I found a fun prompt generator that you can use to give me prompts, this is for everyone, but I might not do romance stories, maybe, depends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted November 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Thank you all for the prompts! It's however going to be a while before I can get to them.

Lotus Blossom she/her Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Writing prompt if anyone wants to procrastinate: "Why don't you come in?" "Alright. Where were you again? Ah yes, the story of the young woman. Please, continue." "Turning the corner, she saw it. It was them. They were back. And they had killed him. But she had died long before that. Long before she met them. Long before he died. And now she was out to finally destroy them... I know what you did, Ixtal. There's no running away from it now." "Wh-h-How-" The woman in front of him removed her cloak. Ixtal's face whitened and his eyes grew wide. It was Nurku. She was supposed to be dead. And he was supposed to have killed her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I finished this one earlier today and it was a rollercoaster. A good one though and I hope you all enjoy it. #10 Admit it Spoiler The pain is always there, lurking beneath the surface. A shark, ready to consume me the moment I fall beneath the surface. So I swim, struggling stroke to stroke to just stay above the water. I know what happens when you go under. Last time I had a friend who pulled me up, still have the scar to prove it. I can feel the island, still a mile away. Is it, is it getting further away? I can't tell anymore. All I know is the swim, backstroke, front stroke. That's all I've ever known. I was never taught the butterfly stroke, nor the weird chicken-airplane-soldier. I've heard of others who know such techniques and they coast by me. Leaving me, struggling to stroke as waves crash over me. Water clogging my lungs. I don't know how long I have left. I just keep stroking to the fading pulse of my heart. Following in the wake of my friend's boat. My vision tunnels to the white wake of crashing waves and my sea spray soaked shirt. The sharks lurk closer as my strokes fade and I question the futility of this exercise. Don't I already know this? Can't I just not suffer anymore? I see my friends stroking beside me, waves far greater than mine breaking over them. The waves are endless, eternal, constantly pushing me towards the bottomless depths, towards the dark. My arms tire and begin to stop stroking, "perhaps, perhaps it is better to just give up and end this infernal quest. I know that I can't make it to the end." I turn my eyes downward, towards the murky depths. Slowly I begin to sink below the waves, when a hand shoots forth and steadies me. I cast my eyes upward to behold my savior standing there. A kindly smile splits his face as he helps me up and gives me a hug. "You know who you are, where you came from, why you are here, and where you must go. Let your light shine forth so that others may see." I grin, a face cracking smile and respond. "That I can do, I will share your love. I will not let another think they are alone when they are not." The vision ends and I start swimming once more. For from that hour, peace bound up my broken heart. The peace in the knowledge that everything would be alright in the end. That I would one day reach the shore, and be greeted by all those who went before. @CalanoCorvus @Shining Silhouette @That1Cellist @Ranryu @InfiniteInsanity @Witless of Shinovar Edited February 27, 2023 by The Wandering Wizard 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted April 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Some poetry that I've been writing to get the feelings out lately, though Shatter Me is an older one Shatter Me Spoiler Shatter me Tear me down Shove me to the brink Toss me over Send me careening into the depths of Fear Loneliness Depression Suicide Take my fear Rip it Twist it Grow it into vines Strangle me in the fear of Myself Love Laughter Joy The Light Living Take my bridges Shatter them Rip them Set them on fire Leave me stranded when the storms come Alone Alone Alone Send the storms Hide me from sight in their embrace The smothering blackness Let it seep inside Choke out the light Let the rain freeze, me The lightning strike, me I don't care Anymore Anymore Anymore Take me to the eye of the storm Show the bleakness before The utter darkness to come Shove me into the darkness Show me there is no other choice No other way There never was any light, only darkness That this is the only option, to end it on my terms It’s time to say goodbye There never was another way Never Never Never Shatter Me, God Grind my bones under pestle and mortar Flay me past death Send me into the Abyss So that I can truly See Learn Grow Change Help Hope Love Break this tainted glass Rip out the blinders Obliterate my perfect little world Crumple me with pain O how did I not see it before Cries my soul As I truly see for the first time Their fear Their pain Their struggles Send me their pain Make me their rock Dump it all on me Watch it shatter me Overwhelm me to paralysis Bring back my demons Start to drag me under once more How do you help How How How Send me deeper Shatter me some more Set the world upon my shoulders Keep a steadying hand nearby as I fall Catch the world and put it back Show me that I can Encourage Support Help Teach Shatter me So that I can help Tear me down So I can grow back stronger Shove me to the brink So I can see them Toss me over To save them Send me careening into the depths To bring them back Fear Open your eyes Loneliness You are never alone Depression I am here Suicide Give a hug There is light Help Hope Love Beauty I have sent you Spoiler I have sent you Is the only answer I’ve got The tears still run down my face As I ask why The answer comes again And my soul cries out WHY WHY ME The answer is not slow nor quick to come Yet to me it seems an eternity To quench the pain of my aching soul As I quietly sob, HELP THEM, PLEASE HELP THEM At last the answer reaches me Yet still my soul does not still Though I have received my answer I know my skills I know what I have been given It does not seem enough It never seems enough I have failed Utterly Completely And this still stings my soul Even as I have my answer Even as I know Even as I know that they should have been enough But they were given to me Not another Not one who could use them Not to one who knows Not to one who cared to develop them before they were needed I have failed And yet And yet I feel his peace I feel his hand rest on my left shoulder I can FEEL it And the peace speaks to my soul Honest Truthful And I still cry Though the tears have changed And I hope for the better Remember Spoiler Remember Remember who you are What you mean to me Remember The words cut through my soul Lay bare some of my deepest fears And wonderfully Magically They assuage it They calm them Remove some fears completely And I wonder at the power The power of these simple heartfelt words Remember who you are Remember what you mean to me Fear Spoiler Fear Fear consumes It destroys Gnawing at the roots Of my peace Destroying any comfort that existed before I care And so it hurts When I fear for them When it seeks to strangle me It clouds my vision Darkens my view My perspective Blinding me to truth I would not have it any other way But this fear Is all consuming All destroying How can any stand against it? How is it possible? Why? Why? Why? I know the answer But it brings no comfort For I fear for them Never for myself And that Makes it all the more painful And gives it power over me And thus it is all the more powerful And I can not shake it Edited April 17, 2023 by The Wandering Wizard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted April 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Case point, have some more poems Thief Spoiler In the night There is a being One who is most vile Who lowers others Like unto himself He comes and steals All the good things The good thoughts The good memories All of my friends Feelings Emotions Cackling he replaces them With numbness Worthlessness Doubt Fear Terror His grip is strong His thoughts hold sway Unshakeable Unbreakable Dominating The terror crumples Into numbness Into tear Into terror The cycle begins again Dominating Unbreakable Unshakeable Invisible Spoiler When you wander the halls do you see them? Do you see their pain? Do you even care? Do you see the kid against the wall? The people crying in the halls? Their strained smiles? Their ever present fear? Do you? The world is a terrible place So stay in your bubble Your safe place Leave them in the storm Leave them for the wolves Let life destroy them The storms take them Don’t care about them But I will I see them I as one of them I just wish to help Yet I am just a broken Torn apart by life By fear And pain And anguish Paralyzed by feeling Sent into numbness And none of them see None choose to see None care, except those who are not there Those I wish around me every hour Can never be around long enough Or never at all The double-edged sword Spoiler I was given a sword Never told what kind it was Always I assumed it was A single-edged sword ‘ It cut away at the brambles Cut away at their foes Allow me to see them To help them To care deeper than I ever did before And I was happy for the gift Grateful Amazed Excited Ready to explore Felt I could take on anything I could do anything Until Until I couldn’t Until the emotions began to drown me Then the war turned against me I began losing battles Began to go numb even as I won a few Began to lose to the darkness Once again I thought I was at the top of a mighty hill With a single-edged sword Turns out I was in a pit With a double-edged sword With a double-edged sword 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Random Lara(ulen) and Aero scene my brain decided to write! Hehe, my hopeless romantic brain loves them so much <3 Spoiler Lara's feet tapped to the beat of the fight, the air guiding her steps as she danced around the fire. Her opponent grinned and slashed his sword through the fire, sending a bar of fire racing at her. She swiftly dodged to the side of the fire and slapped the air with her dagger, pushing it to slap his face. Do you yield? Liltingly signed Lara. I could slap you all day. "Of course you could," grunted Aero. Shaking off the slap, he raised his head and Lara noticed a small cut where she'd slapped him. She flinched slightly as the past tried to resurface and the unease flowed through her body, distrupting her flow. The next bar of fire raced towards her and she narrowly dodged this time. Growling she felt the air around her, the air that flowed through her daggers, causing them to whistle. They were a natural extension of her body, she, the knife, and the air were one. Casting off the uneasy she jumped through the air, leaping over the campfire. Her daggers whistling in the air around her, hovering around her as her protective wings. Aero had only two swords against her hail of daggers, he was quick, lightning quick. But she was quicker and slipped a knife past his guard, letting it hover at his throat. Grinning she signed, do you give in now? "Not yet love." Cooly replied Aero. Swiftly he brought his sword up and smacked the dagger away. Instinctively she pushed the second one into his neck, barely stopping herself from drawing more than just a little blood. She froze, seeing a little child in front of her. The child looked up and smiled at her, showing her a flower she'd found. She was outside her body watching, helpless as the emotionless Thorn pushed the knife into the child's neck and she fell. "It's okay," the words felt distant to her. "I've got you." The arms tightened around her, their warmth spreading through her. "It's alright Laraulen. I've got you." Lara rested her head on his chest and cried. She listened to the quiet murmurings of Aero as he held her tight and slowly drifted off. The memories fading, their horrors failing to haunt her dreams. As they always did in his arms, the safest place in the world. Where nothing could haunt her but his love. @CalanoCorvus Edited April 27, 2023 by The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
