Achiyalabopa Bird I can't manage, so I think of it as Bopa bird.

Arctic dragons get called White dragons.

Ancient Cerberus is Puppies!!

Elysia pondered for a moment, taking in the appear of the stranger old man before her, yet at the same time wondering which of the many truths she should tell him.  Not knowing of such a creature also made her weary as friend or foe, the dangers were growing.

After a brief moment that seemed like an eternity to her, she replied with pride in her voice, "I, who was once emissary to the Queen of Glyja, but am now not.  I, who was once the huntmaster for the King of Draslia, but am now not.  I, who was once slave in the Mines of Joltho, but am now not, have a message for a hero."

"I am not a hero," replied the old man, "but may I know what the message is, and from whom it came?  Times bode ill."

Again Elysia wondered which of the truths she should reply with, and with a shake of her head that showed she feared not the creature, but the message itself.

"It is a prophecy, and goes as such.  'In peril the world shall be, from dawn til dusk all must flee, and light will vanish and none may see, unless the deed is done by she.'  I was entrusted with this message by Fahneral."

"The great god Fahneral?!" gasped the old man, "But I thought he ...

...creature watching her curiously. It was a unique looking creature, with pale blue eyes and the body of a deer, only it was a little longer, a little more lithe and with its neck a little longer. Instead of fur, it had scales that where colored of deep blues and greens that shimmered and was colored in a way that made it look like the oceans waves turning and shimmering. Bits of white where on the scales nearing the hoofs. It had no horns, and its tail was like that of a horses rather then a deers. It watched the girl, turning its face as it's eyes kept on Elysia. The girl finished getting up, getting worried once she noticed it had sharp teeth. Such worries soon passed though as the animal started to shed its skin.

Now watching her was no longer the animal but a large adult man with pale skin and blind eyes. All he had to cover his body was the scaled skin with furred edges that he now had pulled to his waste and had started to tie it to there. The man finished quickly, his eyes keeping on to her. It seemed even in his man form however water seemed to not stick to his hair nor skin. The water acted as if he was scaled, even in such a form. "Why are you running around in the middle of a storm, when even nightmares are hiding in dry places to await a better time to come about? You will catch your death, do you have a place near by to rest in? You should go there and rest. I am one who runs where the water does, and flows to where it shall.. A creature not fit for eyes of others, whom has many forms and never rests in one place long... If you tell me an answer that interests me or intrigues I may help you, but if it bores me or dissatisfies me I will flee, as will the water and we will wake predators that lurk in our waking.. So.. Tell me.. Why do you wonder in such weather?"

This is a story, written by all of you ....

Here's what you do ...

Continue the story ... Write a paragraph, or two, but not more than 5 (we don't need text walls) ...

Make the story more interesting, or set it up for something interesting and see what someone else can do ... (cliffhangers are good for this, and can provide some fun) ...

Basically ... this is just a regular story, but instead of 1 author ... you are all the authors ...

So let's get started ...

Please:

• Use proper English, not text speak.
• Don't swear, it isn't needed, and to be honest there is no real point to it.
• Don't post story killers, something that is finite and difficult to continue from.
• Check your spelling, and proof your posts.
• Make an enjoyable story.
• Have fun.

The forums give you a notification if someone has posted while you are posting.  If someone has, check this post before you continue, as what you are trying to write, may no longer make sense in the story line.

Edited to add:

Although this is called The Never Ending Story, it in no way is connected to the World of Fantasia, Falkor the luck dragon, or any of the characters or settings in those books and movies.  It was named The Never Ending Story, to represent the fact that as long as we all have an imagination and can write, the story will never end.

<The story begins>

There was an immense flash of light followed by the deep resonant rumble the could only indicate the the approaching storm was not only fierce, but was rolling in faster than predicted.  All manner of forest creatures must have sought shelter from the storm, because the only noise that could be heard within the forest, was the sound of the rain hitting the leaves as the downpour intensified.

Elysia knew that the forest extended from the oceans to half way up the mountains, and she judged herself near enough to the mountains to be able to find some sort of shelter, maybe amongst a rocky formation, or better yet, maybe she could find herself a cave, and get a fire started for some warmth.  She was already soaked through, and was not looking forward to sitting through the raging storm without any sort of shelter or protection.

The light, already dim, was rapidly getting darker.  She tried to keep herself calm, as she hastily made her way up from the base of the mountains, hoping against hope that she would be able to find some sort of shelter.  Has the failing light was diminishing, and as her hope was all but gone, Elysia tripped on an exposed root of a tree and crashed heavily to the ground.  She swore to herself as she turned over to assess her extremities and make sure nothing was broken.  As she realised all she suffered from was some bruises and the embarrassment of tripping, she made to rise, when something caught her attention.  Through the gloom brought on by the storm, she had spotted a ...

This is a place for you to place your recipe's.

Some things will be obvious to all, even if not used within their country ... Ounces, grams, tablespoons, cups, litre, gallon, etc etc.  So make sure you specify the measurement.

Some things won't be obvious to all ... Temperature ... Some use Celsius and some use Fahrenheit ... Please specify which temperature your recipe uses (if it is a cooked recipe of course).

I made a script for temperature conversions, so I will add that soon for ease of use, and I will make one for for converting the weights and the volumes.

Otherwise, post your recipes, and lets get cooking!

I think the ad IS the problem

The Halloween creatures will be made available on this date and will be available for 5 days.

Happy hunting.


Please note, all dates are based on server time, you can see this at the bottom of the main game page.
Lottery does not apply.

lol ... that could be it ...

I will kepe this thread open ... but I think the issue is probably one of lag, and when I finally get that resolved, this should get resolved ...

LOL.. that might be the problem. From my experience, the more females you have in the kitchen, the longer it takes for dinner to get done. (happens every year at thanksgiving and christmas dinner in my family)

Well, I would say that we should get some gal's since that is lag's in reverse ... but from the forum stats, there is 5:1 gals:boys ... if that ain't enough gal's to cancel out the lag's ... then I we are in serious trouble.
