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.

With the night sky broadly hanging over the village, Zydus stumbled through the door of The Green Gryphon. Everywhere he looked, he could see groups of people chatting, laughing or even attempting to dance. Zydus smiled to himself, barely making his way through a crowd of people in the middle. He managed to push himself through to the bar, leaning his back against it as he turned around to peer about the inn again. It had been a long time since he was home, clearly the slight smile still lingering on his face showed his feelings about being back, at the least. Zydus turned around again, wriggling his fingers freely after taking off his worn gloves; setting them on the bar counter beside him. The bar was as busy as he thought it could be, many a person pushing against him as they tried to make their way back and forth. Their hands full of mugs everytime, whether they were empty or full.

After a few minutes of constantly being ignored by the already over busy bar staff, Zydus managed to grab the attention of one bar tender. A short, stout looking human man, with a bald head but cheery face. He stood behind the bar, rubbing a few mugs clean, as he glanced at Zydus. 'What'll it be then, sir?'. Zydus squinted his eyes slightly, as if in thought. "Ah, just some ale for now I think." Zydus smiled slightly, as the bar tender simply nodded and walked off. Zydus turned again, glancing at his gloves briefly as he looked more closely at the groups of people. Not seeing a single face he recognised, Zydus felt slightly like a stranger; even though as happy as he was to be back. He bit his bottom lip for a moment, before turning around slowly. His elbows on the bar as he looked sideways, waiting for his drink.

Alice arrived to the green gryphon, the elven lady looked around as she came inside, it had been a long day and she could use some good rest now. But she was careful not to leave herself open to any attacks. She made her way thought the crowd and soon arrived to the bar, she sat down and took a deep breath. She calmly lowered the hood from the head, revealing her green hair and her green eyes. Of course her elven ear to.

She waved her hand to make the bar tender and the man quickly came to her. "What will it be miss?" he asked with a smile, since Alice was a fair lady. "I would like something to drink, some of your best vine would be nice please" she said and smiled back at the man. "It will come to you right away, just wait a moment." the bar tender then returned to give drinks to others, since many where waiting for there drinks. Alice watched him for a moment, then she picked up a book that was hanging from her belt, she placed it in front og herself and then she began to read. She slowly moved her hand through her long green hair while she was reading, a habit she had since she was a child.

Zydus, still leaning against the bar with his elbows firmly on it, peered sideways along the two ends of the bar; eyeing anyone he could with a brief glance. As if taking in the faces, as unfamiliar as they were to him. After a short while of peering at the different kind of folk in the inn, he noticed an Elven woman -- her green hair catching his eyes' gaze. He squinted his eyes for a moment, noticing she was reading; something he was pretty surprised about. The level of noise and business in the inn contributing to his reaction. Zydus smirked to himself, as he glanced into the bar area again only to notice the same, friendly looking bar tender come towards him. This time with a filled mug of ale.

Digging his hand into a small bag around his waist, usually hidden under his cloak, Zydus pulled out a small coin. He nodded thankfully at the bar tender as he switched his coin for the drink, turning around to lean his back against the bar again afterwards. Even though, it hadn't been longer than a few days since his last mug of ale, Zydus took satisfaction in his first few sips, the long day he had done travelling here taking it's toll clearly. He yawned widely, glancing around again. His eyes flickering to see if the same green-haired Elf was still there; reading her book.

Alice was still reading her book, but she looked up a little now and then to look scan the room with her eyes. She noticed that a man was looking at her, that made her a little nervouse but she tried to ignore him, after a while the bar tender came back with a glas with a red liquide inside. "Here is your vine miss, a delicious vine for a fair lady." he said and smiled. Alice looked at him and raised her eyebrowns, Thanks sir, very kind of you She said, then she picked up her bag to pay for the drink, but the bar tender shook his head. "This one is on the house miss, have a nice day"

Alice looked at the glas, this was odd? could it be trap? Are we going to drink that? Itīs to good to be true....better leave it for now the wispering voice said. Alice sighed and began to read her book again, she turned a page and then she noticed that the stranger was looking at her again. Who was that guy anyway? and why did he look at her? She took a deep breath and then she turned towards Zydus. "excuse me sir? she asked him. "Can I help you with anything, because I have noticed that you have been looking at me for a while now like allways she smiled a girlish smile and none could ever think that she was evil. To most people she looked like a perfectly normal cute girl.

Zydus continued to look around the inn, still peering at the woman every so often. More out of a curiosity than anything else. Other than the occasional drunken laugh, a lot louder and more noticeable than others in the inn, there wasn't much worthwhile going on for him to watch. The Elven woman, to him, seemed more into her book than the rest of the hustle and bustle going on -- hence it sparked a kind of hint of curiosity in his head. He yawned again, quickly covering it with his mug and a gulp of ale at the same time. It was only then he noticed green haired Elf come towards him; something unexpected to him as he hadn't noticed she saw him glancing at her.

Zydus lowered his mug, after taking a few sips. He was slightly surprised when the woman approched him, and asked what she did; not realising how odd it might've looked to her when seeing him glancing at her. He straightened himself up more, still leaning against the bar counter. "Oh...Nothing, sorry. I didn't mean anything by it." He smiled slightly, although a little awkwardly. As if trying to show her he meant nothing sinister. "I just kind of noticed you, among all the rest of the inn. Heh." He glanced ahead, past her gaze for a moment, while he took a few more sips of his drink.

Alice nodded. I see she said and smiled. Well Itīs no problem dear, donīt be sorry about it. I have to say that it is more intresting to talk with people then to read a stupid book. You gave me my chance to talk with someone she laughed. Then she took anather sip from her vine. How very rude of me, my name is Alice Winters of the Moon elfs. I understand why you noticed me, green hair is not very common these days
She closed the book and picked it up, she looked at it for a moment, then she looked back at the stranger again, the elven woman was still smiling a bright and happy smile. And who might you be noble sir? she asked.

Zydus glanced back at her, lowering his mug once more. This time, he was more relaxed; feeling any lasting awkwardness leave him. He smiled slightly, nodding thankfully. "Heh, at least my curiosity did something right for once." He smirked slightly, leaning back more comfortably again against the bar counter. "I'm Zydus, nice to meet you then, Alice...even wiith the way we meet." Zydus smiled. taking another quick gulp of his drink, as he glances around again for the moment while wiping his lips clean of any ale.

"Since we know each other by name now, can I ask if you're a local here?" He shuffled his feet. "It's been a long time since I was back here...Just more curiosity you could say; would love to find out what's new here and so on." He smiled warmly, peering at her. His eyes flickering around the background every so often.

People have meet in stranger ways before Alice said. and I wish I could tell you anything but Iīm not from around these parts. I will not be to much help. she made a pause to take anather sip of her vine before she keept talking. Iīm just here to get some rest from my...adventures. she giggled to herself.

My this is sick, we sound like a small school girl or something, letīs just kill him and take all his belongings, that is fun, no?

Alice sighed and shook her head, of course could Zydus not hear the other voice since it would sound very...odd if someone had a second voice coming out of thin air. The sorceress was still smiling at the knight and none would think that anything was wrong.

Zydus nodded at her, taking a few more sips of his ale. "I'll be sure to ask around sooner or later, while I'm here at least." He smiled, putting his near empty mug down on the counter beside him, before turning around to face her again. His eyes glancing around the inn - as well as at her, a usual habit of his in conversations like this. "I've lived here for most of my childhood, just got back tonight." He glanced over where he could hear some cheers from, quickly eyeing a very tipsy looking man being pulling up from the floor; a small smirk on his face.

"At least some things don't change, heh." He squinted his eyes, taking a quick glance around the rest of the inn, before looking back at her.

Alice listened to Zydus when he was talking, To ask is the best way to know something. she said. She to looked around the inn when he did. I myself lived in a small village to the south, but I have not been there for many years now, and I donīt think I will be back. she sighed and shook her head, Yes your right, some things never change. But then again the world would not be very intresting if thins did not change. she smiled towards Zydus. Thatīs what my mother told me.

Zydus smiled softly, pausing for a moment, before he turns slightly so only one of his elbows held him up against the bar. "True. I guess the only thing that can really change in small places like this are the people, right?"He smirks slightly, before looking at the same bar tender from before. "Same again, sir?" "Right." The bar, seemed to be fuller now, even though it was only the level of noise that increased. Zydus peered at the Elf again. "Is this your first time here, by the way?"

It wasn't long before the short, stout man returned; and once again they did the same exchange of Zydus' coin for the mug of ale.

"True. I guess the only thing that can really change in small places like this are the people, right?"

Alice took anather sip from her vine before she said anything. Yes your right about that, I would guess that many people have moved to other cities and villages, and that people have moved in from the outside to.

"Is this your first time here, by the way?"

Alice thought for a moment "Yes this is my first time here" she said. But I know that my mother originaly came from around this area of the land, but then she moved away when she meet my father. It was hard to hear very well in the bar since there was much noise, but she did her best. Some people had started to singsomewhere in the bar.

Zydus smiled slightly, leaning his back fully against the bar again, as he began to watch where the singing had started up from. "World's a small place, aint it?" He took a sip of his drink, as his eyes continued to watch the area of the inn where he could see the singing coming from. "Although, it feels even smaller in here due to how crowded this place is...Which is nice in a way. At least it feesl welcoming, you could say."

Zydus smirked to himself for a moment, looking ahead as if in thought, before quickly turning to her again. "Would you like another drink, if you're done anytime soon with your own?" He glanced sideways at the bar, looking for anyone who wasn't busy enough.

A young, cloaked woman steps into the Green Gryphon and closed the door behind her. She took off her hood and looked around the inn(?) and noticed that it was kind of crowded in there. But she found an avalible seat at the bar.
With careful steps, she walked to the counter and later on stood beside Zydus,
"Excuse me, but is this seat avalible?" Nina asked the man with a gentle voice, she had a cute smile on her face and looked somewhat tired.

Nina had been traveling for a while and found this inn by luck and decided to stay there through the night. She had no real clue where to head next and hoped to find someone to talk to since she would like some advices.

Alice looked at Zydus for a moment before she said anything. You might be right about that, but then again things is different from people to people, some might think that the world is big and some that it is small. Same goes with this bar, because it might be comfortable and welcoming for some people but not to others.

She drank out the last of her vine, then she smiled at Zydus when he asked if she wanted something to drink. Well that would be nice. she said.

He eyes moved to the new stranger as she began to talk of course she had seen the woman come into the building, but she did not look to special.
