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.

Lilith sat at the table in the Green Gryphon. Even though her mood was sour she had still taken the time to make herself look good. It was an obsession of sorts. She had to look good before she could set foot outside into the world of judging eyes, obsessive eyes, eyes she loved to have drink her in. And so she had spent a little extra time in her rented room, in this very inn, curling her blond locks so that they framed her beautiful face. She had applied rouge to her lips and kohl to her eyes. Her skin was already pale and divine, so she had no need to apply anything else. She had sat on the side of her bed and looked over the array of dresses in her closet before she selected a dark red dress that complimented her figure and skin, instead of make her seem paler.

Now she sat staring down at the food the barmaid had placed in front of her. She wasn’t very hungry and so she merely moved the food around the plate absently. She was still aware of the man hungrily running their eyes over her body, yet she didn’t care. She didn’t even like it this time. She was ignoring them and the few that approached her she had turned them away with a cold shoulder and a few words. Lilith sipped and her wine before letting out a sigh and staring at the wall of the Green Gryphon.

Kyrus entered the Green Gryphon in, he had dined here many times before and the place was familiar to him. He had his wings folded close to his body so as not to draw too much attention to them, the fine scaling on his skin was only just beginning to show and at the moment it gave him an exotic look. He had sharp eyesight and hearing and he looked about the Inn, looking for anyone he knew or any friends of his. Finding no one he gave a soft sigh, but then his eyes rested on a young woman sitting alone and he thought that perhaps she would like some company, he knew he liked company when it came his way, which it didn't all that often and so he put a warm smile on his face and trotted over to her. He coughed to gain her attention before he spoke.

"Hello my name is Kyrus and I was wondering if you would perhaps like some company, you look a tad lonely," he said politely and bobbed a polite bow as he had been taught was polite to do when meeting new people.

His amber eyes, like two golden pools ran over her out of a habit of analysing to see if a threat presented itself. He had had to do this in his wanderings as often people who didn't look like a threat were, one could never be too careful. He felt a russling under his left wing and parted it slightly so that a furry cat face peered out, followed by a fluffy body as the cat climbed up to sit on his shoulder, giving a soft mew.

The grains of the wooden boards had blurred together in her sight by now. The colors blended into an odd shade of brown before her light green eyes. The usually sparkle in them had faded. They sat dully on her face, dropping to the grains on the floor when the wall had gotten too much. The food before her had hardly been touched and a barmaid took it away and replaced it with a drink. Lilith just nodded her thanks and swirled the glass between her fingers. She brought it to her lips when someone spoke to her. She waited until she finished and then she placed the glass back down on the table and stared into the distance a moment longer.

“You may sit if you wish to. My name is Lilith,” She motioned to the seat. Although she wasn’t lonely she wouldn’t turn away company. For some reason it didn’t mean much to her at the moment. At any other point she would have revelled in the company of a man. Now she merely accepted it. She wouldn’t turn him away but neither would she flirt or show any interested in... that way. Not tonight. She mood was overbearing her, although what bothered her the most of the complete lack of reason for the mood. Everything had been good since she had arrived in Imythess. Sure bad things had happened but nothing to change her ... personality! Still she was uninterested, distance, without any reason why.

Kyrus sat next to Lilith and studied her for several moments, he could tell that something bothered her, that she wasn't speaking much and he decided to ask about it. Perhaps she wouldn't turn away company but acting like this was in fact itself turning company away, no one wanted to be with someone who acted like this. It was childish but he would say that, humans they were curious creatures to say the least. He touched her had simply in a comforting gesture as something obviously upset her "What is wrong? I can clearly tell that something troubles you and brooding in this manner is not good, it can have....unforseen consequences," Kyrus said, knowing all to well of what he spoke. He caught the attention of a barmaid and ordered a meal and an ale then returned his attention to Lilith, he was silent for several moments "Please speak, that would help whatever is troubling you."

Lilith pulled her hand out from under Kyrus’ and shot the man a warning look that clearly said “touch me again and pay the consequences”. Rage built up inside her and she wanted to snap at this man. He didn’t have to come and sit by her table if he didn’t want to. It was his choice to come and sit here and she did not like how he assumed he was equal to her, how he was allowed to touch her. The golden-haired beauty calmed herself and smothered the rage before it could reach her lips. She put on a sweet smile, and her voice dripped with sugary malice.

“Unforeseen consequences...” She mulled it over. “Anything I do would end in a consequence and then I’ll only have myself to blame for what comes next. Life is an unforeseen consequence and I assure you that it doesn’t bother me.” She raised her eyebrow at him and took another drink from the glass in front of her. She only shook her head slightly.

“If I do not know what is wrong I cannot speak of it, therefore it would not ease whatever is ‘wrong with me’. Besides Mr. Kyrus, who says you can be the one to sooth away whatever pain I may be feeling? I didn’t ask you to sit here.” She knew she was being snappy but she couldn’t help it. She let out a frustrated sigh, more with herself than anything, and downed the rest of her drink before calling over and maid and ordering another.

Kyrus smiled at her "No you misundertand, I do not mean that," he said "I have been through a lot so I thought I might be able to help you but if you would rather not speak of it then I understand." He studied her and listened when she spoke of him sitting here "Oh no I want to sit her," he said with another one of his smiles "I do not mean to offend you and I apologise, but forgive me I have forgotten to introduce myself. I am Kyrus Lynin." He listened as she spoke again "You are correct life is an ever continuing series of consequences but it is a thing to be lived. It is overcoming the consequences that makes things worthwhile," he said at her "let me buy you a drink," he said and when her next drink came he paid for it. For the first time he unfurled his wings so she could see them "Believe me I know how hard life can be, it was very hard at me for a long time."

Eliel walked in to the bar, Gwen close at his heels. He looked around curiously and saw Kyrus. He was not truly surprised, but it was odd to be seeing him everywhere. Perhaps they had the same destination in mind, and were merely travelling the same route. Gwen walked over to him, More interested in his cat than anything. It seemed the housecat had caught her interest better than any other animal could, save for a tasty morsel of a bird. He laughed at her behaviour and walked over to the pair.

"I guess Gwen gave me away." He laughed and looked at Kyrus' company. He frowned for a moment, trying to think of where he had seen her before. "Hello, i'm sorry for staring, but i feel i've met you before, some time ago..." He shrugged and bowed respectfully. "In any case, I'm Eraspeola, going by Eliel." He frowned again. Deja vu. He smiled and stood, not wishing to sit unless invited. He had forsakedn a rather antisocial and rude lifestyle for a more respectful one.

Then it hit him. "Ah, i remember you now. It was months ago, at at Richimon Lake. I was the fellow who dropped from the tree." He laughed at the momory. He was captivated by her then, and was still somewhat taken by her. He smiled pleasantly and patted Gwen.

She let him buy her the drink, and thanked him for it. Why was she acting this way? She decided that she would just have to shake it off, try and act normal at least, if not herself. She tried to lighten the weight of her shoulders and relax her body, settling into a more comfortable position. She tried to shake off the ominous feeling that hovered in her mind and enjoy the musky smell of the Green Gryphon. She closed her eyes for a moment before expelling a pent up breath. Afterwards she looked a little more relaxed and at ease with whatever had been bothering her.

Just then a large cat came up to the table. It was a black panther. Why did that seem familiar to her? She watched the graceful creature, fascinated by her. Although Lilith wasn’t a stupid woman and so she made no move to touch the cat for she knew what they were capable of if they didn’t wish to be touched. She was content with watching her for now. For some reason she thought of the panther as a her.

Suddenly she knew why the panther was familiar to her. It was because the man who had just approached was familiar to her as well. “Hello Eliel. I’m Lilith. Don’t just stand there, come sit.” He obviously knew Kyrus by the light way he talked to him and she assumed that he would either think her rude or involved with Kyrus if she turned him away. And if neither were true why make them seem that way.

A smile lit up her face when he told her that he was the one who dropped out of the tree. “Ah yes I remember you!” Lilith tossed her hair and settled her head on one hand to gaze at the man. “If I recall right you never told me about your...” She tried to remember what it had been. “Usual mischief,”

Eliel laughed and sat down. "Thank you." He looked at her briefly, then smiled at gwen's strangely flirtatious attitude towards the cat. He sook his head and patted hers lovingly. Once again, he turned his attention to Lilith.

"It's nice to see you again." he ordered an ale from the barmaid. He smiled at her, slipping a couple coins into the woman's pocket with a wink. She blushed and walked off quickly. Eliel laughed and turned back to his company. "I guess i never did, did i?" He smiled and nodded his head towards the barmaid, who was bringing drinks to their table. He laughed.

"Small stuff, mostly. Bounties, flirting, the works." He smiled warmly and called off Gwen, who was about to pick up the cat. She perked up her ears and walked over to Lilith. She purred, obviously remembering the woman. Eliel smiled and set an armed hand on her head, scratching lightly. The purrs sounded like a rumble more than anything, especially for the big cat. He shrugged and put his hands in his lap, until the barmaid came along. He recieved his ale, and she handed out the other drinks.

"So what have you been up to?" He smiled behind his mug, drinking the amber liquid. He set down the mug and sighed, looking quite content. Gwen looked at him and he sighed, reaching down with the mug and poured a bit into his hand. She lapped it up slowly. He laughed heartily and set the mug down.

Lilith laughed lightly. The feeling of unease she had stayed with her but she had firmly decided to ignore it. “The works hmm,” She eyed the Gwen who had made her way over. Lilith put out one hand for the panther to sniff at and recognize her before she used the other one to pat under her chin. The great rumble that issued from the cat made her smile.

“Me? Hmm...” Lilith wondered where to start. What with meeting Lokiri things had become... interesting. “I met the most interesting person... her name was Raya.” Lilith suppressed a shiver and offered a little more of an explanation. “An odd girl from a different realm of existence entirely.” She suddenly decided she didn’t want to remember Raya. “But she’s not really that important,” She tapped her chin and thought about what else she had really been doing. “Mostly seeing the sights and meeting some new people.”

She returned her attention back to Gwen and found a spot behind the ears that most cats found hard to reach themselves. She scratched her there. “Nothing very exciting really... I’ve been thinking about how my wings haven’t been getting all of their use. Perhaps I need to go flying.” She shrugged a bit then turned the attention away from herself. Another sign that she was a bit off today. “What of you Kyrus?”

Kyrus nodded and smiled at Eliel "Hello again old friend, it is good to see you again," he flapped his large wings and show the man a look which showed that he too was interested in Lilith, that he too was taken by her. Ah the ways of women, they had such an affect on men. When Lilith spoke again he smiled warmly at her "What have I been up to?" he pondered and chuckled "well I recently travelled the mountains with my good friend Eliel here and visited the desert." When she mentioned her wings not getting as much exercise as they should he nodded "Yes, mine could see a bit of a work out too. Perhaps they and I should take a little flight together, if you want to that is," Kyrus blushed softly and wondered how Lilith would react to this. He then returned his gaze to Eliel, his golden eyes studying him and he leaned in to whisper in his friends ear so only he would hear it "She is pretty attractive isn't she?" he said and chuckled "I must admit she caught my attention when I first met her, I seem to be quite taken by her," he winked at his friend and teased him "I know you like her too, if only a little. May the best man win," he whispered to looked to Lilith to cover the whispered conversation "I was just telling Eliel here that I heard someone has just bet his record in Goblin Hunting."

Eliel sighed as he recieved the signs from his good friend. Pity. Eliel shrugged. If it had to be so, he guessed it would. Luckily for Kyrus, Eliel liked him too much to pull him into a side alley and dig his claws into him. Gwen looked at Kyrus warningly. she knew what was going on too. Eliel laughed as he made his last comment.

"That's quite a feat. I'll have to meet this person." He grinned and winked at Lilith. A bit of friendly competition wouldn't hurt. Even though he had met the woman first, and had clearly shown signs of being quite interested, Kyrus found it to be a quaint little game. Eliel smiled at lilith. "A moment if you would." He said it nicely.

He seized Kyrus' shoulder and leaned towards his ear. "It's a dangerous game you play, friend. Don't play it too roughly." He told it in a friendly tone, but there was a slight hint of threat there. He so loved games. He excelled at them. It was in his nature. Laughingly, he leaned back into his seat and put a pleasant look on his face. Gwen purred again.

"You should come hunting bounties with me. It's not just goblins. There's others, like humans, if that's more to your liking. It's a bit more fun." He laughed warmly. His last encounter with a wanted bandit was quite interesting. He had done it in no time at all, but there was enough action in it to last a while. He was never satisfied, however.

Kyrus cocked his eyebrow at Eliel's comment and whispered back to him "Oh I know old friend, I have played it many times," he winked at him for continuing "I am somewhat of a master, you'll be lucky to top me." He said this in jest before whispering to him again "But everything is to be fair old friend," he said flapping his wings and putting a hint of threat into his own voice "you are dealing with a half dragon." Kyrus fixed Eliel with a teasing glare and flicked him lightly with his tail then turned back to Liliath "I know the nicest spot to fly, its above the Debon plains where the air is calming and the thermals plentiful." He again mock sneered at Eliel and tapped him with his tail in a teasing, playful gesture and he gave him a look which said 'You are quite outmatched old friend' he then laughed "Yes that would be fun friend, nah not goblins. Have you ever hunted Orcs? They are like goblins but larger and ever stupider."

Eliel frowned at kyrus' comment. "I may be dealing with a half dragon..." He whispered. "But you are dealing with me." He rested his armed hand on kyrus' shoulder and gave a light squeeze, claws coming out just enough to prick the skin. Eliel grinned dangerously. "I dislike enemies, Kyrus, but if it comes to that..." He smiled and lowered his hand, drawing his cloak to the side to reveal a couple of daggers.

He smiled at lilith again. The mock-battle with kyrus was no longer about her as much as it was about their friendship in danger of drawing to a sickly close. Gwen sensed his feelings, and she stood next to him, tail wrapped around his ankle. eliel sighed and nodded to her. He released kyrus' shoulder and smiled.

"Orcs are big, yes, but their stupidity makes them less fun. I like more challenging fights, ones who can think of their next move." He smiled, looking at Lilith while he said it, but speaking to kyrus with a glint in his eye.

Kyrus smirked and whispered back to him "Oh you are confident, good. Then are little friendly competition shall be all the more entertaining," he said and took his hand shaking it "May the best man win," he whispered to him. Kyrus scowled at him in mock challenge "I shall try and give you a chance," he whispered and laughed, letting Eliel know that this was all in fun "Oh you think you could beat me?" he chuckled "well perhaps we should have a little spar some time." He admired Eliel, he didn't back down, he was his good friend and he enjoyed spending time with him "You are right, perhaps something smarter. How about...." he thought for several moments "Minotaur, they are both strong and smart." He watched to see how his old friend would like this idea.
