Wrote the first pages of a short story called 'Ever Fire' earlier... I think it's pretty neat.
It's pretty much about an 1800's style of westernized people who live in a huge town in the middle of a mythical forest. As one might assume, the 'mythical' forest is overrun with creatures of lore and most aren't too friendly with the human town (which is called 'Auberwood' by the way)
So the people of Auberwood built this giant wall completely surrounding the town. The only way out is the grand gate that was once open for vendors and travelers but has since been sealed shut.
The story follows Emily Green, a 10 year old girl of Auberwood. She contracts a fatal disease that the towns doctor has no cure for and is banished from Auberwood, for fear that others might catch her disease. Emily is left alone in the forest to die of her disease or be killed by some sort of creature.
But there's still hope for the child. A dear friend of hers called Ebony tells her about a flower called the 'Ever Fire'. Consuming a petal of the flower is supposed to cure any illness or wound. But the whole flower, when consumed, can grant eternal life. So it's very violently fought over and searched for.
Emily begins a journey to find the Ever Fire that eventually lead her to running with a forgotten Faerie King, a dishonored Knight, twin Brownies, and an old Gwin.
It's been awhile since I did a simple adventure type story... This is gonna be fun~<3
