Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

Phedre sat at a center table, the dim light of the taven illuminating her paled face. Reflections from the candle light sprang from her shined lips and danced in her eyes. Her blood red hair hung loose over one side of her face, falling like a heavy satin curtain. Her eyes drifted from her glass of blood wine to the 3 empty chairs around her.

You'd think that in a space so filled with the oddest of people, that at least one of them would have the gall to approach a damsel of her nature. But alas, she found herself alone for another night, more disappointed than surprised... word does travel fast.

Ace slowly walked inside. He wore his white spidercloak with black web-like stripes. He combed his hand through his jet black hair and looked around. Ace stretched out his ebony wings and tail as he looked. Draco and Bruno filed in behind him. Both of them seemed like humans no older than eight. Both of them had wings at their back and tails behind them. Brunos features were red where as Draco's were blue. "I can't beleive the never of these people. I have to wait here for some one I don't even know. Could be worse I suppose," Ace thought as he brushed aside his bangs and made his way to a seat. After seating down, Ace noticed that he had sat down at someone else's table. A lady who seemed strangely pale. "Oh, I sorry I didn't notice you there. I can move if you wish," Ace said apologeticaly as he made movement as if to get up.

Phedre watched a man and what seemed like two children enter the room, and come to sit idoly at her table. She jumped somewhat when he spoke.

"You may stay," she said in a soothing voice, "If you wish. I'd enjoy the company."

She flashed a well practiced smile, hiding her fangs easily. She wasn't one for children, they often... annoyed her, and with her short patience, it was no surprisable. She decided to tolerate them tonight, for they at least meant company. She let out a sigh and took another sip from her blood wine, swirling it around absentmindedly.

"What brings you to this... place?" she said softly, a sad attempt at starting a convorsation. She wondered who he was, what he was thinking, whether this was a trap. She shook her head against the latter of the thoughts, dismissing the fact that children were rarely involved in traps set for her. Needless to say, they all knew of her distaste for them.

"Good... I'm here waiting for some one to give me a package of some sort for the Academy. I forgot what it was, prehaps Alchemical junk," Ace replid as Bruno and Raco took the seats on either side of him. Bruno stared at the woman's blood wine. He loved the taste of blood and even the smell of it. He could smell the blood in the drink, but couldn't tell what else was in it. Draco simply stared coldly at Phedre with his icy blue eyes. Started tapping into her mind. While they were he he might as well have his fun reading all of these strange minds. He wondered what thoughts surfaced on her mind. "But Where are my manners, I'm Ace. this is Bruno and Draco," Ace smiled as he pointed at them respectively.

Phedre smiled again and extended her hand to Ace politely. "Nice to meet you Sir," she turned to look at the children, "And you two as well."

She looked at Draco and rasied an eyebrow, Is he staring at me? She rolled her eyes and took another gulp of her blood wine. What? Has he never seen one of my kind before? She scrunched her nose at him for a moment and then broke into a surpressed laugh, bearing the tips of her angel white fangs. Her lips met again in what seemed like two crimson rose petals.

She blinked slowly, her eyes turning back to Ace. "The Academy?" she asked softly, "do you work there?"

Ace was expecting her to atleast give her name, but prehaps that would come later. "Yes, I am in charge of many things at the Academy of magic. The shortage of students is very in prediciment, butI beleive it is a hill that we are coming over, albeit slowly," Ace replied.

"I wonder if I should tell Ace his new freind is a vampire," Draco thought to himself as he turn to look at Ace. "I doubt she'll take any action out in the open. Although I am curious as to what lies within the recesses of her mind. This would be the first intelligent vampire who's mind I have read. Surely she must have some interesting stories tucked away," Draco Thought to himeslf as he returned his gaze to Phedre.

Bruno quickly turned his attenion away from the blood wine. He played with the tip of his tail, which was shaped similar to a Scorpion's and nearly as poisonous.

She raised her gently arched eyebrows in disbelief. "Well I hope you will get over this lack of student problem soon... Sir," her voice was soothing and low carrying only across the table. She risked a glance at Draco, once again raising an eyebrow, Creepy... whats with the staring thing? she thought. Her eyes merely blinked as her brain processed the situation in shock, he's able to read minds.

She merely smiled and settled her hands in her lap, looking down into her glass. She looked up again at ace, and then the children, before asking, "Your tails are quite intruiging, I doubt I've seen many like them before."

She smiled her practice smile and moved to rest her chin in one hand on the table. In hopes of keeping this conversation runnoing she asked another question, "What are some of these many academy jobs of yours?"

He hadn't asked her name yet... so she wouldn't give it. When he did though... she would no lie.

"That's right Phedre, altohugh it would be less impressive if that were the only thing I could do with minds," Draco placed in her mind as a wicked grin appeared on his face. Mind were only toys to him. The were like books, but books that he could twist and bend and write in. Reading mind was a pass time for Draco, but he liked to go deeper into minds and everyonce in awhile play with them, making people see, hear, and feel things that weren't actually there.

"...Why thank you... They are a nice thing to have every once in awhile," Ace replied slowly. He didn't exactly know how he should react to her comment. "Most of the tasks at the academy revolve around seeing that the staff does their job and seeing that we have sufficent supplies. Our decrease in students has caused a decrease in staff and ofcourse that pretty much means that I have to pick up on their jobs. By the way I don't think I've caught your name."

Phere resisted the sudden and most compelling urge to lunge across the table and strangle the mind playing boy, instead she held her hands together, gently in her lap, looking back at Ace. "My name?" she echoed, taking a deep breath, "..." She finally open her lips again, deciding if he recognized it that the fleeting of his company was inevitable either way. "Pardon me Sir," she said in a soothing velvet voice, her eyes smiling, "My name is Phedre."

Her last name she deemed unimportant, since little is anyone knew of it. Around here, she was simply Phedre, Lady Of The Night... a pleasently polite way of deeming her of vampiric nature. She ran her fingers through her crimson, curtain-like hair awaiting his answer, trying at the same time to keep her mind free of any important thoughts.

"Phedre, That is a very pretty name. What is it that brings you here? Some who I doubt it is buisness similar to my own," Ace said tring to keep the conversation going. He thought Phedre might be a vampire from the paleness of her skin, but he was not sure. He had met only two vampires before. One was a sad lady looking for love and the other was a student at the academy worthy of being ace's rival. If she was in fact a vampire it would be no big deal for Ace. If Zorgn of all people, could control himself while in class surely others others could contain themselves for a heathly conversation. It would be unlikely that she would attempt to strike in a public place and even if she did Ace had spells to protect himself, though he doubted he would need to use them. Phedre didn't seem chaotic like Zorgn. She seemed pensive and thoughtful. She would likely have a well thought ou plan before acting on anything.

Phedre let her lips draw into a pleasent smile at the copliment. "Thank you Sir," she said softly, tucking a strand of loose crimson hair behind her ear. She thought for a moment about his question and bit her bottom lip in thought.

"No, I am not here on the same business as you," she said casually, "As Dracon would know," she added, motionish her head to the boy who stared at her. She smiled again, then broke into a hushed, ladies laugh. Her white fangs flashed against the light of the candle. "No, not on business..." She shrugged, looking into her empty glass and then holding it up for him to see, "Just thirsty..." And oddly enough quite lonely... well... lonely enough for an anti-social vampress.

She felt more relaxed after baring her fangs, he would have to know what she was now... and depending on his reaction, he may become a helpful allie. If he ran... she may just have to kill him... if not... well I guess there might be hope for some trust.

"Draco often gets into things he shouldn't," Ace said as he casted a menacing glance at Draco. Draco put on an innocent face and turned his attention to a group at a tanle in front of him. "Ace turned his head back to Phere and saw the flash of her white fangs. He was now sure of what she was, but showed no sign of surprise. "The pearly fangs are a nice addition to your smile," Ace said calmly. The last vampress he met was dreadfully lonely. Phedre did well to hide such emotions if in fact she had them. Meeting a vampress alone in the cemetary was a fightening thought, but it caused Ace no fear at he time.

If Phedre could blush she would have... feircly. But alas her pale skin just seemed to glow a soft hue of silver and her eyes softened in their yellow form. "Ahh M'Lord," she said softly, her voice matching the velvet of her cloak, "you are quite the charmer with those compliements..." Tough as she was, she still had a heart behind all of her menicing ways.

She shook her head, loose hair slipping over her face. But your compliments won't sway me... I am not some weak prostitute... she thought silently, and risked a glance at Draco wondering if he had heard that. She shrugged it off, not particularly caring. Even in her mind she wouldn't admitt to her loneliness or even her need of socialization. That was a weakness... and she was made to believe that she had no weaknesses... and she wanted to remain that way.

"You're welcome. So what do you do when you are not quenching your thirst?" Ace said in hopes sparking conversation again. He noticed a slight change in the color of her pale skin, but thought little of it. He wondered What she did on her spare time. He knew Zorgn had many pass times. He liked to learn magic and cause a little chaos every once in a while. A man from the table next to them, looked around with a confused look on his face. Draco turned back to Phedre with a malevolent grin upon his face.

Phedre shrugged, not knwoing exactly what to say. "Umm... how should I put this..." she put one of her fingernails in her mouth and lightly chewed. "This is all I have." She didn't want to sound pathetic to she tried to elaborate, "I mean... being a vampress... my whole focus is feeding. It's rare when one get a fresh meal... and... its what we need to remain healthy. Understand?"

She shook her head and let out a depressive sigh, "I mean... it's not like I don't enoy doing things... its just that often... well... I don't have the time."

She decided to stop there. She was thinking about entering the academy to train the art of weaponry. She was alright with her daggers, but fairly poor with everything else. She only scrapes by with the talent and agility when using her natural weapons... her teeth. If she mastered the art of weapons she may have a better chance at fresh food... She would have an exception skill with weaponry, her teeth... and her sharp intelligence.
