Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books they used to have at the library? Well, let's do something like that. We’re going to tell the journey of a storybook hero. We won’t give him/her a name, or go into specifics like that. We’re not going to get bogged down on the details. Try to use archetypes and motifs that are recognizable, but it is up to you whether or not you want to make a comment on the accepted norms of fairy tales by breaking them. Start with a picture from Flickr. It can be random or deliberate, as long ...

For the version of part 5 that precedes this one, go to MauveShirt’s blog post. For the first part of this story, go here. Photo by Sanews I was horribly confused. “Did you not come from the Silver Well?” She shook her head and said with a strange glint in her eyes, “That was the Sacred Well. The Silver Well leads to the other side of the world.” I asked her, “How do you know this?” “The bird sang it to me.” She took me by the hand and we began to walk. The armor was silent now, like the ...

The floor was smooth after a point, which indicated that the tunnel had been much used, or man-made. Or, perhaps, both. I followed it cautiously, remembering that I needed to think of not only myself, but my sister as well. The light grew. It wasn’t a light I had ever ...

Read Jenn’s Part Three before this one! I moved my arms and legs. They seemed whole, unbroken. My knife was still with me. When I rose to my feet, it felt like I had aged centuries. I looked at my hands, but they were still as they had been when I left my father’s house. I blinked and tried to accustom myself to movement in a lateral plane. I cannot say how long I walked in that forest, my feet falling on plants that smelled like resin. Stillness reigned over that wood, and its silence stole the sound of my ...

I left home when I was 16. My mother had fallen grievously ill and one night my father was out smoking his pipe and he saw a silver bird alight in the holly tree above him. It told him the only cure was to find the Root of Life, located on the other side of the world. He called the four of us into the kitchen and said, “My children, you being young and healthy, the lights of my waning years, I bear a heavy weight in my chest for I fear I have to send you out into the ...
