--Solo write--

I'm launching a solo write (my first one!) bc lately I've been having this urge to write but I can't find motivation to finish stories I start, so hopefully this will help keep me on track. Also, this is a fun idea, and I'm excited to share work with you guys, so hope people join! Please try to join by Aug 5, but once I get at least 5 charries (limit of 2 per person, AEs, OCs, and CBers invited.) I'll probably start, though I'm also going to be going on vacation soon so it might be a while. You can join at any time, but if you join later, you won't have as big a role probably.

Setup: The Wizarding School for Creatures of All Types, the acclaimed boarding school in the Kingdom of Myrth, is giving out scholarships for all users of magic to attend for one summer of education. Lots of young mages enter, but only a select few are chosen, and not only because of their magical skills. The lucky few pack their bags and set out for the school, which is located in the center of the kingdom. Little do they know that this summer will not only be filled with magic and learning, but also betrayal, danger, and adventure. No one is who they say they are, and trust should not be given out freely. What are the WSCAT's real motives for the contest? And is there such a thing as good/bad?

Thanks everyone who's contributed so far!

@~amarillis~, I'm definitely trying ghraybeh cookies, they sound so good! And just confirming, so Sahir isn't a student or teacher at the school, he's just someone they meet along the way or could his mom be a teacher and he's just at school too? She could be the teacher of a special class or a guest speaker or something so she still has time to homeschool Sahir? Also, do you think it's ok if maybe he killed his father bc he used his power of scrying and saw that later on, his father might (unintentionally) do something terrible? And he feels guilty every since?

I've decided to wait a bit longer to start the story so more people can join, but here's a prologue for anyone who wants it! Also, it may be crucial to the story (who knows, I'm making this up as I go, lol)...  I'm open to any feedback!

Ok, the prologue's not coming up right now so I'll post it later.

And so here's a history of the Kingdom of Myrth!

 

The Kingdom of Myrth is a prosperous seaside town in the Laughter Region that bases much of its economy on fishing, trading, and boat building. Its Queen, Queen Pinnacle, is rumored to be a fair and wise ruler, but there are also rumors going around of her many dungeons used to torture those she does not like, whether for a just reason or not. It is home to the biggest Bibliography in the land of Juntex, and it's wide variety of books makes it one of the wisest cities in the world, with its residents well-versed in everything from farming to doll-making. However, it may be best known for its Majik, unlike any other, as one of Myrth's many notable acheivements is the prestigious Wizarding School for Creatures of All Types, otherwise known as WSCAT, recipient of many awards including the Belltower Award (given to schools with unmatched superiority in spatiotemperal achievements), the Wizhner Award (named after the famous astrologist Paige Wizhner, who discovered (almost) all there is to know about the Galaxy), and the Sandwich Award (for the best school cafeteria lunches in all education programs). WSCAT is a diverse school who does not discriminate against any for entrance. It, undoubtedly, has the fairest admission process of any of its realm, and hires only the finest teachers there are. Any student is lucky to be going there, it is a GOLDEN (Good Over Law, Decree, and Everything else with No exceptions ) School all right!

 

Gtg so I might edit some things later! Also, may not be finished yet...

Ok, finishing the history!

 

When visiting Myrth, you may want to stop by it's sacred grove of trees near the Bay of Belluine, where it is said that you can hear fairies laughing like windchimes at certain parts of the day. Beware, though. This area is also prime hunting grounds for the local were-tribe, and on a full moon, you should stay clear of the grove altogether. In addition to this stand of trees, another great sightseeing destination is Jade Mountain, with a peak of 1,053.4 feet. This standalone mountain is a private ecological reserve, protected so wildlife can thrive there, but it is a popular destination for educational field trips, and a good majikal spot as the connection with nature is strong there. Myrth's wide range of what is best described of as "creatures" include (but is not limited to) were-animals and plants, kelpies, fairies, zaratans, fossas, civets, wampus cats, whales, and more. It's kingdom flag depicts a laughing bluebird, a symbol of joy and hope, which befits the Myrth motto: Choose to find joy in life wherever you go, as it will serve you much better than choosing to find misery. A famous Myrth dish is Small Joy Stew, filled with all your small favorite foods, comfort foods, and happy foods, while battling food waste in the process, leading to a more joyous life.

In conclusion, Myrth is a wonderful, bustling kingdom, home to majik and knowledge. It contains a diverse population of creatures, and has many wonderful sightseeing destinations. Its Queen is Queen Pinacle, and it's residents are determined to find the joy in life wherever they go.

And here is the prologue allowing me to post it here finally! Thank you prologue!

 

Prologue

————————-
It was quiet on the night of June 18th. Marissa Jones was up in the second floor study of WSCAT, reviewing applicants and determining which lucky students would be chosen for the special summer program. It was an important job, one that needed to be done, and done well, but it was also a bit of a boring one, and Marissa found herself more than once drifting off to sleep before snapping back awake at the last second. She was the only one at the school that night, or so she believed…
It was 1:06 AM in the morning, and a shadow loomed over the professor’s sleeping figure. “Wake up,” came the whisper. Marissa startled, had she really been asleep this long? She checked her watch, it was already too late! She had to get back to her house to feed the… a creak in the floorboards interrupted her train of thought. She spun around, searching the dark room. “Who’s t-there?” Cried out a shaky voice, one she recognized as her own. “A friend.” Said a shadow. “A friend who bears you no harm.” Marissa relaxed. “What is it you need?” She asked. “Sign this.” A slip of paper slid across the floor, along with a pen. It was a form congratulating a student to getting into the program. A student that Marissa had already deemed unworthy. She picked up the supplies, and signed.
Sorry about the run-on sentences! Again, feedback appreciated! And, just fyi, spots are still needed please! I would appreciate it if you could please sign up by Aug 5th so I can plan more on how the story will unfold (and also what the story is...). Thank you again for everyone who've signed up so far! It means a lot. <3
