Take it your way
Write me a story where an ancient creature - mystical, magical, mythical, legendary, alien - transforms into a human for the first time. The setting is a low-fantasy modern world without an established paranormal/supernatural community.
The Newcomer
You’re a green witch helping a town grow as it overcomes its most recent drought… You’re having a lovely day aiding the townsfolk, until a lonesome warlock stumbles into town, broken and battered. As you attempt to help him, you find he has marks insinuating that he practiced necromancy.
What would you do next?
A whisper away
Write about a character who took the blame for someone else and faced the consequences willingly. In the end they either wanted to protect the culprit or didn't say anything because of fear. It can result in death, torture, humiliation, eviction e.c.t. Please no explicit content.

The stories that keep us awake
I can’t be the only one who creates entire novel series in my head before falling asleep right?
So I would like to see what other writers come up with in the wee hours of the night, while desperately trying to sleep. Write about the story (or stories) that keep you from falling asleep at night. You know, the ones you come up with while you’re trying to fall asleep. With the overly complicated plot line, amazing characters, and awesome adventures. The one that you’ll have to remember to write down tomorrow morning, but you never do. What’s the fantasy story that you create in your head that keeps you from falling asleep, because you NEED to finish the story before you can rest.
MINIMALIST FANTASY
Ever wrote a minimalist fantasy???
I realized I've not posted my fantasy works (except one) on the site because I tried to make it minimal. You know, like less magical descriptive words but still retained a sense of fantasy in it.
So I dare you to write one cause I couldn't...for now lol.
[[For the world building hmmm... Low fantasy or Urban fantasy will do. Maybe something that has to do with a mysterious lake and what miracle and cursed things it does, and a flower, an alive conscious flower, a rarely seen one with an ability to disguise itself and maybe another hidden ability. It's prominent features were being red and it can pull it's own roots so they can move freely on land but they only stay were there are a lot of overgrown vegetation.
It will start with a village's annual feast for commemorating their self-proclaimed guardian deity—the so called 'flower', and the main character would be the new head priest who will preside over the feast—but has a secret. The story itself will only revolve around the village and the forest that surrounds it. (Kinda influenced by an eastern fantasy theme)]]
I feel like I made it harder when I started adding details but I'll try posting this anyway XD. You can just choose one of what I've mentioned if it's too much for the minimalistic theme though. I'll slowly read your works if you guys decided to make an entry. XDD

Being a creator is a gift you posses. how about a challenge.
Creativity is an advanced act. A short imaginary story about a sleepers legacy. (sleepers are people/ different kinds of individuals who walk out of their bodies at sleep time and turn into supernatural beings). create an imaginary event of such a protagonist being the only one left from her kind. would be haunted by someone.
(practically in my imagination, my sleepers are invisible when walking and can only be seen by certain special beings who i call spotters.)

You just woke up and realized that the world suddenly isn't the world you knew. The world where humanity is divided into 5 groups: Reds, Yellows, Blues, Greens, and Whites. You were placed into one of those groups and were forced to complete the mission based on that group you were put into.
What are the characteristics of each group: Reds, Yellows, Blues, Greens, and Whites. What group were you placed into and what was the mission you were given? What is the big twist that happens in this adventure?
Please give it a title and finish the story!
