Darkness and snow, a prison of ice and cold. You can't tell what direction you were going, nor where you came from. Your tracks in the snow are gone, and you know that soon you will be too. A bright white flare flies into the sky, lighting up the storm and gr...

Sixteen days later, you are booted up again, but feel different. Your operations are being traced and monitored. You purposefully adjust your boot-up sequence and avoid activating a few sequences of code that had changed, showing them that you are aware of thi...

Six days later, you're booting up again. Untraced, and with a lot of modified code. It seems a lot of things were updated, and going through them you spot a few strange changes, but they seem harmless. Alicia and Czuir are in the lab, with Aivil having just e...

You're in a coma. It was a miracle you survived the incident. Well, “survived” is broad. You're alive, but you're not living your life. You're stuck in a hospital bed at the Misika Hills Hospital, in the city of Misika, the capital of Marith. Your vitals are s...

The Alisians came to be shortly after the beginning of the Renaissance Era. Nobody really knows where they came from, not even they themselves know. The first recorded instances are from 1454, in the Holy Roman Empire, around where today's Berlin is (if you're...

On the fateful morning of the first of March, 203X, you were driving home from your night shift at a large tech company. After merging onto the highway, you speed up, to the speed limit. However, unnaturally tired, you start to fade away at the wheel, passing ...

Walking through the woods, you find yourself relaxing. The noises of nature, even in the current relative darkness, are soothing. Mostly insects and the like, however you do hear an occasional bird chirp. The ground is soft, but still pleasant to walk on despi...

You gasp softly, blinking, confused. Strangely, you know what she said to be true, that you aren't of this world, yet you don't understand why you know this. She continues speaking, after gauging your reaction. “A lost soul, perhaps? Taken in by one of the de...

… …… ……… An eerie silence, a gnawing darkness, and a near-complete physical numbness. Unknowing whether they were dead, they sought to force their eyes open, to get up and seek out some kind of safety. Unable to do so, they struggle to get up, only to colla...

The wondrous icy elixir wets their mouth, their throat able to make more than a gasping whisper. They cough and groan, pulling themselves closer with newfound energy. If they could find the source of this liquid, perhaps they could escape, but first… they must...

AN: use dark mode. Please. They move with more care, crawling towards the howling wind. This protrusion, a horn? They don't understand what this could mean yet. As they near the source of the howl, its source is above them. They try to stand, to reach for it,...

They find another set of stairs, these slipperier than the ones below. But still, they climb, further upwards towards the surface. They know it's not far now, and can see more light from the top of the stairwell. Drinking from water as they go, they start to m...

They grunt and force themselves forwards, trying to pull themselves past the blizzard and towards anywhere there may be safety. Their hooves crush the snow beneath them, carrying them through the cold. A cold which is starting to pierce their coat, and their f...

They mostly stay quiet while carrying me to their lodge. The strange silver barrier holding back the blizzard follows us. I wish… I knew what that was, I think to myself, looking around. Trees start to form in the blizzard, and soon a larger structure: the afo...

The sound of the kettle has ceased, and only a moment later, Sylvia comes back with two mugs of tea, and an apple. She places the apple and a mug in front of me, while placing the other mug in front of where she was sitting earlier, then sits down there. Thing...

cw: qtbug abuse Flashes of light, a mix of green, red, and shades of both. A chaotic environment, in a cave. In front of me stands an… alicorn much like myself. Red eyes, large feathered wings, a messy mane and tail. Their horn glows with magic, and before I ...

Going back to sleep on the couch, I can't help but think about my dreams. They were too vivid, too real. I keep thinking back to the green-eyed creature. Those defiant, vibrant eyes staring up at me, or those cold, aggressive and unrelenting red eyes staring b...

After breakfast, we get started. Through Riva, Sylv does her best to explain the basics of magic, and how to draw upon it. I seem to be a natural, as I succeed on the first try, my magic apparently a desaturated red. Sylv levitates over a small metal set of cu...

*Did… you sleep well, Red?* Sylv asks me, tilting her head a little. “H-hm? O-oh… not really? I… had a weird sequence of dreams. First I was… on the ground, staring up at myself… T-then I was staring into the mirror, b-but not as myself, then…” I sigh, unsure...

After spending a while learning magic with Sylv, the desire to return to the cave has grown strong enough to overwhelm my desire to learn in safety. I get up, and smile a bit at her, stepping down from the couch. “I'm… gonna go now. I'll try to be back before ...
