The Northern Blade     "Father, dive!"
   The old man dove as instructed, landing prone on the ground. Just in time to avoid the dragon that had swooped down at him. He must have had good reflexes despite his age.
   The younger of the two men turned towards the dragon that had just flown by. He stretched out one hand and his palm began to glow. A sudden light burst forth and a crimson bolt of flame leapt out from his hand, catching the dragon in the back of its wing. It charred the dragon's scales slightly, but otherwise the beast continued on its flight path, heedless of the attack.
   That was the problem with situations like this - fire magic was almoThe Northern Blade by ~RasgarBlue

The First Morph I wasn't much of a reader, but today I'd picked up one of Adrian's old books as I left in the morning – it was something of our mother's that she'd handed down to Adrian before we lost her, some book about a vampire named 'Dracula'.
The hardest part about getting up in the tree I usually sat in was getting up holding the book as I climbed – it ended up wedged in my mouth so I could free both my hands up. As I looked down at my backpack below I realized I probably should've just brought it up with me.

I'd only been sitting there for an hour, reading on and off when something started to fall from the sky.

Neglected Tasks It was strange coming back to her old home. Hannah fished her house keys out of the pocket of her blue jeans and slid the right key into the lock on the wooden door. She turned it, the charms of her bracelet clinking together, and walked into the cold, stale air of the lounge room. She shivered and rubbed her arms, her fingers running over the goosebumps that had risen as a result of the sudden chill.
"It's so cold in here," her thirteen-year-old son complained.
"That does tend to happen when a place hasn't been lived in for so long," Hannah commented, turning around to smile at him. She ran a hand through his dyed red hair and continued onNeglected Tasks by *XxBurgiexX

Unlawful Imprisonment Another day dawned bright and sunny and Jaik sighed longingly at the cloudless blue sky. He would have given anything to be able to fly around out there, but the force field was so low to the house that flying would be dangerous. Hannah had made it as high as she could, but she couldn't make it very high without losing the bubble shape.
"It's like you're a caged bird," Sam said from behind him. Jaik was nervous for a moment before remembering that he'd broken Sam out of his grief-induced craziness the day before.
"I'm not a bird, Alin's a bird," Jaik pointed out, lying down on his bed and crossing his arms beneath his head. Now that he no lUnlawful Imprisonment by *XxBurgiexX

The Valley of Mist      This time, he was sure this was the last peak. He had been thinking that to himself while going over the last five mountain passes, but this time he was certain. He could feel it. Laran had been traveling for eight days in search of his target, crossing plains and hills on horseback. Using his magic sparingly, he had been able to follow the tracks lefts by his target. He had been hoping that his pursuit wasn't leading towards the Lycaenid Mountains. Sure enough, he had to abandon his mount to ascend the sharp rocks and cliffs of the mountain range.

   "What?" As usual, Keizen was not. "That doesn't even make any sense."
   "Sure it does." Taphram plopped onto his bed in the hotel room and fished through his shopping bag. "I found something really neat at the store today-"
   "While you were supposed to be getting supplies?"
   "-Yeah, on the supply shopping trip. Anyways, I found something really neat at the store today that I think will be of use for both of us."
   Keizen grunted. "Was it free?"
   "No," Taphram said, drawing out the single syllable, giving his companion a duh! look. "I was at the store, not the dumLight Reading by ~RasgarBlue

Payment Due      He hated it when they did this. Absolutely hated it. He had spent the better part of his week hunting down some notorious criminal over miles of terrain, and this is the thanks he gets? Laran left the city guard office in a huff.
    Even though the criminal had been captured back in Laran's home country, she had technically started her crime spree in a neighboring territory. To comply with jurisdiction laws, he would have to pick up his pay from an official in the country of origin. Which meant trekking across the border.

Taking a Gamble     "Hold on, sir," Charles said sternly. He placed one arm in front of the stranger, stopping him from entering the casino. Ordinarily, anyone who walked into the casino was welcomed - it wasn't an exclusive club or anything. However, it was intended for people who were well off, people who had plenty of cash to spend. It was impossible to do at a glance, but staff members were asked to use their best judgment to weed out the ones who didn't fit that. The stranger Charles had just stopped certainly looked the part.

Exotic Pet Collector The one thing Hannah had wanted to stop when she came to mera territory was the capture of meras against their will. Unfortunately, the law that had been made centuries ago was unchangeable and only those meras who had gone rogue, run away, were friends of the royals, or had lived in mera territory for more than five years were safe from capture. It was a fact that saddened Hannah every time she was harshly reminded of it by the people who came through collecting exotic pets or just gathering them up for breeding farms. Of course some were still used as slaves, but that practice had been dying down a little as people began to realise that makExotic Pet Collector by *XxBurgiexX

Uuuhhh... I tried submitting a prompt for the new monthly and it said that that I can only submit one deviation to that folder every 30 days.
I haven't submitted for this monthly prompt so I was wondering if I would just have to wait or if there was something that could be done?

So I'm going to have to bow out of doing the initial set of prompts for this week or such, due to trauma involving a close friend of mine and said trauma killing my writing spark at the moment.

I'm very sorry. )=
