what was coming his way.  He had managed to lose his mother from his line of sight and now he had no one to shadow and learn from. She had demanded that her offspring disperse from the nest weeks ago but he had been following her in secret to try and see how an adult survived in land like this. With her gone he had no real sense of direction and found himself descending from the highland...

Fresh to life, emerging in the watery slush of a fading winter, Drift was experiencing spring for the first time. Life was already tumultuous so far, hatching in an empty nest, avoiding half-starved adults and trying to scrape enough food together to fill her small belly. As the weather grew warmer the snow she had grown accustomed to was vanishing to reveal a brown-ish carpet of plants, weedy and deprived from the thick white blanket that had covered them. Drif...

Sear - Gold Rush 839 Words Sear trotted along a damp forested path.  Leaves and twigs snapped beneath his feet as he stepped through the mud as he moved ahead with purpose; he had somewhere to be.

Sandstorm, after scenting no predators on the breeze, allowed her hatchlings to follow her out of the cavern they using for shelter. Sandstorm herself didn’t mind staying out in the open, but with her little ones, she didn’t want to take the risk. Vanim was the last to emerge, and he carefully trailed behind his mother. He didn’t join his siblings in their rough...

Gatcha - Dam It (Seasonal Spring 2025)871 words Gatcha was excited for springtime - it meant that the world was about to come back to life on Isla Kela.  The winter had been moderate enough and Gatcha didn’t struggle much to find food or stay warm, although he did at times get bored.  Gatcha expectantly watched the snow slowly erode as the weeks passed, turning into a muddy slush along ...

                “Man. I don’t wanna have to tell him. He’s always like…such a buzzkill. He’s so angry.” Waverunner groaned, following behind his brother anyway as they walked upstream.                 “Well I asked for help last time and if I ask for help this time he’s probably going to want something. He’s going to want something anyway, he always does. But at least if you ask, it shouldn’t be too high of a price. In theory.” Riptid...
