They called the cursed tower "#Hollowkeep". Every night, winged creatures of all shapes and sizes streamed out of its windows. They feasted on any living thing unlucky enough to be out on the streets, only to return before sunrise.

Until a group of adventurers decided to cleanse it.

He hears birds on the roof, an #undertone of hoots.

"Lot of owls at #Hollowkeep, huh?"

"Yes. They feed in #darkness, you know."

"Um. Cool?"

She smiles.

"Yes. Now turn off the lights, and let's get wicked."

When the sun rises, she's alone.

Sated.

As they wandered through the #feywild
Stepping over spores
Tasting the fruits of temptation
Wondering, was it real?
The Half-Elf and the Druid
Neither knew nor cared
For if the fey realm was a dream
It was a dream they shared

Rules are different in the #feywild. Let go of your preconceptions at the gate. They have their own agendas, their own ways of life. Do not be tricked by the beautiful landscapes or the mesmerizing music.

And never, EVER, eat any food that they offer you.

The seated fey laughed, and its sound was like that of silver coins falling. “She meant no harm.” The words dripped scorn, and I shivered both in fear and with a longing to see the fey again. “A mortal witch in a graveyard so near Samhain means no harm.” #VssFantasy

There's no #tomorrow in the #Feywild.

Only Once Upon A Time.

There are princesses, and wizards, and dragons. Here, fairy tales are real.

But not all fairies are good fairies.

Don't eat any apples. Don't touch any spindles.

And don't leave the path.

Oh. And have fun, okay?

#Ashenblade, the famous greatsword of the realm, had been missing for generations. The last great king held it as he rode to his last battle. No one knew where it was or what had become of it. As peace spread, it passed into myth.

Until a certain rusted sword turned up in my pawnshop.

#moonlit #vssfantasy #unearthly #vss365

Sauntering through the moonlit glade, ‘neath the silvery, unearthly glow, a coven mutters an incantation. Veiled from praying eyes, hands clasped, the siblinghood of sorcerers harbours refuge for their own, prepares ruthless retribution for vexing intruders…

A #moonlit night was the perfect time for her ritual. She sat alone in the grove. Fruit and flowers lay on the altar, the ritual knife and a pitcher of pure water between them.

She needed guidance from the Goddess, now more than ever.

Moonlit stroll for leisure
Autumn trees a pleasure
heard an unearthly scream
that old house off grid
a manly fellow came out
know what he did?
he shook with all his might
& said the network's down tonight

They called it the land of perpetual night: #Everdusk. The sun never rose, the sky forever wreathed in black and purple shades. Twisted plants glowed with bioluminescent light. The people pale as ghosts with sightless eyes and uncanny hearing.

It was a strange, eerie place.

It was called #Ironfang, the black scythe, the bane of ghosts and demons alike. They told her the curved blade was made of a special kind of iron that repelled dark entities.

"Does it banish them?"

"Only for a short time. A few centuries or so. It's all a matter of perspective."

The #cursebound book refused to open. She saw no visible lock, no leather bindings. The pages seemed to be glued together.

"Well, it seems someone doesn't want their secrets told," the wizard drawled. He knocked on the hard leather cover. "But we have ways to get it to talk, don't we?"

#Twilight. The fading beams of sun touched upon the #spire. It shimmered under protective shields. It was vulnerable for these few seconds, before night strengthened them.

The warlock uttered his spells. Cracks ran up the shields and they shattered as darkness came.

The astronomers predicted the #starfall to the second. A heavenly rain of comets crossed the sky. Families gathered on hills to admire the view. Kings and Queens observed from the safety of their balconies.

The stars continued to fall and soon they realized this was no ordinary event.

The night's deep blues and purples held a reddish tint. It was the #bloodmoon. Blood carried life and in a world where life was uncertain, all was permitted and shame was suspended for one night.

It was an ominous time, both blessed and cursed. Old magic held sway, misunderstood.

The fog of war obscured the battlefield, like a low-hanging #veil. It was pierced by the harsh clang of clashing swords, bloodcurdling screams, cannon bursts, the leathery rustle of dragon wings, and the crackle of savage magic.

The world was against them. They had no future together.

Quite the #conundrum. But she had a #plan.

So she took his hand, and they escaped to the past.

In the emptiness before #eternity, they found it.

Perspective.

And endless possibilities.

The #harvestmoon was high in the sky. All the villages celebrated the end of a harsh summer and the beginning of a cool autumn. All of their hard work to survive the coming winter.

The nobility depended on their bounty. Any failure punished them all.

The sight of the #cauldron brought him up short. The bubbling water, the aromatic smells...was this a batch of poison? A ritual incantation? A witch's brew? He took a closer look at the rich broth, tender vegetables and cuts of roast within it.

The old lady smiled. "Fancy a bowl?"

If you visit their family graveyard, you might encounter the #wraiths of spirits, dead long ago. One dressed in the armour when they buried him. One in an elegant ball gown, and a hole where her heart should be and her head under one arm.

They will tell you a tale of evil and magic.
