The Tale of the Last Mage.
Starion Flame hated all mages. Most of this hatred came from when he got trapped in the never-ending fire set by mages to stop the mountain dragons of port Faar. That also gave him the nickname (which he hated but learned to accept) Starion Flame.
The upside of being trapped in the enchanted fire was that it gave him unearthly powers, too dark to be magic. Nobody knew quite what the powers were but nobody had or ever will possess. With these powers he could kill anyone, anywhere, anytime. But one day he went to far.
He only wanted to kill off all the mages in the kingdom but he underestimated his powers and killed every mage everywhere. Except Arias.
Arias of the friendly Golami village anticipated this and sent back his own wave. It was enough to save himself but no-one else. Sending this wave took away almost all his powers. This infuriated him and Starion and they have been arch-enemys ever since.
Meanwhile, halfway across the world
Another powerful wizard just finished the only thing that can weaken Starion, The Gemini plaque. The plaque has ancient runes carved into it and when they are said in Starion’s presence he will be temporarily weakened.
Because of the wave a crack opened up straight to hell and left a rather hellish lanscape between Arias and Starion. It is called the Empty Lands. It is very toxic and turned all the villages originally there into Souleater colonies. They moved to the edge of the empty lands where the Gemini Plaque was said to be in the Temple of Elsas.
This just made Arias’ quest even harder. He has to travel 387 miles around the empty lands and then through the souleaters land to get to Starion.
And this is where your quest begins.
Isaila
A long time ago the land of Nisaila was a happy place. The people lived peacefully, having parties and fishing and farming fresh strawberries.
One day in the small strawberry village of Isaila, known for it’s lush lettuces, marvellous mint plants, perfect pomegranates and pretty puddings, three children were playing in the strawberry forest. One of the children was an angel. The three kids came out of the forest, arms full of bright red strawberries.
When they were passing Pomegranate River one of the human kids fell into the river. The angel child jumped into the river in attempt to save his friend for drowning. An archer near by saw all this but he thought that the angel was trying to drown the human child. Aiming his bow, the archer feathered the angel child in the heart.
The angel kingdom was in an uproar. They waged war against the humans and stopped blessing the land and it started to die. The king of the Angels and the king of Nisaila came to an agreement. One human and one Angel would give their life to stop the war and save the land. The human gave her life, but the angel girl never showed up. No one has ever seen her.
The war continued, many losing their lives and family. Then one day a human stepped forward. This young girl offered to give her life up for the sake of peace….
wow, your’s is good Carolyn!

The Story Of Aduro
The land was dark and cold. A thick fog fell upon the village. Walking down to the great lake Jack could see the small eyes of a little girl peering out of the thin glass in a window. All of Aduro was asleep apart from Jack and the girl. The lake was smooth and so still he wanted to walk across it. Jack looked into the dark sky, all of it was black apart from the faint twinkle of stars millions of miles away.
Jack was tall, his hair was mousey brown and it hung just past his ears. He was strong and noble like all of the Adourin race.
Suddenly the tree began to shake, the water begun to ripple and small screams could be heard. Jack looked up where the stars and sky had been, now was the scaly, smiley, hard bodies of six COLOSSAL dragons!!
The dragons were terrfingly huge. The first one was a lot bigger than the others, it was a blue-ish green colour. The horns on the top of its head must have been a quarter of a meter long. All the other dragons were all about the same hight. Two of the small dragons were red and the other three purple. All with long horns!
Jack was stunned. He was spellbound, he could not take his eyes of them. After about a minute a horrific noise came from the biggest dragons mouth!
“Villagers of Aduro, we have come to live in harmony with your people!”
Eventually the mayor came running out of his cosy little house. He had to make a dission on the spot of wheather to let them stay or not? Jack was still bewhildered about all of this commotion. All of a sudden the villagers heard the mayor speak.
“Dragons who have travelled from the north feel free to live, work and stay with us, help us but do not turn against us!”
The villagers were stunned at this but they knew they had to live with it!
A year past. The grass in Adour was fresh and as green as ever, but not all was happy! The dragons had begun terrorising and burining passers by. Something had to be done! So the mayor called a meeting. All of the most respected villagers were invited, and Jack happened to be one of them!
The hall where the meeting was held was cold and drafty. It had a big stone table in the middle and all of the guests sat around it.
“Well what are we going to do about the dragons?” Anounced the mayor. All of the guest squabbeled and had conversations between them selfs. The finally decided they had to go!
Jack had volinteard himself to speak to the dragons. So he ventured out into dark night of Aduro. His journey to their cave on the outskirts of Aduro was creepy but he had to do it! When he got there he proformed a secret knock on the cave door. A loud,
“Come In!” Could be heard from the cave, so he went in.
“Eh..eh Mr Dragon I have to come to tell you that- Jack said stumbeling over his feet- that you are going to be banished from Aduro!”
The dragons gave a tremendous roar and blurted out firey flames.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY!!” A small dragon said hissing.
“You heard!” Jack tried to sound confident.
“NOO!!!” The dragons shouted stomping out of the cave rajing. They blew flames and smashed houses. Jack and the villagers are still destrot till this day!
The dragons left hours later and left Aduro burnt and covered in smoke! The villagers have heard the dragons plan another attack and Aduro needs your HELP!!!

Garth and the Capture of Gothira
“Idiot, blasphemer, son of Satan!” cried Rhoel throwing her goblin made silver ware at her servant.
“I’m so sorry my lady. It will never happen again!”
“Two right it wont you smelly rat faced demonic devil worshipper!!! GET OUT!!! YES THAT’S RIGHT AND NEVER DARKEN MY DOOR AGAIN!!!!!” And with that the little pixie ran out of the house! Once the pixie had left she burst into angry tears and began to mutter furiously under her breath saying things “I will get it” and “Lugh must die”
Far away in another world a powerful but friendly wizard was waking up to find a very small pixie sitting on the end of his four-poster bed. The little creature seemed to find the pattern of pansies and dragons on the hangings quite interesting.
“Hello little one. What can I do you for?” asked Lugh intrigued
“Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear! Are you the great Lugh ruler of all Gothira?” asked the little man going quite red in the ears.
“I am.” Said Lugh
“Then I am afraid you are in very grave danger!”
“Perhaps I could tempt you into dining with me?” said Lugh surprising him self more perhaps than the little man. So they dined and the pixie introduced himself as Gonal and said that the druidess Rhoel was planning to destroy the land of Gothira and take it for herself!
“ But how on earth is she going to do that as long as I am alive?”
“She plans to slay you herself sir!” said the little man starting to cry.” and its all my fault!”
“There, there gonal don’t fret, but how on earth could any of this be your fault?”
“Because I was her servant since she was but a child, sir and she asked me to get her the ring of all wonder and I got lost on the way and and oh-“he burst into tears into his consommé.
“Now stop that silly nonsense at once man!!!We must warn my guards and I will get the town crier out of retirement to first tell the village then after that give regular updates.” said lugh furrowing his brow.
Around a year later Gonal and Lugh were talking and said that they must bring in the last cramden baby to defeat rhoel and save the ring however it was destined to be hard as Rhoel had summoned many a dark creature to roam the once lush green valleys. Lugh got in touch at once with madam cramden to ask her permission to send her beautiful granddaughter (whom she raised after the tragic death of her parents) to help him in this time of need. She agreed to send Vila but on two conditions, she was to have an ally and she was to know nothing until she arrived. Two weeks later Vila cramden found her self talking to a winter wolf named Garth.
The Story Of Ecora
Far far away in the land of Ecora there was lots of happy animals. The sun always gleamed and the birds always sung. The clouds were always white and they never turned grey. The blue sky made the land brighter and more beautiful than it already was. The snow on the mountains shimmered all day and all night. Nobody ever got angry in the land of Ecora.
The owner of the land was called Larry and he was a very important bear. Infact he was a King. He had gained the land through family from his father who was once the king before he had passed away. But Larry’s cousin Kurt was jealous because he wasn’t even a prince never mind a king. So one day he decided he was going to change it. The land was going to be his and Larry was going to be dead.
Larry desperately needed help so one day a young girl came to help but she was very rude to Kurt. He attacked her by cutting her neck open and letting her bleed to death. Her dress was untouched so Larry kept it as it was a very rare dress that was worth a lot of money. He said that he would give it to the person who succeeds. He was hoping that this would attract more people to help him on his quest because it was a beautiful. It had a corset on the top and it had a skirt on the bottom. It was brown and if you look close you can see some very interesting details.
Someone out there needs to help, but who will it be and will they survive and gain the dress?
The Story Of The Magic Staff
Once upon a time in a land far away there was a village called Naes. Naes is a powerful village where everyone was happy. There are lots of magical creatures like dragons. In this village there was a powerful king called Sean. Sean is really nice because he organises parties for villages, village meetings to discuss what needs done to the village, he gives money to the poor and lots more beside. He is 56 years old. The king was in possession of a magic staff. It was so powerful that it could destroy 5 cities in one bang of the ground, everyone wanted it, every night everyone started to mob outside the castle. It went on for a couple hours every night. One night at about 12.00am there was a massive storm and all houses, animals’ humans and even the most powerful king (Sean) got blown away. -(The next morning) everyone in the village was normal, no one knew what happened.

Rodger
It all begins in the magical land Erac where everything was peaceful with nice lakes nice people and of course my character Mullac who was fair-haired with blue eyes and was always up for a challenge.
And one day that challenge came to him when one of the villagers was captured. That villager was no ordinary villager he had the 3 pots to world peace. The pots were very magical with pure silver in colour and many years ago a spell went on it by a wizard who handed it to the villager who was now the keeper of the pots but if they are in the hands of the wrong person the whole world will go into war.
So Mullac decided to go and find the villager in the bloody land called Lleh.
So Mullac went to his dwelling and got his weapons/bow and arrow and sword. So off Mullac went into the murky forest with his pony to the kings bloody land Lleh.
But Mullac did not know what was waiting for him.

ETROP. By Robyn
Long long ago – even before dinosaurs – there was a land called Etrop. It is said that it is called Etrop because the king Ekiin, who is a very caring deer, had a wife called this who sadly passed away because of a very serious illness. Ekiin was devastated and he was thinking for months and months. I need to find someway to help the land remember his amazing wife and their queen. All of a sudden he had a flash of inspiration. He decided that he would name the land after her majesty.
For a long time, the land lived in peace and harmony. For a whole 20 years everybody was absolutely fine until their enemy land – Radnelac – decided that Etrop should be theirs. The evil king – Tantrompi – sent over lots of evil wolves, bears, spiders and lots lots more. One night an evil rat snuck into Ekiins area and stole the protective amulet called diefrag. This protects the whole landso that you really have 5 lives. But all good animals have been killed. The only good fellows left were Ekiin and larenim. The only hope left is for Abigail to help. Thye quest is for you to retrieve the magical amulet. This mission could be easy but tantrompi has hid the amulet somewhere within Etrop. It is apparently hidden on the top of the tallest mountain but guarded by the most furosous animals ever seen. There is a special item within the quest but I am not telling you what it is. All I am telling you is that it will protect you and only you. BUT PLEASE BE QUICK
Eidilon - wizards flame
By Katherine
The fresh spring breeze flowed peacefully through Eidilon. People cast their golden fishing rods into large freshwater lakes below towering mountains capped with sparkling snow. The wolves ran through the lush forest of violet tinted pine trees hunting down their prey as the Redflame dragons watched over the land making sure all the people and the animals were safe and happy.
The day came when Eidilon got invaded by Kyo an evil wizard from Kenaru, a dark land to the North. Great armies of up to 10,000 Wyvern dragons flew silently through the dark star filled sky above Eidilon. When morning came they attaked the redflame dragons. Feet pounded and and fire filled the grey sky. The elf-faries started a fight with Kyo but they were all deead within 30 seconds. 19 redflame dragons were killed and Kyo put the sacred wolf temple under an evil shadow.
Illusean the long lost daughter of one of the elf-faries was chosen to go on a dangerous quest to restore the temple and save Eidilon.
Here’s the start of Jamie’s. Hopefully he will have time to type up more soon!
By Jamie
1000s of years ago there was one of the most deadly, treacherous and herofic battle of all time. There was two armies that fought against each other. The good army had a fair king who thought bravely and had an amazingly huge army of humans, elves, royal guards, and knights. The evil army had an extremely evil king who had an aggressive army of monsters, undead zombies, trolls and skeleton warriors.
Here is the first part of ‘Goldmine’
Goldmine
In another was a city called Goldmine. It was a small city with not a lot of buildings, but there were lots of snowy mountains. There was a very large castle beside my very deep lake, it was a grey stone building with lots of cracks and moss on it.

My Story by John
Once upon a time there was a nice peaceful village where there was no fighting no destruction and no one ever argued or worried.
The name of the village is the village of Trem.
There was a forest at the bottom of the village that no one ever went in or had been in. One day one man went in and he was never seen again. After that undead creatures started attacking the village and they set houses on fire and killed most of the villagers. Now all of the villagers stay in side their houses and the only people you will see now in the village is the royal guards.
There is 3 royal guards that charge into the forest and into the bad lands and defeat the evil king Goro,his evil army and his pet dragon.The other royal guards stay and guard the village.The 3 royal guards who fight are Jim,Paul and Bruce.

Zorn
by Dean Ballantyne
Once upon a time in a village called Zorn there lived a great king called Leonard. He had no brothers or sisters and his mum and dad died at a young age, but Leonard had one uncle who hated Leonard and hated his people and he was called Alexander Dubach. He had white hair and walked around with a Sword, but not just any old sword….
It was a magical sword and it only listen to somebody that is blood related. He got the sword from Leonard’s father when he past away but, there is one thing that Alexander has not told anyone was that Leonard’s father was killed by his own brother Alexander with Leonard’s fathers own sword. One day he said to himself ‘I will assonate Leonard and turn all his people into my slaves and I will rule over Zorn’.
So the next day he sent Leonard a letter and said that he was going to come and visit him and the letter said
Dear Grandson,
Leonard I am writing to say to you that I am coming to visit you in one weeks time I will be coming in my wooden carriage and if you are kind you would come and meet me in the forest because my men will need to leave me.
Goodbye see you in a week Love from your uncle Alexander
The thing was that Leonard had a son called Lawrence.
One week later…………
Leonard decide to go out and meet him in the woods, since it was a nice day he went early and he got there early but he just lay down on the grass and waited. As Alexander was walking with some of his men, since he had to leave his carriage at the begging of the woods if he wanted his plan to work. So when he was walking he saw Leonard lying on the grass then he shouted “Leonard” then he turned around and when he turned around Alexander shoot him through the heart.
Alexander then ran to Zorn and shouted the great king Leonard was dead. Then everyone started crying and shouting. Then everyone started to think who is going to be our king, and then Alexander said, “I will be your king but it means that I will have to move away from my home”. So all the village thought about it and they agreed.
So Alexander was all happy and cheerful because his plan was working.
His plan has been working for a year and he is only still king because nobody has the guts to stick up for there self. But one day he gets a letter from Lawrence the letter said
Dear father this is a message saying that I will be coming to visit in a couple of days time so I hope you are ready for me.
Then Alexander began to wonder how Leonard
Love from your son Lawrence
Had a son and nobody has told him .He thought what could he do then he had a brilliant idea he was going to tell the his great grandson that his dad was killed in the forest so he went with that.
So when Lawrence got there Alexander said that his father Leonard had died in the forest. Then Lawrence started crying, and then he wondered if his best friend was still living here so he went to his old street and knocked on the door and his best friend answered the door he said “how are you doing’ said Lawrence “not very good our new king killed your father and made all of us his slaves” said Lawrence’s best friend. ”ok that’s it I am going to kill him” then he pulled out his sword and marched up to the castle and killed Alexander from behind him and sliced his neck and the whole of Zorn lived Happily ever after.
