Short Story: Kingdom of Mavis-Daydreamer
minikoiwosaki

There once lived a girl who daydreamed to the point that she often fell into trouble. She would often walk into things and end up with all sorts of scrapes and bruises, sometimes even running into people. She loved to tell people about them and it wasn't long before they realized that some of her daydreams were actually visions and were coming true. They soon became to fear her and soon the only ones who would even speak to her were messengers from the king.

It was at such a time that the king's messenger's appeared to ask for her help in rescuing his sister. A monstrous beast had held her captive on a whim and no one had any inkling of where his lair could be. For the first time in her life, the little girl met people who came up with stories just like she did and she agreed to go with them for the sake of hearing these tales. She lead one after another to the dragon's lair until there were none left and she was once again all alone. She decided to disappear and went to live alone in the White forest where no humans dared enter.

Ten years passed before she met another person and it was another storyteller at that. The storyteller was named Aliya and she was shocked to hear the daydreamer she had heard of was then only a teenager and had been no more than five years when she had helped in the earlier rescue attempts of the king's sister. The daydreamer had been adamant that she would stop leading more people into the beast's lair but she soon warmed up to Aliya and the two became close. It was Aliya who decided that the daydreamer needed a real name and calling her simply by her title was not enough. She named her Kairi and continued to cajole her into leading her to the lair but their new friendship just further hardened Kairi's resolve to protect Aliya from the beast.

Aliya had made the journey in the company of a group of mercenaries and it was their leader, Elar, that finally came up with a plan. He suggested that if they wanted to rule out failure and convince the storyteller that they would succeed, they first had to figure out the beast's origins to figure out the secret to beating him. Kairi agreed to their plan and soon they prepared for another journey. Kairi had seen a vision of the beast's birthplace in the nearby kingdom of Aionnes and it was there that their search was to begin. A sorceress who had been travelling through the forest heard of their dilemma, offered to transport them directly to the kingdom's capital with a transportation circle and the band of heroes were able to spare themselves the hours of travel and soon arrived in the city. They set out on their search for knowledge and came to know the beast was called Kamatra, a seven headed wyvern that had been born in the previous millennium. They gathered more info until Kairi had a vision of a street performer who knew the secret of defeating the beast and it was with him, that they continued their journey and rescued the king's sister.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
