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.

The smoke was thickening, and beginning to make Phedre's eyes water. She held back a string of curses she would have directed at the dragon and focused on the man. He was ignorant, which was especially amusing considering he thought he was intelligent. "I would call you more than foolish," she said softly, her muscles twiching as she faught the urge to stab him right then and there. Mayhap she would leave him for the dragon. Phedre tried to listen for the black creature, still looking at the man, at least she had reasoning behind this fighting. Phedre had sensed a den nearby, she was just too tired to care when she lay to rest in a tree nearby it. She continued to speak to the man, "you act as though you are a man of education, a scholar perhaps," Phedre began, her heart beating madly in her ears as she felt the rage in her viens pulse through her body, "but you act like a child, a young, ignorant, stupid child."

She ran a hand through her hair hoping to steady her anger, "you think to lecture us about control when you can't even control your mind? We have more control than 12 of you combined," she rested her hand of her sword hilt. She inhaled slowly continuing, "and you are wrong about hiding and being killed. No matter what you would have done, you will be killed. An unwanted observer is not only a neusance, but also a witness. Why leave those lying around? If you wanted someone to watch, you should have gone to the training academies, you weren't wanted here."

Ghan grinned, watching the dragon quietly. "I know why you hunt. It is not only to keep living, but as an instinct.. Truely facinating.." He said. He just stood there, not really amazed or in awe. The smoke rose in through his nostrils, he breathed it in as it was a heavenly aroma even though he was not a pyro or anything of the sort; it reminded him of sweet pain. "Who said I'm smart? If I were smart, as most would say, I wouldn't walk into the many battles that I have.. Sorry for intruding.." He said, putting an emphasis on 'intruding' slightly. "I came here to watch the fight, not to talk.." He said. "But, yes, I do act like a child.. Mostly because half the talk is mostly jokes that no one understands and are not really funny.." He looked towards where he thought the dragon would be. "And to tell you, I was kidding about the control thing.." He said. He didn't quite like this. Usually the others would just shoot at him and go on fighting, but now they talked as if they didn't understand. "Why would the Academy like me to be there huh? Plus, I've gone to plenty and all of them are quite boring. 'To learn you must learn first hand..' someone once said. I might as well find something that interests me.." He said, a smirk again dancing on his lips.

He sat down a few feet away, looking up at them. "Plus, why would anyone want to kill someone who doesn't care if he dies? It's just no fun.. No purpose.. So, don't mind me.. I won't whisper if you don't attack.. You can go on dancing the darkness away, two blue green eyes can't stop you can it?" He asked with a slight laugh, a bit of making fun of himself. He knew he couldn't beat up any of them, and he also knew that he wasn't worth the fight. This was one of the reasons he was never afraid, besides the fact that he is engrossed in darkness and death.

Incubo was becoming irritated both by the man and the smoke. This man spoke as if fighting was just an entertainment for one. He spoke as if Black Dragon's were the least of our worries as of now. Incubo moved through the smoke, levitaing. He found the silhouettes of Phedre and the man bickering.

"You speak as if nothing here can harm you, like that of a God or Goddess. And I sense you aren't near those stages yet. You speak foolishly indeed." Incubo stopped as he heard the sound of the dragon sitting down. He was relieved to hear the dragon would not fight until the smoke settled. "Your words seem to make no sense to anyone but you. You act like you are just here to be entertained and learn of the arts of fighting. Well I have some combat tips for you young one..." Incubo moved through the smoke revealing himself. "When you are in a battle zone, you are apart of the battle."

Incubo disappeared then reappeared behind the man. He raised his hand, Assasin's dagger in it, and came down with it. He was attempting to stun the man with the hilt of his dagger. Perhaps he could prove to be more useful in that state than in his ignorant, consciense state...

Phedre let out a sigh when Incubo emerged from the smoke, whether it was a sigh of relief, fatigue or annoyance, even she wasn't sure. She turned her back on the two men, trusting Incubo to take care of the nucience, and walked towards the dragon's heavy breathing. She had to squint when she walked so the heavy smoke wouldn't burn or blind her eyes. She figured she could talk to the creature. Phedre respected dragons as not only creatures of strength of also as mages and extreme intelligence.

Phedre pulled her night, black hair back into a twisted cable that hung loosly down between her shoulder blades, out of her way. Her gold eyes were barely visible through the fog, they were squinted together so closely. Finally she emerged in a somewhat clearing, where Phedre had met the dragon earlier. She saw a large figure looming before her, and assumed it was the dragon, and slowly moved towards the waters edge. She dunked her hands in and splashed the oddly clean water over her face, hair and neck. She caught glimpses of the skulls at the bottom and made a note in her head to this fashionable design. She couldn't help but smile as she got back to her feet and turned to the shadowy figure. "Are we able to have a discussion without acid and burning, for a moment?" she asked softly, her arms crossed over her chest.

Ghan turned just in time to dodge the hilt of the dagger. He grabbed Incubo's hand that laid on the dagger for a moment. "Thanks for the tip.." He said. "I'll try to remember that.." He said, taking his hand away and looking to where he thought the dragon was. "Good luck there missy.." He smirked. "Never know if you're going to need it.. But, there's always a chance, even if it's small, that you might not claim victory." He looked to Incubo. "When your half dead from the day of birth your worry of death will never be with you as long as you live.." He said. "The thing is, is that's exactly right.. A good job to you ol' chap.." He smirked. "I am only here to learn the art of fighting.." He said. "So, you can either try to kill the thing who wants to eat you, or you can waist precious time conversing with a weakling who isn't trying to harm anyone just yet.. Either way I'll learn from it.." He said. "The more power you give to a weakling, the more dangerous he gets.." He said, implying that the more he tries to shut him up, the more Ghan would have to talk and the more time would be wasted. "Because why you might ask? His personality changes with power.." He said quietly.

Incubo could honestly say he hadn't tried, or at least hadn't expected to hit him. He could also say that he had underestimated him a bit though. He tugged his wrist away with a snarl. Incubo spun his dagger, then sheathed it. He moved up a couple steps in front of the man. He looked at where the Dragon and Phedre would be, but he couldn't see through the smoke. He breathed in deeply, smoke was quite common from his old realm. It was a minor stress reliever from what had just happened. Incubo let go of his Demonic form and his eyes returned a that same deep red, but thin red wisps levitated up from them. The golden aura was gone and he could no longer levitate. That wasn't a very big loss to him though. Now it was easier to see through the smoke. The light from his aura and eyes had interupted his sight through smoke.

"I would never try to kill a Dragon unless completely forced to. I fight my battles without attacking much. I evade those sronger than I and attack those that just get in the way." Incubo put his hands in his cloak pockets. "I do not attempt to kill innocent. And so far this Dragon is innocent. I could have fled at the first sign of hostility. I'm confident this Dragon will have quite a difficult time trying to eat me. And as of now..." Incubo raised his arms in the air, "... You will learn nothing since it looks like their will be no fighting going on..." He stuffed his hands in his pockets again. "So I could either talk the Dragon out of killing me also, or keep you occupied." Incubo finished turning back to the man. "So what do they call you?"

Munwithurix gave a low hiss when the woman put her hands in the water and splashed it on herself, she then gave a louder hiss when the woman talked, "And why would you wish to talk to me?" growling she jumped into the water but kept her head above so she could watch the woman, now there wasn't much room in the water, "The only thing you need to know is that I am a black dragon, the only black dragon in these swamps, I eat whatever comes to me and I live here. What else is there to talk about?" her voice growing slightly louder and angry.

Her legs paddled lightly to stay above the swamp water, she did not like talking to people for humans were lower then a dragon, and they were not as smart and cunning. The smoke was heavy but the fire had seem to disappear from sight, which frustrated her even more, she wanted it to stay to burn the people, but if they died by inhaling enough smoke then the bodies wouldn't be wasted. She thought for a moment about the hole where she was, if the woman tried going into the water Munwithurix would have to get out and jumped back making the woman have a head start...pondering this she focused all her attention on the woman, then she opened her wings to make it even harder for anyone to jump in, now she lifted herself by her strong wings instead of paddling.

Phedre rolled her eyes. This was one of those stubborn and stuck up dragons. She had met many before. Usually their kind know of thier intelligence and use it in fun or other matters, but putting themselves on a pedistal wasn't showing for an appreciated dragon. She ran her hand through her hair and stared straight into the black dragon's eyes, her own level and solid, "You need to relax a moment," she began, moving her hand to her sword hilt for a scant moment. "I'm sure you're hungry, and there is two fine fellows there for you to much on," Phedre motioned to the noises of the men without turning in that direction, "so you can lend me one, unhostile minute of your time."

Phedre plunked herself down on the ground, a sign that she wasn't going to try anything and continued on her speech, "I come here for solitude and mayhap a little rest every odd time," her voice was amused but respectful, "now I know you're a big girl, but I think we can arrange some sort of deal where I can have a section of oh," she paused, looking like she was thinking, "5 trees or so." She gave a wry smile and proceeded, "I don't come here to hunt you, or even look at you for that matter, and the only reason why I came so nearby to your den," she motioned to the shadowy hole nearby, "is because I was too tired to notice it earlier. Now if you want to be hostile, I can deal with it." She laughed, "not kill you deal with it mind you, you're a little too cunning for that." She got to her feet and dusted off her bottom, "What say you to that?" It was a more than fair deal.

Ghan grinned, watching the man quietly. He always seemed to have fun, it was his nature, even if it was at anothers expense. He didn't like humans though, he thought they were ignorant and had no morals. 'Half will kill thousands for no reason what-so-ever and the other half will be so miserable that their life is worthless. The only ones worthy, are the ones who are able to set free the souls of the world without anger or happiness' as he once said. It was both survival of the fittest no matter what words you used in it. He hid a smirk underneath that childish grin as he spoke. "I guess you speak to decieve because I am learning right now from what you just said and how you spoke it.." He said, looking up to the sky a moment before his gaze went right back from whence(sp?) it came.

"You seem wise for someone who tried to shut me up so soon.." He said light heartedly. "Killing innocent with no reason is life or death.. And sometimes the killing with a reason is the same senario." He didn't explain much on this, he didn't have much to say on his beliefs. Half of his life he was told what to believe, to this day he still struggles to learn about himself. He looked to where he believed the dragon and the woman were. He heard them, not as clear as some, but he did. "So why do you choose to keep me occupied? Not much on talking or something?" He said. "It isn't that hard for me, I taste like rotten eggs.." He said, knowing this to be true; he once drank his own blood to keep him from loosing control over himself. "Ghan Hails. And you?" He said simply, staring into the same direction he thought they seemed to be.

Incubo shook his head in shame. He had heard what Phedre had said. Ever since he'd become a Barbazu, his senses had become much sharper. He supposed this is the reputation she was talking about. It didn't bother him though. He still wanted to be her "freind" though. Deceiving was to be expected with people of Unholy. He was prepared for an attack by the both of them at any given moment.

"I choose to talk to you because of the fact that I'm sure to be killed if I tread towards Phedre and the Black Dragon. I have a feeling Phedre really doesn't like me much, or at least would kill me if she had the chance. Besides, you wouldn't be learning anything if know one was here to talk to you." Incubo smirked. "I am Incubo Mortale."

"Oh.. I see.. But, I have a feeling Phedre, which I believe you have called her, doesn't like too many at all. An animal, or any other being, cannot control their nature as well as nature cannot change itself. I wouldn't take things too hard. As they say every rose has its thorns and some are sharper than others.." He smirked. "Some unbreakable, some mortal, some unaparent, but all there. If there weren't thorns life would forever be the same and nothing would be interesting. Creatures would waste through life as sap slowly from a tree, slow as a tortoise." He sighed boredly. His eyes wandered even though there was not much to look at. "Interesting name.." He said simply. "You're not completely right, Incubo, one can learn many things without having anything happen specifically to him. To watch life is to learn, no matter what is happening in it. One of the best ways to learn is observance."

Munwithurix thought for a moment then said dully, "No," she filled her acid gland and glared at the woman, "I make no deals with anyone unless I knew I was getting food or power. You must leave now or I will kill you and the two others." She gave a hiss and jumped out of the water her claws digging into the ground.

She gave a sigh and started to let the magic go into her, waiting for the woman to do something, she then transformed into a woman with dark hair, skin, and eyes which had an evil look. Munwithurix knew she would be able to control the magic better if she was able to stand on two feet. She wore a dark dress which she didn't like very much.

She lifted her hand and made a small fireball and in the other hand she made a dark orb, "Leave now! Or I will kill you!" she shouted and shot the fireball at the woman. She then turned and threw the other orb into the smoke where the men where. She made a firewhip come to her left hand and made another dark orb appear. "Leave my land!"

((OOC: Anyone a part of this RP may pm me or post here to give their reply. I can't see this going much of anywhere, and when I try to slip in a twist it always comes back with the same reply, "DEATH." That is fine, though right now some what boring. Are we ending this or continuing in the endless sprial?))
