Seasonal Prompts

Brunhilda & Loke | Kapro 382 Words The muted brown oviraptor with a darker belly was happily trotting along, heading out of Atlantis with her brown, spotted brother Loke by her side. She was going to introduce him to her girlfriend, Muffin, and then had plans to show her around her previous home in Atlantis. Moving out of there had been bittersweet, but she k...

“It’s cold!” The complaint was carried on a meek voice, high pitched and squeaky, a mix between a baby bird's chirp and a complaining toddler. The owner of the voice was obviously young and, unlike the siblings he was playing with, he did not have a dune feather covering. The gray cryo shivered again when another breez...

High up. Amazingly so. The world didn’t seem big when you looked down upon it from the mountain side. Seeing it from the perspective of ground level was simply not the same as watching the world from a higher up place. At ground level it seemed as if there was no way they could ever get to the other side of the valley. But watching it from the top made the valley they had crossed to get to the mountain seem so much smaller.  ...

An inferno. The fire climbed high as it roared throughout the forest. There were cracking from trees as the high pressure and temperature as they fought with all their might to withstand the heat. Many trees had already cracked and fallen. A lot of them had cracked at half their length. The thuds as they hit the ground echoed in the fires loud roar, it made it sound as if there was a thunderstorm outside the hellish orange landscape that was in front of the thre...

"A beautiful night for it," the crested Cryo said placidly, staring up at the stars. "A cold night for it," the piebald Utah interjected. "It isn't that cold," the spotted Alberto scoffed, earning him a scowl from the smaller carnivore. "We should be going," Gildír continued, like they hadn't been interrupted at all, "Come along...

It happened so fast. The flames rising, engulfing the treetops. Creating walls of impenetrable red flames that seemed to touch the sky. All three of them could hear their fathers on the other side despite the roar of the growing fire. Ashqua, his bright yellow brother, tried screaming back to their parents on the opposite side of the fire but the winds threw up dust and sot into his face causing him to cough instead. How could Öreis scream so loudly on the othe...

Knowing how deeply obsessed her sister was with humans, Kisse was just as surprised as Dexter when Roswell turned down his invitation to explore the Alpha Labs. She had come along anyway, of course, because they were a trio at this stage and being parted felt odd. Still, she took no notes, no observations of the various human mechanisms they passed by as they worked their way down. Dexter was the opposite, peering into every cupboard he could open and leafing th...

Dacia sat nervously in front of the two court members as they assessed her offerings. The pile of red peppers sat innocently in the light, their banana shapes glistening under the false lights of Atlantis. They somehow seemed different here, their rosy charm amongst the leaves diminished to the plastic gleam of their waxy skin lying flat on the grass. She chanced a look up at Jasper and Clemmons, the two court members that were processing her offering, and saw t...

Island Kela is known as the mild island of the isles; its volcanoes are dormant and lava flows restricted to its more active neighbor island Pera. It may have been a discarded piece of glass acting as a lens, stray ashes and cinders making their way to dry foliage, or one overzealous pyromaniac, but the wildfire took everyone by surprise. The forest was just smoldering at first, thin veils of light smoke rising to the sky in one moment, but it grew hungry and destructive within minutes...

The labs contained a wealth of knowledge hidden in their wretched bowels and knew he must brave them to further his understanding of the human menace. He knew very few scholars of humanity that could also read their runes, so he frequently descended alone into the old halls. The sight of the preserved specimens were familiar by now, and where once they had frightened him he now greeted them as old friends. It couldn't hurt to pay a modicum of respect to such for...
