It all began with an teenaged human.
His name was Sprout. He was a druid.
In the poor village of Teyale, everyone had a place.
Sprout's mother was an Alchemist, and his father had died before he was born.
But Sprout didn't want to stay in this town. He wanted to set off and make a name for himself. An Adventurer.
He always had liked plants. Whenever he strolled through the forest, he would admire the beautiful nature, and simply basked in it. He even had carved himself a staff of Oak, and began to learn the magic of Druids.
At least, until THEY attacked...
While walking through the forest one day, working on a bow and some arrows, he heard a crash. Quickly climbing a tall tree, he saw Teyale, burning. He heard screaming, and he watched as shadowy troops stormed the village.
He panicked, and quickly drew his flimsy unfinished bow and his only arrow, nocked it, and let it fly. He watched it fly... and strike the shadowy men's leader down in a single blow. The others, filled with anger, burned the entire village down before his eyes...
He ran.
He ran all the way to the bridge where an old family friend lived... and that is where our story begins...

As Sprout ran to Mysticstar's house, he refused to look back. All that destruction... it was too much for him.
When he reached Mysticstar's humble... mansion, he stared at the river that seperated the mansion from the rest of the landmass, and at the bridge that offered the only pass over it. He sighed, and rang the doorbell- an interesting little contraption Mystic's boyfriend Mechana rigged up one day.
Promptly, the floor fell from under him.
"AUUUUGHHGHHGHHHHRATHSSHSHAUUGUAU!!!!" Sprout screamed as he started sliding down a chute to who-knows-where.
Mystic had always been a little eccentric, but THIS was certainly a little too much...
Finnally, the chute dropped out into a dimly lit cellar filled with various wines and other beverages. There was also a note on the winerack...
Sprout looked at it in the dim lamplight, but couldn't figure out the weird language. Pocketing it for the moment, he looked around for the exit, but it appears that the only passageway was the hole in the ceiling where the chute dumped him out.
"Gah... this mansion is so weird... I suppose that's what I get for being friends with a mage I suppose." Sprout said to himself. He sighed, and leaned against a barrel of dwarven ale, which, pushed itself out of the way on a conveyor belt and revealed a trapdoor.
Sprout blinked for a moment, and opened it, proceeding into the dark beyond.... well, it was dark for a moment, but as sprout neared the bottom of a spiral staircase, the entire place was illuminated by a blueish glow. It suddenly got very cold, and Sprout turned around slowly... to come face to face with a large, angry female blue dragon in a cage.
Sprout blinked for a moment, but that was all he had, as the dragon inhaled, and breathed frosty ice breath on Sprout, sealing him in a cage-like block of ice. His body immediatly numbed over and he watched as a blurry figure pushed the ice into the dragon's cage, before he completely passed out...
* * *
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SHIPMENT IS GONE?!?!" Mechana screamed as his friend Nemaru told him about yet another shipment of supplies from overseas had been lost...
"Mech, I think it would be better to stop sending shipments overseas until we get this problem solved.." Nemaru whimpered. Mech was rather drunk at the moment- when he had realized that his last barrel of oil was actully dwarven ale, he decided to see how much of it he could chug in one go.
Sadly, it was all of it.
"GRAHH!!...hic!" Mech drunkenly shouted. "Wesh needsh tosh shtop theshe dishapearenshes beforesh wesh gosh intosh debtshsh..."
He then proceeded to vomit on the floor of the port tavern he was staying at with Nemaru, and fall unconsious. Nemaru sighed and sipped his tea. They were in the port town of Furtren supervising a fleet of transport ships bringing engineering supplies over to a smallish island somewhere south of the human continent. Mechana was planning on creating a massive engineering tower with mechanized lifts, turrets, and other things as a fortress and home for him and his friends and girlfriend. For some reason, however, the ships bringing the stone and metals over to it have been mysteriously vanishing, the crews never to be seen again.
They needed to find some adventurers to go out with them and see what's going on, but so far, with noone wanting to go out there and Mechana's girlfriend Mysticstar stopping communications, it wasn't looking too good...
* * *
Sprout was cold. Very very cold. It was dark, too... he had a massive headache and was very very damp. The memory of what had happened was firmly set in his head. He had been frozen by a dragon and then he passed out.
A sharp pain in his head made him jerk up, and he saw where he was. He was in a small cage, where he barely had any room to lie down in, with tight metal bars obscuring the only exit- the top. In addition to that, there appeared to be a large female dragon's underbelly obscuring the top as well. There was nesting material on the bottom of his little cage so it appeared that he was in a small niche underneath the dragon's nest. He felt around around found that the walls were very uneven- it looked like a hole in the floor, instead of being sealed up, was remodeled into a holding cage. The question was, why was he being held there...? The floor had a rather large pool of water in it from the melting ice, mixed with.. something else.... he smelled it, and it appeared to be some kind of potion.... suddenly, he felt very sleepy... he laid his head down on the only part of the cage to not be wet, and fell asleep...
* * *
Kira was uneasy. Her mistress, Mysticstar had instructed her to freeze and capture any intruders, and eat them if she wanted. But this strange person she had encountered gave off a large aura. As a dragon, she was able to sense these things, but it was strange for her to see one down here... she was unsure what to do.. eating him might cause big problems, (people with aura that strong give dragon indigestion) but she was hungry... she sat up off of the cage that the strange druid was in, and made her choice... |

Can you please refrain from posting your life story, or your character's life story on the thread? I will make a section where you can brag about Sprout tonight.
Thanks,
Developer

I was writing fiction... Mech doesn't have a story section up so I put it here. I do this every time Mech makes a game... oh yes, and who the heck are you?
But yeah, Mech enjoys reading my stories and if you have a problem with it, talk to Mech. |

Neat story. Good luck with further writings. I see you'll find the Quill-and-Parchment approach of the Scribing skill to be to your liking. Combined with the Entertainment skill, you could be incredibly successful.
