Mystik of the Woods

Was feeling a little dark and was playing around with layers.

Mystik was once an elven princess secretly granted the power to love like a human unlike any other. The day she felt love was the day her life turned to shambles. She fell in love with a handsome man, a sweet, loving man, a human. Her people disowned her for doing so as it was against tradition to associate with another kind; she was told to forget him but their love was too strong to tear them apart. Stricken with anger her father, the leader of their clan, cursed the man who took his only daughter away. Mystik tried helplessly to lift the curse but it took him in its clasp and did not let go. After his death Mystik , blinded by anger and sadness, placed a curse on herself that she would forever wait for her love to come back to her, she quickly succumbed to the curse beside his lifeless body and emerged an eternal spirit. Mystik roams around the small pond where she and her love died trying to forget that dreadful time but she can not lift the curse she put on herself. She waits eternally for her love to find her, for he may be the only one who can save her from this curse.

Just a little project...

So I needed to make a photo for a *cough cough* competition *cough cough* for lw *cough*
It'll be up on the forums soon, anyways. Here it is.
Yes, I am aware this is a very cheesy story but *shrugs* whatever. Never thought of myself as being a fantasy writer so whats the point in making a good one? xD

Gabriella, a simple wood workers daughter, went out for a stroll around the little shop in the woods. While in the midst of humming her favourite melody, a Prince strode up on a magnificent white horse; this being rather unusual Gabriella stopped mid hum and looked over at the handsome man. 'My lovely maiden, I have found you.' the Prince jumped off his horse and knelt in front of Gabriella, kissing her hand as if she were a Princess. 'I have searched these woods far and wide to find a beautiful woman by the name of Gabriella. I have been told this woman is far beyond beauty, it must you.' Dumbfounded, Gabriella was at a loss for words. Surely he wasn't talking about her, she was just a wood workers daughter, not a woman a Prince would seek. 'H-how do you know of me? I seldom talk to strangers nor do I know anyone of royalty.' she stuttered. 'Your father works for the King and has told many a story about his guilt for you. He wishes you lived in a grander place, he believes you deserve the finest things. He has told me of your beauty and your sweet nature; I could not resist. Come with me to my castle, come live the life you deserve.' he stood, lightly holding Gabriella's hands, and smiled. Her mind swirled, the earth beneath her seemed to spin. Was what he spoke of the truth? Did her father truly have guilt for the life she lived? Gabriella shook her head not knowing what to do, she couldn't leave her father to live in these woods alone but she so desperately wanted to foresee what a castle looked like. As a child she dreamed of living in one, living as a Princess with her handsome Prince always by her side, now this dream was becoming a reality and she did not know if she should take the offer. 'What about my father?' she asked looking back at the little shop. 'I shall give him a home and a large shop in the middle of town, he shall live like a King.' the Prince smiled again. Gabriella smiled and nodded grasping the hand of her handsome Prince. She lived with Prince Farius for the rest of her life in their grand castle, her father worked in peace, without any guilt for his only daughter, and was treated like a King; just as the handsome Prince promised.

A Sacrifice for Middle Earth

As Princess Anetha hid from her pursuers the gods began to weep for their dying world; darkness surrounded it like a veil that could not easily be destroyed. Anetha knew what had to be done, a sacrifice for her world, for her people of middle earth to live free of the evil that now hunted them. She took a deep breath as the magic surrounded her, freeing her very spirit into the unseen world. The evils that once reined over the world of light dropped like stones onto the cold wet earth stricken by the magic Anetha released. The good people of middle earth will never know the sacrifice their Princess made for them, forever they will plunder on the sudden extinction of evil and pray it never comes back.
