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.

“I’m sorry Samathan.” She fidgeted with her plate by moving around the uneaten food. She always found it hard to say bad news or what she thought someone would take as bad news. She hoped that he would understand that it was hard for her to do all this now.

“Its not like I don’t like you or anything. It’s just that I don’t like you in that way. It doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen but it means I don’t want to plunge into something I don’t even know if I’m really ready for.” She was only 18 and even if the age difference wasn’t much between them she felt she still had childish tendencies and that maybe she wasn’t ready for anything serious or...anything really. She hadn’t been in Imythess very long and she didn’t even know Imythess that well, let alone the people in it.

“Sorry,” She felt bad.

The light in Samathan's eyes dimmed at these words and he frowned "Oh how could I be so stupid!" he said aloud rebuking himself "how could I believe you would like me? Of course you don't like me, not many people do." He was taking it all the wrong way "You like Varonen don't you?" he said "I am such an idiot, I should have seen that." He sighed heavily, hard for her? How would it be hard for her? He was hurt and he knew that Shadeen would see this, it was clear in the way he spoke and the look on his face "I just like you Shadeen," he said again "we wouldn't have to plunge into anything, we could just make our way ahead slowly, see if you were comfortable. You are the first girl I've liked Shadeen and I...ummm...oh never mind. I was stupid to let my feelings for you out. I should have known you wouldn't like me," he said looking at the ground. She would need to do something to make him understand.

Samathan cursed in the elven tongue and for the first time Shadeen would notice his pointed ears showing him to be of elven birth. He looked to be nineteen in human reckoning and he continued to speak in the elven tongue "Please Shadeen I do not understand, do you have feelings for Varonen? I too have childish tendencies which is another thing that attracted me to you Shadeen, you have sense of fun and humour, which is a very good thing," he said and realsing he was speaking in elven he translated it for her.

Shadeen’s smile had faded and her features hardened at his display. She wasn’t sure how he would react but this wasn’t one of the options that had filled her mind. She had hoped he would respect what decision she made. But as it went he didn’t even seem to consider it from her side. He seemed to be trying to make her feel sorry for him and she didn’t really want to be played if this was what he was doing.

”Look Samathan, I said that we could be friends. That’s how I want to start things out. If you can’t respect that I’m not ready for this kind of relationship then how I can believe that you’ll respect me when we’re in a relationship?” She posed it as a question but she didn’t want it answered. The answer was she couldn’t. She just couldn’t believe that he would respect her in a relationship if he didn’t respect her now.

”This has nothing to do with Varonen. And whether I like him or not is really none of your business,” Something had come over her that she just couldn’t seem to stop. Once she had gotten worked up she was hard to stop sometimes, and she had gotten worked up. “I may be fun and have a sense of humor, and that may be what’s attracted you to me but I don’t like to start things this way. I like to know people, trust people, and be friends with people before it moves onto more serious things. We can be friends Samathan. That’s all for right now. Maybe it will change, but unless we start as friends we’ll never know.”

Samathan thought about what she had said, he smiled and nodded "Yes you are right," he said softly "I apologise, we shall be friends then. Perhaps after we are friends it shall grow into more but we shall be friends for the time being." He looked across the table at her, now he understood "I am sorry, I understand now. Very well we shall start off as friends. I do respect that about you. It's just that I like you Shadeen but I respect your decision." He stretched out a hand to her and shook it gently "Friends it is then."

”I’m glad that you understand.” She had calmed down a bit but she still kept a wary eye on him while she finished off her plate and downed the last of her drink. She pulled the cloak closer around her, still a little put off with his whole display a few seconds earlier.

”Friends is a good start. A better start than nothing at all,” She said these words more to herself than Samathan. She caught one of the barmaids as they sauntered by her and Samathan’s table, politely asking if the bill could be brought to them at this point.

”It was...interesting.” She wasn’t sure how else to describe the night anymore than that. It had been interesting but she felt that it was time that she took her leave. ”But now I have to go get ready for my trek through the desert, there’s a lot to do before dawn tomorrow and I feel that it’s best if I go now.”

Shadeen stood up from the table and thanked Samathan for the evening. She smiled at him before she tucked her chair back under the table and whirled around to take her leave. She chatting with the bartender thanking him for the service and drinks before giving him a small tip and exiting though the door and into the night.

Samatahn smiled after Shadeen as she left, he was glad that they were at least friends, after all a relationship could well grow from that now couldn't it? His cat Samson came scurring across the floor and into his lap, he was purring contentedly at being back with his master and Samathan reached down a hand and patted his faithful feline friend. "Ahh girls are confusing things Samson," he said softly "one has to trend carefully around them." But he was happy, at least he and Shadeen were friends now, a relationship could form between them. But he couldn't help being jealous of that other man, what was his name, Varonen.

Eliel walked into the tavern, Gwen by his side. He took a seat at a table, and Gwen curled around his chair. He drew a glare from the barkeep, but he said nothing. Eliel looked up to see Kyrus. Eliel waved him over. "Kyrus my friend! come and have a drink with me." He chuckled and scratched Gwen behind the ears. She rolled over and purred, standing up when she saw Samson. Striding over to him, she sat and nudged the cat.

Eliel's warm greeting shook Kyrus out of his thoughts about his wife and how much he missed her. He quickly kissed the locket which had Aris' name carved into it and slipped it back under his shirt for protection, he wouldn't let anything scratch the locket. He looked up at Eliel with a smile and walked over to his friend "Indeed I would welcome a drink with you my friend," he said and Samson licked Gwen's ear when she nudged him and he batted playfully at her other ear with his paw.
