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.

Melody sat with her legs folded delicately under her. Her big blue eyes drank in her surroundings. Her skin had the effect of being underwater. Sunlight played off it making water like patterns. When the wind blew her hair it looked more like it was floating on water’s surface more than being blow by a wind. Even her movements held the air of being submerged. They were slower than normal and calm. Melody was a girl who seemed endlessly patient.

In front of her spread Norwood Lake, behind her were trees, under her was soft green grass. It seemed to brighten as she sat there, like she was leaking water out of her pores to feed the undergrowth. One of her hands trailed over the petals of a light pink flower and it rose to meet her touch. She shook her head and her hair alighted from her body and came back to settle on her shoulders again.

Sighing, Melody looked out over the lake. The girl had a sadness about her, an unknown in her life that followed her everywhere. She looked lonely, and sunken, like she wished to be held, but didn’t dare let anyone. The girl opened her mouth and started to sing quietly to the pink flower.

Something move in the grass close to the water...it was impossible to see what it was and it seemed rather small...the sound stopped when Melody started to sing...as if whoever it was there listened to the sound. Then it started again and this time it moved closer to the woman...a few seconds later something walked out from a bush.

It was....a mouse, but right away one could see that it was no normal mouse...no he had a little belt with a sword and a shield on his back matching his size. He also had a decorative feather behind one of his ears. He walked over to the water genasi without any hesitation...then he bowed down deeply and in a gracious way that looked very weird coming from a mouse. "It is an honor to meet such a wonderful beauty in this part of the forest" he said in common language. "Sorry to interrupt your beautiful tunes fair maiden, but I just had to see who could possible create sure wonderful sounds." he looked up at her with something who could be called a mouse smile...his eyes and fur where of the kind any mouse had, he seemed to remember something and made another deep bow like before. "How very rude to talk without introducing myself properly, I am Sir Socrates, honorable knight of justice and light. At your service milady"

Melody stopped singing at the sound of a voice. She looked around but couldn’t see anyone at first. But as the small voice continued Melody lowered her blue eyes to rest on a … mouse. He had a feather tucked behind his ear and a small sword and shield with him. Melody smiled don’t at him.

“The honor is mine.”
Melody smiled at him. Being called a beauty by a mouse wasn’t as intimidating as it was when men spoke of her looks. “Thank you sir. And no need to worry about interrupting me. I was just enjoying the water and sunshine.” Melody smiled and giggled at the mouse.

“I’m Melody. It’s nice to meet you Sir Socrates.” Melody shifted her body and stretched out so that she was laying across the grass, her head resting on her hands and her eyes at level with Socrates’ now. “Now that I can see you better, can I ask how you fight evil, what with being a few inches tall and all that.”

Socrates smiled at the woman...for once someone who treated him with respect...that was good and made him feel like what he did was important. "A honorable pleasure miss Melody, a beautiful name and so suting for a woman with such a wonderful voice..." he watched her calmly for a few moments. "May I be so bold to ask something, are you by any chance one of the water genasis? Or perhaps an wind one? Because you look much like the woman with the orphanage outside of Cascadia and If my memories serves me right she to is a genasi of some kind. I am so sorry if I was rude to ask such a thing lady Melody"

Socrates calmly watched her as she shifted her body and came closer to him....he stood his ground and watched her...he twitched his nose slightly at her question...then he pulled out the blade so that the sun made it glow slightly. "With this weapon of course, with this blade and my courage I have smited the most foul demons and monsters" he sounded very proud as he said this, then he placed the sword back into his belt again. "My size if a small problem to me in my mission, It have often given me an edge against my enemies...making it impossible for them to hit me."

“I’m a water genasi and a wind one actually.” Melody smiled at him. “And I don’t mind telling people about myself.” She kicked her legs in the air and tilted her head to the side watching his sword.

“I can see how it would be hard to do battle with someone much smaller than yourself, and from my experience mice are very good climbers. Why you could just climb all over them and they’d never be able to hit you! It’s brilliant!” Melody laughed, her laugh echoed her voice, light as wind and it bubbled like a brook.

“Can you show me some of your moves? I’ve never seen anyone really fight before. I’ve only heard of it.” Actually the truth was that whenever she was around men Melody got uncomfortable, awkward, and tried her best to leave when they were no longer paying attention. She felt like something was always missing from her when she was around them. Now she had the chance to see a few daring sword moves and she felt at ease.

“To be honest, I like that you’re a mouse.” She smiled happily at Socrates.

Socrates nodded. "Then maybe you should visit the orphanage sometime, I have heard the lady who owns it is a really sweet person with a beautiful voice just like yours...might be a racial treat. I think her name is Erin Shander...people say she is the only child of one of the high spirits of wind" he smiled a mouse smile as he said this...he had never meet the woman but he had heard she was a member of the knight guild...so she had to be a good person,

He moved a little as if he was shy when she said how brilliant it was to be small..."Well it have helped me many times and yes my people are very good at climing since we have out claws and tail to grab hold and such." his tail was moving slightly back a forth as he was talking...he bowed when she asked if he could show some moves. "I would be delighted to do so milady"
Then he quickly pulled out the sword with his tail and threw it up into the air...

The little animal jumped after the blade and captures it in midair landin in the grass the second later. "The first thing I do is to go for the tendrils in the leg with a cut...most of the times making them fall down, then I go stright for the throat." he was swining his sword as a demonstration of what he said. "But that is only for the humans I fight...for rats and such alike I block there fangs with my blade and then use my speed to get a cut in the belly." this is what he did for the coming minutes...showed different ways he could swing the blade and such.

He stopped when he was done and bowed down as graceful as always. "If you like me as a mouse then I am glad I could be of service to you fair Melody. But I see not why such a lady do not have a knight in golden armor at her side?"

Melody clapped after he had completed each move, laughing happily at the show. She smiled happily. When she stopped and bowed Meldoy tilted her head to the side. When he asked about her knight in shining armor Melody fidgeted awkwardly and decided to talk about something else first.

“I would love to meet this Erin Shander. You speak so highly of her that she must be a nice woman.” Melody smiled. “And she owns an orphanage she must be really sweet, you’ll have to tell me how to get to her orphanage so that I can meet her someday.” Melody smiled but it was soon gone from her face. She sighed a long, slow sigh before looking back at Socrates.

“The thing about the knight is” –Melody closed her eyes unsure whether she should tell him the truth or not—“I’ve met a lot of nice guys, don’t get me wrong, it’s just that none of them really... do it for me. I just don’t feel the attraction, that thing people call ‘love’. So I’m still waiting...” Melody opened her eyes and looked at Socrates.

“That doesn’t make me weird does it?” She pulled at a strand of her hair and looked at him questioningly.

Socrates smiled at her. "I would love to do so fair Melody, I know not exactly where in Cascadia she is living but you should be able to ask anyone in the city for the way without any problem" he calmly placed the sword back in the little belt as he was talking. Then he moved the feather behind his ear a little to the left as it was about to fall of.

He listened to her words and did not show any sign of emotions right away until she was done, then he smiled another mouse smile. "Well I am sure that one day you will se a man walk thouhg the door and then just like a lightning from the sky you will know that it is him....yes even better if it happens to a person who saves you from harm...then you know he would do it again" he made a dramatic gesture with his small hands. "There is nothing weird with you dear, no no not at all if you ask me, your a fair young woman with the entier life ahead of you. But until the day comes when a man will give you his heart and soul in the name of love, will you honor this noble knight to be your protector in times of need?" he had kneeled down and bent his head slightly as he was talking.
